From a Cattledog's post last year

Nearly 200 dogs a day are currently being slaughtered and consumed in Bali, BAWA estimates. That’s around 70,000 a year.

The practice of consuming dog meat is not a long-held Balinese tradition, but was brought to the island by minorities who came to work in the hospitality industry in the 1970s.

Along the beaches in South Bali, unsuspecting tourists may also unknowingly purchase dog sate, as sellers may simply pass them off as chicken sate in a bid to make profits.

Replied:
All western tourists should boycott Bali until this heartbreaking, cruel practice is stopped.

They even beat the poor dogs before killing them, thinking that would improve the flavor of the dog meat!! 😠😠

Tourism makes up 80% of the economy, so if people boycott this horrific practice, it will STOP.


🚨 Do Not Go to Bali. 🚨

They're "flying foxes" or fruit bats

Vegetarians.

Wiki:
Pteropus is a genus of megabats which are among the largest bats in the world. They are commonly known as fruit bats or flying foxes, among other colloquial names.
They live in the tropics and subtropics of Asia, Australia,* East Africa, and some oceanic islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.*

Scientific name: Pteropus
Higher classification: Old World fruit bats
Class: Mammalia
Mass: Large flying fox: 2.1 lbs
Length: Grey-headed flying fox: 11 in., Black flying fox: 10 in., Great flying fox: 11 in.



❤ most all bats (exception being the Vampire bats of Central and South America).
The insects eating ones keep our neighborhood mosquito problem down and folks here build "bat houses" for them.

On edit: I first thought this lady was in the UK but she's an Aussie in Australia! Love her sweet voice.

"'The Rum Tum Tugger' from Cats

John Partridge cracked me up, he was such a hoot!

We went to see Cats when my son was around 10 (23yrs ago). We all loved it.

The play had some really emotionally moving scenes in the last act, at least for me - when the old cat faced her mortality.

Have you seen it? Or the 2019 version? Both are excellent but in different ways.

Oh damn! So sorry.

I contract some unknown virus back in the 70s that left me with CFIDS. (Crushing fatigue, brain fog, a temperature regulation problem, drenching night sweats, and an immune dysfunction.) And I thought I had it bad.

Hope your problems diminish over time, as mine seem to have - after decades.

What really sucks is that assholes thought I was faking it. Unless you live in the midst of RW assholes, that won't happen to you.

Good luck!

Yep. "AOC: 'In any other country, Joe Biden and I would

''In any other country, Joe Biden and I would not be in the same party.''

And she labeled House Democrats' centrist wing "the tea party of the left."

Ouch!


But my son thinks she should make a run for the WH in a few yrs!

Who's going to enforce compliance?

Just asking because these are Republicans who have ignored court orders before.

I do not trust these treasonous assholes at all.

neosporin put me in ER

I was in anaphylactic shock & swelling badly & looking so weird that people were staring as I was wheeled back into an examining room. They had to IV'd me to get it stopped.

One of the weirdest things that has ever happened to me in my life. Trust me, I have a doozie of a list of things.
