Sorry I could not resist , the above  picture was right in the middle of the dog article. I like the guy in the back with the baseball hat. 

 

"The good news is that after adjusting for variables such as sex, income, marital status, presence of children in the home, and income, dog owners had a 20 percent lower mortality rate than non-owners."

Yeah , I just read it .... even there is no prof of extended longevity of pet owners , I am sure that there is a beneficial effect on their mental health .

Yea I also thought it would add fuel to the inevitable Thai bashing fire as I was writing my response but I thought it was a point that needed to be made, which is why I added  " Or can't afford it" .

  As I said we have five resques, and would have more if we had the room. because our heart breaks when we see these abandoned puppies . Dogs have the capacity for love and the  mentality of a very young child, 

Throwing them in the street is like throwing in the street a young child. Who would do that? 

IMO it takes a stone cold heart. I would be highly suspect of any person who could do that. 

The last puppies we rescued , and who turned out to to be the smartest and best dog I ever had in my life. Seriously!! if she was a human she would be a genius, she can think circles around all the other dogs to the point that we laugh. 

  Anyway she followed us home and stuck her head troughs a hole in our sliding gate, and sat there looking  at us with this big sad puppy eyes while we played with the other dogs. . Finally I broke down and told the wide, "All right let her in" 

I agree and am an advocate of a goverment subsidized program,  I have seen it done in other countries with similar dog population problem with great success.

As the human population increases on this planet , many species of animals face extinction .

Do we not know that everything is connected ?

Human overpopulation will lead to it's own extinction .

Environmental destruction paired non regulated growth of the most destructive species is a recipe for guaranteed disaster .

We are the dominant species , but just a part of the terrestrial biosphere .

In order to survive we need a balanced ecosystem , by destroying this , we are destroying our future .

Simple logic ... why are there no serious steps taken to restore the balance ...?

Greed and fear are still mankinds main motivators as that has always been in the past .

Time to evolve now and to set other priorities , or there will be not much left after us ... like planet Mars .

Survival is the name of the ( universal ) game , and we are failing .

YOU are a good man .

Keep a little empathy to suffering creatures in your heart .

If you are not rewarded in this life , you may be in the next one ...

Today the the world is divided into two kind of humans , the ones who still feel empathy and the humons ( human monsters ) , who feel no love and only give hate . And that is the majority .

Thanks for this

Young , still learning ...

Imagine if the beach villa would have been rented by a thai national , and the people sitting on the stairs and being kicked would have been foreigners ...

What would have happened ...?

Probably nothing .

Stop the Yaba , Hubby ...

At least , she is more pleasant to look  at than her brother .

Thailand is what it is ... and that won't change , not before the next elections , at least ...

And if the wrong party wins ( again ) , there will be another coup .

That is how it works here .

The most secure location to survive a nuclear holocaust ?

1. the ISS ( international space station ) .

2. Antarktic .

But , even if you survive , would it be a life worth living ...?

There is a way to avoid the nuclear war for a nation capable of genetically developing a lethal ' supervirus ' , like corona ...

At least that would not destroy all of the planet , and leave place for a reboot ...

May be , in some deep underground secret laboratory , they are already working on it ...?
