Remember guys, it's not animal abuse when the creature can rip you a new one from your navel to your sternum with one kick of it's clawed foot; it's discipline
the pigeon doesn’t understand your disdain for it; it coos for you anyway. the tree does not know you own an axe for it; its leaves sway in the sun anyway. the starving cat eats the poison you put out. it doesn’t know how not to trust. the earth forgives you, in spite of yourself
