“For us, warriors are not what you think of as warriors. The warrior is not someone who fights, because no one has the right to take another life. The warrior, for us, is one who sacrifices himself for the good of others. His task is to take care of the elderly, the defenseless, those who can not provide for themselves, and above all, the children, the future of humanity.”

Here is the next installment from Tony Twist's Loop the Loop - a bull.
I went for a different limb style on this - I think it makes a rather cute bull calf in the sitting pose. I didn't think about it at the time I took the picture, but it now prompts these quotes from Sitting Bull, and though I've done my best to avoid political commentary on this blog - it bears some mention here.
Sitting Bull was a Sioux holy man, who led a resistance movement against the American incursion, later made the "Supreme Chief of the Whole Sioux Nation". He was killed at Standing Rock Indian Reservation in an attempt to arrest him, site of the Dakota Access Pipeline movement. Taken from the Wiki:
On January 24, 2017, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to advance the construction of the pipeline under "terms and conditions to be negotiated," expediting the environmental review that Trump described as an "incredibly cumbersome, long, horrible permitting process." On February 7, 2017, Trump authorized the Army Corps of Engineers to proceed, ending its environmental impact assessment and the associated public comment period.
“What treaty that the whites have kept has the red man broken? Not one.”
