Angora Fur

[lilyalic]

I just watched this video to do with the company in China that provide Angora Fur products. Sorry if this is inappropriate.

I've watched plenty of animal abuse videos and been horrified, I don't know why, but this is one of the worse I've ever seen. I was truly furious and extremely upset that I burst into tears.

I can't put the video up, as it wont embed.

The only way I ever became so emotionally involved in how disgusting this world is, is through my emotions towards animals. There's something to do with animals that reflects the horrors of this world for me, personally. I know that might sound strange, but animal cruelty like this for the sake of a materialistic world completely disgusts me. Personally, it shows me how messed up our world actually is, how disconnected everybody is from everything else living on this planet.

I really don't understand, or just cannot comprehend how another human being could do something like this to an animal, or even how humans can torture other people and children. When I get little shocks like this, it's just unreal how I feel, and I guess most of you guys get this quite frequently too.

Well, you probably saw the following article, but in case you didn't, this Joe's latest demonstrates the situation rather well.

It's terrible and can be very immobilizing and demoralizing. But that's what IS, at least on this poor planet. The only thing we can do is to choose differently. And do it everyday.

And just so you know, I am still very far away from this state of acceptance of what IS when it comes to abuse of defenseless creatures, be they animal or human. The only way that seems to help in dealing with it, is doing something everyday, no matter how small, that by action and intent stands in direct opposition to this evilness.

Yeah, this is a really good quote

Taking my first breath in the new reality, I made a conscious choice to limit my participation in this deception foisted on mankind. I consciously decided that ... I was no longer going to lie to myself about reality at all.

When I looked at a flower I was going to remember the decay and death in the soil from which the flower drew its nourishment. When I looked at a cat or a dog, I was going to remember the fleas and parasites and killing and eating of other creatures that goes on all the time in the animal world. When I looked at a beautiful and peaceful lake, I was going to remember the loads of disease-causing organisms multiplying prolifically beneath the shining, mirrored surface.

Sounds pretty bizarre, yes? But it had a strange effect.

Because I was no longer lying to myself about anything that existed, least of all myself, my nature, my being, I was free to choose what to manifest in every instant. Knowing that all of these shadows existed within me, in my very DNA, my flesh, my evolved self; knowing that I had experienced many lifetimes dealing death and destruction on my own, or suffering the same at the hands of others, I was free to choose. And further, I knew that the choice was free! ... There was no longer any blame for anything. It was just what is. This is nature. This is God. And God has two faces: Good and Evil. We can love them both, but we can choose which face we manifest, while always loving unconditionally both faces.

It's just sad, like really when you consider all that is going on. I'd like to think I am performing little actions in which opposes the evil in this world. I couldn't stop thinking about it today, couldn't stop feeling hopeless and sadness. Feeling like overall, I've lost faith in humanity and waiting for these comets to come! Hopefully we are creating a new reality..
