Kindness to animals, even those most people hate

[leo3375]

Today I did what could very well be the nicest and most compassionate thing I've ever done in my life… so far.

As I was walking to my parents' place I saw a crow lying by the base of a tree. Two women were giving it water and told me that it had been hit by a car earlier that morning. Someone carried the crow (who I later named Draven) over to the tree where it had been resting for quite some time. The women were giving it water to keep it hydrated. I took a closer look and saw that Draven had a broken wing and possibly even a broken leg. I asked for a phone book so I could call the Humane Society and have it taken to a wildlife hospital.

I wrapped Draven in my tunic and called my brother, asking him to bring a box to put Draven in for the trip to the shelter. As a positive sign, Draven put up a bit of a fight, understandable for a frightened crow but a very good sign. When we arrived the clerks were quite surprised when they opened the box. I guess they're so used to getting baby birds and squirrels.

I literally gave the shirt off my back to make sure Draven got medical attention. It was worth it, though. I'm also gonna call tomorrow to get an update on Draven's condition. I have a good feeling s/he will make a full recovery.

See, Adriann, you've failed me again! Why can't you ever get the fucking job done?! And you wonder why I never pay you for your extermination services....

[the_GoDdEsS]

Nice story. Sometimes it feels good to do something you don't get to do every day for a good cause even though it's not contributing to society anyway. And why the hell should it, even?

As a kiddy kid I used to want to save all the birds that fell off the nest by feeding them but most of the time they just died. I was never evil to any animals except for insects. I tortured the living fuck out of those in many ways.

[Faded Soul]

I've rescued many stray animals. Most of them just got out of their yard, and were returned to their owners, via signs, calling the humane society with their tag numbers or sighting them in my backyard. I have a cat no one ever claimed, Psycho. and I used to have a dog that no one claimed either named Oreo, she ran away. My guess is, that's how she got out when we found her.

[sonic death monkey]

shame leo3375 wasn't around when my old cat was hit.
but that was well over a year ago.
now we've got giovanni to look after.

[meaning_of_life]

as lame as it sounds, i never even tortured insects. when i was younger and there was an ant line in our shower, i used to either wait for the ants to fuck off or pick them up and put them outside before i had a shower. easily the lamest/cheesiest thing ive done. but i love my animals. except cats, which have all the traits of selfish humans.

[Sin Studly]

Lame, it would have been kinder to have stretched it's neck.

[sonic death monkey]

it wasn't even my cat, it was my grandma's.
it was pretty old and had a problem with one of its eyes.

[Sin Studly]

sonic death monkey, nobody cares about your cat. This is well illustrated by the fact that nobody cared enough to comment on your heartbreaking tale of woe, and you had to mention it again in an obvious troll for sympathy.

[Punky Dudess]

i ate bugs when i was a toddler....would that count as torture?

[killer_queen]

i don't think it is, a lot of people eat animals. it doesn't matter which one you eat. but i'm sure it counts as a loathsomeness.

[Skip91]

yep i agree

[RXP]

I've never been cruel to any animal or insect. if I kill an insect I get the job done. I don't tourcher it for pleasure. if you do that as a kid, I think it will have repercussions for your future life (or so ol Sigmund would say).

BDSM? Merciless teasing and torture?

[Sin Studly]

The closest I've come to torturing animals is getting a cat stoned. They really really really really really don't like it.

[RXP]

I thought you used to kick Nic's dog?

Getting a cat lean is pretty funny tho.

[Jackish]

The closest I've come to torturing animals is getting a cat stoned. They really really really really really don't like it.

How'd you manage that?

Anyway I got my display picture cat rather "tipseh" on some cream liquer. He didnt like it either, he fell off the chair....

[the_GoDdEsS]

I once hung out with some insane chemistry/pharmacy students who used to give all kinds of crap to stray cats, keep them and dye their fur all kinds of freaky colours.

[Jackish]

They sound like a good fun loving bunch!

