Why are there so many sick people in the world? I'm referring to those who get joy out of animal suffering. I have seen videos on YouTube, MySpace and other sites where people post cute animal videos, and people have to make rude comments. Today, I saw a horrible video--wouldn't have watched it, but I just had to see what I knew would be there, the rude comments, but I watched the video in order to be able to judge it--where a pelican eats a pigeon. Yes, pigeons eat fish, a kind of meat, and I'm not angry at the pelican or the person who filmed it, but I just feel terrible for the pigeon, thinking of the terror it felt and the suffering it endured. But as I said, sure enough, there were people who thought it was cool and funny, and I feel so sick when people take pleasure in an animal's suffering. I just needed to vent, and this is a good place to vent about this sort of thing.
