Random Acts Of Gezzabell: The Blog

I was on deviantart browing when I came across this picture. Underneath, here is what the artist wrote:

i know i promised to draw something fun after i returned from China but certain events that i have experienced there and some other things have been bugging me. while i was in China, the local news reported a county near where i was staying were killing all the dogs. why u ask? well because 3 dogs got rabies, each bit a person which caused their deaths so in return the humans there decided to kill ALL the dogs, that’s 50,000 innocent lives lost because the gov. is too lazy to hired some ppl to give the dogs shoots, so they just told the locals to beat all the dogs to death with sticks. thus one must wonder WTF is wrong with those idiotic ppl? to help prevent this unreasonable slaughter, please go to [link] and sign the peptition. that was one reson, another is that recently i have been arguing with a group guys on online over a video of a guy killing a mantis (which can be viewed here [link] ) i commented on the video expressing my displeasure and in return, someone replied that its okay to kill since they killed it for pleasure. to disregard life for the sake of pleasure, it angered me in a way that’s hard to ignore. then other guys joined in on the arguement all saying stuff like (not in exact words) “its only a bug and it died for our pleasure so died a meaningful death” and “humans are better than animals, so we can kill them how we like” many of the ppl arguing there agreed with that and only two person (including me) strongly opposed of what they said. if i base my judgement on the comments of that video, then i have to say that the majority of humans are extremely selfish, but won’t be fair because most ppl don’t even know about it. so i’m imploring u all to tell how u feel about such things. if u agree with what those guys said, then tell me why? and if u oppose killing for pleasure, then will u please comment on that video and try to convince those ppl to stop doing such thing?

now for the meaning the picture itself. there are some ppl out there that like to wear fur coats or hang a trophy head on the wall and for those reasons they would kill a living being. their reaoning are usually because “humans are better than animals”. though the way i c it, animals only kill others for survival, but humans on the other hand kills not only animals but also other humans for pleasure and other selfish reasons so what part of humans are actually better? thus its very ironic how some ppl would proclaim themselves better. now in my drawing, the person (which is not male nor female though it likes like a girl) killed the egret for its wings to look like angel ( like how ppl kill animals for their fur to look rich) angels are usually viewed as sometihng good, just as humans usually view themselves as “creatures that are above those heartless beasts” but in reality we are only decieving ourselves. the person killed the egret yet she/he tried to make her/himself look like an angel with the stolens of the dead bird. i know not all humans are like that, but we are humans and we like to think good of ourselves. perhaps denial has blinded us from certain truth. more often than we’d like to admit, we rather look the other way when we see ppl doing things that are dubbed inhumane. but that’s not solving anything, we may not be the ones who are doing those things but by doing nothing, we are helping them. i drew this picture in hopes of convincing those who kill or harm others for unreasonable purposes to stop and for those for does nothing to help and take action.

I couldn’t have put things better myself. One day, maybe we’ll realize our true nature. On that day, I will be truly happy. Now, off to do maths homework. (Note-tastic note: I do not own the rights to this picture. It’s copyright to yuumei, the artist.)
