I found this really inspirational video about people who untangled a whale from fishing net that weighed the poor creature down so much that it was nearly dead. Whales are some of my favourite animals on this planet. I have dreams about them quite regularly, and love to visit them when I am near the ocean. It's also one of the powerful reasons I do not eat fish. This industry causes so much suffering, and I would like to see an end to it one day. Let's not even get into the whale hunters. 
Yes, I know that people all around the world have relied on fish as a staple in their diet, but you know what? Things can change. We evolve. Funny thing about fruits and vegetables, nuts and seed- they can grow almost anywhere if we turn our attention to creating that. Humans are amazing innovators, and we can adapt to many different lifestyles, so let us grow our own food and teach that to our kids.
How is it possible that we have let ourselves be enslaved by giant multi-billion dollar corporations like Monsanto who control our food systems?? Patenting seeds, and now human genomes? How can corporations claim ownership over something they did not create? I am pretty emotional today. I truly wish this world was more peaceful. I will continue my efforts in spite of the way things are. Please join me.
Thanks for that beautiful film. Pure animal joy and so infecting!
ReplyDeleteBut one word to your comment about the fruits and vegetables, nuts and seed- that can grow almost anywhere...
I do live in UK where it is still cold, wet and chilly and all the nice greens and fruits have to be imported from around the world. Locally one couldn't survive as vegan. And I don't want talk about the prize one has to pay for that stuff. I think, this is why many people cane make a decision to the greener lifestyle.
