Humanity at it's worst

By
Very little pisses me off as much as cruelty to animals, especially animals that share a symbiotic and trusting relationship with humanity. Unfortunately, we see a lot of this sort of behavior whether it comes in the form of puppy mills, beatings, skinnings or, in the story of Gandolph the Spitz.

Blinded and then left to roam the streets at only a few months old. Was this the work of someoen losing their home and setting the dog free as opposed to taking it to a shelter? Is the the work of kids or derelicts who found a puppy who had escaped from it's home or fenced yard? Is this the work of meth-heads and tweakers who found a puppy and thought it would be fun to torture it? Or maybe they're deranged people or a person  who desperately wants to work in "enhanced interrogation" at Gitmo and this is his/their portfolio. Unfortunately, we don't know. It could very easily be any of the above.

Gandolph recently had surgery to remove his damaged eyes



Let's all remember Gandolph and hope he finds a good forever home with a family that will treat him with kindness that not only balances the scales but tips them towards the light.

I really do believe -- and want to continue believing -- that humanity isn't as bad as we pretend to be.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
