The orangutan defending his home from the heavy machinery

Your both correct Hola and Plan B.     I hate to think what this planet is coming to.

The reason they are cutting down the Orangutans homes is so they can plant more palm oil trees. So lets STOP buying anything with palm oil in it.  The reason palm oil is used is it is the cheapest, it extends the shelf life a product, but it is the worst oil for you.  Did you know that a large percentage of Nuttella is palm oil.

Lets start reading labels folks and boycott anything with palm oil in it.

Lets start saving the Orangs habitat.

Did you ever see "The Planet of the Apes" Celia?  I expect that's what woud happen if the Apes took over.

Yes Hola, didn't like the movie much though, did you?  

There was a photo in the media last week of a Chinese town that had been left, everyone had gone to the city to work, it showed how nature had taken over all the buildings, I should have copied and pasted it here.   It was not a jungle just plain ordinary grass and weeds.

Reminds me of a train journey I did in the USA through their countryside where nature had taken over homes and derelict buildings by the railway lines.

The world would spin happily on without humans. Our domesticated animals would be in trouble for awhile but the air would become clean, the trees would grow and the earth would flourish again.

We are in plague proportions - we are the problem.

Thanks Plan B.

It is amazing to watch.

Yes Celia sure would be frightening even though you would be living in the fear of it but hoping it never happened -- -- the Island will be a different place now -- with more hills and so many fertile areas with the stuff from the volcano, I just hope no one gets hurt.

And don't forget Guatamala where people have died in the latest volcanic eruption not just lost houses.

Yes that was horrific KSS.  Very frightening and it looks if volcanic erruptions are on the increase.    Last year I was reading about Yellowstone National Park apparently the whole park is a vulcanoe that they say is time it errupted, it is a super vulcanoe to boot.

I cannot help thinking all this underground atomic testing has something to do with the waking of these volcanoes.

Very interesting Celia

An Australian hylaeus bee.

Yes - it is hard to listen to the mother's cry echo across the valley when their calf is taken away. Yet if we didn't domestic the cow I would imagine it would be facing extinction like the Orangutan.

I have often said I could not be a farmers wife, my husband says he could never be a farmer!    Just could not handle the cruelty of farmer.  Very sad.

The Whale Museum in Eden is so interesting -- see all about it here also that area of NSW is so very interesting and also beautiful

Plan B

Yes that is from a farm in New Zealand Farm .... it happens in Australia too.

Yes Suze -- and the way these poor little trusting Animals are treated is despicable 

morrowj -- you may very well be right

Yes dead right Celia, and the egomaniacs that run the world are sending us into oblivion

It makes one wonder Celia,  as to how do the Rabbits know this and how come they have been eating these forever -- and I always fed them to my Rabbit when I had one -- same as now they say Dogs should not be fed so many things -- I always had Dogs and they were always healthy and lived a good life but they ate vegs/meat and aslo meat with onion also dried food and also chocolate as well they loved ice cream and many other things that we are now told not to feed them -- one of my Dogs used to adore Mr. Whippy and I told the bloke -- if I am not here you can give her one and I will give you the money when you see me -- this little smart Dog used to lie in the middle of the Culdsack   so as he could not leave TILL she got her ice cream  -- when I saw him I owed him almost $20 -- another Dog I had as a Kid used to go to the corner shop on its own just after the war -- when things were rationed -- and it used to sit up on the Arrnots chair and would not leave till it got a bit of biscuit -- we used to be ale to buy broken biscuits sometimes.   They all loved the Dogs and as soon as they got it they left -- they were the talk of the town - bless em.

However, I would not feed just anything to my neighbor's Dogs as they have the special diet and I always stick by that and would not do what they did not want me to do -- they always come out to greet me when I go to my car and I have a special little-approved treat for them.

Sometimes I wonder as a Friend a few doors down had their Dog and the Vet told them they should only fee it this   "special'   food he sold -- cost a fortune but they never questioned it.
