Hey everyone, how is it going? Yeah, I know. We're all busy. We all got stuff we're doing. Something that just happened that I was literally like in the middle of doing like housework, stuff like that, and it really caught my attention. Was okay, so there's been the thing going on with the Beagles and everything, and uh they're testing and everything, people are upset. I I'm not happy about that either. So just saying. Um and then this other thing, and like I said, it actually made me stop and listen, and then I actually had to look up some information because I was like, wait, what? That that's insane. And again, as much as the Beagle situation is really bad, in California on Skid Row and whatnot, and definitely it's gonna be happening in other places, but there it's being noticed. People are testing out their drugs and shit on their dogs, on their animals. And in previous times, I would say, oh, it's just people screwing around and you know, cruelty or whatever, but they're literally doing it so they know that it it whether or not it has fentanyl in it, whether or not it's gonna kill them. So it's kind of like here, I'm gonna give this to my dog and see what happens. And if they don't die, then I know I can get high and it's good. That is the most fucked up shit in the world. And I mean, like I said, I'm for me, it's a big deal. Uh, you know, I'm an animal person and everything like that. Like I said, the beagle situation, I'm not cool with that either. One thing that I don't understand is how people will pretty much invade uh an installation or something with the beagle situation. Yet in LA, there's videos of people just walking down the street and you can see their dogs tripping out on the floor because their dogs are high as fuck. So, how is it the beagle situation we need to like, you know, take up arms and you know, go rescue them and whatever? But then there's a whole nother group of animals that aren't being held behind gates or guards or cages or any of that shit. They're just open in the air being mistreated. Now, how is it one is a call for you know revolution and violence and we must, and the other one, people are like, eh, whatever. Like, what the fuck is wrong with you? Like, seriously, like we're not talking about, you know, you know, the homeless people that are you know just not feeding their dogs or what they're literally drugging their animals to see if it's safe for them to take it. And when it comes down to it, you know, they don't know the proper math or anything, so those dogs are definitely getting too much of what what they could normally handle, you know. If it was in a scientific type atmosphere, those things would be measured and logged, and it would, you know, as it goes on, it builds, the information adds up. This is just a whole bunch of people on Skid Row that are buying drugs, injecting their dogs to make sure that they can live so they don't die. Like, what the you know, and then people will turn around, oh well, you know, it's just you know, pets. Dude, I would never inject anything in my dog, in any of my animals, that would cause harm to harm to it. And I would never, never go, oh, well, I'm gonna give this to you before I do it. If that's the case, you don't need to have animals, you don't need to be a pet owner. Okay. And I mean, okay, so at one point you would say, well, you know, the dogs will die, they won't have any, and what but alas, you know, they've found a cure for that problem themselves. Instead, they just um sell them so they do puppies and then they sell the dogs, and then when they sell the dogs, it's oh, they can sell the dogs for more drugs, or they can sell the dogs for that or whatever, because whoever's taking it, they're taking as a test puppy so that they can make sure that they'll survive taking drugs later. So, as much as people want to do the right thing, which in a lot of ways it's very commendable, why not look at something that can be changed? And I'm not saying it's gonna be an easy change, but there's a full, like, there's a okay, you have one side the beagles, you have to go and you know, full frontal assaults and break into this facility and whatever, but that's a whole nother story. On the other end, you have a whole bunch of homeless people living on the streets and their animals are living there, and their animals are being tortured. Now, why does one of these have animal activists all up in arms, like, you know, oh you know, the end of the world and blah blah blah type shit, you know, but the other one not a peep. What the fuck is wrong with you? I mean, seriously. Is if if if it's if it's if it's truly, truly, truly about the animals, then the homeless situation should be something that they'd want to fix first. And for a couple reasons. One, because they're there's no science basis for anything. They're literally just um being cruel to these animals. You know, they're just doing it to do it because they can. There's no regulations over who's doing what or how much, what animals, anything like that. It's just they have a dog and they do it. And like I said, I it's a lot easier to go for that one than it is to break into a facility and try and get all the and what that's a whole nother level. But when it comes down to it, like I said, not a peep about all those dogs. Those dogs are getting tested on, you know, they're being killed, they're being inhumanely treated, all that same thing, but no one cares. And that's a bunch of bullshit. Because anybody that is a pet owner knows that they look up to you to help make sure that they're okay. And now you've created the same situation of where now a lab tech that comes by and checks on them or does something like that is now become a friend in the same situation that, oh, there's this person where I live, and they don't actually inject me with anything, so they're my friend. That's so disturbed. The fysa, it just when it comes to people's priorities for shit, that's way off. Way, way off. And as you know, in the background you can hear the birds and everything like that. It's just you know, the people that do those type of things to animals, those are some of the worst kind of people. You know, because an animal even more so than a kid or something like that, is even less able to defend themselves, you know? And nobody cares about that. And that's not right. And like I said in the beginning, the Beagle situation, I believe that needs to be fixed too. You know, so it's not one's right, one's wrong. They're both fucked up situations. But one of them is a lot easier to fix than the other, especially when you when you try to fix it