Stray dogs learn to take the subway.

‎I have noticed  Hedgehogs and Magpies crossing the street at the crosswalks forcing the traffic to stop.  At first I thought it was coincidence but I have seen it so often that I am beginning to think they are learning from us how to survive in the city. After all we have outcrowded them and they are trying to get along and survive. There are many examples of this, like stray dogs that learn to take the subway for example. Animals have to develope new survival skills and invent solutions as they go along. Have you also seen examples of this where you live?

Animal Intelligence

Author Eugene Linden, who has been writing about animal intelligencefor 40 years, told ABC News that Moscow’s resourceful stray dogs are just one of what are now thousands of recorded examples of wild, feral anddomesticated animals demonstrating what appears, at least, to be what humans might call flexible open-ended reasoning and conscious thought.

Linden cites a wide variety of creatures ranging from captive orangutans and otters who frequently and slyly “trade” with their keepers, to a British cat famous for regularly taking the bus to a squirrel in Oklahoma who became a local hero when people began to notice that it regularly obeyed traffic signals when crossing a busy street.

“The take-away is that animals are not just passive in this,” Linden told ABC News. “They are figuring out what we’re about and how they can game the system, and work it to their advantage as well.”

Moscow’s strays have also been observed obeying traffic lights, says Vereshchagin. He and Poyarkov report the strays have developed a variety of techniques for hunting food in the wild metropolis.

Sometimes a pack will send out a smaller, cuter member apparently realizing it will be more successful at begging than its bigger, less attractive counterparts.

God is love, live and let live.

I just read the article about an orangutan mother who was surrounded by 8 men intending to kill her and her daughter.  As if that wasn’t bad enough, she was pregnant too. A photograph show her sitting helplessly on the ground putting her protective arms around her daughter. Just before they were going to be hacked to death by the men an animal rescue team showed up and they were saved.

I don’t understand why this particular article really shook me up so much. I mean, we see these things all the time.  Animal cruelty is wide spread and it is indeed upsetting to read about it. But this one really got to me, I was and still am very torn up about it. Perhaps it subcounsciously reminds me of previous lifetimes when men came and destroyed my farm and killed my family. And all the times in this lifetime when men have tried to destroy my small family and take the children away. What is really the difference between her and me? God loves all the creatures as much as it loves humans. There is no difference. We all exist because of Gods love.

God saved her and her daughter, sent Angels to rescue her. Perhaps she was silently praying for a miracle when she sat there facing her death. In a way, I am her and she is me. Most people don’t know that animals can pray. They do, all the time. We are connected through the universal life force. If we harm anyone we harm ourselves too. How can anyone avoid to see that?  It is crystal clear.

God is Love, Live and Let Live.

Don't hurt my baby! Pregnant orang-utan protectively hugs her daughter as ruthless Borneo bounty hunters move in for the kill

 

As bounty hunters with bush knives entrapped them in a circle and moved in for the kill, the only thing this mother orang-utan could think to do was to wrap a giant protective arm around her daughter.

The pair seemed to be facing a certain death as a gang of hunters surrounded them in Borneo, keen to cash in on the palm oil plantations’ bid to be rideof the animals.
