    Do you want to kill a puppy? No. He however needed to, did so, and accepted the consequences of his actions. Not easily or lightly done, pain and misery will be felt by both. The pain however will be larger if the food rations do not last, interfere with economic liability, or become unsustainable. In that sense all would starve.

    You have to accept that if this animal lives it will feed, it will grow and it will feed more. We disallow and ban killing of humans, this does not mean we do it to animals lightly. It is still murder, but one we must commit to survive.

    You do not want misery or sufferinh, however it must be embraced in order to reach catharsis. You do not welcome it, however you will acclamate it. Or it begins to control you.

    Now there are. However this is country mexico decades ago. Not all are as luxurious as we are.

    If the animals are left to live they will grow wild, it is why we neuter in modern civilization. Dogs and cats are especially invasive species and become a problem to local wild fauna. If we maintain them they would increase upkeep costs of food, another mouth is why we dont have kids loosely and willy nilly.

    It is why in nature a mother cat or dog will eat their children. Starvation and malnutrition, by eating one the mother can live and feed the rest. To hope and give them a tomorrow.

    You act as if these are things openly embraced. It is a merciful and swift death for we peasant folk. I apologize you have lived a life coddled from death and true necessity.

    A lot of being adult is finding the justification and necesity of certain evils.

    They are not welcomed, but we find peace in embracing, acclamating them.

    I first learned this with pets. My brother in law, in his youth, would stone puppies to death. A cruel act but they would endanger the food rations. I am thankful I did not have to live that life.

    I am thankful more humane and proactive measures exist now.


  • I am happy at your answer and it frightens me a bit. It felt so personal and evocative - I felt as if you knew me with how struck I was by your words.

    I hope you too remember to ask questions of what you do not understand. I find myself contradicting my motives often with my internal prejudice.

    It must be rectified through understanding. So I appreciate your elaboration.

    I find there is but one true evil in this earth, tar and dark like the void itself. The oil well is not one to drink from. I say as one who drinks from all fountains of life.

    From it I see destruction of the Earth in most animals. Nihilists say it matters little for we will be dead. However I wish my children a fruitful life, sweet and kind. Not one of pain.

    In it man sells their souls and invites wasteful spenditure. It is in your homes, it is in your cars and even amongst your cells.

    I apologize for rambling.
