Question: Dear Kryon: I live in Spain. I am sorry if I will ask you a question you might have already answered, but the translations of your books are very slow and I might not have gathered all information you have already given. I am quite concerned about abandoned animals. It seems that many people buy animals for their children and as soon as they grow, they set them out somewhere. Recently I had the occasion to see a small kitten in the middle of the street. I did not immediately react, since I could have stopped and taken it, without getting out of the car. So, I went on and at the first occasion I could turn, I went back to see if I could take the kitten, but it was to late, somebody had already killed it. This happened some month ago, but I still feel very sorry for that kitten. I just would like to know, what kind of entity are these animals and how does this fit in our world. Are these entities which choose this kind of life, like we do choose our kind of Human life? I see so many abandoned animals and every time I see one, my heart aches... I would like to know more about them.

Answer: Dear one, indeed the answer has been given, but let us give it again so you all understand. Animals are here on earth for three (3) reasons.

(1) The balance of biological life. . . the circle of energy that is needed for you to exist in what you call "nature."

(2) To be harvested. Yes, it's true. Many exist for your sustenance, and this is appropriate. It is a harmony between Human and animal, and always has. Remember the buffalo that willingly came into the indigenous tribes to be sacrificed when called? These are stories that you should examine again. The inappropriateness of today's culture is how these precious creatures are treated. Did you know that if there was an honoring ceremony at their death, they would nourish you better? Did you know that there is ceremony that could benefit all of humanity in this way. Perhaps it's time you saw it.

(3) To be loved and to love. For many cultures, animals serve as surrogate children, loved and taken care of. It gives Humans a chance to show compassion when they need it, and to have unconditional love when they need it. This is extremely important to many, and provides balance and centering for many.

Do animals know all this? At a basic level, they do. Not in the way you "know," but in a cellular awareness they understand that they are here in service to planet earth. If you honor them in all three instances, then balance will be the result. Your feelings about their treatment is important. Temper your reactions with the spiritual logic of their appropriateness and their service to humanity. Honor them in all three cases.

Nestle to Sail Amazon Rivers to Reach Emerging-Market Consumers

Businessweek, June 17, 2010, 1:13 AM EDT

June 17 (Bloomberg) -- Nestle SA will begin sailing a supermarket barge down two Amazon river tributaries tomorrow as it competes with Unilever to reach emerging-market customers cut off from branded goods.

The world’s largest food company will send a boat with 100-square meters (1,076 square feet) of supermarket space on a journey to 18 small cities and 800,000 potential consumers on the Para and Xingu rivers in Brazil, before starting the journey again. The vessel will carry 300 different goods including chocolate, yogurt, ice cream and juices.

“Direct distribution gives them a competitive edge over regional competitors who don’t have the resources to do this kind of thing,” said James Targett, an analyst at Consumer Equity Research in London. He has a “positive” rating on Vevey, Switzerland-based Nestle.

Nestle expects as many as 1 billion people in emerging markets to exit poverty and be able to afford its products in the coming decade. The foodmaker has adapted its products in such regions by offering smaller, cheaper versions of products such as Alpino ice cream and Ninho milk powder through direct distribution to make them more accessible to low-income shoppers. Unilever has also been building a distribution network into Brazil’s shantytowns.

Strong in Brazil

“Unilever is very strong in Brazil and has been there a long time, and is used to getting poorer consumers in rural areas,” said James Amoroso, a food industry consultant based in Walchwil, Switzerland. “It’s obviously more expensive to establish yourself before the retail distribution is there, and this is what Nestle is trying to do.”

Supermarket purchases in Brazil’s impoverished northern and northeast regions have outpaced growth from richer states in the south and southeast for the last two years as social programs and a higher minimum wage increased disposable income for the poor, Sussumu Honda, head of the national supermarkets association, said in an interview June 2.

Brazil’s supermarket sales rose a record 15 percent in March from a year earlier, according to data from the country’s statistics agency. The increased demand means that supermarkets in remote areas have had difficulty keeping products on the shelves as suppliers are unable to meet orders, Honda said.

Economic Growth

Latin America’s biggest economy expanded 9 percent in the first quarter, the fastest annual growth rate since 1995, led by domestic demand and investments, the statistics agency said last week. Policy makers raised the benchmark interest rate for the second time this year to 10.25 percent last week to keep the economy from overheating.

Nestle sells 3,950 products in “popularly positioned” formats designed for low-income consumers. Smaller packs allow poor consumers to afford branded goods like richer shoppers rather than turn to generic alternatives. The company often adds nutrients such as iron, zinc, iodine and vitamin A to address deficiencies among the poor.

The Swiss company has a team of 7,000 saleswomen who peddle packs of Nestle goods door-to-door in Brazilian slums. In Indonesia, Nestle cut out middlemen and began shipping directly to wholesalers to expand its reach to consumers among the country’s 17,000 islands.

Nestle has forecast global sales from such products eventually reaching 20 billion Swiss francs ($18 billion) from 8.8 billion francs last year. Unilever, which sells smaller sizes of its products, such as Seda shampoo, in Brazil, already gets half its sales from developing countries.

Emerging Markets

Nestle had 2009 food and beverage sales growth in emerging markets of 8.5 percent, more than double the rate of its total business. The company has said it aims to boost the proportion of sales from developing countries to 45 percent in a decade from 35 percent now.

Nestle isn’t the only one to take to water transport in the Amazon. Banco Bradesco SA, Brazil’s second-biggest bank by market value, started to offer banking services in December via the Solimoes River, also in the Amazon. Bradesco made 700 new clients after six months, Director Odair Afonso Rebelato said.

“These clients don’t want to be labeled as poor,” Rebelato said. “They want the same products as everybody else.”
