"Views about Consumption of Man's Best Friends for Food."

VIEWS ABOUT CONSUMPTION OF MAN’S BEST FRIENDS FOR FOOD.

 

“The last straw breaks the camel’s back.”

 It means the implication that even the most tolerant one will tolerate a limited amount of abuse.

“A man may bear ‘till his back break.”

“Too long burden makes weary bones.”

“When the well is full, it will run over.”

“The last drop makes the cup run over.”

“The cord breaks at last by the weakest pull.”

When will the last straw occur –as decay- in our natural environment?

I wonder WHEN the last straw will break the planet’s back, if things won’t change for the better in our natural life. Overpopulation will eventually kill the planet, and living species will face extinction.

We can’t deny the existence of our natural environment. We –humans- damaged it a great deal, and nature will eventually pass its bill to us…

The burden that Planet Earth endures is just too heavy to support for much longer time. Future generations might not see what we have left.

A tremendous change occurred with the industrial revolution, whereas it had taken all of human history until around 1800 for world population to reach 1 Billion. During the 20th Century alone, the population in the world has grown from 1.65 billion to over 7 billion.

Current world population today is over 7,200,000,000 people, and growing more every single day at this point in time…

Nowadays, China is the most populated country in the world with almost 1,400,000,000 (almost 1.4 Billion) people. It sounds too crowded.

India is the second one with 1,300,000,000 (1.3 Billion) people.

According to the most recent United Nations estimates, the human population of the world is expected to reach 8 Billion people in the Spring of 2024.

How will our Planet Earth support these huge numbers?

There are many issues in our world to think about before it’s too late.

There are many Non-Profit Organizations which are against Dog/Cat Meat Trade.

I’ll give you the Link to one of them, so that you may see for yourself through horrible graphic images that are performed to man’s best friends on daily basis without mercy. Actually, it looks like they really hate domestic animals. I really ask myself, WHY?...

Type in your Google Search the following words, then Click your Enter Key: SAYNOTODOGMEAT.NET

Volunteers show the world about their ending efforts to STOP THE DOG/CAT MEAT TRADE

round the world in that Website. Some folks practice the Worst Animal Cruelty in the World.

2 Million Dogs are slaughtered every year in ASIA countries, many more are stolen and tortured by illegal farmers. Every year around the world, an estimated 25 million dogs are killed for people to eat. They suffer appalling conditions throughout their short lives. Eating dog/cat meat is a cruel and abhorrent practice. Ending the dog/cat meat trade is our final goal.

DOGS and CATS ARE HUMAN’S BEST FRIENDS. What do you think about these issues?

Stop Dog/Cat Meat Trade Internationally. Stop Animal Cruelty! Stop Killing Dogs/Cats for Food in South Korea, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, and countries round the world which have MAN'S BEST FRIENDS in their MENU.

Look at these sad dogs, look at their eyes, and feel their emotional pain, because dogs know, smell, hear, feel that they are about to die the most horrible death, just like their cage friends in front of them. Butchers slaughter man's best friends in front of their cage mates.

These dreadful things are plain barbaric issues out of control. 

Only highly corrupted countries could do such dreadful things, not civilized ones.

I ASK THE WORLD VIEWS ABOUT THE CONSUMPTION OF MAN’S BEST FRIENDS.

PLEASE, IF YOU CARE, JOIN SPIRITUAL FORCES THROUGH PRAYERS, and SPEAK UP FOR THE VOICELESS ONES, SO WE MAY EVENTUALLY CREATE GLOBAL CHANGES FOR A BETTER WORLD FOR ALL LIVING SPECIES. Would you help them?...

The way I see it is the fact that if nobody cares, nothing will happen in the end…

The human race is so mindless of the suffering of others, particularly beings who are harmless. No wonder, suffering gravitates to our species.

The last thing these animals will ever see is a vile human’s face, pinched in a malevolent and sadistic sneer, their fists clutching their macabre tools of death.

The number of animals bred, raised, transported, and slaughtered for the human diet in some developed countries went up another billion last year.

I REMIND ALL OF YOU THAT 
EXTINCTION WILL BE FOREVER.

Until we write again.

On the Brink of Extinction. "NUNKI", the last Abaco "Barb" Wild Horse in the World.

On the Brink of Extinction. 
"NUNKI", the last Abaco "Barb" Wild Horse in the World.

Only one Abaco “Barb” Spanish Colonial Wild Horse left, "NUNKI."

Six decades ago, there were 200 or more wild horses on Great Abaco Island, Bahamas. These horses were the time-capsuled descendants of the horses that Christopher Columbus brought with him to the New World, at the end of the 15th Century. They are similar to their cousins, the Corolla Wild Horses of the Outer Banks in North Carolina. I'll write a brief history from a previous post...

"Spanish and Arabian/Barb horses were brought to the "New World" from the 1519 to mid-century. Horses were carried on the decks of Spanish ships and pushed overboard to swim ashore when the ships got near the shore. In a hostile environment, the Spanish settlers became ill and weakened, unable to care adequately for their livestock. North Carolina´s Outer Banks remained isolated for centuries and have been the last area of the State to be populated to saturation. This means there was little opportunity for adulteration of the Spanish blood line. The shallow sounds and marshes of the Outer Banks, while isolating and separating them from the mainland, were not impassible for young stallions traveling from island to island, gathering satellite herds and setting up new pasturage. Examinations by Veterinarians and horsemen, who are familiar with the Spanish-type horses, reveal too many similarities to ignore.

