BAN LIVE ANIMAL KEYCHAINS

               As of late, the vendors throughout china have come up with a new product that’s “all the rage” with the locals. The products are key chains, but not as you might think. These key chains are a small plastic ball that’s 7 centimeters long (about 2 and a half inches). Inside these tiny plastic bags are either a small Brazil turtle or two small kingfish.
              Now, you’re probably thinking as I was, which is, “How do they SURVIVE?” Well, my dear readers, they bags are filled with a colored liquid supposedly containing enough nutrients to keep the creatures alive for several months. BUT, myself and others argue that the creatures would die in a matter of day, due to lack of oxygen, no matter how “nutritious” the colored liquid is.
              The poor creatures live for a couple of months, and then they die. I don’t entirely believe this next part, but rumor has it that people eat the carcasses. (uhhhhhh?)
At the bottom of this post is a link to the petition I have created to ban these dreadful key chains. If you would please just take a minute of your time to sign this, you would really be helping the cause.

You lied to me.

Lies….. All lies.
And of everyone I’ve ever known, you were the LAST I thought would lie to me.
By now I think I should’ve learned.
But I shouldn’t be surprised. Everybody lies to me eventually.
.
But that doesn’t make it okay.
.
Trust isn’t something I just ‘hand out’ to people.
.
With me, trust is something EARNED. I don’t automatically trust you just because we’re “friends.” When you prove to me on every level that you are someone worth my trust, I give it to you.
.
With me, trust is something easily TAKEN AWAY. You lie to me. Once, depending on it, you might be forgiven….. Might. But after that, the trust is gone. Packed it’s bags and left you all alone in this dark world.
.
With me, trust is more easily GIVEN than REPAIRED, and now you know how hard it is for me to trust someone. When you break my trust, there really are no more ways for you to earn that trust back, and you’re going to have to be very creative with your apology.
.

With me, broken trust is a broken heart. I love all my friends. They’re my family. They all play a monumental role in my life. They’re my foundation on which I build my life. And what happens when you break the foundation of a building?
It comes crashing down.
.

You lied to me. And you will not be easily forgiven.
