I don't read discussions regarding torture of children or animals

[Ino]

19. Not because you're sickened by reading about it...

but because you are suggesting that we SHOULD NOT read about it, or post about it. What you said sounded exactly like Barbara Bush's "why should we hear about body bags."

We are all sickened by it... despite your denigrating claim that we are "getting a pleasure out of reading about them" or that bringing these things to light are a glorification! I hide many threads about animal/child abuse & rape. Sometimes I just can't take that wounding of my soul. But I would NEVER suggest that the atrocities be hidden away.

"Either solve them or stop getting a pleasure out of reading about them!!!" Well, the coverage is spurring action. Someone started a Facebook page "Justice for Tiger." I've sent letters to the Veterinary Review Board and the District Attorney urging them to revoke her license and prosecute her -- as have many many others. If we can stop just THIS psycho from harming other animals, it will be worth it. Maybe it will lead to a major shunning of other psychos like the one who posed with the giraffe she slaughtered.

Every gang rape I read about, I give a mini-loan to a single/divorced/widowed woman in that country (via kiva.org)... my small way of empowering a woman to be free... to gain respect, confidence and self-sufficiency.

What have YOU done with your suffering other than demand we not subject your beautiful mind to something like that?
