Hi everyone
Well I have to be honest here, this is my first time blogging so please share your thoughts and ideas. I have an affinity for domestic and wild animals. Also I see a lot of plant life in trouble as well, trees included. I just want to point out here that if we continue to cut down our forrests and delete homes of the wildlife we are going to be the cause of our own demise. ALL life on earth was put here for a reason, and the plants and animals were here before humans. My theory is that humans were put here to take care of and nurture the plants and animals and make sure they stay healthy and safe. It makes me very sad when I see or hear about people who hunt animals just so they can have something to hang on the walls in their houses or offices. Trees and other plant life are being destroyed to make more room for housing, roadways, man-made waterways, etc.
My ancestors hunted, however they used every part of the animal. The pelt was used for clothing, blankets, shoes, made into carrying devices or a closure for the opening of teepees to keep out the cold. The meat of an animal was used for food and the bones were carved into tools and other items of use.
Trees and other plant life used were not wasted either. Tree limbs and vines were used as roofs in some "villages" and some were fashiond into canoes, other plants were used as food and medicine. some plants were used to make a type of paint for dances and for warriors.
What can we do today to stop the destruction of our precious planet? A few things I have come up with is to use biodegradable products so there will be a lot less trash to deal with, we need to slow down on our roadways as animals still share the planet with us and those that think it is fun to hit an animal on purpose ... may shame find you and never leave you and also have a law where if a person harms or kills a wild animal purposely they will have to pay the consequences as they would if the animal(s) were domestic or if they seriously hurt another person or people, or worse. Our world has become one where everyone has to be somewhere yesterday and I say relax, slow down because the faster you go the longer it will take for you to get where your going.
Take notice of your surroundings. I don't mean just traffic lights, other people, other vehicles .... those are things you must do to make it through your day, but start taking notice of animals, insects, trees, birds, animals, the sky, you may be surprised at what you see and learn. Mostly start being aware of your own natural senses and the rest will follow.
