It is very addicting, because it's supposed to be for babies who need it to survive. We are the only animal to continue drinking milk until adulthood. Scientists have now discovered that they were wrong about getting so much calcium. Too much calcium leaks calcium, causing osteoporosis and bone...

There are many reasons to want stop feeding wild geese, from over population to dirty water and grass. One natural way to rid of geese is to grow long grass. They feel threatened ifthey can't see predators and will leave for a clearer field.

Hi Adriana, I am new as well. Welcome!

That sounds like an amazing volunteer opportunity. I would love to get involved in something like that one day. I am currently in two wildlife clubs and with the humane society, while writing and working so i don't want to spread myself too thin...but definitely on my list hehe. I am hearing...

Hi Dogmom, It's hard to be vegetarian in a society that doesn't support it. I had to learn quickly how to cook my own food from scratch. I made really good Indian dishes, blend my own sauce-tomatoes and other veges. My boyfriend and I love to experiment with different foods and make meals...

Hi Ambrosia, You're right it probably is difficult to maintain. It's not for everyone. I wouldn't tell someone they should go or have to be vegetarian, even if I do hope for a cruelty free world. What I am more interested in is educating people and dispelling myths. I don't think people...

Hi Dogmom, It's nice to meet fellow animal lovers. We need more in the world. What country are you in? wildlife rehab sounds like an enjoyable volunteer opportunity.

lol gidget-I actually almost did that too-with the bug. That is awesome about your little one and daughter. How precious. Those are the moments to remember. Do you write in a journal? What a beautiful thing to keep in notes to share with them or their own children one day. Ah, I'm so...

Definitely would love to be able to shapeshift into any animal. To fly like an eagle to any destination, swim with the dolphins , race as a horse....very cool.

Oh I am by no means saying you had to or would feel the need to. Your post came across that you couldn't be vegetarian because of your physical workout routine.That's a myth we hear a lot. There are many body builders who are vegan/vegetarian. The reason people aren't vegetarian is a...

My bf lifted weights and was very fit and athletic as a vegetarian. He stopped working out due to a job this year, but if you are unable to be vegetarian, it's nothing to do with working out and being physically active..It is probably due to not knowing how to substitute properly. It's always up...

It is sad, but one of the consequences to feeding wild animals is the excuse to kill them. By educating people or having signs out, people will be able to make up their own mind. Most people I do believe want to do what is best for an animal. They usually just don't know any better. I t would be...

No proof yet that they eat meat like monkeys.They found DNA in the feces. One theory is that they are consuming insects that were feasting on dead animals. DNA could also get in by a monkey feasting on the gorilla feces to get the seeds out. More research needs to be done.

I'm a Jane fan, love her work and studies. She has so many interesting stories to share about animal emotions too- though many anecdotal. We know that gorillas as a general rule eat a mainly plant based diet/fruit etc and 2% goes to the bugs. Low percentage, they are currently classified as...
