I read today, on Lindsay Ostrom's blog (see link) a story about a humpback whale caught in a net. Four divers went out to help, and were successful in cutting the lines. The whale actually danced in circles, and shook hands (fins?) with each of her rescuers before swimming away.
Now that is gratitude.
Even if you are not a diver, or a swimmer, or someone who even knows how to swim, you can appreciate the skill and open-heartedness it takes to do something like that. I don't think most people have even seen an animal bigger than themselves, let alone one of the largest mammals of the ocean-a place humans clearly have the disadvantage. So three cheers to those helpful divers! huzzah huzzah huzzah!
What is your favorite animal? Tigers? Elephants? Eagles? Find out what you can do to help save their habitats, or get them out of abusive zoos, or support the no-euthenization animal shelters near you. If we all do what we can, maybe things will get brighter for everyone... not just the human race.
