Being an animal psychic must be fun. You get to make up whatever shit you want, because the animal can't speak for itself. I think it would be funny as hell to do this for a day, just to see people's reactions to me telling them, that their dog is very happy, loves his dog food, and likes the house he lives in very much. Of course, I'd reveal that I'm not a psychic afterwards, and give them they're money back, and tell them not to be so gullible.
People that bring their pets to a pet psychic, are on a whole new level above stupid. It's scary to see how many likes this message has received. How can people believe this shit?

I think most of these people are just amoral assholes (the psychics, not the people who believe in them, those are just gullible). But to lie to someone's face about something they care about, to accept their money for a false service....it's not crazy, it's sociopathic.
I think some of them salve their conscience by telling themselves they are giving people hope, believing in miracles, blah blah. But most are just utter con artists without a empathetic bone in their body, let alone a psychic one, lol.

Well I just contacted Cecil too, and he says he eats greedy ruthless psychics for breakfast. Checkmate? -_-

I would Like to see Karen in a 1-on-1 sit down with a live lion, so we can get his thoughts. Judging by Cecil's comments, lions seem very forgiving and zen like, so I don't see any danger.

Cecil contacted me to say that that Karen Anderson is a liar and a fraud, and that he said no such thing. If a court of law would recognize a dead lion's right to sue for libel, he would sue her in a court of law. Cecil was clear and unequivocal in saying that Karen Anderson never spoke with him, and that he would never speak with such a dishonest and disreputable person. He is completely and utterly disgusted by her lies said in his name. "If there were any justice in the world, she would be dead instead of me," said Cecil the lion.

If the psychic cared, you'd think she could telepathically relay a message to all animals that will be poached, tell them a place to hide, and save them from death.
I'm guessing that won't happen, because I'm thinking, she's full of shit.

Jeesh, I just spoke to my dead turtle, King Lettuce III. His words moved me to tears.
"DUDE, you should TOTALLY be an animal psychic. Dumb fucks will give you truckloads of money just for talking to their kittens. Wouldn't that be RAD?"
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
