Confuzzled and Stop With The HATE
16 years ago
What about the world today? What about the place that we call home?
I'm not really a furry, just to admit that. I'm more confused about this 'furry' thing really. I may say I am, bit I'm really not. Damn it! I'm so confused...... I know I don't make any sense at all, that's because I'm in a lower mood at the moment so I'm also confusing myself. right now I'm upset about a lot of things. My own life, people not caring for the environment etc.
Anyway, this was brought over from my Deviant Art account.
Seriously, there are a percentage of people out there who hate environmentalists and animal rights activists(I'm not a part of PETA). What the hell did I ever do to them? Nothing. What is so wrong about wanting to protect the environment? Or protecting other creatures? Some think that self-proclaimed environmentalists(like me) are bad. Am I a bad person? Seriously, I am NOT an extremist, I don't hate other humans( I just hate what some of us have done to the planet and its creatures). Though, I have had none of this hate directed directly at me(thank goodness) but some of the things people have said towards environmentalists I've found insulting. I am not a tree hugger or a hippie, damn you! I know there are extremists in both environmental groups and animal rights groups. But that is not the majority. Not everyone is an extremist.
It makes me cry that I'm indirectly being called something I'm not. It hurts. It really does. So please, before accusing someone, look at the facts.
Though I do admit that I watch in glee as a oil company is charged/sued for environmental damage or the death of a human or other animal. Thing is, I don't like them. I don't like the housing industry either(ahem, urban sprawl anyone?) Half the time these people don't care about habitat loss. Where are the animals that just lost their homes going to live? Hmm? Answer that. People, please stop encroaching on other animals' habitats.
Really, why wouldn't I be upset?
