when I joined " myfoxcleveland.com" it was with  the intent to reach out into the world, meet new people, hear what they had to say, make new friends. try and make a difference in the world for the better. It was never my intent to offend , hurt, or upset others.

with the article on the teens & tiger, I was wrong to say "  to bad the other 2 made it out a live" that was very un-Christ like. of me.I wrote this blog in anger, something else I did wrong.( Ecclesiates 5:6 & Ephesians 4:26). so for those of you I wronged, offended or hurt ..I am sorry. Allow me to say how this came about... I  am a member of the Humane Society & ASPCA. I had just read an article  about an animal sanctuary in Africa where the rangers had been keeping safe 4 black female rinos , one was about to give birth any day now. the rancgers had cut off the horns of the rinos so poatchers would not kill them, the black rino is on the endangered spieces list. In the still of the dark night, the poachers came to the animal sanctuary, where the animals are suppose to be safe, like the zoo, the poachers found the rinos, they saw the prize ( horns) were gone, in anger they slaughtered  all 4 rinos including the one female about to give birth, saddly the baby rino died also in its mothers belly the rangers tried to save the baby but it was to late. Later on I heard a story here in the good ole' U.S.A. that a big rig was carring  a large group of YOUNG DRAFT horses to slaughter. These horses , young , were healthy , draft horses do not sale cheaply. Being young, healthy, expensive, they were being slaughtered to sale to Europe for human cunsumption. I've seen the video how these horses are cramped into trucks, reminds me how Hitler packed Jews into train cars,( also going to slaughter). I have Jewish blood line so don't give me a hard time on this, I hate Hitler & Natzi's) the horses suffer just the same as the Jews did, no air,  it's hot, no water, afraid...so on. Then I saw how they slaughter them, they stab the horse repeatly til they hit the right spot in the neck to paralize it, then it is dragged & hooked up by the back legs , hanging so to have it's neck slashed to bleed slowly to death. well the truck driver did somthing to break the law, I forget what , something about driving, he wrecked the rig,  19 young draft horses died in the accident, it didn't say how the other 60 + fared. Can you imagine their panick, fear,  pain? Then I hear how these teens snuck into the zoo,  & the tiger attacks them ..so on. so with all this on my mind  I  lashed out in anger. This is no excuse. I was in the wrong to feel the way I felt .

" to " betterdays : you said " PETA and people like you make me sick" I take it you mean animal activists, of which I am one. God raises up people, groups to do His will for the good of all, even animals.( have you never read about Balaam & the donkey?, Numbers 22). if you can go back into history , when children were deprived, forced into labor camps, mistreated, so on, someone noticed the injustice of the mistreatment of these children, they spoke against it , did something about it, now we have  Child Labor Laws, Children Service Board, No-Child Left Behind law,  Amber Law, Children Hospitals, on and on because someone dared to stand up against the injustice being heaped on children, they now had a Voice! Congress, Senators do their part to  carry on the laws to continue to protect children as long as we care to raise our voices against the injustice against them. Now, it is the animals turn. They have no voice- except those who dare to stand up against the injust treatment done to them. They too have the breath of God the Creator in them just as man does, the only difference is that God made man in His image. By having the breath of God , we become " a living soul" , even the animals! They too feel fear, trauma, pain, cold , heat exhaustion, sorrow, joy, & they too can sence the scent of death and it's fear. Should not they also be given love and compassion? Read Genesis chapter one very very slowly. Animal activists do not care more about animals than human lives. There is enough people, groups, laws in effect now looking out for the welfare of Humane lives. The animal activists is focussing on the animals who now need the attention and help. Back in the 1800's in a city in Tennessee, a circus had come. As the elephants were being unloaded, a female broke her rank, she was so hungry she had smelled a watermelon and ran to eat it. the animal handler, went after her, beating her with the iron flesh hook, when she could tolerate it no more, she grabbed him with her trunk, threw him. He died. The city council had a meeting how to put this " criminal beast" to her death. they took a heavy chain,latched it around her neck, hooked it up to a very high crank, and proceeded to tow her up to hang her, this would be shear torture, very slow as well. the chain broke, she came crashing to the ground, no doubt breaking some bones, they hauled her back up again, hung her till she died, left her hanging there for weeks, till they could stand the smell of her rotting flesh no more. I guess this was done to teach all the other elephants a lesson! This was most cruel & barbaric , a horriable mistreatment to this poor elephant. No excuse for this act justifies this.

Now I said my peace so you all can understand me a little better. I too have faults, I ask for forgiveness for offending anyone. this is not how  Jesus  wants me to be like, cold hearted. , unkind, unloving, lashing out in anger. Again I admit I acted wrongfully. I will do my up-most to be more kind & thoughtful, while giving my opinion & blogs.

I do still hold to the teens being up to no good & in the wrong.
