"Joyful Curmudgeon" An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful. At the same
time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the world, and feel
called to help expose and end it so that we may have true peace and compassion.
“In nature, pigs avoid filth and will trek and root over 9 miles during a
24-hour period. Yet factory internment brings a breeding sow cold, strawless
floors, noxious filth, deafening noise, and immobilizing space barely larger
than her own body. This highly intelligent creature will be driven insane as
she endures repeated pregnancies via artificial insemination [painful
rapes]. Her body will be pinned in place to expose her teats to her piglets.
When her productive capacity wanes, she will be sent to slaughter.”
