And Genesis, Exodus, and all the books “of Moses” were written over by the later monotheist Jewish scribes eliminating the old polytheism of the Jews. But bits were missed, like “Elohim”, which is plural.
China is also participating in animal head transplants, removing the heads of mice and transplanting them on other mice. They all die in agony, like the monkeys who have their heads transplanted in experiments aimed at human immortality.
Rich Japanese and tourists in Japan eat fish alive on their plates. They pay a lot to have the fish writhing in pain.
Today in Africa poachers poison the carcasses of animals they shoot, so that other animals who approach are poisoned and also die.
In the US cyanide bombs are used to exterminate whole families of wolves. It is also now permitted to kill bears and cubs whilst they hibernate.Poachers murdered George Adamson in Kenya, and bombed Richard Leakey, who lost both his legs.
Trophy hunting is again popular and legal.
And to destroy the native people, the US exterminated millions of bison, on which the people depended. The whites machine-gunned bison and left the bodies to rot.
And scalping was encouraged as it proved you had killed “injuns.” Scalps were exchanged for cash.Pigs too, the most abused of all animals, have saved their carers’ lives, from drowning by swimming out, and also by getting help from neighbours.
Lions have saved humans. Dolphins have been doing it since the dawn of history.
Dogs will give their lives for us.
Octopuses love to play games with us. All these animals remember humans who were kind to them years later.
” I was beaten up in this forum because I said it is just a bourgeois movement, and I will say it here and in the grave.”
I think there are some members still fossilised in the mid-20th century, whose only world is Marxian economics. Even though they are socialists, they remain daubed unwittingly with “flat-cap” leftist prejudice. Which is why they snort, for instance, at progressive views on other fellow animals, new insights, etc.
Many pay lip-service to William Morris and Shelley, but were they to personally meet them, or have them turn up from the grave on this forum, they would lambast them as bourgeois dilettantes.
Exxon Mobil wants to drive harbour porpoises, the little mini whales, from their North Sea home.
The oil giant’s plan is to blast the ocean floor with sound cannons—for three months, nonstop, to build a carbon capture and storage site.
But the porpoises are already under massive stress from noise pollution. (Source: eko.org)
Remember when children not only had real books, but real toys to play with, real games (I don’t mean organised sports), real friendships etc? An active and inquisitive life and hence real growth of personality and optimism. Even under capitalism, we had hope and things were real. Objects were held. Children sat in bookshops and libraries, turning the pages of books. We went to toyshops and chose toys which exercised hands and brains. I don’t remember anyone just shrugging at everything around them and grumbling “Whatever!”
We were taught history and were close to it. Opening a book we were part of it. We made things, drew, coloured, worked with scissors, glue and cardboard.
But you’ll just say, “Who needs those things when we’ve got virtual?” And that helps the capitalists take away even those things we DID have, even though we were proles.
