Rescue: Buck’s story

Buck was about six weeks old, covered in fleas, with fireworks tied to him and he’d been given poison. He was on the road when found by a kindly worker. 

The worker wrapped the puppy in a blanket and brought him home (he was going to look for someone to adopt him). A roommate took one look at him and wanted to keep him. The puppy was in really bad shape. He also had Parvo and the medical exam found that he’d been beaten.

Eight years later, Buck is reported to be the sweetest and most even tempered dog — ever known by his owners.

This is a story that plays over just about every day. Animals in need of rescue are plentiful.

Here is a short video debate on animal rights:

Still think checking those product labels for palm oil is too much of a hassle!?

These are nearly extinct Sumatran elephants we’re talking here. And the palm oil plantations don’t give a shit.

The sheer evil of palm oil greed knows no bounds. This is soul-breaking and heart-wrenching.

I hate the perpetrators. I do not give a shit what their reasons are, whether it’s poverty, crop preservation, self-defense, or something else. There’s no good reason for this. This is a crime against simply being a living entity on this planet all of us creatures share.

Mongabay, because it’s a top notch environmental journalism site, has to be objective by inserting the word “allegedly” into the story. However, I have no such requirement. I have the luxury of pointing fingers and being accusatory. Fuck palm oil plantations.
