There is hope...  
When it is going bad for Fur Seals in Namibia :-( :

There is hope to ban the fur trade in Israel!!! :-D :

From International Anti-Fur Coalition:
 
"Israel has created a precedent by submitting the world's first nationwide bill to “Prohibit Fur Trade" anywhere inside Israel.

Knesset member Nitzan Horowitz proposed on March, 18th 2009 a bill to prohibit the fur industry in its entirety, including all importation, production and/or sales in Israel.   This historic bill will be discussed for the first time on July 22nd at the government's office.

So far, the only Israeli group that shows concerns about this bill is the Ultra-Orthodox MKs as they fear that such ban would deeply affect their "shtreimel trade."  However, there is no religious opposition to synthetic streimels which means that there's virtually no opposition for us to see a FUR FREE ISRAEL!

The coalition heading this campaign asks for worldwide support to help this bill become law.  If you are an organization, please submit a letter of support on behalf of your group.  If an individual, your letter is just as welcome.  Please submit your letter of support on this link:

 
Let's help Israel go fur free so we'll have some hope to see this trend spread throughout the world!"

Mémé hostage! Grrr!  
First, I'd like to say that it is vicious to do this! Once you read the first line of the meme (what the hell does that mean?): you're busted! :-p

Second, got busted by [info]ferdalump  with this:

RULES:
- Anyone who looks at this meme has to post their own desktop in their LiveJournal.
- Explain in a few sentences why you’re using that wallpaper.
- Don’t change your wallpaper before doing this. The point is to see what you had up!

Anyway, got lucky, my desktop is cool. Here it is!

My desktop as of 12-06-09

If anyone wants to "play" this game (and reads my oh so great LJ, or maybe you got lost ;-D) I'd be curious of seeing your desktop. ^^

Take care everyone!

"Animals Matter to Me" but do they to you...?  
When will it FINALLY pass over the 2 millions signatures????? It's slooow, too slowww!
Sign it people, sign it!!!! :-) I mean, "Please", sign it, it is very important. :-)

I know a lot of things are important, and you are being asked all the time to sign something important, believe me I know what you feel. I don't know what is "the argument" that can convince you to sign this and realize it is important. All I know is that it is in my heart, and I can't understand why animals are being hurt all the time and for no real reason. We brought them in many places, influenced their lives, aren't we responsible for their well being as well?
If the human race is "so great", we should at least be nice to all that help us to live and have a better life.

Thank you from the bottom of my ("broken" - hello Britney ;-) ) heart.

Take care people!

"I caught sight of a German the day before yesterday. He was building fortifications 50 meters away from me. I had to kill him, didn't I? I took a rifle, quite calmly I took aim, and he fell. And yet I can see the features of that man with perfect clarity. I think it's very much like a murder. Horrible!"

War Diary, Maurice Laurentin, Lieutenant, 77ème Régiment d'Infanterie, Herenthage front, 1/1/1915

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"J'ai aperçu un Allemand avant-hier qui fesait des fortifications à 50 mètres de moi. Il fallait bien le tuer, n'est-ce pas? J'ai pris un fusil, j'ai visé froidement, il est tombé... Pourtant je voyais parfaitement les traits de cet homme. Je pense que cela ressemble beaucoup à un assassinat. Quelle horreur!"

Scully: "Yes, but why Mulder, why would they intentionally create a populous that destroys itself?"
Mulder: "Fear. It's the oldest tool of power. If you're distracted by fear of those around you, it keeps you from seeing the actions of those above."
