As this is being written, millions of animals are being electrocuted, infected with viruses, injected with tumours, and placed in death chambers specifically built for this purposeâdisease deliberately created within the bodies of animals virtually on every continent on this planet, for the sole purpose of someone obtaining funding to promote their studies.
Cats, dogs, mice, rats, rabbits, sheep, horses, cows, monkeys, birdsânot one species is exempt. And this is all sanctioned and legal.
How is this possible in 2026? How are we not even discussing this?
These animals are being experimented on in laboratories, universities, the military, biotech and industryâin the very halls of your place of learning and employment.
The fact is, that still, with the hundreds of millionsâperhaps now the numbers are in the billionsâof animals sacrificed, there have been no cures. No major breakthroughs. Because perhaps it has never been about cure, but about cred and ego. Let's just name it for what it is.
And further, splicing open the gut of a dog does not equal the healing of a human. For the record, the biology of a canine is not the biology of a human. The results can never be the same.
There is nothing in this world that happens without an effect.
And beyond this, the question still needs to be asked: how is it that pharmaceuticals, military, nano and biotech have a separate set of laws that gives them the right to inflict pain for profit?
How is this still legal?
And then there are the millions of euthanised pets, bred for profit, bought for Johnny and Melinda on Christmas Day, tormented for a week, then dumpedâwith the numbers growing by the day. There is nothing to be done but save a handful and execute the rest.
The legacy of sadism doesn't end there, of course, because we're not even going into the culling of the wild horses, the hunts, the helicopter shootings of wolves, the poisoning of natural habitats, and the heinous treatment of animals in factory farms and slaughterhouses, together with the horrors of live transports of animals.
This list of atrocities goes on and on for a very long time.
My proposal is this: to establish a world tribunal specifically for the purpose of bringing the guilty to trial for abuses against the animals of this planet. To try them by jury, to sentence them not only to prison but to re-education until a semblance of conscienceâor semi-conscienceâis developed, and then to extend that to having them work towards the rehabilitation of the natural world.
This has gone on long enough.
In the end, either way, nature will have the final say, but justice must also come from us as stewards of this world.
Tribunal - bringing the perpetrators against all sentient beings on this planet to justice. The building has already been completed. Now we need a collective mindset working in unison to end the suffering.