in the proper way. And this was really something that just like I said, can't it really came up because I heard about it, and I was kind of in disbelief, and then you know, do a little bit of research, just looking up on some stuff, and I'll definitely, you know, we'll talk more about it later because I know J-Rock is gonna be in complete disbelief at what I tell him. But when it comes down to it, um we're definitely gonna talk more about this one because it's one of the ones that hits home, you know, for animal lovers. But it's it's one of those things where it's it's doesn't really involve, you know, the government in the sense of you have to overtake something, you know. It just deals with human beings and whether or not human beings on the level of right and wrong are being, as I always say, good to each other, you know. Same goes with, you know, animals and everything like that. Do we treat them well? When it comes down to it, if the if the role was reversed, would you be okay with it? Would that treatment be okay if that were your friends or your neighbors or things like that? People really need to just, you know, take that little extra little extra thought process and go through it to just see and it's not always gonna be, you know, what's the other side, you know, to get that perspective, but maybe just um what would happen if you didn't do that, you know? Or what would happen if instead of you know doing it in this place, you did it somewhere else, you know, kind of start small and work your way up. Same concept. Because I mean that's that's a lot of animals that they could help save. And granted, it's not gonna be some big showy, oh, you broke into this place and released, you know, a thousand beagles or what no, it's not gonna be that. But it's almost like slavery for animals, and then on top of it, they're being tested on. And so if those are things that people really care about, you know, do something and make a difference where you can. When it's far beyond you, hey, you can't you can only do so much, you know, as a person, as a small group, you can only do so much. But if you make what you do work on and the things that you do change as big as you possibly can, then you the work that you do you do create or the people that you do save turns out to be even that much better because not it wasn't so much that you kept it where you needed it to be, but it was you took it right to where everyone else needed it. And I'm not saying that the the beagles don't need help, not saying that they do. But right now, that's like you know, a top of mountain. Homeless people mistreating their animals, and like I said, not just LA, but everywhere. But that's a situation that is a lot easier to work on, and it's something that doesn't involve large groups of people, it's small, small areas, small, small groups. People don't need to do what they they don't have to do what they think is right and it'd be an illegal act. And so for all the problems or all the things that people out there that say are problems, there's always gonna be big problems that you can affect, but there's always gonna be smaller problems that are more central to where you are or to where you know or to how your life works. And those are the things that you will be able to change. And over time it it will be seen as you doing a lot of work and helping a lot of people, a lot of animals, you know, however that is, but it's not something of to of not to aim for those big ones. It's not that. It's just keeping everything in keeping in mind what's possible and what's not. And when something is possible and you don't do it, then even if you're trying to fight against that, you were able to change it and you didn't, and you didn't care. So what's the difference between you and the person that actually did it? You know, and people need to think about that more. And it needs to be more about changing the system and how everything works within it, and you know, actually making that difference and not so much about being known for a specific change or specific event or specific day or whatever. Yes, we all want to have, you know, our own little bit of notoriety, and that's fine. But make sure that your notoriety is for the right thing and for the right reasons. And this is Bull just offering, you know, my two cents on what I was thinking when, you know, I heard about this situation, and I can tell you right now, it's definitely gonna be something that we talk about more. So definitely come back for uh what it's like when uh J Rock is back, and um it's something that will definitely, definitely have a lot to say on because you know the so much can be done, but only so much will be effective. And if we do a lot do a lot of work and it's not effective, then we wasted a lot of time and a lot of energy. And it would be best if we can make the work that we do the most effective. Again, bull's thoughts. So until next time, be good to each other. And if you have any comments or questions or any type of, you know, mean things to say or whatever, or say that we're doing something wrong or whatever, just hit us up. Bull and jrock at gmail.com. R-O-C Nok. And just gonna let you go with that and hope that you guys have you know a pleasant weekend. And you know, I would say try and find something fun. You know, everyone seems to be in a little bit of a down mood and things like that. Just try and find something that you'd really enjoy and that you'd have a good time doing, you know. Not always be ragging on other people and stuff, but just have fun. You know, and behave. You know, that's always a good part of it too. But, you know, have fun with your family, with your friends, whatever it is. Have a good time. Go out, do something, you know, spend some time outside. Get to know each other, find out something new. Those are always fun times. Especially when you've known somebody for ten years and all of a sudden it's a wait, what? You really oh wow. Just take a little bit of time, get to know the people around you, and who knows what'll happen. Maybe it'll turn into a project. Like project podcast. You know, but people have the same interest as you and just build what you can and nobody's perfect. But you can always have fun. And while you're building your mini empire with your friends, whether it be something that you do with food or you know, something with podcasts or things like that, have fun. And we're not here forever. And just like who's going through things with the dogs and everything like that, it's not all great for all of us, you know. So enjoy what you have with people and make the best of it.