[Sin Studly]

How'd you manage that?

You hold their head in front of you and blow smoke into their face. They get crazy paranoid and attack anything that moves for the next three or four hours.

[Noodles is gay]

^ HAHA

I'm so doing that next time I get stoned - my friend's cat is 18 years old! :p

[Sin Studly]

You could kill a cat that old by getting it stoned, it puts them under a lotta stress. Find a younger cat, or one that isn't your friends.

I'd just like it stated for the record that the guy who started this thread is an unbelievable idiot. Paid to have an injured crow looked after, hahaha.

[Jackish]

^ HAHA

I'm so doing that next time I get stoned - my friend's cat is 18 years old! :p

I really wouldn't, you'd be a dick to do that to such an old cat, and you'd possibly kill it.

[Noodles is gay]

hummm....she wouldn't be too pleased if i killed her cat - I must find another one!

[meaning_of_life]

hummm....she wouldn't be too pleased if i killed her cat - I must find another one!
pfft- you come off as a reasonably intelligent person and then say things like this.

[Sin Studly]

She doesn't come off as reasonably intelligent at all, and that comment has no effect on making one look dumb or intelligent. Not caring if a cat lives or dies except for the social consequences has nothing to do with intellect.

You're an idiot.

[RXP]

It depends if you seperate intelligence from emotion. NiG is a dumb cunt anyway.

[meaning_of_life]

talking about getting a cat stoned dosent come off as an intelligent thing to say, in my opinion, especially when NiG is always trying to prove she is far more intelligent than others.

[Sin Studly]

How in the name of slow suffering fuck can you not seperate intelligence from emotion? The two are mutually exclusive.

[Jackish]

Dont blame her, shes just angsty about her terribly middle class upbringing.

[Vicky]

hmm, i just spent the last 3 hours drowning insects and feeding them to the fish...

[Jackish]

I've spent the last hour trying to avoid the sun and thats about it.

my brother said that too.. then he found a 4 legged spider for me to kill (dunno where its other legs went!)
and don't avoid the sun! its rare that we get this much :o

[Jackish]

Yeah I usally like the sun but.. Its a bit OTT at the moment.

Emotional intelligence. Google that shit.

No, but it doesn't come off as dumb, either. It's totally neutral when it comes to intelligent/stupid. And coming from somebody as stupid as Jenny, the only thing that should surprise you is the fact that she isn't making herself look stupid by trying to make herself look intelligent.

[Aimeht]

Good for you.

[Noodles is gay]

And why exactly am I 'stupid'?

doesn't that just show what an attention seeking whore i am? : D

[TheUnholyNightbringer]

It's all relative. 35 degrees celcius it was earlier, and that's hot for us. You may snort at that, but it's hot for us.

[Jackish]

Fuck yeah, its hot for us. Anyway everyone seems to be sun burnt right now... Minus me, of course.

[notoriousdoc]

If you're gonna get a cat stoned, do it with catnip. It's cheaper, legal and has the same effect. I'm growing some to distribute to 'friends'

[Jackish]

I wish I was as cool as you!

I got some from the garden centre up the road few days ago.

The coolness never ceases on here.

[Sin Studly]

And why exactly am I 'stupid'?

I'm not even going to bother to answer this one. I know that even if reality jumped up and punched you square in the vagina you'd still refuse to accept it.

You pale skinned limeys could use a bit of sun. How in fuck can the sun be that hot in ENGLAND?

It's not. They're just total wimps. They're complaining because it's 35 degrees C. Shit, try growing up in the Central Australian Desert, where it can hit 50 in the summertime.

If you're gonna get a cat stoned, do it with catnip. It's cheaper, legal and has the same effect. I'm growing some to distribute to 'friends'

No. Catnip just makes them excited, and they like it. Weed makes them violent, confused and terrified, and they hate it. They act like somebody at the back-end of an eight-day needle meth binge. And if you're actually growing catnip for human consumption you're a bigger idiot than I ever imagined.

