it is the third of February.... and I still didn't get a letter from you? You said you would send a letter right away after the one of the 11th of January. I didn't see it .. yet...
I hope all is well with you? You got the news Lynn is born? She was born on the 21st of January! Weighed 3,710 kilos and measured 51 centimeters; that is about half a meter. She is a healthy little girl!!
A letter of mine came back, because of 20 cent too less on a envelope. It is sent back to you.
Dear Michael Lucas, I just read your blog "Warzone to warehouse" and I take my hat off to the clarity with which you are able to describe prison politics, prison life and your journey through it, after all these years. I want to share some thoughts with you on the animal issue you brought up at the end of it. I am living in Europe and you have heard the same thing from a Tunisian refugee living on the streets here (the dogs are treated better than us). I also remember that a German shepard has by law the right of more square meters than a asylum seeker in Germany. And while I am not, as you are not, pleading for a bad treatment of animals, how we treat our fellow humans and how we allow them to be treated is a shame. But you know, animals are easily mastered and don't talk back, at least not in a language we understand properly, human beings are more difficult and complex. I sometimes wonder if the history of colonialism doesn't kick in with this item too, saving animals as being the old saving non-Europeans from themselves. I hope this note finds you in good health and spirit and I hope you can leave this prison system soon. Take care and wish you best, Julia
