I got pissed watching this. Not because the horses are being slaughtered, but because the reactions of the people who watch it and make it like it's a huge deal. Why don't people get this upset over cows or pigs being slaughtered?Many comments state that horses are too beautiful to be slaughtered. Well, that's tough. Try telling that to a cheetah or some other predator animal.
Another comment states something like "it's sickening what people do for food". Ever see what killer whales do? They toss their pray around before they eat it. Or perhaps a pride of lions eating a zebra alive.
Just because something is "beautiful" in our eyes doesn't mean that it will live forever or won't be eaten. That's life.
For any wondering or thinking that I'm cold hearted, I very much hate the idea of real fur coats. An animal does not deserve to be killed simply for fashion.
edit - It seems most of my views on fur farming were wrong. In fact, fur farmers seem to take very good care of the animals, one reason being that if they didn't then the fur would be dull and the farmer wouldn't get much profit from it. See more here. I still wouldn't wear a full fur coat, however.. they seem to require a lot of care which would probably be quite expensive. 0 Comments - Post/view comments

I'm pretty tired but I have something on my mind I want to type out..I suck at taking criticism. I'll ask for peoples' honest opinions and constructive criticism and respond in a thankful way, but really I end up feeling stupid most of the time. Whether it's criticism on how I look, how my drawing is, how good my idea is.. if it's negative in any way I almost always end up feeling dumb. I hate it. Yet, I'm more than happy to say what I really think to someone I barely know, without so much as a second thought on how they'd feel, especially if I don't like the person to begin with. Uhg.. and I know this is something I'm going to have to deal with when I finally go out into the real world. Some people will hate you, some will love you.. but in the end all that really matters is what you think of yourself.
Anyway, here are some more goofy quizzes.
| What Your Halloween Habits Say About You |
 A bit of an introvert, you like the special occasions just as much as everyone else. You just have your own unique way of celebrating Halloween. Sneaky and devious, people should really watch out for you. You are usually underestimated and forgotten. Your inner child is full of wonder and very sweet. You fear those closest to you finding out who you really are. You dread people discovering your secrets. You're logical, rational, and not easily effected. Not a lot scares you... especially when it comes to the paranormal. You are picky and high maintenance. If you wear a Halloween costume, it's only when you really feel like it. And it has to be perfect. |
| You Are a Werewolf |
 You're unpredictable, moody, and downright freaky. You seem sweet and harmless, until you snap. Then you're a total monster. Very few people can predict if you're going to be Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde. But for you, all your transformations seem perfectly natural. Your greatest power: Your ability to tap into nature Your greatest weakness: Lack of self control You play well with: Vampires |
