Dogs are not Food

"Eating for me is how you proclaim your beliefs three times a day. That is why all religions have rules about eating. Three times a day, I remind myself that, I value life and do not want to cause pain to or kill other living beings. That is why I eat the way I do..."

The Superstitions of Black Cat

I found him 3 years ago, in the middle of night. He always sitting in front of my door. Stare at me so deeply. I try to touch, but he always run. He look so ugly , thin and many scar around his body. I'm sure he is stray cat, because so wild and not friendly.

I decide to adopt him, when in fact it was he who adopted me :). I give name OMEN. Because he is black and look mysterious. I remember the famous superstitions about black cat which gives bad influence on anyone who adopt. That makes a lot of black cats living in misery get a lot of violence and unwanted.

I try to search the history how this superstition start...

Long long time ago before christianity come, people pray for mother of earth as goddes. The colour of fertilty Mother Earth identify with black colour, deep - dark - first element. Thats why many women priest of mother earth belief wear black. Famous in european with the name druids. So in that age, black cat is sacred animal, manifest the power of earth.

After some period, christianity come. They try to convert all old belief follower. And making propaganda with superstition. Being mother earth, "the life-giving one ", her "home" was the black earth below, That became the HELL for Christianity. And all druid with black dress convicted those black as "black magic" and it got a bad name, as well as the colour black itself. In this period many druids died.

The female druids where mostly accompanied by a cat with the holy black color. And as black was "from the devil", they where burned as witches together with their blak cats, or the cats where thrown from the belfry towers. From that time all the superstition about bad luck for black cat growth.

So i want take it back all good thing about black cat, like many female druids do. Back to the nature belief with more wisdom.

The holy of mother earth , i will be kind with all the creature inside your home, giving my space to them and love them regardless of any condition.

Happy Valentine all :)

"Hope is nothing without the will to do it .."

Once I was a lonely dog, just looking for a home.
I had no place to go, no one to call my own.

I wandered up and down the streets, in rain, in heat and snow.
I ate whatever I could find, I was always on the go.

My skin would itch, my feet were sore, my body ached with pain.
And no one stopped to give a pat or to gently say my name.

I never saw a loving glance, I was always on the run.
For people thought that hurting me was really lots of fun.

And then one day I heard a voice so gentle, kind and sweet.
And arms so soft reached down to me and took me off my feet.

"No one again will hurt you.", was whispered in my ear.
"You'll have a home to call your own where you will know no fear."

"You will be dry, you will be warm, you'll have enough to eat,
And rest assured that when you sleep, your dreams will all be sweet."

I was afraid I must admit, I've lived so long in fear.
I can't remember when I let a human come so near.

And as she tended to my wounds and bathed and brushed my fur
She told me about the rescue group and what it meant to her.

She said, "We are a circle, a line that never ends.
And in the center there is you, protected by new friends."

"And all around you are the ones that check the pounds,
And those that share their home after you've been found.

"And all the other folk are searching near and far,
To find the perfect home for you, where you can be a star."

She said, "There is a family, that's waiting patiently,
And pretty soon we'll find them, just you wait and see."

"And then they'll join our circle, they'll help to make it grow,
So there'll be more room for more like you, who have no place to go."

I waited very patiently, the days they came and went.
Today's the day I thought, my family will be sent.

Then just when I began to think it wasn't meant to be,
There were people standing there just gazing down at me.

I knew them in a heart beat, I could tell they felt it too.
They said, "We have been waiting for a special dog like you."

Now every night I say a prayer to all the gods that be.
"Thank you for the life I live and all you've given me."

"But most of all protect the dogs in the pound and on the street.
And send a special person to lift them off their feet." (Anonymous)

THOU SHALL NOT KILL

Yesterday, a reporter from another division in my office sent me an email. She wanted to interview me about the vegetarian life style. I asked “what for?” She said the international department wants to make a program about vegetarians, so she needed collect information.

Before I agreed, I asked her if I could speak freely, and she said “yes, I can say anything I wish”. This is a positive response to me, because those of us that work in the field of journalism understand that 75% of the interaction is done directly. The capital interests of the owners is their main goal.

Usually I interview people, but today I was interviewed by someone else! It felt a little bit strange, but show must go on!

She gave me 4 questions: 1) why did I decide to be a vegetarian; 2) how difficult is being a vegetarian; 3) what do I receive for being a vegetarian; and 4) how do I feel about being a vegetarian.

The only thing I remember in that time is a quote from a vegetarian:

“Animals cannot speak, but can you and I not speak for them and represent them? Let us all feel their silent cry of agony and let us all help that cry to be heard in the world”.

So let’s make an propaganda now, in front of camera.

Met Lakshmi

Her name is Lakshmi (unlike the name that a symbol of fortune and prosperity in hindusm ), her life is very unpleasant (from my opinion).


When in work, usualy the elephant getting face paint, to make it look spiritual, with a lot of hindusm symbol like aum, vishnu symbol or shiva symbol.

Why? ,In the name of spiritual path, a cute elephant must stay and work everyday from 9 am to 5 pm give a blessing at the temple visitors.


It's the work place.


I think It’s dumb, because from what i see, this is no more like a sad circus. The temple Visitors come, give the money to the elephant trunk than the elephant bless you with a softly touch in your head than you smile happy than four people behind her waiting with a long stick, mean if elephant give a free bless to visitor without giving money she will get hit hard.


Lakshmi taking a bath on the river, mybe its the best moment that she always wait everyday.


I see with my eyes, when I try to touch her, and she give the trunk, im not ask for bless, I just wanna touch her, in a minute she getting hit and I hear how laksmi scream, extremely sad. So to stop it, I give money to her.



Look the man!, he keep long stick with sharp metal on.

Im confused, the priest say’s, come come holy lakshmi will bless you…What the hell with holy, you (all that use elephant in temple for stupid circus) where is your brain? exploit the god creature inside the God home!

From the hindusm history that I read, elephant represents one of the faith’s most important Gods--Lord Ganesh. It’s why they uses elephant to attract the visitors to come.



For you, all ganesha follower in india, are you sure let your God live in cramped cages with feet chained?. Work over everyday just to give you stupid bless?
And for you , all traveler in india, Let be a compassionate traveler! a journey without having to exploit the creatures is more fun !!

"Monkey Mask........"

Every day I work from 12 am till 9 pm, usually “my lord” chooses a street with a traffic jam to make the attraction. Yes they hope to get much money in the traffic jam.

It’s tired? Yes very tired, 11 hour work, under a sunscreen and pollution. Don’t think that my lord gives me sunscreen and mask pollution; hello…I work for poverty, and have no budget to buy it.

I’m an angel? Yes! Do you know why? Because what I do can help some poor people to continue life. It’s my sins or nightmare?

But what can I do, I just a stupid animal. I do what my lord says; like dancing with scary mask, than play on a bicycle.

Imagine if you be like me , with your neck tied with an iron chain. Dance in a terrible street with the sound of the horn that damages my ears , would you be able to do this?

I just know the city is bad , was not friendly and is very arrogant.

I miss my habitat, when I can enjoy jumping from coconut tree to get the fruit.

If u meet me anywhere, can you stop to give money? You know I can’t go to supermarket to buy what I want. What I need is a good food and place to live normally like the other monkeys do; not living in the street, not in the city….

I am someone, not something (day 4 collecting my thought @ Yogyakarta)
