Re: What made you smile today? Part III
"Smile" probably isn't quite the right word, but it is one tiny piece of justice.

The Kaibiles, U.S. trained assassins who participated in the killing of hundreds of thousands of Guatemalans. I know someone whose whole family was massacred, leaving only her.

I went to a cheetah rehab place in Namibia and got close to cuddle a cheetah that had been raised as a 'pet' and had been bought to the centre so it could have acres of land to live.
I posted the video of me stroking him and everyone insisted he was drugged as though they knew for sure but the cheetah hadnt, he had been hand raised and I emphasise was still a wild animal but hand raised wild animals can and do react differently to humans, just as quickly as some of them can attack.
In Namibia there is a place that has a hand raised baboon called Elvis that eats with the family and even has his own cup for his milk - he isnt drugged at all.
