What About Them?

The other species - birds, cows, eels, pigs - what all these have in common?

Maybe I should put it in another way ... bird flu, mad cow disease, unagi (eel), er ... pork disease? I can't remember. (I even tried doing an online search for the right word but it kept giving me results on diets. *sweats*)

Okay back to what I wanted to put across.

I'm not here to shoot down more birds nor cows nor eels nor any other animal for that matter. I'm here ... to question.

What are we doing to the earth and its other inhabitats?

We have a disease caused by a certain species, now presently the most active, birds. So what do we humans do? We start to wipe them out. Okay not literally "Let's kill all birds" type of wipe out, but it's still "Let's kill whole chicken/duck/poultry farms" type of wipe out.

We being the superior species decided to preserve our status of being the dominant species, we take out the birds.

Why don't we think ... what if we were in the birds' shoes?

What if WE HUMANS were the INFERIOR species???

What if another species, to preserve the dominance of their own species, decided to get rid of us?????

Hold that thought.

This world is as much as theirs as it is for us. But humans, us ... ME ... abuse this earth that we live on. This earth that we take for granted. We take its natural resources and turned it into chemicals which pollute. We take its animals and hunt, eat them into almost extinction. We take its land and cover it with concrete where nothing green can grow.

We take take take ... but almost never give back to this mother earth which gave all of these to us.

We are unappreciative. Like spoilt brats who just know how to take from their parents and give nothing back.

Now Mother is angry ... and she's getting back at us. (Quoted by hubby.)

Typhoons, volcanic eruptions, floods, diseases, low resources meandering near to nothing. I don't think I am covering them all. We humans are losing in this fight.

We are being balanced out in number by Mother.

And we further kill ourselves with terrorism, wars both national and civil. Self annihilation???

We need to start playing nice with our siblings on this earth now. NOW not LATER ... what is the use of economy when we are not here in the future to enjoy it.

Hrmm ... are our fellow siblings silently laughing at us while Mother punishes us? I wonder.
