In a year now past - of troubles and turmoil, so many loved ones across the globe have sacrificed their lives for the freedom and safety of others. It is time for the world to shed hatred, deceit, pain and suffering on others. Consideration of cultural values, ethics and moral rights need to be understood. Invasion of lands, personal space and the feelings of others are not to be trodden on - for the sake of greed and personal gain.

We are not living in the dark ages; we are a modern and evolving race who fully understand the consequences of overpowering and manipulating others - societal habits, businesses and countries who are set on sucking our planet dry for their own benefit, obliterating other species and all that is good in the world.

Now is the time to think - how does your presence in another’s life, affect them? How can I pick up the broken pieces of this world and make it better? We maybe one small snail existing among the great and powerful, but a band of caring snails can restore our garden of Eden.

Make this the first day for change!

Thank you, Nathan! (Nathan Angelo)

Our friends are highly intelligent.  They save us, protect us, swim beside us, alert us of danger and yet, we are their biggest threat and their only hope.

In a Japanese village called Taiji, also known as 'The Cove',
dolphins are a hunted target, for a six-month long fishing season.
The fate of dolphins captured, are held in captivity for use in 
ill-equipped amusement parks, for display aquariums
and the remainder are slaughtered for meat.  

Although the Japanese Fisheries Agency have strict quoters in place, regular abuse of the regulations takes place.

The only hope for our friends, is if we step in to put an end to this practice.

It is a sad day for the people of Ukraine and indeed the rest of the world watching on, as Russia - yet again, demonstrates its distaste in the existence of the human race.

War on such a level, not only endangers the Ukrainian region and its closest neighbours, but puts at risk - like CoVid - the rest of the world. To let loose such devastating weaponry on any country and their population is a direct violation of the Geneva convention and yet, the world watches on as if this will never affect them directly.

Covid was airborne, and the world thought it would never grow and spread to the scale it has; now it is too late, and we must all live with the consequences of no one stepping in to regulate overuse and abuse of research in the name of human growth and advancement. Admittedly, the world has come to the decision that the pandemic came about by human error and by all accounts was a mistake, but we are paying a very high price.
​
The release of thermite rain bombs​ on Ukraine will be just as insanely dangerous to the human race when it enters our water system. Our world has no idea what this will do to the planet when it is used in such high concentrations and whether or not the planet and its inhabitants, will ever recover. Do we have to wait until it affects all of us before the UN council and world leaders take a stand against Russia?

This is no accident or mistake governed by human error. This is blatant disregard for human life and violates rights of all beings, residing on this planet. We cannot wait any longer. A year or more of unwarranted suffering to a country of people just minding their own business, is ludicrous.

Racist annihilation of Jews in WW1 very much comes to mind - this is no different. Have we not learned from the mistakes of past errors? Are we not above such petty arguments of dictatorships wanting to rule the planet? ...who by all accounts, should never be left to their own devices.
​
This war serves no purpose. It weakens Russia's ability to look after itself - pushes Russia into a corner where no one will ever want to deal with them again and therefore their ability to survive is nil. Russia, therefore, feels it has no other choice than to use condemned war tactics against Ukraine in order to 'win'... Whether or not it survives is irrelevant to government, only saving face and winning is now on the cards.

Russia feels it has lost too much 'face' and can only be 'heroic' in the eyes of its people if it annihilates Ukraine.
Poor Ukraine however, in wanting to stop their suffering, requests more and more global assistance, which they should have. Yet, it only extends the war and suffering on their people. Ukraine is no less deserving of a peaceful life than the rest of us. Why should the world carry on as if it doesn't affect them?

Global leaders should have put a stop to this, months ago - way before any of this pain and suffering came about. This is not 1914; it is 2023 and we should know better! Such playground bullies have no rights on our planet and should not be given preferential treatment, just because dealing with them is difficult. They will only grow to become more difficult to manage in the long run. They must learn to grow and respect all beings - including their own people, for whom they show little regard.

It's time to take a stand - this war has to end. Enough is enough!

There is no doubt about it - something is definitely amiss in Mother Nature and we with CoVid, are not the only victims. 
It seems migratory birds in White Sands, New Mexico have been dropping like flies - hundreds of bird carcasses line the hills and this is not the only place.  Colarado, Arizona, Texas, Dona Ana County, Jemez Pueblo, Socorro and Roswell - the list is growing and the anomaly seems far more wide spread than avian biologists have ever seen. 

Reasons for this devastating sight appears to be unknown - other than there being very little water and food available in the area. Birds of varying species have been affected, but strangely local birds in the region have not been affected.  

Caring for our neighbours is far more broad than we can ever imagine.  Keep an eye out in your region.  Report all unusual fauna deaths to your local bio-security or DPI authority.
