You're going to see a total phase-out of old energy dictatorships eventually. The potential is that you're going to see that before 2013.

Kryon Q&A

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.

Scientists discover 'hybrid sharks' off Australia

Deutsche Welle, 4 January 2011

Genetic testing proved the
shark hybridization

The discovery of a hybrid species of shark has led excited marine scientists to speculate that the animals are responding to climate change. They say nature may be selecting for sharks that extend their range.

Crossbreeding has been observed for the first time among sharks in a development that scientists are calling "evolution in action."

Australian researchers say the hybrid offspring of a tropical shark and its cousin found in cooler waters will inherit a greater range than its parents.

A total of 57 offspring of common blacktip and Australian blacktip sharks were found in waters off Australia's eastern coast, researchers said.

"It's very surprising because no one's ever seen shark hybrids before," Jess Morgan of the University of Queensland, the lead researcher, told the AFP news agency.

"This is not a common occurrence by any stretch of the imagination."

Morgan and others said the widespread interspecies breeding across 2,000 kilometers (1,243 miles) of the eastern Australian coastline indicated that the sharks are dealing with the effects of rising sea temperatures.

Territorial expansion

"Hybridization could enable the sharks to adapt to environmental change," said Jennifer Ovenden, of the Queensland Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries, in a statement.

The smaller Australian blacktip favors tropical waters in the north. Its more common cousin is found mostly in sub-tropical and temperate waters, like along the south-eastern Australian coastline.

There could be a new predator on Australia's beaches

"If it [the Australian blacktip] hybridizes with the common species it can effectively shift its range further south into cooler waters, so the effect of this hybridizing is a range expansion," Morgan said.

Researchers from the University of Queensland, James Cook University and the states of Queensland and New South Wales used body measurements as well as genetic testing, including a nuclear DNA marker inherited by both parents, to confirm the hybridization.

The researchers made the discovery while monitoring shark populations off Australia's eastern coast. Genetic testing proved that sharks that looked to belong to one species belonged more genetically to the other, Morgan said.

Colin Simpfendorfer of James Cook University's Fishing and Fisheries Research Centre said in a statement that more work needed to be done to tie climate change to the species' hybridization.

He added that blacktip sharks are among the most understudied species in tropical Australia.

Genetic mapping will help establish how long the sharks have been interbreeding.

The phenomenon could be recent or it may have been happening unbeknownst to scientists for generations.

"The results of this research show that we still have a lot to learn about these important ocean predators," Simpfendorfer said.
