Animals strike back!

I saw that same, lone crow today. I think her/his wing is tagged. It made me so sad to see her/him flying in circles and crying and cawing and shouting for someone to call back. But no one did.

In other news,
A whale decided he had had enough bull shit and killed a human trainer at seaworld.
Good! Who the fuck do we, collective, think we are?!
We abduct animals from their homes,which is a very colonial, man-centred approach to being in the world; to dominate, sell, torture and abuse animals and then wonder,
"Why on earth did that whale (in this case) attack?" Fuck isn't the whale happy living his life in a glass cage, on constant display.

If you need to ask that question, then you really don't deserve the air you breathe.

Have a look at this video, wherein animals in captivity say, " No fucking more!!" to their captors.
The best way to watch it is with the sound off to to avoid the shit "music" and the ass-commentary.
To be frank, these videos make me pretty sad because even though animals are getting a little bit of revenge, it hurts to see them tied, and chained up.

This brings me to my petition..asking the Canadian Government to include animal rights in the constitution. please sign it. If you have, ask other people to sign it too.
We need to affect change!

  1. You know I agree with you. People are like "Oh no the whale went crazy!" No, people, the whale did what it does in the wild. The whale went crazy when it let someone ride on her and jumped for some applause. Orcas have always always been my favorite whales, I think they get a bad rap and are the most beautiful mammals I've seen.
    On another note, there seems to be an over abundance of crows in the trees by my place lately. This morning,I was listening to them caw to each other, one tree filled with crows to another. A few swooped right in by my car and I pulled out of my driveway very slow as not to startle them or interrupt the meal they were having. I think they are used to seeing me cause a few didn't so much as glance my way :)

  2. Lucky you! I watched a doc by David Suzuki about crows and they said that crows are the smartest birds. I hate that kind of hierarchy firmed by "scientist" people. Crows are smart by our standards, but what about all the other animals who are brilliant, but we'd never know cuz we haven't "studied" them
