Can you believe that this remarkable rhino is being poached in our country just because some idiot one day decided to say it cured him of cancer!!! Whoever you are, all I can say is "May you die a slow, painful death where every blood cell in your body explodes one by one and you decompose from the inside"
I feel that it is a privilege to be in the presence of something so magnificent! My eyes filled with tears as I sat watching him and his herd and thought of the 200 + massacres which have taken place over the past year... I cannot seem to understand how we as creatures of the same earth can take another creature for granted???
Like I said in my previous post, I am ashamed to be apart of these so called humans!!!
The sky has many personalities and beautiful qualities which I consume every time I stare with envy.

And to know that we are destroying our planet with so many harmful things!
When I got up at 5am to take this picture I rushed my husband to take me to the open land (he wasn't very impressed- bless him for putting up with me) and I felt like if I miss this, it might be a while before I get to see another, as every one is unique. We are exceptionally lucky in SA to have breathtaking sunsets and sunrises. We all take these things for granted unfortunately, and one day we might not be able to experience such beauty, unless we all stand together and change our habits!
From wild to domestic...This is my beautiful adopted child Grace. Can I ask you to look at her markings and see how perfect she is? Now I ask you again... How can someone choose to hurt this creature who has been created with such perfection?
I am always preaching to people about adopting animals and not buying from backdoor breeders, puppy mills and pet shops. Imagine my face when someone tells me they believe their pet should have a chance to experience motherhood, you might as well have told me the earth is flat... I begin to do calculations in my head about how rapidly those 4 puppies/kittens will find homes, and there owners have the same idea and in 4 years time, there will be about 130 more puppies/kittens just from that first litter. Hopefully many of them will be in good homes, but most of the time those poor souls end up on the street, neglected and eventually in the pound where they will await their fate. I just cannot justify the ignorance!!!
Lastly, thank you to my friend for this delicious picture :)
There are so many alternatives to eating animals, I will continue to encourage you to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Not only for you but for the planet... we only have one, so lets protect it and change the way we think!
Peace and love for all living creatures
Beauty of this earth is a constant reminder for me as to why i was put on this planet...i was put here as a person in society to stand up for justice, fairness and freedom - just like others did in other human practices...
ReplyDeleteThe difference is that we need to fight for the desperate and that is the unspoken worded animals of this earth.
Fight for justice and keep up the good work, because with those pictures you might be able to show the true meaning of life.
Kindness and Hope :)
