Pro-Death Sarah Palin

Have you seen the photo of cold-hearted Sarah Palin and her little daughter squatting, their knees rubbing against the back of an innocent
gunned-down bloody moose?
His body is prone, his head is raised, his mouth is open, bellowing out    pain and horror as his eyes recede into his head the moment before his death.

Imagine how excruciating and painful his cry would be for you, if you   were the one squatting down next to him. But, obviously not for  Palin whose only concern was for the camera.

Pity that America is full of women who, unlike Palin, can’t bear to see any human or non-human animal suffer, yet,  like Sarah, cover up their low self-esteem with acts of bravado to compete with men.

Tragic for the whole planet that our country is still over-populated with a
noisy majority of castrated men and women buying into the lie that a liberated woman is one who has learned like a man to brutally ignore, and even inflict pain and suffering onto others whenever they can get away with it.

The Dominion of Mathew Scully and Sarah Palin

How sad that Mathew Scully, a vegan, animal advocate, and author of
Dominion, is now writing for Sarah Palin. He must appreciate
publicity and money much more than a clear conscience.

Anyone who believes he is doing it in hopes of influencing Palin to cease
hunting, keep the polar bears on the endangered list (she worked hard
to have them removed), and open her heart to end her practice of cruelty
to animals is naive beyond any possibility of a positive outcome.

To be so naive in this case is a form of denial that can only have a negative
impact on animals, and on the environment.

Horse Power

Recently, I communicated with an aspiring endurance horse who refused to endure his female human on his back. For privacy sake, let’s call him George, and her, Susan.

Aside from my sensing that that his lower spine hurt and shot pain out to the top of his left haunch, George said that he did not want  Susan on his back, period.

During the phone session with Susan, I sensed that she also had pain in her lower back and top of her left hip. I asked her if this was true. She said, yes.

I told her that George was a great gift for her in that he wanted only a confident human on his back. He had enough fear of his own. He did not want to take on hers as well.

Susan’s passion to ride George combined with his nasty attitude toward her, forced her to reckon with her feelings of insecurity, a possible psychosomatic cause of her lower back pain.

Neither horse nor human felt safe with the other in the case of George and Susan.

Usually, when a horse is as headstrong as George, our habit is to use various methods to subdue his self-expression. Fortunately for this particular horse, his human respected his needs as being as important as her own.

George’s refusal to enable Susan in her fear by letting her ride was a powerful asset for her. It could easily have been regarded as a major detriment had she not been interested in his total well-being, and inher own.

After several chiropractic adjustments for George, and Susan’s new routine of deep-breathing through her fear, and her commitment to positive self-talk, you can now see them riding together into the sunrise almost any cool California morning.

If it had not been for this particular horse’s power in affecting his human, Susan would not be riding in her own power now. They would both still be stuck at the stable frustrated with one another and their back aches.

Like all of our pet companions, horses have unique strengths that we are just now beginning to acknowledge.

Horse power, or any pet power, when recognized and appreciated by us, not only enriches the lives of our animals, it can strengthen us in amazing ways.
