cw child death

Last night an 11 year old girl Riya Rajkumar was kidnapped by her dad and this followed an amber alert that broadcasted province wide . Unfortunately she ended up being found dead.

And many Ontarians actually had the audacity to complain about how the alert “woke them up and scared them” instead of focusing their anger towards the actual problem. Many even still had the nerve to actually continue to complain after she was found dead saying “it was pointless than”.

If Riya was a white girl named Rebecca this sort of reaction would probably not have happened. If she was a white little girl people would have been all worried and calling her father a monster, writing think pieces on child abuse ect. These people lacked the empathy to be concerned over this little girl because she was brown instead of white girl. Some white woman even had the nerve to tweet there was no concern cause she was with her father.

I hope every ugly in the GTA who complained about this amber alert feels guilty. Because your one night of sleep being ruin is nothing compared to this girl’s life being taken away.

So the only all-bird rehab center in North Texas is about to shut down

I can’t even put into words how upset I am about this. Rogers Wildlife Rehabilitation has been open for almost twenty years, and is the only place in North Texas that takes in literally any type of bird if it’s been injured, orphaned, or otherwise incapacitated. They’re finally out of funds, and if they can’t come up with anything by April 2nd, they’re going to be forced to close their doors.

They’ve never turned away birds. Not when it’s a surprise 200 baby cattle egrets that’ve been orphaned because city planners thought they could cut down their homes and no one would notice. Not when it’s raptors with one good eye and in need of seven different antibiotics. Not even when it’s ducks that irresponsible parents won’t let their kids keep after easter. This is where anyone let me first get up close to birds. I mean, I’ve known I wanted to work with birds and wildlife since I was seven- I’m twenty four now, and halfway through an environmental science master’s and it’s a big reason I kept going.

I’ve been going to this place on and off for ten years, I was THIRTEEN when I started volunteering and seeing all the terrible things that happen to the birds that come in. Not just…hit by trucks, or caught in a hailstorm but parrots that have been left in foreclosed houses for weeks, and roosters that have come out of cock fighting rings and would otherwise be put down because the SPCA and humane societies don’t think they’re salvageable. There’s an emu that was raised there as a baby because no one wanted her. Her name’s Riley and I can’t even begin to comprehend what shutting the doors to the center would mean?

They don’t get government aid. They’ve been funded by the public donating and Kathy, the lady who owns the place, going through her retirement funds and savings and her social security to keep it running. She’s finally run out of money. Please,  just reblog? Even if you can’t donate anything- and I know it’s a lot to ask for poor teenage/college kids to donate money that they don’t have, or struggling artists I know but maybe someone who can spare something will see it eventually? They need $200,000 to keep open for a year to continue to help 4000 birds a year.

white people will cry over the death of a robot but will totally ignore the murder of an African American man who got shot by the police while he was sleeping.

His name was Willie McCoy and he was only 20.
