Above: me as “Autumn” dress and crown made by myself đ
Autumn is my favourite of all seasons :). I honestly love them all
but I grew in a tropical island where “The Fall” would never take place.
Even then I had already written “I steal the leaves” one of the first
songs I ever shared online (I steal the leaves but I´ll bring them back
in Spring…) and first time I saw the leaves changing colours I was
amazed. So that bright, colourful period where all colours shift infuse
my spirit with magic… đ I always have loved Nature đ but for a while
I lived in a big city and some years ago I returned to a quieter life
closer to the healing Mother. I hike a lot, and as you all know I love
fantasy (music, literature, costumes) and I love to dress up a lot :)…
I upload fantasy pictures regularly to my instagram account
Canis Lupus Signatus, the Iberian Wolf, It is a subspecies of wolf endemic from the North of Spain. Lookt at it well, in its uniqueness! đ
Almost extinct once, populations recovered, though it still remains to
be vulnerable and endangered. In the 50´s and 60´s Francoist Government
tried to wipe it out and almost succeeded, a few packs saved the
species from extinction and it slowly recovered. Still, despite knowing
our past mistake, our Spanish Government still allows the hunting down
of a percentage of them each year, not adding the constant “poaching”…
when are we going to learn?. Honestly when someone asks me about my
political inclinations I’ve been voting for the animals party since ages,
because they still do not have representation. Isn’t this a beautiful
creature? Well, look at him well, because some time from now it might
not be… If we see the number of species gone the last 200 years, it
gives me chills of terror
I confess sometimes I watch on youtube footage of already extinct
animals.. it´s like I don’t want to forget… when you see the
Thylacine moving in film, you almost feel like it might be still
somewhere, yet it is not… It is not, EXTINCTION means GONE, FOREVER…
even cloning back extinct animals in the near future, would not be the
exact thing that we lost. And once than, they can say “what a pity” but
there is no undo button for extinction.
HOW SELFISH WE ARE AS A SPECIES…
wild animals belong in the forest, we hunt them down as if they were an
unwanted molestation, animals do belong to Nature, it´s us plaguing it.
We have destroyed our environment (and keep on doing it while our
blinded race to the point of no return draws to a fatal conclusion). But
we still treat a few thousands animals as “plagues” when millions of us
fill the Earth with garbaga. If I meet a wild boar, I hike regularly
and I have read how to make precautions, I don´t blame the animal, I try
my best, in respect to cross our paths in peace (one of the most
beautiful experience in my recent hikes was to stumble with a sounder of
boar in the mist)… but first option for many, let´s kill it, let´s
hunt it, as scientists, we have ways to treat catch and release them
with treatments so they are less fertile. There is no need to get rid of
them by hunting or killing, it could be done ANOTHER WAY. More let´s
get trained about what to do and don´t if we find a wild animal… an
teach respect to all creatures, and find SOLUTIONS that don´t imply
torturing, killing, hunting and destroying endangered species like the
Iberian Wolf is. Aren´t you so smart and clever HUMAN? Don´t you say
that something merciful is HUMANE in your language (such a lying
concept)… Look at these eyes, don’t look away.
