I just went to get my haircut and there was horse racing on the flat screens all around me (which upset me)but it was ok bc the hair dresser and I got in a discussion about the horse’s treatment, and how many die while racing and from other abuses. At first she wanted to deny that many race horses aren’t treated well and using them for entertainment isn’t why horses are here. She seemed very disconnected to animals even though she said her family raised horses and treated them well. Then a commercial came on for cheese and showed all these happy cows grazing and I told her that’s not how most dairy cows live. I asked her if she knew about factory farming and she told me she really didn’t want to know the ugly truth bc she liked to eat and didn’t want to feel guilty. I told her that vegan cheese is delicious and so is nut milk. I’m glad I could plant a seed but why does it have to be so hard to get ppl to think of animals as deserving and precious in their own right? Even before I went vegan, I had the utmost love for animals. Ppl are just so stuck in their ways of seeing things. Trying to open someone’s mind is so f’n exhausting bc ppl hate change and think if they ignore the truth, they can live happily ever after.

Don't get me wrong, but I am getting annoyed with seeing all the multiple celebrities and famous actors mansions that have burnt down. It's sad regardless the size of the house or the money. Some have the money to buy a another place with no problems or another car. Some will sit and cry trying to figure out how they are going to pay rent, deposit, electricity and water deposit because their place of employment is gone and so is their house. I have lost everything and had to start over it's sad when people have to deal with that. What about the people that live paycheck to paycheck and barely scraping by, it's not that all the middle and lower class people spared from the fire and only the rich and famous affected. The struggling families are the ones my heart goes out to most! When I keep seeing this I keep thinking about the TN and NC people that lost everything in the floods and they are still struggling to survive, too. The rich people legit have the money to bruise what they want. Miley Cyrus and Michael Keaton to name a few.
