I love stories like this - humans going the extra mile to help animals. (Or stories about animals helping humans, for example dolphins saving lives of swimmers/d­ivers.) We're all on this planet together.

I Love your User Icon! Too Bad so many of our Human Activities hurt our OWN Best Interest in the Long Run.

In Our Every Deliberation We Must Take Into Consideration The Impact Our Decisions have on The Next Seven Generations- From The Great law of The Iroquois Confederacy

It IS that Simple!

ALL religions were concocted in antiquity from prevailing superstitions incorporating myths idols cults etc. Then man searched deeper for meaning. There have been True Prophets with a PURE message of COMPASSION but all have had their message corrupted by those who claim to quote them. Why? to rule/dominate/scam by using FEAR and HOPE. FEAR of the unknown and HOPE of a reward for doing THEIR will and dirty deeds. What religious leaders do with indoctrination and dogmas is ABHORRENT, SICK!!!

as ironic as it may sound when I say this - you're totally preaching to the choir on that one. Right on.

We DO have the responsibility to pay the due respect for future generations. Tis nothing but foo.lishne­ss to act like our resources and environment are unlimited.

That's what those 'ligios phreeks preach, that "go.d gave us these resources and these animals and trees and this earth as a gift to do what we please" How sad, and utterly insa.ne that is. Peace friend.

Friggin Awesome!

See, look at how good we are at helping? And it's feels much better than hur.ting, doesn't it?

This is what we're made for folks, to help the world. There is no other purpose.
