Joseph Meyer<p>Empathy: Dogs and Humans </p><p>Humans. I am also an adoptive parent of an adult human being. We adopted her as a newborn and have not subjected her to abuse. I know a lot about her family, because ours is an open adoption relationship where we and our daughter maintain contact with her birth family both in-person and electronically by phone and social media. There are signs of undiagnosed serious mental illnesses and substance use in several of our daughter’s biological relatives. My adult daughter is diagnosed with schizophrenia. One of my worries is what will happen to my daughter after I am gone. Unlike my dog, she will probably outlive me. Less than 5% of the population has a serious mental illness and those who do often have little economic or political power. They also receive little empathy or support in our society where inappropriate behavior often elicits abandonment or punishment. There are few rescue shelters, foster families, and often no funerals or memorial services for persons who die on U.S. streets where about 25% of homeless persons are estimated to have serious mental illnesses. Those with serious mental illnesses are also over-represented in prisons and on death row relative to the general population. About one-quarter of persons shot dead by U.S. police officers are killed in the midst of a mental health crisis while armed with a metal pipe, brick, sharp object, toy gun, or a real gun. There will be no outpouring of empathy in a formal police funeral or memorial service. The contrast with our empathy for dogs and other pets is striking to me.

Joseph Meyer<p>Empathy: Dogs and Humans </p><p>Dogs. I am an adoptive parent of an adult rescue dog. I occasionally toot photos of him and boost photos of other dogs on the Fediverse. I don’t know a lot about my dog’s life before he joined my family. But I suspect it was difficult. I know he was in a kill shelter, before being moved to a no-kill shelter, and was then adopted by my wife and I about two years ago. He has behavioral issues that seem like they might be related to past trauma, perhaps something like PTSD. He is friendly with our family members, but he is anxious and aggressive around other dogs and strangers. There is much empathy for him and other dogs in U.S. society as often displayed by me and others in photos on social media. There are rescue shelters and foster families for abandon dogs. There are even funerals and memorial services for heroic police dogs.

Leah kvetches all the time<p>With the white nationalist christo-fascists coup, you can expect to be turned away from most adoption agencies. They will either be privatized completely, along with CPS, or contracted out to right wing xian providers, who will turn away anyone who won't promise to completely disregard children's rights to be themselves regarding their gender, and their rights to choose their own spiritual path. </p><p>And if you're Jewish or Atheist or Muslim or Buddhist or Pagan? Forget it.
