Maelee is dying.
The vet says she has some kind of kidney disease, and, is on the verge
of diabetes. She has a month or so before she is gone. Now, how the hell does a
five year old cat come down with kidney disease, and/or diabetes? I believe it’s because of that crappy cereal
we feed our animals, it contains stuff that cats are not supposed to eat – such
as vegetables – cats are carnivores, that means they eat meat and fish, not
rabbit food. There’s also the fact that
the crap that we buy in the stores is full of toxic drugs, which will deteriorate an animal's body in a relatively short time. I've learned that Maelee is not alone, millions of domesticated animals are becoming victim to this barrage of B.S. Before I go on, I’ll say that with very few
exceptions, I’m much sadder when an animal goes through this than when a person
does. This cat just wanted to be loved,
she lived to please people, she even liked to play with dogs – as long as the
dog didn’t try to hurt her. She tried to understand what was said to
her. She never took off running when the
door was opened, she would sit right there until her leash was put on, then she’d
walk calmly outside, to be in the fresh air and sunshine, and to listen to all
the sounds. For the first three years of
her life, she was in indoor cat (this was before I met her), but I taught her
how to be outside. At first, she was
deathly afraid of the outdoors, but after a few times of being outside, she
didn’t like to come back inside. She
would lay in the dirt, or the grass, and just watch and listen to everything,
then get up, go explore a tree or a bush, or just some other part of the yard
or lot. She liked sleeping on the bed
with people, she was just a peaceful spirited, loving cat. And please, I’m not just saying these things
because she’s dying, or because I love this cat, all of this is exactly as she
is.
I also believe that the food industry is doing the same
thing to humans – they are poisoning us, lying to use, sending their lobbyists
to Congress to make laws to protect their ruthless bullshit. When I was a kid, nobody was sick, nobody had
diabetes, kidney disease, high cholesterol, liver dysfunction, heart problems,
restless goddam leg syndrome, shingles, and nobody was obese. You also had to know where the doctor’s
office was, because you were not going to run across it just by driving around,
as opposed to now, where there are hospitals, medical centers, and clinics
everywhere – not to mention the huge medical complexes that have appeared out
of nowhere – taking up numerous city blocks in every city in this once great country – and ya know what – they’re always
full of people.
We go about our merry
way, ignoring the bad, while Polly Want A Crackering crap such as, “Be
positive, don’t focus on the bad”, “Look on the bright side”, “Only YOU control
your destiny, your life”, “Everything that happens to you is of your own doing…”,
and other such disturbing bullshit that is designed to keep us away from acknowledging the
real problems, the real perpetrators. As
the Ultra Rich and the huge corporations continue to lie, cheat, and steal from
every man, woman, and child on the planet, we continue to take the easy way out
– by denying what is really going on, hiding behind all these clever
cliches. So, all you self serving asses,
and you lazies who would rather defend the perpetrators (by proxy, and at the same time, defending your own greed and gross selfishness), the real criminals,
while you watch Monday Night Football and drink Budweiser, I hope you sleep
well – and that’s sarcasm, because I know that most people don’t sleep worth a
damn – and ya know why – because a person’s degree of sleeplessness is directly proportional to his or her degree of pretentiousness and dishonesty.
So, g'night, all you self serving asses and useful idiots. Maelee, I love you, and I'll miss you more than you know.