[RXP]

And why exactly am I 'stupid'?

Because you think Tony Blair giving aid to the 3rd world is a bad thing.

In my book that classes you not only as stupid, but worthy of being gang raped by big men with huge dicks that will bruise you.

[notoriousdoc]

You haven't seen my cat on catnip

And no, I was gonna sell the catnip for cats

[Noodles is gay]

Because you think Tony Blair giving aid to the 3rd world is a bad thing.

That doesn't make me 'stupid'; if you think it does then perhaps you should go look up the meaning of the word 'stupid' in a dictionary - educate yourself.

[RXP]

slow of mind : :
given to unintelligent decisions or acts :
acting in an unintelligent or careless manner

Ok. THis is webster's def. You are slow of mind if you think giving aid to Africa is a bad thing. Clearly. Unequivicoally.

Further you do classics. Anyone with a brain would not do classics. It's fucking easy.

[notoriousdoc]

Ok. THis is webster's def. You are slow of mind if you think giving aid to Africa is a bad thing. Clearly. Unequivicoally.

Did you actually say that or has he twisted your words Jen?

[Noodles is gay]

Not really, I just have a different opinion. I watched the Bridget Jones 2 movie yesterday, and you know what happened? There was a man who said that aid shouldn't be given to the poor. True, that is a movie, but still I am not alone in thinking that.

And actually I said that it isn't the British government's responsibility to give aid to Africa; Oxfam and other charities can go ahead, but I just don't think that the government should.


Yeah, learning ancient Greek and Latin is damn easy which is why the exam board OCR has recently reduced the amount of words that students must learn for their GCSE and A-levels in the subjects. Because it's so damn easy. twat.

[Preecey]

it isn't the British government's responsibility to give aid to Africa; Oxfam and other charities can go ahead, but I just don't think that the government should.

That's very true. It should be the Government's job to take that money and improve things here. If some people don't like the situation abroad, they can donate if they please. I do.

[Noodles is gay]

exactly; that's what the charities are for.

I have to agree on this, shove yer frothy lager up yer ass RXP

[Sin Studly]

You haven't seen a cat on marijuana.

Yeah, it is easy. Learning anything academic is easier than taking a shit when you've got the will and the means to learn. It's the fact that you'd waste your time learning anything as useless and ancient Greek and Latin that proves you're a total idiot.

[meaning_of_life]

hey sin, getting any? i highly doubt it.
in roughly a month you've posted more than i have in total since joining this board, im sure you dont have the time to get out and "lay bitches", ay?

Lame? Why is that lame? That's good- not many people would do that :) I agree totally about the cat thing! I have a cat and he's so grumpy all the time. He hates being laughed at when he does something stupid,which is really funny! I still love him, but yes, he can be a little stuck up at times.

[Sin Studly]

yes...that's exactly why I'm doing it. Not that I enjoy it, find it interesting and seem to have a natural flair at it - oh no; it's merely so that I can think I'm smarter than people on an internet forum. Twat.

Oooo learn vocab! that's tough! a fucking memory test in a dead language.

I did Latin when I was fuckin 8 years old (no really I did). it was EASY. I dropped it when 11 or 12 cause it's a waste of time.

[RXP]

Did you actually say that or has he twisted your words Jen?

She's one of the most selfish people on this board. Amazingly self indulgent and a waste of space. Yes, she said that.

[RXP]

That's very true. It should be the Government's job to take that money and improve things here. If some people don't like the situation abroad, they can donate if they please. I do.


You're an idoit. Our government created this mess. Clean it up. Decolonisation is responsible for this. You know nothing of the matter.

It's charities jobs? Are you kidding me? Debt and all that and all.

Notoriousdoc, your agreement is only because she's your 'friend'. I was speaking to Maria ealier. She likes Jen but you can't chagne her politics. Shes' an evil, selfish human being with no empathy whatsoever. I have friends like this.

