What could be more worse than a squandered intellect that denies it's responsibility for stewardship? With sentience comes the knowledge to know what's right, and I don't know how we're supposed to show love when we've given up on life. Skin irritants and lethal doses forced onto creatures to create products. Ninety-four percent of animal tests are to produce cosmetics. There's an industry to provide corpses to every school for dissection to prove what we have always known. They die as we test as they die. Life's a search for the Isle of Dog... a place that's free from mar. Life's a search for the Isle of Dog. Cold. Sinking. Bitter. Choking. Dark.