Our ongoing study of the Corolla herds provides DNA and data on behavioral and temperamental characteristics, which are common to them and to Spanish Barb/Arabian horses. The Corolla Wild Horses carry the distinguishing features of Spanish type horses. Their even temperament, endurance, size, and the startling beauty which crops up frequently in the Banker Horses all point strongly to their dramatic history.

These beautiful wild horses are the remnants of once numerous herds of Spanish stock which ran and roamed free along the pristine sandy islands of our coast of North Carolina. The Spanish Mustang Registry is satisfied that the Banker Horses, in particular the Corolla strain, are as lineally pure to the 16th Century Spanish importations as can be found in North America today."

The Abaco "Barb" Wild Horses lived independently and undisturbed until man disrupted the balance. All, but three were slaughtered in the early 1960s.

They came back to 35 animals by the mid 1990s. But, a hurricane pushed the horses out of their now destroyed forest habitat, where they had thrived for so long, into a lush and toxic citrus plantation that was hurricane-damaged and littered with chemicals, destroyed buildings, too-rich pastures, and poisonous plants.

It was the beginning of the end for the horses. Despite the best efforts of our team, the herd has been reduced to one mare, NUNKI.

The Wild Horses of Abaco Preservation Society, and Arkwild, Inc., need your help to turn this situation around. The world has stayed at arm’s length for long enough; it’s time to step up, to recognize what has been lost, and to save what is still here: the last mare, NUNKI, and her future offspring.

Our voices are the strongest weapon we have. Use it wisely to speak out, to become the voice of the voiceless, and inspire change.

Acts of kindness are the stepping-stones to making the world a better place to live. I am an animal lover and advocate. Can you help "NUNKI"?...I would.

UNTIL WE WRITE AGAIN.

Western Black Rhino Declared Extinct. Bad News!

Western Black Rhino Declared Extinct. Bad News!

This is terrible news for the animal world, extinction. Rhinos, one of the few giants has perished forever, because of human evil ways. Our voices, if you are an animal lover and advocate, are the strongest weapon we have. Use it, if you love animals, to speak out, to become the voice of the voiceless, and to inspire change. Extinction is forever. Now, these giants -rhinos- only dwell in Heaven.

London (CNN) -- Africa's western black rhino is now officially extinct according the latest review of animals and plants by the world's largest conservation network.

The subspecies of the black rhino -- which is classified as "critically endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species -- was last seen in western Africa in 2006.

The IUCN warns that other rhinos could follow saying Africa's northern white rhino is "teetering on the brink of extinction" while Asia's Javan rhino is "making its last stand" due to continued poaching and lack of conservation.

Rhino horn trade triggers extinction threat.

"In the case of the western black rhino and the northern white rhino the situation could have had very different results if the suggested conservation measures had been implemented," Simon Stuart, chair of the IUCN species survival commission said in a statement.

This update offers both good and bad news on the status of many species around the world

"These measures must be strengthened now, specifically managing habitats in order to improve performance, preventing other rhinos from fading into extinction," Stuart added.

The IUCN points to conservation efforts which have paid off for the southern white rhino subspecies which have seen populations rise from less than 100 at the end of the 19th century to an estimated wild population of 20,000 today.

Where animals go before extinction?...

The greed and selfishness of human beings is truly demonic. To have mass murdered these wonderful living beings for some chump change is, in essence, the history of our ignorant species. Look around! Open your eyes! What do you see but an ocean of hatred, exploitation, and a boundless ocean of misery. The only way out is intense spiritual practice.

May those who murdered these black rhinos reap the fruit of their evil ways.

The Human Race—the only species that screws its own species over for financial gain—is a CANCER upon the Earth.

No matter how much humans try to deny this subject, deep down we all know that humans are their own worst enemies. We are afraid, unwilling to tackle this problem head-on, because it will inevitably raise some very uncomfortable questions about our own way of living, and about how that is impacting on the planet. Mankind has made the ultimately fatal error: believing that they are invincible, and their self-importance above all other species that it shares this planet with. There is a defect within the human setup, no doubt.

What makes this even worse, is the fact that most people across the globe are aware of the threats posed, yet no one seems to be willing/ able to do anything. The way it is looks most certain it's going to be far and away the shortest reign ever, of any of the species that ever ruled this planet.

It's just a terrible shame that we have to take the other species down along with us.

Humans have made another species go extinct in the 

name of harvesting body parts for one reason or 

another. Will they do it for money to humans too?

The greed and selfishness of human beings is truly demonic. To have mass murdered these wonderful living beings for some chump change is, in essence, the history of our ignorant species. Look around! Open your eyes! What do you see but an ocean of hatred, exploitation, and a boundless ocean of misery.

The only way out is intense spiritual practice.

"If Tomorrow Never Comes."  Starry's Poem.

Catching every breath I deeply take,

And moving slowly into the rainbow,

I lie beneath the sunset

Watching the foam of sea waves rolling down.

If tomorrow never comes,

I'll hold no regrets behind,

I have found no lasting moments

To rest happily on my mind.

New places envision a new freedom

Venturing into gardens with open doors.

I step into the midst of hush

Where the lions roar and eagles soar.

I spread the wings of my soul

Writing a heartfelt creation.

My soul soars like an eagle

Bringing hope to others with my inspiration.
