Steve Irwin Marathon Show..

10 Sept

Steve Irwin marathon show has been playing on Animal planet from 12am.

I woke up around 9am and the first thing i do is to switch on the TV and tune in for the shows.. watch it while i eat breakfast, while i do my beading and while i do housework.. I must have watched over 6 hours of the marathon show.. Funny how we could still laugh at his jokes when the whole world mourns for one of the earth best wildlife conservationist.

He inspires me .. and will continue to do so even now that he is gone. I will always remember how he taught me about snakes and not all are venomous.. I love the beautiful snake scales now and will try to save a snake if i see someone trying to kill one. His conservation message is clear and has succeeded.

I try to be like him now that i am more equipped with knowledge of animals, their habitate, their behaviour and i try to safe them. And i Like the Slogon used by Animal planet... "When the buying stops, the killing can too" , "没有买卖就没有杀害”。 I will do my little part in saving endangered animals by not buying.. and discouraging the use of animal parts in medicine, like the bear bile, the tiger bones.. etc etc.. It pains to see how the sun/ moon bears are tortured to culture their biles for traditional medicine. I stopped eating shark fins and I will only eat reared poultry. No eating of wildlife for me..

I also influence the people around me.. everytime when I see people eat shark fins, I will tell them about the plight of sharks and how these sharks are murdered for their fins and later throwned back into the ocean and left to die. All blood and gore.. I might not succeed but i hope to create an awareness and hope that people will think twice about eating shark fins again.

Okie today i finish another pair of earring.. Bronze one with white opaque crystals.
