Drive From Predator To Prey! Help Stop the Slaughter Of our Sharks!

Image
PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION  ON  YOUR SOCIAL NETWORKS! Every year, Discovery Channel’s Shark Week concludes its program with a familiar saying: “Sharks have more reason to fear us than we have to fear them.” This comforting thought – more people are killed each year by falling coconuts than by sharks – has never been so true. Sharks are being brutally slaughtered for their fins by the millions, and at this rate sharks soon will be functionally extinct. The butchery takes place at sea where fishermen haul sharks aboard to saw off their fins and then dump the still-living creatures back into the ocean. The finless sharks writhe to the ocean floor, where they die of suffocation or are eaten by other predators. This hack-and-run strategy known as “finning” allows fisherman to ditch relatively unprofitable meat and sail to port with their cargos filled only with shark’s fins, which can sell for up to $400 a pound as the key ingredient in shark fin sou...

When a Community Cares: The Happy Story of Molly and Whitey

Image
So have you ever wondered if there are ANY good people out there? And what about karma? Is there such a thing?   Read on!  Ok. First, here is Molly’s story. It starts out sad . . . Molly’s owner takes her to the Kentucky Humane Society SNIP clinic to be spayed. He lives near the clinic and knows she needs it! Sadly, he opens her carrier in the parking lot at the clinic to comfort her and scared Molly dashes out into the busy street. A truck drives over the top of her and rolls her and she runs away. Poor Molly! Now, here is Whitey’s story. A kind gentleman named Victor, who lives around the corner from the SNIP clinic, adopted a couple of Kentucky Humane Society Working Cat Program cats and set them up on his carport, providing food, water, and shelter for them. Over time, a new community cat arrives to eat and share their space. “Whitey,” as he calls her (she is white with black spots, after all!), needs to be spayed, so Victor contacts Alley Cat Advocates, borrows...

Image
In order to rid ourselves of the issues we keep hanging on to,   we must undergo the work of bringing them to the forefront, rooting them out and releasing them once and for all.    We must achieve and maintain Emotional & Mental Balance.   Why?  Because with Emotional & Mental Balance comes unconditional love.     The two are inseparable .  You can't have one without the other.    And just a quick FYI :  Achieving and maintaining this Emotional & Mental Balance is not  a one time effort.  No one can do it for you.  There is no magical, mystical "New Age"  cure or remedy.  There are no short cuts!   It all comes from good old fashion hard work!  Achieving and maintaining Emotional & Mental Balance  is a life time committment.   So how do We achieve this Emotional & Mental Balance?  By gaining understanding through actual expe...
