hi dumbdumb!
"i
like animals too, but if you're going to be a zealot, it's got to
be more than just sitting behind a computer and type "FIGHT THE
POWER", you know?"
yes i
know. i'm not one of those people. and neither is yang. however,
there is a limit to how much we can do, how much we're capable of
doing, if detractors who have baseless arguements stand in the way.
without support from the public (ie, what yang was trying to do),
how much can we help animals? we're their only voices.
"so the only solutions i see (apart
from tolerating) is either you move yourself, or you move the cats.
and it's alot cheaper to move the cats."
mmm alot cheaper, yea but hello maybe you've
forgotten one important thing-- the way the cats are"moved" as you
simplified it. they aren't merely uprooted and shifted away;
they're culled. their lives are curtailed, for what
reasons--intolerance, and inability to understand or to forgive.
you know a society's advancement and maturity can be told by the
way they treat animals. guess this says alot about us
singaporeans.
"i don't know man.. you don't come in here
discrediting someone, then lose a debate then tell us to leave you
alone as if you're the victim. i think you should apologise to some
of us."
hm. i
think no need. unless u're willing to apologise to the rest of us
too. for being rude, for calling people "idiots" blah blah.
and i don't think she lost the debate. i
think she merely didn't put her points across well enough.
especially cos it's hard to get a bunch of hard headed people to
understand, poor girl la. what she merely wanted was justice or at
least home for the cats. neither of which she got.
"every
resident have the right to have their properties protected from
shit, urine, and claw marks."
i agree,
but not, and NEVER at the cost of taking the life of these animals.
why do you want to encourage and breed a society of people who
resort to killing for the mere sake of convenience? how vulgar and
inhumae la. the very reason why humans are at the top
of the food chain is because we have a higher order of thinking,
and are capable of compassion and sympathy. it's terrible
to abuse these
advantages, instead of using them to better the
lives of not just our own but those species trying to survive
around us too. you said "don't
tell me to put myself in the cat's shoes. because animals don't
have the capability to be courteous to others. they run on
instincts, and have no sense of self-restrain." yes!!! omg it's
precisely because they run on instincts and do not have the
same capabilities for thoughts that are more in depth, to have
social graces etc that we MUST use these abilities we
do have to help to maintain a balance, to look out
for these creatures who otherwise can be overpowered by humans
easily! how can we, who claim to have "capabilit(ies) to be
corteous", not respect the life of a wild animal? anyway i'm just
curious. how can you say you like animals, (cos they're pretty.
erm. ok?) and yet be so nonchalent about the culling of
cats?
"and i notice the people with "lesser
compassion" are people who have experienced such annoyance first
hands. while those "cat lovers" never did. "
please go out more often and notice more
then. i not just "Experience such annoyances" as you so nicely put
it "first hand(s)", i pick up their poo, get scratched, get bitten
at etc. i'm sure the cat lovers put up with other bad experiences
too, having to catch these wild cats to put them in cages which
they resist, so that they can be neutered and not reproduce. all
for the sake to make people who hate cats try to be more
tolerant.
can you see this loosing battle we're fighting,
especially when there are so many people not willing to even try to
understand why we put up with this shit? it's beyond simple love
for animals. it's to do with what's right and what's wrong. it's
definitely not right to kill these cats just because you cannot
tolerate more.
animal lovers often come off and zealous people,
but only because they cannot knock any sense into animal haters,
who have grieviances over comparatively mundane
issues.
"not like
he hired some hitman to take out the cats. please la. you all are
overdramatizing something simple.that's not
all to it. it's the bigger picture. please try to understand abit
more? afterall, that's really the least you can do. i think this
issue affacts you alot, or you wouldn't bother posting so often. so
maybe you can try to get the alternate picture too. animal lovers
aren't all talk no action-- we aren't all blinded by our loves for
animals.
that's
all to it."
so now isn't it time for you to put yourself in the shoes of
other humans, as you passionately stated?
i won't post anymore. but i really hope we can be more tolerant
and understanding as a society. i mean, i think most of us here are
young people. so it's abit scary to think of what's in store.
thanks for reading, if you've bothered.
