@triciact What a story you told us. I can't imagine how traumatized that experience must have been for you. Pigs are highly intelligent animals. I cannot imagine what they go through at slaughter houses.  They must know what is coming. As for poultry, if people must eat chicken or eggs, they can at least only buy from farms that a raise these animals humanely. Whole foods has a ranking system that you can use if you buy there. There are also local consortiums around the country that contract with small local farms that raise their livestock humanely.  In New England we have Waldon Meats.

Speaking of videos or in this case, animal antics that help us get through hard times, I really enjoyed this set of photos of baby bears trending on recent social media outlets.

They really do look like they're either dancing or playing "Ring around a rosy".

When twilight falls, the aurora borealis will cut off cell phones, scramble the Internet. We'll play flashlight tag, hide and seek...

Tomorrow

there will be sun, scalloped by clouds, ushered in by a waterfall of birdsong. It will be a temperate seventy-five, low humidity.  For twenty-four hours all politicians will be silent. Reality programs will vanish from TB, replaced by the snow that used to decorate our screens when reception wasn't working. Soldiers will toss their weapons in the grass.  The oceans will stop their inexorable rise. No one will have to sit on a committee. When twilight falls, the aurora borealis will cut off cell phones, scramble the Internet. We'll play flashlight tag, hide and seek, decorate our hair with fireflies, spin until we're dizzy, collapse on the dew-decked lawns and look up, perhaps for the first time, to read the long lines of cold code written in the stars...

Tomorrow By Barbara Cooker from Some Glad Morning
