A Friendship That Transcends Boundaries



This is an amazing video. You can't help but be touched by the love between these two friends. Wow. Imagine what our world would be like if all of us treat one another the same way. Who says that animals are not sentient? They have feelings of love, friendship, loyalty, and trust. (Watch that tummy rub!) Sadly, we kill them for our own selfish reasons. Some people still kill elephants for their tusk. Just for the ivory and we destroy such a gentle loving creature! Yes, some countries kill dogs for meat. And how's that any different from any other animals, like a cow, a pig or a chicken? Let's spread the love and respect all life.

Thanks CBS for reporting this, and thanks to the friends of friends of my best friend who sent this to me.

Russia bans the hunting of baby seals

Whoo-hoo! Some good news to share: Russia has banned the hunting of baby seals in areas around the White Sea. Thank God, no more heartless and cruel killing of these harmless animals just so we humans can look good.

Honestly, how can we rationalize with our conscience that it's okay to wear the skins of murdered innocent animals? Imagine if it's our own skins? This reminds me of Nazi Germany when human skins were used to make lamp shades and who knows what else. As a race, we were horrified that the hair of Jews killed in experiments were used to make rugs, etc. So how can we condone the practice of killing animals just for aesthetics? I just can't get past that.

Hallelujah and God bless Russia for prohibiting this God-awful practice!
