Puppies,Duct Tape, and the Atrocities of Humanity: An Entry of Regrettable News
A visit with my Davey never fails to make me aware of how easy it is to lose hope in humans.
I tried to argue against Dave's theory that people are shit and that he'd bet more money on a dog being more loyal. Of course, this conversation started when I reminded Dave how much I disliked animals. He sat beside me and cooed "But why Nen?! (He points at his dog, Hollywood) That nimrod right there will sit next to me and listen to my stories of heartbreak and lick my face to make me feel better, and won't turn her back on me, in turn a goddam human would stab me if he had to. Nen, you don't ever see a dog going to the hardware store to buy duct tape to bind and rape little puppies puppies like some sick fucks out there. You've never seen a lion shoot a rhino. You don't see giraffes stabbing each other!"
After laughing due to mental images of animals committing such barbaric acts, I let the idea sink in that maybe he's right...and that maybe I did not have a strong argument against his theory that sooo many humans are shit, and that animals at the zoo reeking wasn't a good enough reason to dislike animals when really, humans do some fucked up things that should strip away our right to be known as a "civilized" species.
Don't know if it was by coincidence, but I came home, plopped down in front of my computer, and turned on the tv to channel 5 where there was a re-broadcast of the 10 p.m. news.
I immediately turned around when the newscaster, Renee Ferguson started talking about how a 23 year-old woman, who is mentally still a baby, was harmed. She didn't say how she was harmed, but instead, cut to a reel of the 23 year-old's mother in tears saying: "I don't know who would do this...or how many times it was done, or why it was done..."
Moments later, they revealed that this poor girl was 7 months pregnant. SOME SICK ANIMAL BASTARD impregnanted this woman who according to her mother, probably has no clue she is pregnant, or even knows what it is to be pregnant.
WHO DOES THAT? They showed footage of this girl getting an ultrasound and I shit you not, I cried on the spot. The mental capacity of this woman did not even exceed that of my 3 year-old niece, and here she was getting an ultrasound for a child conceived of rape! What the fuck is this world coming to goddamit. And why the hell would you leave your sick child in the care of an institution that was known for being faulty with the care it provides for its patients? Don't believe me? Check out this article from '03: www.nbc5.com/news/2615063/detail.html
That's what's wrong with America, dammit. We do everything inconsequentially and then we run from our responsibilities when it blows up in our faces. My niece Haley has down syndrome and my brother and sister-in-law knew that they were in for the long-haul when they declined the offer to abort her (pfft, as if a child with down syndrome wasn't a child.) Now those are parents, dammit. Those are parents because Haley is a lifelong commitment as is any other child with mental or physical impairments. You don't dump them off for someone else to "care" for them because no one will ever care as much as you can.
So, tonight, Dave is right. Fuck people. You'd never catch a lion doing that. In the meantime, keep the prayers coming for this poor victim and her family...and trust that God will handle the barbarian who did that to her accordingly.
