This is the Summer of 2009;
At the begining of the summer my cat Zeusy who was 19 passed away and his mom Minou 24 passed away just last weekend. Zeusy and I are working on a book called 'What Happens When You Die - You are Forever' .
The other thing that has been going on is the garbage strike; summer of 2009
The city has become infested with rats and other wild animals who normally go to feed outside of the city at the dumps. These animals have come into the city, and as many people have kept thier garbages in their backyards, sheds and parking lots, this is where the animals have come for food.
I need to tell this story because it has been a very big Learning for me. I had racoons, squirrels, rats, bees and flies. I had been working with Chris Wright from - A Animal Removal - Humane Animal Removal for the past two months and he wonderfully managed to get rid of every body but the rats, humanely. He had said to me, along with everybody else that I spoke to Humane or not, that I could get rid of the rats, but only by killing them. I was unsure what to do at the time. So he left me some rat poision, instructions how to use it and told me to call him in a week. Really a caring and good person to work with. He NEW, I didn't. I tried other ways, humane traps ect..... NO WAY. When rats move in they don't listen, they don't care, its them or you.
So I have spent the last three weeks killing rats, my home is sealed off on one side and both MR.Leo and Star have been instructed not to eat them but leave them for mummy to pick up and dispose of. They left one for me on their poop place last week, which by the way, I am very grateful for. I know it sounds sick. But months of not being able to sleep and them thinking they owne the place, eating everything - ENOUGH.
I just needed to tell this story it has been very strange for me killing the rats. I feel like I have waged war and won. And I see dead rat bodies in my head which was really messing me up for a while.
I am now vegan and I feel much better. There has just been to much animal death around me, I simply don't look at meat like meat any more. Perhaps it is that concept that in North America we go to the grocery store and pick a nice piece of meat, and who this peice of meat was before is completely removed from us. By killing the rats in my home this summer, I made a choice to take back my space for myself and my animals I have also seen that we are all animals. I did wage war on the rats and they are extremely smart beings. My morning visits this summer were not to Starbucks but to Canadian tire learning about the tools of warfare. There were many like myself we often exchanged secrets over the potions poisons and traps set out thankfully for us by Canadian Tire.
Thank you for listening to my story. It is an odd story coming from me. And I am grateful for the experience, it has made me/us stronger and I am now veagan.
'What Happens When you Die - You are Forever' by Zeusy and myself should be ready by November, Nancy Lew is doing a second edit on the second rewrite at the moment.
My heart is open to you
Love and Light Christine, MR.Leo and STar
