I was going to put a video of some strayed dog dying of hunger in an art gallery of Managua (it was actually one of the pieces, and it died a day after the inauguration) but then I found this youtube clip of a marine in Iraq throwing a puppy as if it was a hand grenade, and still then I found these footage taken by members of PETA in China of dogs and cats being collected, treated worse than US cattle, and then killed for their fur, but finally I decided to save you from seeing all of this and instead put a piece of the Bible here (Ecclesiastes I) that has nothing to do with it all, so recite with me:
The words of the Teacher, [a] son of David, king in Jerusalem:
"Meaningless! Meaningless!"
says the Teacher.
"Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless."
What does man gain from all his labor
at which he toils under the sun?
Generations come and generations go,
but the earth remains forever.
The sun rises and the sun sets,
and hurries back to where it rises.
The wind blows to the south
and turns to the north;
round and round it goes,
ever returning on its course.
All streams flow into the sea,
yet the sea is never full.
To the place the streams come from,
there they return again.
All things are wearisome,
more than one can say.
The eye never has enough of seeing,
nor the ear its fill of hearing.
What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
Is there anything of which one can say,
"Look! This is something new"?
It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.
There is no remembrance of men of old,
and even those who are yet to come
will not be remembered
by those who follow.
