It's easy to decide, but for some it's hard to change the "routine".

You just need to know more and to re-discover the word, with all his new colors and guilt free.

Now you can finally say that you love animals. :-)

80% of the world’s fish stocks are either fully or over exploited. In 2006 around 82 million tonnes of fish were caught from the oceans, with a further 10 million tonnes caught from inland waters. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) projects an increase in fish consumption of 40 million tonnes by 2030. A four year study published in the journal

In addition to dwindling fish stocks, the biodiversity of the oceans are being lost too. Coral reefs, “the rainforests of the sea”, are dying at an unprecedented rate, averaging a loss of 600 square miles per year, (or 1% of the total), since the late1960s. Tropical and subtropical coastal mangrove systems, vital for healthy coral reefs, are being felled and converted to ponds for prawns and shrimps destined for the Western market. 20% of the world’s mangrove systems have been lost since 1980.

Second Life

Because Everything can live for ever, or longer, change shape and function. Challenging ourselves is a good way to have a more original house/office to live and help the environment at the same time. I rather prefer this lamp to all that Made In Crap all the same plastic products. Well Done White Elephant!

Facts Part I (Mutilation)

Calves can be subjected to a range of painful mutilations. Male calves have traditionally been castrated. In the uk, three methods are used; a rubber ring or other device is used to restrict the flow of blood to the scrotum within the first week of life; so-called "bloodless castration" by physically crushing the spermatic cords and surgical castration, both usually carried out within 2 months of birth. All three methods cause acute pain. Under these conditions, there is no legal requirement for an anaesthetic to be used or a vet to be present.

Calves are often disbudded to prevent their horns growing, or are dehorned in later life. Both procedures are painful and stressful. Disbudding involves applying a heated iron to the horn buds of young calves up to about 2 months old. If carried out within the first week, the law does not require an anaesthetic to be used. Dehorning involves cutting off the older animal's horns using a saw, horn shears or cutting wire, and cauterising the exposed blood vessels. Mercifully, an anaesthetic is required by law.

Some female calves are born with one or more extra (supernumerary) teats, which are often removed using surgical scissors.
