On a gray day like the ones that exist in these terrible winter days (in a nearby town the temperature has reached -30 degrees Celsius) and we are in Italy and a winter so cold has never been seen before and there is little gas and it costs too much and wood and other fuels have a much higher price, and I wake up in the morning and I look at the sparrows singing and they only have a bush to take refuge in and I don't know if many of them are dying and I put seeds and I think the choice is up to us. We are the ones who have to help others, we are the ones who can donate, love, food, shelter, to people and animals. I believe that God wants this, I believe that God wants us all to pray but also to do something important. So I go out and try to bring a smile, even if I'm sick inside me, because I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks, but I don't want anything to stop me from doing good. And so I hope you do too. Peace and serenity to you all.
We need to be consistent. If you say you are an animalist then you don't buy leather shoes, leather bags and leather sofas. You will also not buy cars with leather seats and any other objects or clothes made of real leather. If you say you are animal rights then you will not spend your afternoons at the mall but you will go to animal shelters to dare a hand. You will be interested in signing petitions against violence against animals, you want to experiment with them. And above all, you will not use any make-up or beauty products that have been tested on animals.
I tell you these things because here we love cats and dogs, we all love to post beautiful pictures of animals and say that we are animal rights, but then in reality we all have to do something for the animals. So if you haven't done it yet, start organizing yourself and go to kennels or catteries, bring food, blankets, and above all affection. Try to fight and be present in anti-vivisection campaigns, against violence against animals, and against intensive farming. An animal rights person cares about all animals and not just cats and dogs and is interested in everything related to the animal world. So I would like all those who say they love animals then put out at least a bowl with water (which are used for both stray cats and hedgehogs) and treats, food for sparrows, who adopt an animal, not bought, and looked at all the ads in which so many people give animals, that if they are not taken maybe they will be abandoned. So I'd like you to reflect on how many things you can do to show your love for animals because animals aren't just cats and dogs. Especially if there is someone among you who has land, and has no nuisance neighbors, then he can adopt dwarf goats, geese, rabbits and all those animals that many people give away in the ads. Create support groups on Telegram, create rescue groups, spread the word but try to help animals, if you have enough money and personal resources, because in this period many people no longer have a job and give animals away. Search ads in your area, ask associations, get busy, show your true love for all animals.
Please, when you take a new pet with you, or create a group or initiative, post me here in the comments and I will post your link and post it. I hope this post may have inspired you to do more and be more active. I have 2 dogs, 8 chickens, 2 budgies, 6 cats, 1 rabbit, all rescued by people who wanted to abandon them. I've never paid anything for an animal. Now I can't take other animals because the ones I have already require a lot of food and I don't have much money anymore and therefore I can't have others but if you can then do it.
I said goodbye in the end, I counted the petals, the drops of frost, I even counted the clouds. I said goodbye but didn’t leave. It was all still there, leaves, stones, boots, sparrows. I couldn’t nest on a branch, to be human means to build. But I don’t want to build, concrete and tears, and distorted iron. I said goodbye but remained like a thread of heaven, like a stringy mist, like a sovereign bride. Mud and petals, roofs, twigs. The sparrows and I are the same.
