This is the heart-wrenching moment a three-month-old pygmy elephant calf tried to wake its dead mother, apparently after being poisoned by villagers whose trying to protect their crops. The saddest thing is that the forest are disappearing which cause these animals to wander out to find food for their survival. It will not happen if humans are not destroy their ecosystems. Humans keep taking their areas and they have nowhere else to go and get food from. This is sickening. Shame on the human race :((

I don’t hold animals superior or even equal to humans. The whole case for behaving decently to animals rests on the fact that we are the superior species. We are the species uniquely capable of imagination, rationality, and moral choice – and that is precisely why we are under an obligation to recognize and respect the rights of animals.

Brigid Brophy (1929–1995)

As long as people will shed the blood of innocent creatures there can be no peace, no liberty, no harmony between people. Slaughter and justice cannot dwell together.

Mungkin mereka akan marah, atas exploitasi hewan dan tumbuhan yg kaumku lakukan. Dan, selama ini kami menyebut diri kami manusia, yg mengaku punya akal budi. Ciptaan yg paling tinggi ? Dan kami menyebut diri kami manusia & menganggap diri kami lebih dari binatang-binatang yang aku dengar ceritanya. Di mana kenyataannya, kita hanyalah para egois, perampok, penjajah, pembunuh. Inilah manusia ! Mahluk ciptaan paling tinggi.

Buku Catatan: Punah atau Mati?

sagitaninta:

Punah tidak sama dengan mati. Punah itu lebih mengerikan. Sebuah video yang aku lihat di TED hari ini sangat mengguncangku. Pertama kalinya setelah sekian lama aku getol memperjuangkan konservasi makhluk hidup, aku mengerti arti kata punah.

Punah tidak hanya mati. Punah artinya hilang. Hilang.

Untuk kesekian kalinya saya sadar kalau kata adalah media yang kita gunakan untuk menyakiti orang lain, dan bahkan diri kita sendiri.
hal inilah yang terus mengganggu saya. Betapa kata bisa sebegitu menyesakkan dada saya dibandingkan dengan goresan silet yang saya tahu persis rasa perihnya. Kita bisa lupa bernafas karena memikirkan setiap detail kata yang kita dan orang lain ucapkan. Dan naasnya, apa yang kita pikirkan sebegitunya, belum tentu benar adanya.

Kata siapa, semua kalimat yang saya, anda, mereka ucapkan memang benar dari hati? hanya Tuhan yang tahu. Karena saya tahu pasti, walaupun kita yang membuat dan merangkai kalimat-kalimat itu, belum tentu kita tahu apa yang sedang kita lakukan.

Tashiro-jima (or Tashirojima), 田代島, is a small island in Japan. It has become known as “Cat Island” due to the large stray cat population that thrives as a result of the local belief that feeding cats will bring wealth and good fortune. The cat population is now larger than the human population on the island.

Reblogging again because it’s so purrrrfect.
