”This is the kind of fast day I’m after: to break
the chains of injustice, get rid of exploitation in the workplace, free the
oppressed, cancel debts”. -Isaiah 58:6 [The Message]
Injustice is everywhere.
How our society treats its animals and children is a strong indicator of
its values. Behind every abused and neglected
animal is a story. People don’t live in
a vacuum; those who are cruel to animals show this behavior in other parts of
their lives. Those who see the cruelty
but feel powerless/afraid to stop it are affected. Children who see it are affected. All are scarred, including the person who is committing
the crime. And the animals suffer
without understanding. A worker at the
SPCA where I took this picture said, “Animals love unconditionally. You can hit a dog with a two-by-four and it
will lick your hand and ask what it did wrong.”
What am I doing to fight injustice?
