I'm sure I don't have the stomach for that show if its sad. I cry too easily and the dreams I have that night keep me up.

i caught a re-run of the first part last night (about 2 am ).  was very interesting

I was wondering if anyone watched?

I thought it to be a very tasteful program of a very distasteful subject.  It certainly gave me some cultural insight.  I thought bringing out the "dominion of man over all living creatures" to have an interpretation that I had taken very differently. That being that the human is the shepherd and caregiver of all creatures "beneath" him. 

I also found it fascinating the Humane Society Groups out of the US (as many problems as we have in the US alone!) that are trying to educate in the forms of neuter/spay but also in using more humane forms of euthanization.  In this respect I am again very proud of organizations I have never heard of in this great State of Texas that are giving their energy, knowledge and lifeblood in educating and helping.  That is where my next donation is going as soon as I find out who they are.

I really doubt that this post resulted in an audience for this broadcast.  But it was worth the try.
