This is not ok and it needs to stop

Hmm I can give you many reasons as to why I decided to read the story, and put you on the spot, since you try to use a cheap shot as to saying What was the point of reading this. It's like people in youtube saying why did you even need to view this video, and make a comment that doesn't pleases you personally. As you obviously didn't try to capture what I was saying. I love animals from the bottom of my heart, I read these stories because it reminds me that the world, is broken and it's like people try to fix the broken world with compliments and duct tape. I also have stated that there are exceptions. I know people who have rescued animals from animal cruelty, it brights my day whenever I hear those stories. I see you're calling me a defeatist? It's funny because I am pretty sure that you're the same as I. Answer me this; Are YOU one those people who go and help? Continue....>

Not in the petty way were you would say stop don't do it if you see it happen or are you the brave soul who would use force to stop the brutality that your eyes are witnessing because I would do it, yes I will mostly likely fail but if someone or something is being hurt and they have no reason for their sadistic partner/owner I would stand back up because those are things that fucking piss me of. You ask if I want a lie or truth? Of fucking course I want the truth I don't want to be blinded by fake smiles. Did I answer your question? If not please do say.

It wasn't a cheap shot. I rephrased the same question that you did to the person who posed this. You put the person who posted this on the spot. I pointed out that this is your view point. You obviously didn't try to capture what I was saying. That was a defeatist over generalization. True to this website.....lazy, avoiding danger (with exemptions). Thinking that we are all the same, that we will do nothing (hence, nothing will change) is a defeatist outlook. That's basically saying, oh well, things really bother me, but I'm not going to do anything about it and neither are you. How could you possibly think we are the same when you know nothing about me or my life? It's not that I don't get what you're saying, but we have two different perceptions. And yes, I am one of those people who does what I can, when I can, with what I have. Why else would I be passionate about it? Apathy does not breed passion.

I think the second part of you comment is what the post is supposed to do. No, we can't run out into the world and fix everything. But how many people witness things and say or do nothing. That is what awareness of this can do, that's why they get posted. Maybe someone will see/hear something, thing of this, and do something. I asked you the same question you put out there. You asked if we want lies or truth. Jeeze, and I agree with you on that.

How could you possibly think we are the same when you know nothing about me or my life? Well it's called being prejudice, everyone does it but if you deny you're a hypocrite in the topic, that's how we survive. Anyways when you said "This is what awareness of this can do" and "Maybe someone will see/hear something,thing of this, and do something" it intrigued me. Someone who has no knowledge of their burn in their backs (burn = truth, back=you) shouldn't completely trust what you see in the Internet, I hence you're smarter than to believe everything you see. I'm going to finish this conversation with this example I'm relatively using. If a woman put make on and resemble the look of a beat-up woman and specifically blamed a man/woman who hasn't done anything to her of physically abusing her, it would indeed cause awareness and people who automatically "hate" that person out of assumption and no knowledge of anything true. (Casey Anthony is a good example)

Ehh I could've done better with my example, but anyways what I'm trying to say is don't really believe anything you see or hear. ALSO the key word that can bring you down is when you said "MAYBE". Case closed. We can go on and on and on, but I rather not waste your time. Stay thirsty random human being.

No, prejudice and separation are ingredients in destruction, not survival, and certainly not how people thrive. The world is chock full of prejudice and that doesn't seem to be working so well. I think the word you were looking for is assumption, not prejudice. The only way to know for sure if this story is true is to contact the Levin family. But that's not the point, and I didn't realize it was yours either. I must've missed that. Maybe that should've been the original statement made to the person who uploaded this. I had no idea you knew Casey Anthony personally to have such insight and knowledge into the truth of what actually happened, instead of hearing (assuming) about it from the media and internet like the rest of us, since you know....you can't believe everything you hear and read.

I could've saved myself the above effort had I read your new post first. This conversation has been interesting, and now I'm drained. I don't care to waste your time either. You stay thirsty as well...and passionate....and truth seeking. :) Good day to you. And damit, go save a dog or some shit. JK

The answer to that is obvious. Why do we need to pick one over the other? We can't have care and compassion for everything that suffers....since within every genre of life there is suffering? If this was a post about a child, should we get angry that no one talks about all of the animals?

I'm glad you're giving logical answers instead of calling me an idiot. I'm not saying that we should pick one over the other, I'm only implying that We should focus on both.

It's important to discuss things that matter, and I would never call someone an idiot for doing that :) I agree that we should. There is an immense list of things that need to change in this world. All that we can do is start with ourselves, and then do what we can with what we have, where we're at. No one is coming to fix this mess. It starts with all of us.

Animals are dying. They should both be brought to attention, which already has happened. People are too busy to give a crap about them both, with their phones that waste money and trying to be cool. If people were cool they would help to save both humans and animals.

This is like asking how I can love both daughters at the same time. My ability to love/care/sympathize/empathize/etc is not finite.
