Pygmy elephant calf desperately tries to wake up dead mother who was one of ten animals found poisoned
- A total of ten of the creatures have been discovered in the Gunung Rara Forest Reserve, Borneo, over the past three weeks
- Conservation officials believe the endangered animals had been poisoned
- Estimated to be fewer than 1,500 Borneo pygmy elephants in existence
- Again and again, the baby elephant nudged its mother’s head hoping desperately for a sign of movement.
If wildlife officials had not led the three-month-old infant to safety, it would probably have remained beside its mother until it, too, died.
'Great loss': A
three-month-old elephant calf attempts to wake its mother; one of ten
pygmy elephants found dead in Malaysia's Sabah state
Its distress moved the rescuers to tears, and left them desperate to discover who or what caused the tragedy.
In total, ten Borneo pygmy elephants have been found dead in three weeks at the Gunung Rara Forest Reserve.
The bodies were all near to each other and while poisoning appears to be the likely cause, it has yet to be determined whether it was intentional.
The animals still had their tusks, indicating that they had not been killed by poachers, and none had gunshot wounds.

Mr. Izumi Ishii-San
From Dolphin Hunting to Dolphin Watching
Mr. Izumi Ishii-San
From Dolphin Hunting to Dolphin Watching
Once one of the most outspoken advocates of the capture and killing of dolphins in Futo.
Izumi Ishii was a 3rd generation dolphin hunter, and is still a 6th generation fisherman. His father and grandfather taught him the ways of the sea. Taught him to fish, taught him to hunt.

Tear of the dolphin ~ Izumi Ishii
But Ishii-san has changed everything. "I
heard the sound of the dolphins crying as they were killed. I could not
bear it" he said in describing his reasons for converting from dolphin
killing to dolphin watching."The value I now see in dolphins is not the
value of their meat, but of the wonder they incite in us."
"I had been moved by the sight of pods of dolphins and sometimes forgot my job as a hunter even when I was hunting them. I would like to convey my excited feelings to people through dolphin watching." ~ Bluevoice.org
In 1997, Izumi Ishii reported to the authorities that the hunters were catching far more dolphins than their quotas allowed. There was no lawful penalty at the time for this over-catching of dolphins, but Izumi Ishii insisted to the Fishery Agency, Pref. Fishery Dept. and his own Fishermen Union, until penalties were created.

The dolphin hunting season in Japan runs from September until March, but Futo has not hunted dolphins since 2005. There are orders from aquariums, but still, they will NOT provide.
Izumi Ishii promised the dolphins and whales that he will protect them.

Oklahomans DO NOT KILL AND EAT THEIR HORSES and WE DO NOT KILL AND EAT THEM ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE UNITED STATES! If SB375 passes, it will repeal the existing Oklahoma State law which prohibits anyone from possessing, transporting, selling or consuming horse meat— making horse slaughter and human consumption of horse meat legal for the first time since 1963 in the State of Oklahoma. This bill is scheduled for a second reading in the Agriculture and Rural Development Committee on February 5th, 2013, so please TAKE ACTION!
SIGN THE PETITION which will be delivered to Sen. Ron Justice (OK-23), Sen. Eddie Fields (OK-10), The Oklahoma State House, The Oklahoma State Senate, and Governor Mary Fallin:
http://signon.org/sign/
CONTACT government officials. Email, Fax, Phone, Post on their FB pages. Let them know the vast majority of Americans are against horse slaughter and we do not want horse slaughter, or anything to do with it, in the state of Oklahoma.

TOKYO—Japan's
prime minister, Shinzo Abe, pressed ahead with his priority of shutting
down the whaling and dolphin programs. At an unscheduled meeting, Prime
Minister Abe mentioned “These steps will put Japan firmly in this
century and we can leave this embarrassing behavior in our past”. Vowing
for quick action to pull the country out of these programs, different
meetings are scheduled so Japan can live up to global standards within the year.
Prime minister Abe appeared in a t-shirt of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, the leading organization in the fight against the whaling and dolphin programs in Japanese territorial waters and the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary in Antarctica. Former president of Sea Shepherd, Mister Watson, who recently stepped down, has not yet responded to the news.

Vegan diet and the flu epidemic
The flu epidemic has invaded 48 states, overwhelming medical facilities, exhausting vaccine supplies and killing 29 children and thousands of seniors. Both the problem and solution to this disaster hinge on how we relate to animals raised for food.
Indeed, 61 percent of the 1,415 pathogens known to infect humans originate with animals. The more recent, contagious and deadly viruses among these include Asian, dengue fever, Ebola, H5N1 (bird), HIV, SARS, West Nile Virus and yellow fever. The pandemic “Spanish” flu of 1918 killed 20 million to 50 million people worldwide, and the World Health Organization predicts more pandemics in the future.
Today's factory farms are virtual flu factories. Sick, crowded, highly stressed animals in contact with contaminated feces and urine provide ideal incubation media for viruses. As these microbes reach humans, they mutate to defeat the new host's immune system and then propagate by contact.
Each of us can help end animal farming and build up our own immune system against the flu by replacing animal products in our diet with vegetables, fruits and whole grains. These foods don't carry flu viruses or government warning labels, are touted by every major health advocacy organization and were the recommended fare in the Garden of Eden.

This little guy/girl swam up to me after his/her Mom had approached me.
Apparently mother manatees are very protective of their young;
so best to not approach them...let them come to you which is best
with regard to all manatees as you would not want to be swiped by
their tail flukes if they become frightened.
