Buddy the German Shepherd

The first dog in the United States to get Coronavirus; and was the first one to die of it. The circumstances were very tragic, not only because this was first dog to get it, but because it took multiple visits to three different veterinarians to find one who would test the dog for Covid-19. By the time Buddy's family got answers about what he had from the New York and Federal governments, one month had passed since the dog initially got sick. What should have taken about two to three weeks took a month to complete. He is a victim of the systematic Speciesism that tends to be quite prevalent in the U.S. government and the two mainstream political parties.

Buddy the German Shepherd is famous victim of systematic Speciesism that facilitated the spread of Covid-19. Just a question: Why hasn't Chuck Schumer, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Andrew Cuomo said anything about this? They should do something about this.

Laurent Duvernay-Tardif

The first active NFL player to become a medical doctor; and was the first player to opt out of the 2020 NFL season due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic. After graduating college, he petitioned the NFL to add M.D. on the back of his jersey. The league rejected, but this prompted a lot of criticism by fans and news writers.

Laurent Duvernay-Tardif chose to help his community during the Covid-19 pandemic, rather than play football during the 2020 and 2021 NFL seasons.

taxed to death

When people die as a result of not being able to acquire the resources they need to survive, because they lost a lot of money they needed when they paid off their taxes, which causes some people to go homeless and potentially die starvation, dehydration, and or severe illnesses that greatly impact their lives in a negative way.

People who get taxed to death tend to die in a very slow, painful manner. It is sad to see this issue is still very prevalent today.

Rush to Die Phenomenon

The tendency of a government to make policies and regulations that cause people to suffer and or die in larger numbers and or sooner rather than make policies that reduce people's suffering. This issue can be seen very frequently when the government is dealing with taxation, corruption, disease outbreaks, water and air pollution caused by hazardous waste, etc.

Hugo: The government keeps raising taxes every year, even though they know that large numbers of people may be driven into homelessness and may not be able to afford the resources they need to survive. This may lead to many people enduring unnecessary suffering. Why do they keep doing this every year?
Alan: Because many of our political leaders care more about their agenda than the actual needs of the people. They could have tried to make a new revenue source that does not rely taxes to generate income to help eliminate the need to raise taxes every year, but they are lazy and argue its unnecessary; when in fact it should have been done years ago. This issue is an example of the Rush to Die Phenomenon.

Tracking

1: When a person or another animal examines an area to see if there are any signs that people or animals have passed through it recently and try to figure out how many of them were there, what they were doing, and which way they went
2: When people monitor where a person or a particular object they are interested in, usually packages, is located
3: When an individual goes online to find more information about another person in order to understand them better. When they do this, they use publicly accessible information that does not require a people search website to get.

Ivan: Cisco, have you been tracking that package that supposed to be coming in this week?
Cisco: Yeah, I've been tracking it. It supposed to be coming on Thursday.
Ivan: Good to hear.

Hunting

1: When a person or another animal is going to kill another animal for food or as a trophy
2: When an individual goes online in order to find more information on another person, but unlike tracking, when an individual is hunting they are looking for information a person who does not know that individual is not supposed to have and they frequently use people search websites to acquire the information they are looking for

That tiger is hunting a group of wild boars that is feeding in the grassland up ahead.
