Heart Animal Crabs

More From Anne Sexton

But i am greedy for life. i do too much of everything all the time. suddenly one day my heart will fail. the iron crab will get me as it got my father. but i am not afraid of the crab. at least i shall have died from an honourable disease. perhaps they will put on my tombstone. 'this man died from living too much'.
Father Tombstone Heart
And people who believe in god think god has put human beings on earth because they think human beings are the best animal, but human beings are just an animal and they will evolve into another animal, and that animal will be cleverer and it will put human beings into a zoo, like we put chimpanzees and gorillas into a zoo. or human beings will all catch a disease and die out or they will make too much pollution and kill themselves, and then there will only be insects in the world and they will be the best animal.

Washington is gripped by crab-in-the-bucket syndrome. and there's no cure in sight. put a single crab in an uncovered bucket, and it will find a way to climb up and out on its own. put a dozen crabs in a bucket, and 11 will fight with all their might to pull down the striver who attempts escape.

Not only are the philosophies of animal rights and animal welfare separated by irreconcilable differences... the enactment of animal welfare measures actually impedes the achievement of animal rights... welfare reforms, by their very nature, can only serve to retard the pace at which animal rights goals are achieved.
Philosophy Animal Rights
I believe that the best way to create good living conditions for any animal, whether it's a captive animal living in a zoo, a farm animal or a pet, is to base animal welfare programs on the core emotion systems in the brain. my theory is that the environment animals live in should activate their positive emotions as much as possible, and not activate their negative emotions any more than necessary. if we get the animal's emotions rights, we will have fewer problem behaviors... all animals and people have the same core emotion systems in the brain.
Zoos Believe Animal
I fear animals regard man as a creature of their own kind which has in a highly dangerous fashion lost its healthy animal reason - as the mad animal, as the laughing animal, as the weeping animal, as the unhappy animal.

Fashion Thinking Elderly
Do not talk about giftedness, inborn talents! one can assume great men of all kinds who were very little gifted. they acquired greatness, became “geniuses” (as we put it), through qualities the lack of which no one who knew what they were would boast of: they all possessed that seriousness of the efficient workman which first learns to construct the parts properly before it ventures to fashion a great whole; they allowed themselves time for it, because they took more pleasure in making the little, secondary things well than in the effect of a dazzling whole.
