New Section.
Animal Rights.

Animals have rights.
please remember that.
Some people go all the way and don't eat things with eyes, ( I'm not one of those) but it is very difficult to accept the current scientific orthodoxy of evolutionary theory and the emergence of modern human and not be struck by our animal nature.

The difference is very very small.

The difference is Bush, Oil, and hunting.

The sort of hunting that led to the shooting by a french man for sport of the last fertile European Bear surviving in the wilds of the Pyrennes in the last week.

Her cub survived the incident which has shocked people who think that somehow Bears belonged in the Pyrennes and ought still live there happily.

Scientists are working out a way of leaving food for the surviving cub to help it survive the winter which still hasn't come but will soon enough see temperatures plummet below zero for at least three months.

The scientists reckon the bear cub has a 50/50 chance of survival.

If it survives the next question for the Pyrennean European bear species, now reduced to one just recently weened cub, will be finding it ( a male ) a mate. And then purists may indeed argue any offspring would by hybrids.

Every month a species of birds leaves our beautiful garden of Earth.

makes you think. doesn't it?
