Well, fundamentalism and mass hysteria "loveste din nou". English teacher Gillian Gibbons jailed for allowing her Muslim (!) students name a teddy Mohammed, in Sudan. The Sudanese people however are rioting and asking for "death by firing squad". International tensions and bloodlust for a freakin' teddy. The world is going mental, seriously.

Un documentar BBC foarte interesant despre lupi, in 5 parti. Atentie, in partea 4 este vorba despre Romania (Brasov si Sibiu).
Partea 1:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZTZ65akewI&feature=related
Restul le gasiti in playlist.
Enjoy the documentary and learn to appreciate more the ancestor of all domesticated dogs, the wolf, truly one of nature's most magnificent predators.
P.S.: Don't forget to read Kipling's masterpiece, "The Jungle Book" if you want to learn more about the Indian wolf and not only that. So says Akela.

The Amur leopard is the most endangered big cat today. With only 30-40 of them still alive in the wild, they are on the brink of extinction due to hunting, loss of habitat and now the project of a new pipeline that will cut their already ridiculously small territory in half. Not enough gene diversity, even if they are bred in captivity, will still point to a slow death.
See the vids with the beautiful cat, as you are probably the last generation to still have images with live wild ones. Sadly, your children probably will never have the opportunity.

Stii ca asta e un subiect aprig dezbatut in toata lumea civilizata. Sunt cele doua pozitii opuse: pro life (precum situl dat de tine), in general de orientare de stanga, conservatori, chiar pana in centru-stanga, de factura religioasa si pro choice , care sunt de dreapta, centru dreapta, democrati si liberali, ce sustin relativismul cultural, printre altele.
Fiind niste grupari ideologice organice, isi mentin orientarea si pe alte fronturi (precum gay rights, ecological matters, attitude towards war etc.)
Am avut dezbaterea asta si cu studenti. Nar fi trebuit sa fiu suprinsa, dar totusi am fost, de cat de inversunate erau fiecare dintre tabere. Cu toate ca, in grupul respectiv, 99% sanse ca nici unul dintre ei sa nu fi trecut prin asa ceva. Cu atat mai mult, cu cat "pro life" erau in general baietii. Oricum foarte interesant de studiat reactiilor lor, ca si genul de argumente aduse in discutie (de natura morala, religioasa, emotionala etc.).
I am "pro choice".

I don't give a damn pe orientari de stanga, dreapta, centru, orizontale, verticale sau diagonale. Daca un om ii da altuia in cap si il omoara, si este condamnat pentru fapta sa la ani grei de inchisoare, o MAMA care isi ucide propriul copil ar trebui sa putrezeasca pe veci in puscarie. Asta e tot ce am de spus despre acest subiect.

So are most of the people that choose to slaughter animals.
Just because it's within their power and there's no law against it.
What's liberal in killing a human being?

Daca tot alegem sloganul forumului, eu propun sa luam in considerare si varianta:
"If you can't save a whale, you can kill your unborn child instead at any time"
PS: S-ar putea sa existe ceva greseli gramaticale in sloganul asta...

Milena, liberal este sa respecti dreptul omului de a decide asupra corpului si vietii sale. In acest caz, se respecta libertatea individului la reproducere/non-reporducere. In cazul celor care sunt pro-choice, interzicerea avortului este la fel de grava ca si inducerea sa fortata (vezi acest gen de radicalism in China cu noile "birthrate laws").
Mai mult decat atat, in tarile conservatoare si traditionaliste, unde avortul este interzis, un intreg val ideologic conservator antreneaza mai multe fenomene ce de asemenea limiteaza libertatea individului si dreptului sau la informatie: lipsa educatiei sexuale comprehensive, lipsa/insuficienta accesului la metode contraceptive, nivelul general de educatie scazut, nivel de trai scazut pentru un procent mare din populatie etc. (vezi parti din Orientul Mijlociu, Africa, America Latina etc.).
Se ajunge in situatia in care rata natalitatii creste artificial, adica femei care nu ar face in mod normal copiii respectivi, sunt fortate sa ii faca. Daca ne uitam la istoria comunista a Romaniei, si a politicii pro-natalitate inceputa in anii '70, observam doua fenomene cu implicatii dramatice:
1. 200.000 femei au murit pana la Revolutie din cauza avorturilor induse in conditii insalubre, sau de catre personal necalificat, sau prin metode "babesti" de ele insele (avorturi ilegale se faceau si in conditii "bune" medical vorbind, dar cu bani foarte multi, 2000-3000 lei, asta insemna un salariu de director pe o luna);
2. un numar foarte mare de copii abandonati in orfelinate/spitale, de femei care nu putusera sa faca avort, dar in mod cert nu doreau copilul respectiv (din varii motive: erau prea tinere, erau in scoala, partenerul nu vroia copilul etc.). Si de reputatia noastra nationala in ceea ce priveste numarul foarte mare de copii din orfelinate, cred ca am auzit cu totii. Sunt mii si mii de vieti distruse si/sau cu sanse foarte mici se reinsertie sociala.
Nici un sustinator pro-choice nu va spune ca avorturile sunt bune. Sunt o trauma ingrozitoare si ceva ce trebuie evitat. DAR, in cazul in care nu se poate evita (mama este adolescenta, nu isi poate asuma copilul, fatul este bolnav - malformatii genetice, sarcina este rezultatul unui abuz/viol etc., etc.) femeia ARE dreptul de a decide daca doreste sa faca un avort sau nu.

North Korea - the most atrocious tyranny in nowadays world. A black hole for freedom, human rights and monitoring. The worst yet is that they have nuclear weapons, that they might use to sell to other terrorist organizations. A country divided similarly to Germany prior to the fall of the Iron Curtain.

The Tigers - the biggest cat on earth. Some people think it can be trained as a pet and many end up captive, neglected, used for entertainment. And those that are wild are getting pushed out of their natural habitat by deforestation and agricultural overexploitation.
In order to prove that tigers are way better than humans, Big Cat Rescue team sets up this hilarious contest between their man, Brian, and the stripped puss! Have a laugh and remember to fight for conservationism:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hamlPCInPdo
I loved the face of the tiger at the end: "This is the dumbest thing I have ever seen."
