I'm writing today because I have seen this video of racing pigeons that is circulating on social media including the same caption repeatedly;
"A rich girl buys all the birds in an Austrian zoo to set them Free"
It is almost shocking how people flock to comment, like and share this outright stupidity. I can not keep up with the debunking of this stuff. I try to shed some light on the truth but these types of post are flooding the Internet and I am only one person.
I invite anyone to please help me in battling this disorder that I call, "Shit For Brains". I will not apologize for that because if anyone has enough sense to create a social media account, log in everyday and click buttons then they should have just enough sense (at least) to read the educated comments. Although I can not give them enough credit to be able to research anything, but damn!
Recently, Ive noticed these Facebook pages that are popping up through my news feed, titled: Wildlife Pictures or Nature's Beauty and the like. I do not know where they originate or who administers them (I wish I did), but they constantly use these images and videos as click bait. They have absolutely no validity in which they are posted. These people will add nonsense content in describing what they post. They are simply and undeniably working to attract clicks, likes and shares in order to promote. The worst part of it is how people fall right into it, proving how stupid they are! It really pisses me off! They are the best source in spreading this trash and in doing so making a mockery out of everything. Here we have only one of many documentaries that embellish the beauty of the tradition of farming these birds for sport. I, personally believe it's cruel and unusual and should be stopped. I will never deny that I love animals more than I love people and this video along with countless others is a good example as to why that is.
This video is a documentary from PETA's perspective. I have not watched it in it's entirety as I, am extremely empathetic and suffer whenever I see an animal suffering. Although I can imagine enough to warn viewers that it is most likely GRAPHIC so you may not want to watch. However if you would like to involve yourself in the campaign to stop this kind of thing, then this video may be a good place to start. WARNING MAY CONTAIN GRAPHIC IMAGERY!!
