Termyn8or -> RE: Please, watch and learn (8/30/2008 8:52:04 PM)

I ran across this looking for another old (yeah, two or three day) thread. Last time I ran across it I did not have my sound on, and mainly I skipped posts with videos in them and such because I didn't want to go to the trouble of firing it up. (lost the remote)
But now that I have watched this, I think I shoud say something. I love animals, and that is why I do not keep them. I almost had a dog last year, I bade him (or her actually) into my house and we got along. Not long later he/she wanted to leave. If he wanted to stay, that would be OK, but it would be by choice.
I will not go somewhere and pay money for an animal, that is wrong to the core. I have also let a stray cat in my house, he/she left. They did not pick me. Neither one of them was a prime specimen, but then again, neither am I.
I would preserve the reproductive powers of a good breed, purebreds and certain mixes. It is not my goal to make money off it, but good, really good dogs are hard to find. I got stories that would put hair on your HEART, curl it and take off in one fell swoop.
People cause this shit, and not only can't we do what is needed for ourselves we can't seem to do what is needed for animals either. Spaying and neutering is something that should be done to humans as well. People are not realistic, and that is a crime when you practice to live in reality.
When you go to a pet store any animal will choose you to get the hell out of there, but if you go to a breeder's house and one of the puppies comes up to you, and won't leave you alone, you take that one because that one is your's. Forget the other ones with prettier markings.
If you don't think like that you have no business having a pet.
All of our cats chose us when I was a kid. I don't keep animals now because I want them at their full potential and I don't have the time to teach them properly. I have seen and known dogs, which I helped to train, who learned their left from their right. That one did not even know he was a dog. He did know who was in charge.
I want to call the farm. They had a dog that helped keep the cows in line, I wonder how they trained him/her. This dog had a totally free life. There were places to go in the cold, always food, but the dog never once set foot in the house.
People get cats and declaw them to protect their precious furniture. That is abhorrent to me. What if you die and the cat is left to fend on it's own ? YOU HAVE CRIPPLED IT, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ?
Get it ? That is like cutting someone's fingers off. How would YOU like that ? If I took in a cat and it took to tearing up my furniture I would grab it and throw it out the door. It wouldn't go away, and I would let it in the next day, feed it and everything.
Maybe what youse people on this planet don't understand is how much I value freedom. The cat may have gotten lazy under my care, but if discarded, it is back where it started. Outside, go find some birds and hopefully rodents. Get your protein. I would not cripple them though.
I don't know if people will ever understand exactly where I am coming from. The best pets I know of in life have always been free. Leave any time you want. They choose to stay. When you cripple them you take away that choice, and really the only real freedom that exists in the world today.
I can't explain my whole mindset, and attitude in one night, but I hope you got a glimpse. Termy is not your average...........Anything.
