聖誕節前後，數以千計的耶穌誕生場景裝飾教堂、城市中心和家庭，本著和平善意祝福大眾。
大多數的特色是可愛的農場動物聚集在馬槽中，神聖家庭周圍：牛、馬、綿羊、山羊、雞等。
諷刺的是，這些正是飽受剝削摧殘的動物，平時困在籠裡，經常受到恐嚇虐待，甚至肢解殺害，一切皆包裝成「及時行樂」，「豪氣干雲」。
未敢相信耶穌或上帝會贊成這種暴行； 任何人亦都不應該認同。
恭祝 眾生聖誕平安！
Thousands of Nativity Scenes now grace the nation’s churches, civic centers
and homes in the spirit of peace and goodwill to all.
Most feature adoring farm animals gathered around the Holy Family in
a manger: cattle, horses, sheep, goats, chickens, et al.
Ironically, these are the very same animals exploited in the nation’s
rodeo arenas throughout the rest of the year, where they are routinely
terrorized, brutalized, crippled and often killed, all in the name of a
bogus, macho “entertainment.” Does not compute.
I can’t believe that either Jesus or God would approve. Nor should anyone
else.
Season’s Greetings, to humans and non-humans alike.
