Social media

I am often astonished or dismayed by what I read on social media. I've just seen one story about poor little abandoned elephants that are in need of love and affection. What a load of shite. Elephants are elephants and think like elephants. They are not people and don't think like people. While I do find the mistreatment of animals utterly repugnant, I am much more worried about how people are treated. I wonder if the dear person who published this article voted for the present government, which tirelessly persecutes the weak and vulnerable in our society.
Then I read the ongoing news of the terminally ill baby, whose sufferings and the actions of whose parents make daily headlines. There have apparently been some very nasty goings-on by supporters of that cause, with horrible threats being received by medical staff and other patients' visitors. Sadly I am not all that surprised. The Pro-Life lot are on board, with their nasty Christian values.
