School Days with A pig – Making connections and getting stuck???!!!

  • I failed to get on a bus to go see the movie after a long wait in the rain for the cross harbour tunnel bus tonight, so I went home and watched it on the net instead. Very thought provoking……It is a drama about a teacher introducing a piglet to his graduating primary school class, and how the children who spent their days loving the little pig for one good school year challenged the initial agreement that the piglet should be eaten at the end of their school year. As barriers to let the piglet lives on begin to mount, they are being thrown into a difficult moral dilemma when they have to decide on the pig future before leaving school. Some film critics Continue reading →

Even if UN is setting me up, i still buy into Go Veg 2 save the world


The 6-week Vegan Challenge is just over, Mary has just written in to sum up how she did, from the day the film Vegucated was showed. Congratulations to Mary as well as to everyone who have put your best foot out in here. Yes, being vegan is not a magic solution to all food related cruelty and injustices, say, the recent reportage on the popularity of quinao grown in South America is starving the local farmers there, as they could afford the food no more. Yet, it is a foot set in a good course, a good course that opens us and sensitizes us to many hidden dilemmas and realities, so that we could develop our own ethics instead of being dragged along. 

I have thought about whether the UN’s waving this flag as their micro control over people, as they have no means to control giant corporations that produces cars, aeroplanes, oil, meat and diary etc, so they downloaded the responsibility on us…Just like they have waved the population flag before, as

動物警察的樂與怒

很久沒來…..案頭工作太慢, 人像得了多動症一樣, 難於集中精神….

今天關心動物權益的朋友舉行記者會，要求成立動物警察，我沒到，因為有些問題沒有想好，特別是警權力與父權的糾結，我很難相信依附父權和那套思想建構出來的東西會真的維護動物權益，更擔心權力易放難收，成為不能取代的建制，讓暴力以其他的型態持續。比起在建制手上的警權，我還是希望公民社會在這事上興起，將權力拿穩，包括警察及檢察的培訓，和讓更多人能愛動物更多。。。事忙，不能再寫了，下面是我在面書不知如何回答的回答。。。。希望有機會想多點再補充。。。 Continue reading →

砂從何來 : 沙蓋龍尾灘會讓我們背負環境公義的債

對大埔汀角龍尾灘的發展工程的反對聲音，就那兒的生態價值而言和該計劃的不能持續已有龍尾灘擁有石灘、泥灘和鹹淡水的不同生境不少聲音，這篇小文，只想多加一個離岸觀點。

要將泥灘變為沙灘，首要的便是要問，砂從何來？香港已是無砂可挖，建築或其用沙不是來自香港的任何地方，而是進口。或者先不追尋那些沙從何而來，要鋪一個人見人愛的沙灘，優質沙是免不了。香港要有一個「美麗」的沙灘，便得在某個地方拿走一個。試想，我們能 Continue reading →

香港島像一只靜默了的青蛙

9/6/2012 動物崇拜默想禱文

聽濤雅苑，一個貼近大自然的名字，那兒天海一色，還有水榭庭臺，湖光樹影。然而，大自然只能是用來招來和消費的影像，不能入屋，不能發聲。城市人搬進了原本的郊外，還是用牆圍起了自己，將自己和自然劃分界線，撇除自己於大自然之外，還變成主宰。初夏的蛙鳴，是青蛙短暫求偶的叫聲，卻惹來了住客的投訴，讓管理員連夜搜索，即捕即介， Continue reading →

當鳥兒撞上了……玻璃

雨  驟來

街上彈出了朶朶雨傘

鳥兒  雀起 疾飛  急尋遮蔭

那是一間新開的館子，玻璃「熨」門通透得像不存在

裏面　鳥兒　看得一清二楚

我們也看得一清二來

灰紅的鳥兒　摔在剔透的玻璃門外

眼睛一眨一眨　卻站不起來

這身軀很輕　我輕輕的將牠放在袋子裏 去尋找奇蹟

卻沒被善待

沒有了感覺的爪子　撐不起那細小的身軀

生命的輕

由菜販賣小狗被罰說起

1月6日新聞: 女菜販當街將撿來的初生小狗當餸菜賣，被判罰款$2500。愛動物網民一片驚呼，說罰款太輕，太不尊重生命。我看這則新聞感覺是混亂的：我愛動物， 那菜販不理那軟得像一堆棉花一樣的小狗能否呼吸，將牠的鼻子貼著膠袋的裝進去的鏡頭是絕對震撼　－ 那種將生命物化的原始／坦白呈現，在這個慣性將痛楚／暴力隱藏的城市， 如非在濕街市的活魚生雞檔，已是難見。如今在網友的實地攝錄裏見到，好久不能平復。另一方面， Continue reading →

貝貝及其他 -2012年聖誕, 有人記起了他的名字

1. 2003年11月2日發現在新界元朗山貝河有鱷魚出沒，最後於2004年6月10日被漁農自然護理署所設置的捕獸籠捕獲

我們沒有問過牠的意願, 便給了牠一個名字叫貝貝是寶寶貝貝的意思,但我們沒有體恤這「寶貝」愛生命、愛自由的意願

天天的報導也沒能讓我們有明白牠那超過半年的苦鬥… 牠被判 一世的隔離 囚禁在一丁方大的透明箱子裏 Continue reading →

Temple Grandin – a trapped in resolution to brutality

None of the animals in the husbandry industry have any moment of goodness, from their day one. As shown in the film, these animals are being tortured and humiliated even as they are walking to their final destiny. Temple Grandin is an autistic person with sensitive to the environment and to animals. In the film, she is only responding to this part of the cruelty that she could lay her Continue reading →
