Not my problem
I'm taking a week off caring.Whatever happens, anywhere, to anyone except me - atrocities, crimes against humanity, palm oil in peanut butter, broken hearts, stubbed toes even - not my problem.
Just for a week. See how it goes.
No man is an island - but for a week, I am going to be an island
Ask not for whom the bell tolls - but I will assume it is tolling for someone else, because my pulse is still ticking away strongly
I have draped an SEP* field over the whole world. Who's with me? (not that I care whether you are or not. Not my problem
)*read your Douglas Adams **
**seriously. Very funny chap.

A caring person is just a caring person.
Just about to put up a dancing blog.
But, the reality is that there is little anyone can do anyways.....
look at the rhino horns and elephant tusks illegal trade, animals that are close to becoming extinct
and protected with heavy penalties risked to poachers if caught i.e shot on the spot. But its not enough
to stop it happening the ivory is worth more in weight than gold on the black market and people are walking about hungry with starving kids at home so whos right and who is wrong. that woman probably paid to hunt , animals are reared for this purpose, its a strange old world we live in I wouldn't let it get you down because the list goes on and on .
Most people are very confused.
Next week.
What do you think of endangered spieces being reared on ranches in Texas to the point they are thriving
then a limited number are hunted for this trophy sport by people who pay big money to do so and the ranch owners say this money pays for the rest of the herd, get your head around that if you can. have a week off
You mentioned ivory in your earlier post, now there's an irony - elephants are immensely destructive,will knock down a whole tree to get a leaf, then amble away, and they breed relatively quickly. A cow elephant may take 2 years to actually pop her baby, but she's doing so for forty years. That's 20 elephants from one. Young bulls can get quite mean and go on the rampage, and an old bull can be downright lethal and HAVE to be shot. Every now and then the wild herds do need to be culled, too. Selling that ivory would help the fight for conservation, but there's no longer a market for legal ivory. I'm told there are whole warehouses with tusks which can't be sold for love nor money.
