Happy Thanksgiving!!!
This is my favourite holiday and it's the best time of year, as well.
What does this holiday mean to you? What will you be giving thanks for, and with whom?
Whatever motivates you to be, perhaps, introspective, please continue letting people know about my petition that needs a lot more signatures still.
And, here it is!!
Keep on signing:) http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/put-animal-rights-into-the-constitution
Shit, I don't care if people want to sign their names 20 times, I just need more signatures so it can be taken seriously but the ass- bureaucracy that is my, like any, government. It's just some governments are worse in terms of red tape, bullshit and corruption,not to mention violation of human and animal rights.
Which government is, in your opinion the number one offender?
Migwetch ( thank you, in Ojibway)
We've finally surpassed 300 signatures!!! That is a combined total from both petition site locations. It's trickling a long but it's moving, which is excellent.
I'll keep pestering the politicians. I plan on calling them all tomorrow, and seeeing as we have an election coming up, it's the perfect time to call them up. If they want my vote, let's see what they'll do for it?
Here, as usual is the link to the petition which is gaining more signatures than the other link

If you haven't signed please do it now, or if you have, ask lots of people to sign it too.
Thanks:)
I have to say that as a Canadian, I am so ashamed of my government.
We hear a lot of talk about, "Let's save the polar bears", and " We're destroying their habitat.." and "Climate change is melting the arctic.."
Ok, but what's really going on is that my government fully allows these majestic bears to get shot "for sport", a term that sickens me, as should it to any sentient being.
We allow the same to be done to our black bears here in Ontario.
Oh sure some people say that bears are a "problem", yeah, they are a problem when you have killed their family members, destroyed their land, built up all around it, and left them with no food source save for the fucking garbage dump.
So, my ass-government allows bears to get murdered for "fun", even mother bears.
I blogged here about this some months back, and when I was doing a search about people who are against the bear murders in my province, all that came up were pages and pages about why killing bears " is fun", and other sick shit. It's a big and disgraceful "tourist attraction".
Below are 2 links. 1 is a clip from youtube about an amazing Canadian man named Charlie Russell, who lives with and takes care of orphaned bears in Russia. The link has such beautiful photos with him and the bears that are basically his kids, and while you watch it think about the beauty of bears, and feel your heart hurt knowing that to most people bears are "buckshot" and nothing more.
The second link is about the documentary that the youtube clips are from. The documentary is from a Canadian program by David Suzuki called The Nature of Things, and the doc itself is called The Bearman of Kamchatka,
where you can read about Charlie who could be called an angel. Do yourself a gigantic favour and get a copy of the documentary. It's amazing! And not only is Charlie incredible for what's he's done, he's also incredible for the way in which he loves bears, with his entire being.
I think this film should be mandatory viewing for everyone, especially government officials!!

Thanks:)
Today I met a woman who is unable to make ends meet which includes feeding her kitty.
I have encouraged her to go to a food bank, if not for her then for her kitty.
This is one more reason to continue to get lots of signatures to my petition.
What's the connection? Well, people who are hungry and have no food, are going to take out their frustration etc. on their starving pets. So, not only do the poor animals have to suffer from hunger but then from maltreatment and abuse and more times then not no one will ever intervene for them.
So, please keep asking people to sign my petition

Yes, almost, but not quite...we seem to be inching along..don't know why?
Anyway, in other news, I read an article yesterday about how my government, ie: the Canadian "won't ban imports of cat and dog fur because doing so might undermine Canada's support for the seal hunt..."( The Canadian Press)
First off, what the fuck is this!!? And secondly, if you haven't signed my petition, then please take the time now and do it.
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/put-animal-rights-into-the-constitutionWe, as a whole group of humans have not come all that far with respect to lots of issues, specifically how we view animals. Though, by taking steps in positive ways we do have the ability to affect amazing changes! Signing this petition is one way to work in a positive way, collectively to have our voices heard!
We are on the way to seeing 300 signatures well before the week ends, I feel certain of this. Seeing as it's only Tuesday and we've reached 242 signatures already. It's pretty awesome!!
If you haven't yet signed, please do. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/put-animal-rights-into-the-constitutionThanks!
And here's another picture of our little monkey who died now 2 weeks ago, Rel. He bit me when he died. He was really sick. Having seizures. And we wanted to know why he died. What made him sick. But all the doctor, (who I went to see about the bite) et all gave 2 shits about was me, not him at all. Cuz he was dead and "only" a kitty after all. It's awful. So this is even more reason to sign the petition, that and a million others, sadly.
But how cute is he? He was so loving. He liked to snuggle in my arms and flop like a little, furry doll, with his head hanging either over the edge or rested in the nook, while lying on his back, in my arms, and purring as loud as anything. He's very much missed here. By us, and his kitty family too.
The day after he died, one of his little sisters, in fact the little runt, Mimsy, came up to me and wanted snuggles! Up to that point she and and her sister and their other brother had all been very stand-offish. But things changed. She began to mourn and now likes snuggles from me all the time, and she purrs a lot. But, unlike little Rel, Mimsy doesn't like lounging in anyone's arms, she just comes for the snuggles, which, I must say, she demands quite loudly:) and the occasional hold, on the shoulder, and then off she leaps!
