Doc 40 was never designed as an animal rights blog, but humanity is spends so much of its time fucking over the other inhabitants of the planet it becomes impossible to ignore. I am not fond of zoos, and I loathe circuses that feature animal acts. (I don’t much like clowns either, but that’s a whole other story.) Part of my loathing for circuses stems from knowing, from nothing less than personal experience, that much of so-called animal training is based in calculated cruelty. This clip send by blu reveals a little of the nastiness involved in training an animal act, in this case elephants. Be warned, though. This video is not pleasant.

I believe we went into the question of role of the Blackwater mercs in Iraq quite a while ago. Long before the MSM. Maybe I should tie them to the Wackenhut Guards at Area 51.
ReplyDeleteBut yes, I do sleep now and again.
What's the story on this damneed meteorite?
And anyway, I like elephants.

There's a new development in the BlackWater case (or at least I think there is) because now the Iraq government is very seriously thinking about expelling them from the country because of a recent civilian shoot out.
ReplyDeleteApparently BlackWater people shooting Iraq civilians is not new, but this recent one has been very talked about. They started shooting while transporting a couple of US Diplomats.
No more Black Water there. they're gonna have to come up with another name... and return.
