It seems like nobody wants to do anything for animals, both sides use animals for political purposes. (Polskie tłumaczenie przyjdzie potem)

 So today I will talk about animal rights stuff, although I won't be dogmatic about it for several reasons.
I was raised in a meat-eating culture in Poland that tells me that without meat, there is no traditional Polish food and the same applies to the majority of patriarchal cultures. Hunting is here in Poland considered an "old Polish custom". While hunting in moderate amounts is not bad, there are perils of legalizing the egregious amount of murder, directed against animals. How many animals have gone extinct, because of this?

Sadly, human lifestyle doesn't allow us to be connected to the nature and borders make it difficult for us human to visit a lot of parts of the world, where we can witness exotic animals. Hence why as a kid (and I still have some good memories out of it), I went to the zoos and circuses. I will still support zoos and circuses, if they aren't cruel to the animals, because it seems like I can't travel freely without having to get visas, except to the EU countries. And that bothers me, because I wanted to travel the whole world and I'm not allowed to do so, due to the cultural, mostly patriarchal barriers. Though I must admit, circuses with animals are technically illegal in Poland, since 2021 (mostly applies to wild animals). Unfortunately, some circuses with animals contributed to this public opinion of circuses being cruel to the animals (like, why can't they get rid of porn and prostitution industry that exploits and enslaves women the same way like apparently some circuses with animals do?).

While circuses with animals are illegal, meanwhile in Asia and Africa, people, especially men, are free to kill the animals, because of the cultural reasons and if you criticize it, tell them to stop being unethical with animals, killing them for souvenirs and for aphrodisiacs, they would call you a "xenophobe". And White American, Canadian and European trophy hunters are doing the same in Asia and Africa! Bear in mind, I'm not uncritical towards what Europeans are doing to the animals. Slaughterhouses in Europe are still very unethical and cruel. And the worst thing is that they are normalized. Those overpopulated with small spaces slaughterhouses, resembling you know what (offensive to some people, except Isaac Bashevis Singer).

How long will it take, to abandon this dogmatically capitalistic, corporatocratic lifestyle, to witness the humanity being connected to the nature? How long would it take for us to be like the rest of the animals, for once? Why are we forced to live unnatural lifestyle of having an unergonomic house, having to go to work and see all those unnatural, modernist buildings that don't respect people's willingness to connect with the nature? Why are we forced to live like that? How are we better than those animals we claim that they "have no feelings" and "are less intelligent than us"? Men say the same things about women as well and they treat us like animals!

Sadly, I can't change the world and I'm having the more libertarian approach to the situation. I would personally legalize the ownership of wild animals, as everything is better than poaching and killing them and making them go extinct. It's not the thought in form in "I think of myself as better than the animals", but more likely that I want to get to know those animals, get influenced by them and simply appreciate them as individuals, not as "monsters that eat humans".

So, maybe I'm having outrageous views, but consider everything I say, from the perspective of a not neurotypical person and I sincerely don't care, I love being quirky and not like others.
I'm also against the human-animal separation (called non-PC as animal apartheid) for this reason.
