Korean Dog News: They Have decided to Stop Eating Dogs... Headline: No more breeding and stealing dogs for meat in South Korea! Animal welfare campaigners hail decision as ‘historic victory’ after years of pressure at home and abroad...

I Eat Meat. Every Day... and If I Was Served Dog, I would eat it.... But here in the USA We don't do that... perhaps because we have the option of not eating dog... Maybe in Korea they face Severe hunger... and eating Dog is a Solution... I voluntarily choose to eat Cows, Pigs, deer, chickens and turkey... and every type of fish... but we don't eat dogs, horses, cats or pretty small birds... and we do not eat humans... how these cultural norms are decided I do not know... and what they do in Korea... is their own business...not mine...

Obituary for a Good Dog in California: LM Said:
Fare-thee-well to Millie the Hound Dog. She was 15, our most long lived canine companion. Came to us as a three year old escape artist from Red Bluff. She continued her wandering ways in Manton and could clear a standard four foot field fence like a blue ribbon high jumper. Also sailed through the air at head height to snag tennis balls. The girl could fly. Eventually she realized she was living in doggy paradise and stopped running away.
She was a pure bred Blue Tick Coon Hound without a lot of the usual speckles or barking. A quiet hound who was good with people, but particular about other dogs. The first time she met the dynamic duo of Artie and Danny (lab crosses who were about her age) she tried to crawl over Liz in the car to attack them. It didn't take her long to figure out they were more useful as her soldiers than enemies. The three of them made up our Best Pack Ever for several years.
Millie was one of the healthiest dogs we've known, rarely needing any vet care beyond annual shots. She aged gracefully, slowing down but always moving - that's a clue, humans. She went on the twice a day field walk every day until last month. At the end she could still climb stairs, eat a full meal, let us know she needed to go outside, and even bark warnings at the new girl Lucky, who quickly learned that Grandma Millie meant business. She was low maintenance, high energy, and a lot of bluster. She tolerated cats, but let them know she wasn't their buddy. She looked like a baby dragon with velociraptor feet when she coiled up to sleep and was stingy with her soft kisses. She could be aloof, but she loved her pack and made us laugh with all her seriousness. We miss you already Sweet Millie. Run, Jump, Fly Good Girl! We'll see you on the Other Side.

and on a different Subject: SE Said:

I'm in a lot of Gen X groups, and I generally like the content, but it gets so tiring the way people constantly call each other "boomer" as an insult, or say things like "This post has boomer energy" or "This post has boomer vibes." I'm talking practically EVERY post. No matter what it is, usually the very first comment has the word "boomer" in it. I've even been called a "boomer" in some of the Gen X groups, simply for agreeing with a post.
Some of the so-called "boomer" posts are memes which reminisce about the past, and they sometimes say things like, "Those were the best times" or "We grew up in the best times" or "We had the best cars, the best music, etc." For some reason, those types of sentiments have "boomer energy." I realize that every generation probably feels the same way. You reach a certain age, and you look back on your past, and there are certain things which suddenly seem really special. It doesn't matter if you're a boomer or Gen X or a Millennial or Gen Z, when you reach a certain age, you will most likely feel that way about the music, fashions, and cars that were popular when you were young.
So why the endless, ENDLESS references to the boomers? These are Gen X groups. Gen X people are sharing those memes. Millennials are probably sharing similar memes in their groups. Why is there so much focus on the boomers? It's getting really old. People can't help when they were born. The boomers can't help the fact that they're boomers any more than I can help the fact that I'm Gen X. And the older I get, the more I look back on my childhood, teen, and young adult years with nostalgia and a certain sense of wishing certain things were still the way they were then. This is not something only the boomers feel, it's universal.
I hope there comes a day in the not-too-distant future when people tire of using the word "boomer" as an insult.

anti-boomer meme - gen XYZ


JB Said:
Those who love to bash “boomers” are also willingly overlooking the fact that the “boomers” are responsible for things like the EPA and Roe v Wade.

SE Replied:
I've always been fascinated with the things boomers got to experience when they were young. I often wished I'd been born earlier so I could have experienced the Summer of Love and Woodstock. But like I said in my post, nobody chooses when they are born. My generation had cool things too. Every generation does. But the boomers had some REALLY cool stuff in their time.

CW Said: 
It irritates me too. Not because I'm a boomer (I am) but because it's so bloody unoriginal! It's like the "Karen" thing... People are, seemingly, incapable of producing new tropes or even insults beyond every decade or so. So they trot out "boomer" or "Karen" and enjoy the frisson of thinking they've needled someone to the core... When in fact they're just flagging themselves up as part of the slack-jawed, stumbling herd.

