nobody actually blogs now. I mean, everyone uses twitter (see the irony?)
I've always been a little critical on life.
Judgemental even when i deny it.
A little cynical but not like Remy (such an affectionate name).

Anyway, i wanted to blog about righteousness. I do believe that righteousness is misplaced sometimes. Some animal agency is sueing "I'm a celebrity get me out of here" for killing a rat. Said agency claimed that animals killed for consumption have to be done so in a way that pain is not inflicted on the animal.

Personally, i think they're just in it for the money.
I ridicule the statement of accusation put forth by the animal agency. I marvel at their ability to phrase the issue as an atrocity, the merciless killing and abuse of human superiority at the expense of a defenseless animal, man playing god by taking away life.

So, basically, all the agency is saying is that : we want your money and we are exploiting the support of mindless animal enthusiasts and legal procedure to get it. Oh, wait who cares about a rat.

On the other hand, Viewers! Are you disgusted? Oh no! The killing and torturing of an innocent animal for the sake of our entertainment? Surely we must be devils!
Hey, it brings in good revenue!
Cost of a rat : a cleaner kitchen
Cost of loss of viewership : a few million dollars?
Sounds reasonable doesn't it?

Seriously, in my opinion, "i'm a celebrity get me out of here" shouldn't have done such a thing. But maybe thats just because i'm pro animal and i have a hamster named snowball.
But then, even if they shouldn't have done such a thing, its seriously no big deal. The time and money spent filing a lawsuit could have been spent, i dunno, saving baby seals or smth. Which goes to show how phony these organizations are.
One may say. "Wait a minute Tim, they're doing this for publicity! more support = more funding and greater consciousness for their cause of saving animals! They're actually making a big hoo ha so that they can save even more animals"
Well of course doofus. Even if they're doing that robinhood steal from the rich to save the poor thing, the result of this would possibly be a series of "inflated lawsuits".
Even if the agency wins the lawsuit (which i srsly doubt they will) the future will be no better, agencies are gonna start sueing people for not cleaning up dog poop. For forgetting to feed the cat for an evening. For me putting my hamster on top of my head (violation of hamster chastity penal code page 407,chapter34,clause 39)

In the end, as much as we like to see ourselves as a superior race, we aren't. Yes i know theres christ and all that. But basically, we're like animals ourselves. Just really smart(lolsmart? you gotta be kidding me)animals. Talk about inflicting pain. I'm pretty sure that when a crocodile kills a gazelle, theres no pain involved. Same goes for the lioness which bites the neck. All very clean kills. Non brutal in nature.
You can say that those are a necessity, they are killing to survive.
But hey. So are we. I mean, i love animals. Probably more than you. But i eat chicken, i adore beef and fish tastes great. How would you like a hook sticking into the upper region of your mouth. I'm pretty sure thats painless. Gotta be real.
