Just Grin and Go On

There may come a time in the not too distant future when the Bali Dog becomes such a rarity that their memory will be consigned to some historical documents.  Or they may only be seen in some zoo like sanctuaries that will evolve into skanky touristy tackiness.  Or they could actually out survive a human driven global event leaving them to feed on the rotting corpses of our failed folly.  The thought of Bali Dogs getting fat and overpopulated on the backsides and entrails of humans seems rather fitting and very ironic.

More probable is the reality that they will continue to retreat from the plague that’s infesting their Island home, an unstoppable reality that’s consuming all in its path, a pathogen that’s causing ongoing irreversible damage to their natural habitat.  At least Rabies wasn’t personal and a vaccine against its virulence was effective and successful. There really are no effective or successful antidotes for and against the globalized bacterium infection that humans have unleashed.

But for now consider an unavoidable scenario where humans make the ultimate sacrifice completely against their selfish will and gluttonous want.  Having pushed too far, pulled too hard and destroyed ourselves, we are left at the mercy and whim of those we have shat upon. 

On behalf of all those who continue to be aghast at the continuing destructive nature of our very own species and in what can only be guessed could be in the minds of Bali Dogs.

​Go On and Just Grin.
