One by one, they pass my cage,
Too old, too worn, too broken, no way.
Way past his time, he can’t run and play.
They shake their heads slowly and go on their way.
A little old man, arthritic and sore,
It seems I am not wanted anymore
I once had a home, I once had a bed,
A place that was warm, and where I was fed.
Now my muzzle is grey, and my eyes slowly fail.
Who wants a dog so old and so frail?
My family decided I didn’t belong,
I got in their way, my attitude was wrong.
Whatever excuse they made in their head,
Can’t justify how they left me for dead.
Now I sit in this cage, where day after day,
Those younger dogs get adopted away.
When I had almost come to the end of my rope,
You saw my face…

A “shark‘s eye” view: Witnessing the life of a top predator
28 Feb 2014
Scientists at the University of Hawaii and the University of Tokyo are attaching sophisticated sensors and video cameras to sharks, giving them a “shark’s eye” view of the ocean and revealing new findings about how sharks swim and live in their natural environment. The new research is being presented at the 2014 Ocean Sciences Meeting co-sponsored by the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, The Oceanography Society and the American Geophysical Union.

Lioness dangles nine-week-old cub in her claws and she crosses river
Her jaws clamped firmly around the scruff of her tiny cub’s neck, this plucky lioness is taking no chances as she tackles a risky river crossing.
As her nine-week-old youngster dangles beneath her, the mother skips gingerly between impromptu stepping stones.
These stunning images capture the heart-stopping moment the lioness braved choppy waters, clasping her little one’s nape, as she made her way to join the rest of the pride on the other side of the river.
Amazingly, the cub escaped with only a sodden coat as its mother safely negotiated the fast-flowing waters of the Ntiakitiak River in Kenya’s Masai Mara game reserve.
Greek photographer Kyriakos Kaziras managed to capture the moment during a trip in December.

As far back as 1954, reports of the full or partial resolution of schizophrenia following a gluten free diet began to surface in the medical literature. We covered this remarkable pattern of associations in a previous article titled, “60 Years of Research Links Gluten Grains to Schizophrenia.” While the explanation for this intriguing connection has remained focused on the disruption of the gut-brain axis and the presence in wheat of a wide range of pharmacologically active and mostly opioid receptor modulating polypeptides, a new and possibly more disturbing explanation is beginning to surface: wheat consumption cuts off blood flow to the brain.
Starting with a 1997 case study published in the Journal of Internal Medicine involving a 33-year-old patient, with pre-existing diagnosis of ‘schizophrenic’ disorder, who first came to medical attention for severe diarrhea and…

Dear all,
We are asking as many people as possible to help sign the petition to stop ‘box type’ trailers being used in the EU to carry live animals.
Many people are completely unaware that when they pass trailers such as these on the highway, they are full of live animals.
There is absolute minimum, or no signage on the trailers to indicate that live animals are being transported. This can be a very major problem should the trailer become involved in a major accident which could effectively cause it to overturn – animals would be trapped and die, whilst probably, but through no fault of their own, rescue crews would be completely unaware that live animals are being transported and are in need of rescue.

Pensioner Stephanie Noble the council were “beyond heartless” in taking pony Grey Lady Too, who she has lived with since before Christmas 2011.
Council officers removed the animal in a horse box and handed the 67-year-old a letter saying they were going to seek a disposal order from a court.
Ms Noble, who lives in the Outer Hebrides, has promised to fight the legal action and said she “hates” the council for taking her beloved animal.
She said: “I am totally stressed out. They should have gone to court first. They have refused to tell me where they have taken her. It is just completely heartless – in fact beyond heartless.
“I feel raped, pilaged and burnt by this council. I hate their guts for what they have…

“Now granted, this is “Feel Good Sunday” but today we may have to dub this installment as “Feel Really Weird Sunday”. We’re sorry but this story is spreading like wild fire across the pond so we thought that we would share it with you here, in the good ole USA.
Now Terry and I enjoy spending about every waking moment with our equine companions, either we are out in the pastures with them, on the trails or even allowing them to come on into our human yard and graze while we work on landscaping and such (the pool IS off limits and we have a sign to remind them “No horses allowed beyond this point!”.
Likewise, Terry and I went to great expense to build the horses a first rate barn that not only offers them clean, comfortable shelter when inside but also affords them ample shelter when…

An elephant destroys a minibus after throwing its rider to the ground. Abey, an elephant 18 years and 4 tons broke loose during a polo tournament elephant in Sri Lanka.
A golden eagle attacks a cameraman during an annual hunting competition in Kazakhstan.
A rider gets gored a fighting bull during the sixth bullfight of the San Fermin festival in Pamplona.
We now have solid evidence that elephants are some of the most intelligent, social and empathic animals around—so how can we justify keeping them in captivity?

“He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God’s providence to lead him aright.” - Blaise Pascal. "There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily" – George Washington letter to Edmund Randolph — 1795. We live in a “post-truth” world. According to the dictionary, “post-truth” means, “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.” Simply put, we now live in a culture that seems to value experience and emotion more than truth. Truth will never go away no matter how hard one might wish. Going beyond the MSM idealogical opinion/bias and their low information tabloid reality show news with a distractional superficial focus on entertainment, sensationalism, emotionalism and activist reporting – this blogs goal is to, in some small way, put a plug in the broken dam of truth and save as many as possible from the consequences—temporal and eternal. "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." – George Orwell “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ― Soren Kierkegaard
