A young orangutan's story

An Young Orangutan's Story on Prezi

I think Orangutans are really cute and I feel really terrible about the fact that humans hurt them. This is just a simple story but it tells a very deep story. Hope you like it!

WWF Earth Book

Lately on WWF something called the Earth Book  came out. I went to check it out and absolutely loved it. It is an online book with 7 chapters all about different thing. Every chapter includes a little video about how we can help the enviroment and a short story. Another major thing is that you can be part of the book. Just simply press tell your story when your there or sign the petition to show you care. Little things like this is what changes the world sometimes.
Choose your favourite chapter!!! Mine was the Oceans and Seas Chapter.

I'm very sorry for not posting for so long but I'm really busy I'll try post more. If you have any ideas for a post be sure to tell me in the comments. 
I also signed up on a website called wattpad. It is a website for posting stories and I was hoping you guys could check it out. Another thing, be sure to subscribe to WWF.

Gadget Time

    Hey guys! I'm very happy and proud to say that my last post had a lot of views. It was a very serious topic, so now I'll write about something less intense. These are a few eco-friendly products I found on the internet:

 Solar Panel Sun Glasses
These cool looking glasses trap solar energy and turn it into electric energy. It can then power your small devices through a power jack at the back of the frame. This gadget would be useful if for example your sun tanning and listening to your Ipod and your batteries run out. Just plug it in and harge it in an eco-friendly way.

  Water Powered Alarm Clock

 It has a combination of water and salt and the clock electrodes generate an electric current sufficient to power the clock for a few days after which you need to change the water. Cool! Isn’t it?

 Eco-speakers

For people like me who love the enviroment and can't live without music these Eco-speakers are the new great thing. They are made out of 70% recycled materials. They won't even need batteries for them to work because they are powered by your mp3 or audio sorce. They will give you hours of eco-friendly music time.

 

Court: "It's not cruelty"

   

   This story is from a year ago but I think it doesn't make it any less interesting and educating. It's a story of a dog, hope you enjoy. I know it's long but please read it all.











     It's summer 2011 a 27 year old man is having a fight with his wife. Before it he got drunk. In the other room their baby is crying. The man is looking for a dummy to keep it quiet but he can't fine it. He shouts at his wife again Their dog, a little mix breed reacts to the fight with barking. The man throws him out of the window on the second storey. The dog lands on his neighbours garden. The neighbours call the police. The man spends the night at the police station, he has 2 per mills of alcohol in his organism.
    The dog lives but runs away. The wife of the man finds him the next day. He is bruised and has a few cracks in his skull. The woman tells the police she takes care of the dog and the animal goes back home.
    Court: It's just an accident
     Prosecutors accused the man of savere animal cruelty. He was threatened with three years of prison. The man agreed that it was his fault but said he did it because he was very angry and that he takes good care of the dog.
    It wasn't high enough and the ground too soft.
     The court sees it differently. They say the man wasn't cruel to the dog because he didn't make the dogs pain long. It would be like it if he for example chocked or stabbed the dog or threw him out of a window higher than the second storey. 
      "throwing a dog out of  window on the 10th storey could be called cruelty, but throwing him out of a window on the second storey onto garden theritory is not,"- says the judge. Also another thing is them man was very angry and he threw the dog out quickly not causing it long mental injuries.
     "Short time of pain and no mental injuries on one hand and the impulsive act of the man on the other hand, without savere pain towards the dog makes him innocent. All he did that under stress and anger he threw thedog out of the window.," says the judge and insists the dog didn't suffer from too bad of an injury.
     The judge makes the man innocent and only more incidents like that might change his mind. "It's not ethical and funny"- say the prosecutors.
Death s not a usual outcome of a fall from a second stoorey
 The man won't also be prosecuted for trying to kill the dog, because?According to the court throwing a dog out of a window on the second storey should not be taken as an act understood as the word "kill" because "death of an animal is not a usual outcome of an event like that. The court says that if the man wanted to kill the dog he would throw him of from a higher floor.
                                                 I got this information and picture from an online article I transelated.
For me even thinking of throwing your dog out of the window no matter in what state of mind should be considered as animal cruelty. They dog even though was not very badly hurt still felt pain and had to go threw a thraumatic experience of falling. Look at it this way, if a human was thrown out of a window on the second storey the person who did it would be prosecuted for sure no matter if he was drunk or not. Why isn't a dog treated like a human? Because it's just an animal. For me it's just terrible that the owner wasn't prosecuted in any way, he didn't even have to pay a fine. The jude must have a hearth of ice if he didn't feel any compashion for the dog. I think three years of jail is the least the man should get for causing a living thing pain, doesn't matter if it's a human or an animal.

Cruelty to Ponies

   

Dear reader, this post is similar to the last one. It talks about animal cruelty done by ordinary people not in labs or circuses. This story is one that my friend told me:
Near her house is a field where ponies are kept. They live in terrible conditions. They are very skinny and can barely stand on their feet. They are also teit to a fence with something that cuts them. My friend tried to pet one of them and put up her hand, the horse was obviously preaviously beaten and was scared she was going to hit him, so it ran away. They are also kept in a run down house which could collapse any time.
She tried to help them by feeding them or letting them out of the house. She is also considering telling the police and I totally agree.
Remember, if you see animal cruelty don't just walk away but try to help.
