All Creatures Great and Small

Jump to new
One small well known rodent is in danger of disappearing altogether. The lemming, which used used to fluctuate in about four year cycles from near extinction to plague proportions, could soon be no more. Apparently climate change is the culprit.

Their demise will also affect their predators which include the fox and the snowy owl.
 
We have all been told not to flog a dead horse, now the jockeys are encouraged not to flog live ones.
But apparently they still can if within 100m of the winning post. Looks like the authorities are taking an each way bet on this one.
 
Battling through the financial blogs, doing a bit of a catch up, and came across these photos on the Naked Capitalism blog.

Apparently from January 2009 during one of the heatwaves.

Photos captioned thus:
At 120 degrees in Australia this January, it was so hot that koalas were asking people for water

For what reason does a human being kill another living organism? For food? For clothing? For pleasure? For money? Any human is capable of the actions in this following video. Be warned. It shows animals alive after being skinned.

Cover my face as the animals die.

 
Some footage then of a female leopard behaving maternally toward a baby baboon was incredible.

The female leopard had caught and killed a mother baboon and while carrying the dead mother baboon up a tree, the baby baboon fell onto a branch. The female leopard then carried, licked, nuzzled and played with the baby baboon as if it were a leopard cub.

Although she had never bore leopard cubs, the maternal instinct was more overwhelming than her senses of vision, hearing and smelling. Amazing stuff.
 
My instinct is to ask you not to post this sort of cruelty (and I haven't even watched the video: the thought is enough to make me sick), but then if awareness is not spread about these vile practices nothing will ever change.
Just so, so horrible.
