In Bloom
Same bud. Glad your buddy straightened this guy out. Animals struggling to survive especially tug on my strings. That pit was innocent, deserved way better treatment and the ability to enjoy its life.Yeah, once you realize a bullet is 2 bucks it's hard to look the other way. I remember one time, I was in the hood on the east side of Detroit, and there was a stray Cat walking around the "spot" and I was outside talking to a couple friends of mine, and I saw an employee there, kick the Cat...
I imagine the look on my face was pretty interesting, because my buddy saw my face and was like "uh oh..." and he walked up and grabbed that dude, and made him feed his lunch to the Cat, and gave him a "talking to" about how that wouldn't be happening ever again.
Someone abusing a living thing sets me off in ways I'm not proud of.
In a much worse area a few years back (deep city) I had a friend who lived near a street where pit fights happened nightly. I recall a 12 year old kid trying to sell me a brown paper bag stuffed with heavy revolvers for 40$ on the same street.
This area has its pockets of good, but not worth any more of my life. My rescued feral and I are gone shortly, and past some finalizing next week I am never coming back. I’d expect if I did, I’d end up dead or in the clink.
