LETTER TO "OWNERS" OF CHAINED DOGS
1/11
dear "owner",
I got this letter written for me. You don't even know the joy I feel for being able to communicate with you. Every day, since that distant day when you put the chain around my neck and locked me in this space,
2/11
I dream that you'll come visit me and pet me like you used to do when I was a puppy.
I dream that you come and talk to me, I don't really understand what you're saying, but you can't imagine how much I love hearing the sound of your voice!
I know I've done something wrong,
3/11
otherwise you certainly wouldn't have put me here. Excuse! I don't want to be picky but it starts to hurt to have this chain around my neck. Sometimes my neck is numb, other times I'm very itchy and I can't even scratch! I feel its weight every day, the weight of the
4/11
loneliness that holds me back.
I want to stretch my legs and run...and how I wish I could do that with you! I would love for you to toss me some balls, then I could show you how fast I am at running and how quickly I brought them. I wish I could see what you see, the world
5/11
outside is too big? And are there others like me?
Sometimes I'm thirsty and a little hungry but I bear it in silence because I know that as soon as you can you'll come give me food and water, I know you do what you can, I don't want to bother you, but you know, sometimes
6/11
I'd like to have some of yours company.
I know that maybe someone told you that I have no feelings, but look what a lie! You can't even imagine how much joy I feel when someone touches me or addresses me. You don't even know how much sadness and loneliness weigh on me
7/11
in the long hours that I don't see anyone. You don't even know the fear I sometimes feel in winter here alone, and I want so much to be close to you.
The other day some strange people came by and started looking inside and pointing at me, laughing and throwing stones at me.
8/11
They wanted to come and hurt you. They hit me with one in the paw and yesterday I couldn't get up, but I soon chased them away with my barking. I don't want anyone to harm you…and I don't want you to get mad at me, I promise to do better for you.
I am your most faithful
9/11
friend, I will never betray you, I do not hold grudges, and I never take anyone's place, do you have more friends like that in your world? I just wanted a little more of your attention and love, a warm bed in winter, a cool place in summer and your smell entering my nostrils
10/11
every day, followed by a smile and a party on my old loin.
I know that one day you will come here and take the chain and give me all this, until then I will be quiet and wait. Just don't take my "owner" too long, because I'm getting old and I'm starting to see and hear
11/11
poorly. I lack strength and I don't want to go without living a little with you.
From your "dog"
If you see a trapped dog, print this letter and place it in the owner's mailbox. On behalf of the "chained dogs", thank you.

1/4 Mr. President of the USA @POTUS and Mrs. @FLOTUS , on behalf of animals tortured in water parks, going crazy for loneliness, who commit suicide exhausted of loneliness, confined to half a dozen meters 24 hours a day, Mr. President of EA , empty the tanks and return to their

Animals are not things... Because they are not things!
Will it be so hard to figure this out?!?
It will be hard to see that they cannot be things when they have hearts, and they have blood in their veins and arteries, and they
3/4
have eyes to see, plus all the senses we have, and they feel hunger and thirst, and fear and loneliness, and miss, and that just aren't living beings like us, who teach us so much that we quickly forget in our calculating life.... How to give unconditionally without knowing

1/ 4🐱NATAL é quando um homem quiser; Boas Festas a todos🐱🖤
Quando um Homem Quiser
Tu que dormes à noite na calçada do relento
numa cama de chuva com lençóis feitos de vento
tu que tens o Natal da solidão, do sofrimento
és meu irmão, amigo, és meu irmão
2/ 4 E tu que dormes só o pesadelo do ciúme
numa cama de raiva com lençóis feitos de lume
e sofres o Natal da solidão sem um queixume
és meu irmão, amigo, és meu irmão
Natal é em Dezembro
mas em Maio pode ser
Natal é em Setembro
é quando um homem quiser
Natal é quando nasce
3/ 4 uma vida a amanhecer
Natal é sempre o fruto
que há no ventre da mulher
Tu que inventas ternura e brinquedos para dar
tu que inventas bonecas e comboios de luar
e mentes ao teu filho por não os poderes comprar
és meu irmão, amigo, és meu irmão

« RESPEITO POR ESSA MULHER / SENHORA »
Escolhi a solidão para me defender. Eu me escondo da humanidade que me rodeia, desta humanidade barulhenta e intrusiva. Vivo rodeado de animais, árvores, flores.
Escolhi a solidão para me defender. Eu me escondo da humanidade que me rodeia, desta humanidade barulhenta e intrusiva. Vivo rodeado de animais, árvores, flores. Tenho cavalos, jumentos, carneiros, cabras, porcos, galinhas, patos, gansos, pombos. Então, claro, cães e gatos.
Nem sei quantos são...
Sinto-me muito mais perto da natureza e dos animais do que do homem. Admito que odeio a maioria das espécies humanas. Sou casada com a causa dos animais para finalmente entender a minha existência aqui. Tentando explicar ao homem que o abuso de animais

THE BEST JUDGE IN THE WORLD
Justice fails deadlines and is forced to release prisoners
Courts do not make judgments and witnesses invoke a state of emergency in order not to appear.
The fact that there is almost no trial or process instructions due to Covid-19 means that within
a few weeks many of the preventive prisoners, for the most varied crimes, have to be released.

The counties from North to South of the country have not carried out trials - nor those considered urgent - due to the lack of public health conditions. Many of the listed witnesses

1/7Dedicated to the British Government #UK🇬🇧 & Ms. Judge Vanessa Baraitser, in the certainty that your conscience will dictate the case of Mr. JULIAN ASSANGE:
#FreeASSANGE🇦🇺✊⏳

Excellent text by Federal Judge Raquel Domingues do Amaral:

«Do you know what rights are made of, my
2/7 young people?

Do you smell it?

Rights are made of sweat, blood, rotting human flesh on the battlefield, burned in bonfires!

When I open the Constitution in Article 5, in addition to the signs, the statements in legal language, I smell old blood!

I see heads rolling from
3/7 guillotines, maimed young men, women burning in the flames of bonfires! I hear the crazed cry of the impaled

I come across hungry children, hardened by harsh winters, deceased at factory doors with empty stomachs!

I choke on the concentration camp chimneys, spewing human

Values such as compassion, respect, humanity have been lost. When U look at a Christmas party, remember that the prisoner of the year is still forced into silence in boundless pain. Christmas is all year round, at a time marked by capitalism I couldn't keep silent #FreeASSANGE

1/5-By the right to freedom of the press, freedom of speech and freedom to be born human, if one understands Mr. Assange's silence here is the greatest poem in the world for the whole year.
When a Man Wants
You who sleep at night on the sidewalk
in
2/5
a rain bed with sheets made of wind
you who have the Christmas of loneliness, of suffering
you are my brother friend you are my brother

And you who sleep only the nightmare of jealousy
in a bed of rage with sheets made of fire
and suffer the Christmas of loneliness without