AK Said:
It's a bit odd that Gen X would be making fun of baby boomers. Usually the people that say Boomer are millennials (people who turn 18 around the year 2000) or what they call Gen z (Born after 2000). The whole generation thing is dumb. The reason we were called Gen X is because WW2 arrow was the greatest generation, and then baby boomer generation was after that until 1964. People born from 1965 to 1980 or Gen X and were called that because we were supposed to be the lost generation or the ge
neration without a title. And people misunderstood what that meant, and names the next people Gen y and then Gen z. So people like that calling people Boomer and making fun of them is just another way of showing how clueless they are. Who cares what age somebody is

and I Said: 
as if the insults by a Gen XYZ have any Importance... 

One thing We had the opportunity to do as Boomers... Taking LSD at a Grateful Dead Concert... That was a priceless Experience...

and SE aid: 
I knew a LOT of deadheads in the late 80s and early 90s. These were people my age, so definitely Gen X. There was plenty of LSD at Dead shows then, too. Definitely not just a boomer thing. I worked with Deadheads back in those days. They were awful to work with because they missed a lot of work due to the fact that they were stuck in some far-off place following the Dead. So people like me had to pick up their slack.

and I Replied: 
I guess you are right... I wasn't paying attention to the age of the other people... they WERE much younger than me... but I didn't care... we Were all family...

What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy.
As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions."
"In 1984", Huxley added, "people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure."
In short, Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us. Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us. ~Neil Postman

PETA Says: Iditarod is Dog Cruelty - More than 150 dogs have died running the race - The Humans might be Enthusiastic About Winning a Big Cash Prize BUT... What's In It For The Dogs? Also: 30 Racehorses Die at Santa Anita.

Are the Dogs Having Fun Running and Running and Running thru the Ice and Snow? Pointlessly? 
Alaska’s Iditarod dog-sled race is nothing short of a nightmarish ordeal for the dogs who are forced to run approximately 1,000 miles while pulling a heavy sled in some of the most grueling conditions on Earth. More than 150 dogs have died running the race—not counting those who suffered and died while chained up outside during the off-season or who were killed because they lacked the speed or stamina to make the grade. 

Dog Sledding in Alaska


The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, is an annual long-distance sled dog race run in early March. It travels from Anchorage to Nome, entirely within the US state of AlaskaMushers and a team of between 12 and 14 dogs, of which at least 5 must be on the towline at the finish line,[1] cover the distance in 8–15 days or more. The Iditarod began in 1973 as an event to test the best sled dog mushers and teams but evolved into today's highly competitive race.
Teams often race through blizzards causing whiteout conditions, sub-zero temperatures and gale-force winds which can cause the wind chill to reach −100 °F (−73 °C).

Wild Horses in Nature
There has been 30 Horse Deaths at the Santa Anita Racetrack. That's Insane! Are the Horses Having Fun? I've seen Wild Horses Running Free in the Meadows in Northern California and It Seems to Me That THOSE Horses Have a Better Life... Just Running for Fun and Eating Plants and Sex... A Complete Life...
The Horseracing Industry: Drugs, Deception and Death...
Racehorses are the victims of a multibillion-dollar industry that is rife with drug abuse, injuries, and race fixing, and many horses’ careers end in slaughterhouses.
Santa Anita Park in California had a rash of 30 horse deaths from December 2018 to June 2019 that rocked the state's horse racing industry. The track's ratio of 3.01 fatalities per 1,000 starts in ‘19, according to Equine Injury Database compiled by The Jockey Club, was double the national average.

Headline: Alarming spate of racehorse deaths draws scrutiny of industry safety practices. 

According to a group that opposes horse racing as inhumane, 901 thoroughbreds died in 2022 — more than two a day. 

Headline: Churchill Downs to suspend racing after 12 horse deaths at racetrack.

Trump says EPA chief Scott Pruitt has received Death Threats. That makes me ask some VERY TROUBLING QUESTIONS...

For Example: What if you invented a Time Machine and could travel to Austria in 1900, would you shoot Adolph Hitler as a child? Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one?

Yes, Scott Pruitt is causing damage to the USA by repealing Clean Air Laws and Clean Water Laws... and Yes, others in the Cursed Trump Administration want to repeal the Endangered Species Act... and Yes, Ryan Zinke wants to allow drilling for oil off the coasts... and in National Monuments...

BUT!

Do they deserve to die? 

Why not Psychic Re-Grooving? Wouldn't THAT be a better solution? Simply take them camping and let them eat peyote and dance all night around a fire while people play the drums? That would re-groove their bad attitudes... They would learn to LOVE animals and plants...

We would have an Environmental Protection Agency instead of an Enable Polluters Agency...
