Well it was supposed to snow...just like it did on Friday...last night, but as I was leaving Stout at 1:45 in the morning it was still 45 degrees and I knew, unless the temp dropped like a stone and it was a fucking ice storm from hell or a complete white-out blizzard...classes would not be canceled.

Here's the start to my day:
Class 1, 10am Public Lit..we're discussing ethos, logos, and pathos for arguments and letter writing, and etc. So for argument purposes, my professor decides to use 1 video example and 1 press example....the video = Sarah Mclachlan "eyes of an angel" SPCA plea for help...do you know HOW HARD it is to choke back a shit load of tears in a college classroom...harder than it may sound....the press = an article about calves that are butchered to give everyone veal meat..I'm literally going pescatarian now. I am pretty much with the exception that I'd have a burger or something once every few months....but not anymore. I could barely read the article it was titled "why can't this veal calf walk?" SO NOT OKAY once they go into the description of how this poor guy spends his baby-calf life until his time comes.
All of this shit doesn't help.
A few days ago...I'm in the group Dogs and someone posts a video of this poor dog standing, sitting, and sleeping next to his owner who was killed, never leaving his side and trying to jump into the coroner's truck with the body. Then I read this other thread that starts off with this response to something that was posted on Craigslist in Raleigh NC..it was coming from a guy who has to work at a kill shelter and is in charge of gassing the animals...the response......I was literally in tears holding my dog.

I know this shit's depressing...but it seems like I just can't get away from all of these situations...I feel that because I was debating switching my major to Communications from Biology - Pre Veterinary Medicine.....that maybe all of these situations are signs that I need to stick to it and go into something I'm obviously passionate about. And maybe also I need to not work at a restaurant anymore and get a job in a veterinarian's office or possibly with the SPCA.

Whew.

that link to the Dogs blog was powerful. I held my cat, sharpie, close to me when i read the post; michio kurihara was in the background, playing "a boat of courage". i ended up saving sharpie and her brother, taco, from a trip to the gas chamber. i knew who their mother was and, most importantly, her owner. i chided him for not getting his cat spayed and for not letting me know about his plans with these kittens, let alone that his cat had kittens and no home. we have been friends for a long time, and he's helped pull me through one of the worst times in my life. but when he decided to abandon my cat's mother when he moved, i had made up my mind. no friend of mine will be so selfish and blatantly inaffectionate towards another creature. hell, he hasn't even taken initiative to ask about my cats, looked for his cat, nor payed a visit to my new place to see how they've grown. bastard. mad
i've seen so much peta and animal activist propoganda that i'm blue in the face. my suggestion to you is to not consume any foodstuffs that are not local, humane, or produced on a commercial scale. if you take away the necessity to make these products readliy available, then you've done your part. being in the service industry, i've faced this issue on many occasions. it helped me choose my eating habits and made me aware of what i was buying. due to my insistent nagging, our restaurant has more local products on our menu than before. it's a start, but there's still alot that can be done. i am omnivorous by the nature of my profession, and even to this day, i still indulge in a burger every now and again. the only difference is that i'm making that burger from scratch from the bovine who had a good life on a grassy knoll in south carolina. fuck you, mickey d's.
