Fight Fire with Sapphire!

Fellow travellers, sometimes an event that seems unpleasant or distressing at first is actually cause for joy!

Take this story, about a Chinese schoolboy having his arm bitten off by a circus lion.  

Clearly, the non-human person was making a political statement.  And I believe this was three-fold:

Firstly, he was venting his rage at being made to perform tricks in the circus.  Imagine how this former "King of the Junge" must feel to be so routinely humilated!  Appalling.

Then there was his choice of a schoolboy as a co-performer for his impromptu act.  This was significant.  Of course, children are symbols of the future.  Without doubt he was warning of the environmental destruction that will result from the Chinese Government's plan to build 550 coal-fired power stations.

And interestingly the boy's left arm was taken.  No accident there.  Our feisty feline fellow traveller was pointing out that the nation's communist voice was being drowned out by the capitalist cacophony.

These motivations are obvious to anyone with any sensitivity.  But of course the usual suspects will blame "brutal" nature, wring their hands about it and call for better security.  But they will never, ever address the root causes.

Sound familiar, fellow travellers?
