Spending My Tenderness on Animals

As a vulnerable girl at a remote commune,

I sought solace from horses, goats, even a bear cub.

 

Today’s dark times have sent me their way again.

Crannog - the woman who helps animals to die with dignity        Video        The Guardian        12 July 2019

 

Alexis has a life-threatening disease.

 

She spends her time

in the wooded expanse of northern Scotland

where she takes care of dozens of others

who are also sick, wounded or dying.

 

Some have terminal cancer,

some were about to be killed

because of their disabilities,

some were saved from slaughterhouses.

 

Alexis provides palliative care for animals.

 

Crannog follows Alexis as she tirelessly tries

to nurse a neglected sheep back to health.

 

A quiet reflection on kindness in the face of death,

the film intimately explores the fragility and strength

that comes from dedicating your life to the care of others.

Benjamin Zephaniah > Talking Turkeys    1995

 

(from 'Talking Turkeys')

 

"Be nice to yu turkeys dis christmas

Cos' turkeys just wanna hav fun

Turkeys are cool, turkeys are wicked

An every turkey has a Mum.

Be nice to yu turkeys dis christmas,

Don't eat it, keep it alive,

It could be yu mate, an not on your plate

Say, Yo! Turkey I'm on your side."

I got lots of friends who are turkeys

An all of dem fear christmas time,

Dey wanna enjoy it, dey say humans destroyed it

An humans are out of dere mind,

Yeah, I got lots of friends who are turkeys

Dey all hav a right to a life,

Not to be caged up an genetically made up

By any farmer an his wife."
