Catpunching

Catpunching.



When i look at this point of cat-punching a question comes up within me “What kind of people are doing something like this?”. I have a reaction of anger and hatred, going so far as to even wanting to “do something unto those people”, calling for justice... quite naturally or understandably you would say? Well, then you are, like me if i would accept that reaction, part of the problem that cause and perpetuate abuse in this world, resulting in manifestations like cat-punching or the said facebook-event.

I mean, the very reaction of anger and my thought/picture of “wanting just-ice/revenge” or to use force /violence to stop them is revealing. It shows how the very nature of a cat-puncher exists within me or anyone that would want to use force/violence towards another being.

It is a big cycle of dis-empowerment We react to a person that “punch” or in any way abuse an animal/cat deliberately with the same anger and hatred that we see them act out towards the animal, without even understanding where it comes from and or what does it serve. Does that then make us any different to them? It is not so easy to exactly pin-point why they do what they do, yet the person could investigate and find that out for them selves. Through writing and investigating with self-forgiveness one can source where this energy impulse comes from and how it was created within and by Self.

A point is also that the second facebook-page was named “Valentines Day Catpunching Event”. Valentines Day is typically a “celebration” of “love”, and it seems like a sarcastic reference and creates a opposition to the generally positive value of “Valentines Day”, like a polarity within the the title. Seems like the authors of the page wanted to say “we love cat-punching” and deliberately create a Polarity/Opposition to that which is generally accepted/defined as “lovely/positive/lovable”, such as cats. This polarity of
“love/hate” is also found within the people participating in the topic. On the one hand we have the animal/cat-hater that hate and abuse cats and on the other hand we have the animal/cat-lover that hate against the cat-haters. Lol.

Personally i have always liked cats and had quite an intimate relationship with them, so when i see abuse against them i have thoughts/reactions of wanting to help/protect/save them. For example through “doing something to those that abuse them”. Jet is this really going to help/protect the cats? Or any other animal in this world? Does closing the FB-Page protect/support those cats or other animals? I mean the people posting those photos, if they are actually abusing/punching the cats, most likely continue to do so even if the page is closed down. What about all the other animals that are killed, maimed, tortured, abused on a daily basis for various purposes in relation to and as an outflow of our human activities?

To contribute to the Solution, instead of the problem, we must stop and understand that which is of abuse within ourselves. We must stop dis(this)-empowering ourselves through reacting to unacceptable manifestations in this world, like cat-punching, and understand how we are collectively and individually contributing to creating them. Then we have to take responsibility for our part and stop/change. Obviously there is nothing wrong with signing a petition, to stop for example cat-punching or other things that we see and realize are unacceptable, but to really fix the problem at its core, we must look deeper to find their source/origin and expand our perspective to include all forms of abuse, against animals as well as humans.

A good place to start investigating is here:
