“Sure I admit that you can't just 
give animals the right to vote, and    
sure some people say we're the serial  
killers of the animal world,” she said,
looking at me, “but still, the way some
of those animals you eat are housed in 
cages too small to even turn around in.
Caged like that for their whole lives. 
Wow! How can you people live with      
yourselves?                            
     “And the worst part, even worse   
than everything else, are your wars.   
Oh, my fucking God! What the fuck is   
wrong with you people?!”               
     She didn’t even wait for an answer
but went on and on about how bad we all
were, until Rhonda told her to, “Shut  
up! Just shut the fuck up! We know all 
about that. Humans are assholes. We get
it, but what you don’t seem to get is  
* that not all of us are like that. Some   
of us are good people.” she said, and  
then added, “Some of us are trying to  
stop people like the ones that took my 
sister. Some of us are... are...” She  
started crying and couldn’t stop.      
     Pee Wee and Mouse moved over to   
comfort her, and that’s when the Cat   
jumped off Beth’s lap and went over to 
rub her head against Rhonda’s hand.    
     “I’m sorry Hacker. I forgot about 
your sister.”                          
     “It’s ok,” Rhonda said after get- 
ting herself back together again. “I   
just don’t want to be lumped in with   
people like that, you know.”           
     “I do, and you’re right,” the Cat 
said while jumping into Rhonda’s lap,  
and then looked at all of us. “You     
people are nothing like Frankie and his
two evil pissants, and since we’re on  
the subject anyway, let me tell you all
about that shitty little asshole.”
