Wonderful warmth, however fleeting
Nice morning session at the climbing gym with a friend; she and I are trying to get stronger, and occasionally hit a high point. I faced an unmarked lead route, and managed to make all the moves to the top, albeit with some hanging about. It might have been the hardest one I've tried in months. Oddly, I felt no fear, just the pleasant puzzlement involved in solving a problem.
Nice sunny walk with the mater; later the skies became bruised-looking, and half gloriously blue. Finished the book about the people setting up refuges to give lab-abused chimpanzees places to live out their often considerable remaining years in some kind of pleaant surroundings; reading about the nauseating conditions "scientists" have kept them in and the sometimes pointless testing, I was left wanting to lock up these so-called men of science in steel cages. Apes are not always a match for human disease response, so why not use the abusers for the experimentation? There are so many hideous humans in the world who could be test subjects. Then they'd have a shot at offering something to mankind.

I can't read anything about how we humans treat animals. It's absolutely heartless and soul-crushing stuff. What we do to animals is an outrage. It makes understand the frustrated actions of Earth First and PETA.
True, Robin A. But something is bizarrely hilarious about PETA's protests, as in they're using attractive young women drenched in fake blood lying around like slaughtered minks; or the Super Bowl ads they had made which were rejected, which had attractive young women rubbing vegetables on their bodies suggestively...there are some feminists up in arms about them, over at Shakespeare's Sister in particular.
Ultimately, so many animals are powerless against human abuses. Time to make humans pay up.