I have 'friends' that are fine to me but they're politics makes my blood boil. They are decent enough to me but in the end they're scum and slowly but surely I'm becoming so principled so as to break contact with people who just can't agree with on fundamental political matters.

[RXP]

I love you. Are you sure you're not one of hte old members in disguise?

[arak0r]

yes...that's exactly why I'm doing it. Not that I enjoy it, find it interesting and seem to have a natural flair at it - oh no; it's merely so that I can think I'm smarter than people on an internet forum. Twat.

ps winston churchill is a bald pervert.

We all know you enjoy it. Oh believe me we do.

Others have posted a thousand times how you should shut up about classics. I'm into jurisprudence and legal theory yet I don't keep on constantly posting about it, unless it's relevant. And that's alto of the time in the politics section because my interest actually matters.

[meaning_of_life]

Just popped our cherry and felt the need to ooze our newfound sense of esteem, Did we?
heh no.
i just think you need to get out more.

[wheelchairman]

pff the amount of times that Dush has mentioned Jurisprudence is something I already find annoying, and that's like once or twice a month max.

And yeah I remember Pyro. He was the youngest member of the board. (you joined recently under The Original Pyro as well.) Seem to have matured well, haha.

[Just a Girl]

i remember pyro! i think. i seem to remember talking to him on aim a couple of times.

[JohnnyNemesis]

Not really, I just have a different opinion. I watched the Bridget Jones 2 movie yesterday, and you know what happened? There was a man who said that aid shouldn't be given to the poor. True, that is a movie, but still I am not alone in thinking that.

You're using a fictional character from a movie to back up your points? What the--?

[RXP]

pff the amount of times that Dush has mentioned Jurisprudence is something I already find annoying, and that's like once or twice a month max.


Yah but at least it's usually relevant, no?

Tell you what's funny. Today I went to see my head of jurisprudence. ANd saw the comments on my essays. The fuckin marker didn't understand what my argument was. It's pretty awesome when they MARK YOU DOWN cause they don't understand you. I fuckin know more than them!

[Sin Studly]

I remember pyro, he was a godawful annoying little fuckwit. Good to see he's all grown up now.

[JohnnyNemesis]

...seriously, a FICTIONAL CHARACTER?!

[TheUnholyNightbringer]

I reckon 2+2 is four. Barney told me.

[IdiotOfTheDay]

Wow. You wondered off the original topic a bit, huh?
But about the kindness to animals thing: my friend has a nest of squirrels in the tree of her backyard and she feeds them peanuts. So I'm always threatening to call one of my other friends and tell him about it because he hates squirrels and has sworn to train birds to kill them. All because one bit him on the nose. XD

[the_GoDdEsS]

I joined in July 2000 under the username pyro(I grew out of that name years ago,but didn't want to change it so that people knew who I was. Kind of like Godess).

Haha, no shit. I remember you too. I was wondering who you were on the old board the whole time.

[Kitten]

Only selfish humans have no affection in them at all. At least cats show their appreciation when you give them a treat.

As for saving birds, I always used to save anything I could. One cat was getting abused where it was, so I asked the people that were doing it if I might have him, fed him back up and then placed him with a good home.
I have saved many a bird around here, and I even saved a rabbit once. It was only a baby, and I was worried about it, so I took it home and then my parents told me to get rid of it.

[Sin Studly]

I saved a rabbit once. The poor thing was stuck in a steeljaw trap (that I set) and it's leg was broken so I bashed it's head in, slit it's throat, gutted it, skinned it and ate it. Eating dead animals is totally awesome.

Well I do imagine eating them dead is a hell of a lot more practical then having them moving or making sounds of agony as you are eating them.
And if you bashed it's head in, why did you bother slitting the throat?

[Sin Studly]

To bleed it dry to make the rest of the job less messy.

Twas a good thing too, cause I didn't hit it quite hard enough and it woke up with a slit throat and ran away. It didn't get far.
