10,000 Birds

JULY 27, 2012

When I see a band I imagine something slipping beneath it and trapping the bird, I’ve seen photos of birds with so many bands it looks like they’re wearing stockings, and then there’s the awful story of Violet , whose band eventually killed her. And to prove it, there’s The Queen.

Someone wrote me and, though the person clearly was trolling to insult someone, s/he accused me of not being a vegan because of greyhounds Violet Rays and Charles Hobson Booger, III (no mention of Emily, which made me feel terribly neglectful).

I neglected to take the camera into the courtyard in the beginning, though I did bring the hounds and their beds. Who needs to eat animals when you can have delicious, low fat, high fiber, nutritious meals that are light on carbon footprint and don't involve killing anybody?

There was no meaningful discussion about our inefficient use of resources (grain and water) in the feeding of animals to kill to feed people.

As the lead prosecutor in this case told the jury, this poor infant was not killed by a vegan diet. What these naysayers consistently neglect is that vegan diets, as with all other restricted diets, must be well planned.

“Rabeneltern” – raven parents Raven parents, raven mothers, raven fathers – shame on you all, for you are neglecting your children. But no, there is another reason for this surprisingly creative way of describing the gruesome killing of a creature: the characteristics of hunting in Germany.

Some were abused or neglected. She was on the kill list in NYC and was pulled by A Pathway to Hope Rescue, after Rock & Rawhide advocated for her life.
