13. This really is the tip of the iceberg
Edited on Mon Jul-26-04 09:12 AM by Gregorian
I constantly think of the animals that are impacted by military practices. And war. This is just one instance that made the news.
When we see casualty numbers, I never see those that pertain to animals besides humans. But cats, dogs, and all the other beings are killed as well. It's sick. It's sick. It's sick. I can think of no other word for it.
They kicked motorcycles out of an area where I lived, because of a turtle. Yet right down the road, there are a million acres that are roamed by the military. It's total hypocracy.

Edit- don't forget that automobiles kill more animals than we would care to think about. I think this all ultimately comes back to us citizens. How do WE want to live. I take responsibility. We asked for oil, and we are willing to fight for it. That's a collective we. I want to run out. I want to ride bikes. I want a slower, kinder society.
