>>>Now you gotta ask yurself, iffin I was a dog, do I live x years or not. Value of life??? Maybe get lucky and get adopted?<<<
Ish, I don't quite understand, but I agree, being a dog and getting adopted is a happy ending.
The dogs wouldn't be born, in racing kennel situations, without the racing. Racing kennels are tiny little freaking shitholes, much of the time. Life in a chain link shopping cart.
Is being born good? Special enough that it doesn't matter, if your life sucks and they euthanize you? I honestly don't know. This may be true. I'm only seeing what happens to them. If we mean life is good, better to be born than not, then I can see that idea. Do you think that? Is that what you mean by value of life?
That is interesting to me. I mean that literally as interesting, not the insult "interesting" that you are a subhuman freak under my glass. I like people who say and explain what they think.
But dozens of these dogs die before maturity, because of the industry. They're just weeded out and composted. Literal commodity. I doubt you would be in the business. But even Tennessee Walkers have it better.
I'm not arguing; I'm asking. You have my respect.
I know one thing, here ~ You are a considerate, thinking person. And as you say things, and think things, I listen.
And trust me, I don't like asking "toxic" questions. No way. It's not worth it to me. But I will of you, because I think I can learn something.
And you started out, to tell me something, and I want to understand it. I didn't. Call me slow and uncertain, Ishmael.
And even if I don't agree, I am not a person who gives a shit that we are different. On the contrary. That's what I like about you as well, is you don't care. Amen to that. I am different from you, and you don't give a shit. You like me, anyway. I rarely ask people serious questions, I don't like. Because I'm not certain they'll tell me the truth. And, because I don't want to reveal myself. Period. |
