Just my opinion, but I think telling a detailed story of one animal at a time like Topsy has more meaning to people. More influence because they see their personality, how they would live if they were free, more of an emotional attachment that stays in your memory longer. Not sure how well I'm explaining what I'm trying to say. For ex, we all rembr the spider Charlotte vs talking abt spiders in general. Putting together Topsy's story is well worth the effort. Something that will last forever. Topsy's story continues to break my heart, and it helps me see all elephants as individuals with their own story. I believe the story you're writing will outlive all of us for a long, long time.
Kim, would you plz send me your article on what you do when you feel down, and not so positive abt the animal rights movement? Also, I would appreciate your article on choosing the pig's heart valve to repair your heart. I would have made the same choice. I cannot afford your substack right now bc of legal troubles. Thank you.
It feels odd to like this post, but thank you for sharing. Poor Pang Fah Sai and Pang Ploy Thong - heartbreaking.
Yes, like feels odd. It needs one of those sad faces. 😢
