Connect The Dots

It is time to connect the dots.  The tragic death of Cecil, the lion is a tragedy for all living things.  So is it a tragedy that our government abuses prisoners (military, criminal, etc.) in Guantanamo, county, state and federal jails.  It is tragic people are abused in the workplace, in their relationships, in poverty, without access to health care,  in life.  It is also tragic that animals are abused in slaughterhouses, that the bison living in and around Yellowstone are hazed and murdered by out government, there are also animals living in inhumane conditions.



No, this didn't just happen to Cecil.  But it can end with Cecil.  All it takes is raising one's level of consciousness.  Believing that living things, different than you, have a right to live as way.  Worship differently, marry differently, behave differently.  People still belief Jews, blacks, Muslim, etc. are less than whole. More people have died in the name of religion than any other cause.

These same ideologies caused the Crusades, atrocities all over the planet.  It is a me versus them.  It doesn't work.  It never has.

Living things have pecking order. Until we begin to regard life as sacred, these tragic deaths will continue.  Let's honor living things in the name of Cecil.  This isn't just a JUMP ON THE Facebook BANDWAGON situation.

It is about connecting the dots.
