Thanks for your information from the other side of the world, Nelson! I am with you on the protection of wildlife and their home habitat. Alice’s Einstein quote “a problem is never solved from the consciousness which created it” says the real problem. Nothing more effective than first hand experiences and witnessing through photos/videos to illuminate the resulting horrors of the popular notion of “progress.” In Alaska, it is the bear that are the large life threatened in every which way from global warming to big game trophy hunters and human thoughtless destruction of their food sources and needs to make way for us. Us meaning corporate greed and rampant want of every natural resource that makes wild Alaska wild Alaska that includes Alaska’s First Peoples who historically have been a part of Nature’s system – a concept still misunderstood by main stream humans who depend on money to exist and live. So much could be learned from the ones who historically lived amongst the large creatures of the world, not always peacefully, but in times of necessity co-existance had to be learned – the great flood being one such occasion. Today the great flood is not water but humans and their big destroying machinery never-ending while destroying all life in their way to maintain their convenience. Gunal’cheech! (Thank You!)
Best regards to you and your extremely curious hair. Wanda

Hey Nelson, thanks for the blog link. Kay and Anna had told me about it, but I hadn’t received the link yet. I feel for the elephants. To me, they simply are hungry and are going after food when their own supply has been taken away by the humans. And we humans are disgusted when they are hungry? Or when they stand up for their own right to live? And how can we say they are wrong to attack any of us when we have been attacking them for ivory and, gruesomely, their feet? (I visited a doctor’s home once that went on safari several times in Africa. His justification for having trophy elephant feet was that they had hurt local villagers in southwest Africa. He used them as ottomans!). Well, pardon me for preaching to the choir. I suppose if we continue to look at it as right or wrong, we’ll never find the solution. Per Einstein, “a problem is never solved from the consciousness which created it”. Thanks for going out there. Feel less like I have to now. But then, also that it will be easier to. Be safe. xox Alice
