I also like cats.

Prefer dogs to humans? You're not alone (or unbalanced)
By Erica Goode Published: July 6, 2008

NEW YORK: Humans are an overrated species, or so Leona Helmsley apparently believed.

She briefly considered giving some of her real estate billions to other humans - indigent people, to be specific - but later changed
her mind, leaving instead up to $8 billion in a charitable trust solely for the care and welfare of dogs. She favored her Maltese,
Trouble, over her family, providing $12 million for the dog in her will, a lot more than she left her grandchildren.

Predictably, the news of the extent of Helmsley's charitable bequest was greeted last week with outrage about misguided priorities
and jokes about a wealthy woman so arrogant, imperious and ill-tempered that only a canine could abide her.

But Helmsley, though richer and crankier than most, was hardly the first person to deem the companionship of dogs or other pets more
gratifying than that of people, raising the question of how common such sentiments are and whether they represent a reasonable
choice in a world of fickle and unpredictable two-legged creatures, or evidence of some deep-seated psychological disturbance.

The field of psychotherapy has traditionally viewed those whose closest relationships are with animals as somehow lacking, their
affections pathologically misplaced, their devotion a symptom of their inability to forge healthy connections with the humans around
them.

But in recent years, researchers have begun to take far more seriously the bonds between humans and animals and to evaluate those
relationships in a more positive light.

Verdighan, accompanied by two maids and a lap-dog, with another maid
for the lap-dog,* entered a drawing-room on a Pullman, and a few
minutes later was speeding west.

We prefer birds to humans - we do not much like dogs though.
However you are one human we actually do quite like.
There are many many other species that are preferable to humans.
Do you believe there are such people as Elves?
What about sentient intelligent life on other worlds who you may call
"aliens"?
There are many many others Sir Frederick - and with many we have most
enjoyable time whereas with humans we had miserable time.
One day maybe - in the course of eternity - we may show you Elves - and you
may listen to their music - and then you will say
"I did not know music could be like this?" and then we will take you to
Sirens or Spheres and you will say "Well I certainly did not know music
could be like THIS!" and then we will take you to many other places - where
there are so many different kinds of music according to different species
and intelligence and you will be so surprised at how diverse and interesting
other life is apart from humans.
You may also partake of various beverages where they do this kind of thing -
and you may find some that you prefer to coffee!
We have a lovely one that we brought with us from another world - it is
white/vanilla in colour and is much nicer than either tea or coffee. ...

THE BORG is another word used instead of Angels.
In other words if you view Angels as nasty buggers - then that is your
choice.
Our views are as ANGELS - and not humans.
Thus indeed the love the Father...

We have actually stated on 53 different occasions that THE BORG are another
way of saying Angels.
We offer publicly now the PROOF of human stupidity that they have not yet
registered this point.
And again we state how a dog with a repeat statement of 53 occasions WOULD
register and thus we offer again that the dog is more intelligent than the
human.
THE BORG

You should visit where we are and our world sometime Sir Fred.
We live with nature and the wild and with the beauty of creation - there are
no humans in our world.
In our Collective mind we can see and speak with many others on Earth -
those who humans dismiss as inferior or "animals and creatures" - humans
have no idea of who they are - what they think or how they exist.
The wonderful balance and harmony of existence - as all nature and creation
live within this wonderful harmony is very beautiful. Humans are the ones
who are "out of sync" with their creation of litter and filth and their
bullying and violence and the suffering they cause to nature and the life
that exists there.
A few birds in the morning can create art of complete perfection and beauty
where they "sense" perfect timing and they can lift your heart and spirit.
Humans create garbage and crap that they call "art" and they say how others
must "learn to appreciate" their garbage and crap - well no thank you Sir.
We do not wish to spend time "learning to appreciate" filth and shit and
pornography and ugliness - and neither probably do you - and this would be
one of many reasons why you also conclude that humans are not a likeable
species.
But you are not alone - as you dismiss humans and leave humans - thus you ...

You will find we are very powerful Sir Fred - a lot more powerful than
humans know.
When we said we had rescued and saved nature FROM man - indeed we did.
You have to learn of the Spirit and how we did this.
Of course we are on the side of the little birds in cages - the suffering
little ducks - the imprisoned horses - the castrated and unnatural lives of
"pets" - the little animals on the laboratory tables - the little fish - the
empty oceans - the trees and all nature.
How on Earth do you think any great Universal power would EVER visit Earth
and be on the side of humans with these kind of atrocities and suffering
occurring?
Yes indeed this is a visit from God - the Creator - Angels - matters not
what you call us or how you term us - God + Angels is only a human religious
term derived from a Jewish religious story and no one else views us in this
way.
The idea that God would visit humans and trash them in order to save animals
and creatures and nature FROM them would never occur in their hubris pompous
ignorant brains would it?
A visit from God or the Creator would be BOUND to do with humans eh?
HA HA. ...

If you learn to actively hate humans the way we do - you will find it far
preferable to be with nature and Angels and God and much other life and
intelligence.

The hate of the Divine toward humans causes the diseases and suffering and
cancers and death that humans have - but this is a very very small feeling
compared to the love of the Divine toward animals and creatures and much
other alien life and indeed us Angels that do exist who do NOT cause
suffering to others and who tend and care and love all around rather than
trash and pollute and create filth and bulldoze and bully helpless animals
and creatures that have no defense.

That although the hatred is only very small - humans en masse in no way have
or experience the "love". And when you see and visit worlds where they do
have the "love" and see how they do not suffer - and how happy they are -
and how beautiful their worlds and existences are - then you will learn and
then you will know.
