“ … Here is another one. A change in what Human nature will allow for government. "Careful, Kryon, don't talk about politics. You'll get in trouble." I won't get in trouble. I'm going to tell you to watch for leadership that cares about you. "You mean politics is going to change?" It already has. It's beginning. Watch for it. 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.

They're going to fall over, you know, because the energy of the population will not sustain an old energy leader ..."

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.

Iceland’s lone fin whaler hangs up harpoon

IceNews, 17 May 2012.

Environmental groups have welcomed the news that Iceland’s lone fin whaler is abandoning the hunt this year. Kristjan Loftsson, who has harpooned 280 of the gentle giants over the past six years, told the local media that he will not be participating in this year’s season.

Loftsson’s commercial whaling activities have put Iceland in Barack Obama’s bad books, with the US president announcing last year that the country could face numerous diplomatic measures if it continued with the cruel practice. Earlier in the year the Pelly Amendment was invoked by US Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke, who condemned Iceland for disregarding the global ban on commercial whaling.

Loftsson, who exports the meat to his own company in Japan, apparently made his decision after failing to agree with the Association of Icelandic Fishermen about conditions and salaries for deckhands working onboard his ship. According to media reports, he also claims the Japanese demand for whale meat has not recovered after the 2011 tsunami.

The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) has welcomed the news, but pointed out that minke whales are still being slaughtered in Iceland. Last year, the two Icelandic companies that hunt the whales caught 58 minke, while the first victims of this whaling season were harpooned in recent weeks.

IFAW last year launched a ‘Meet Us Don’t Eat Us’ campaign in Iceland, aimed at encouraging tourists to avoid eating whale meat and to support whale watching and conservation schemes. It also hopes to convince whalers that conservation activities are a profitable and sustainable alternative to hunting.

Robbie Marsland, UK Director of IFAW, said, “We are delighted to hear that no more fin whales will be cruelly and needlessly slaughtered in Iceland. We are also pleased to hear Mr Loftsson acknowledge that this outdated industry is uneconomic. This is exactly what IFAW-commissioned research has shown over recent years; it is just a shame that 280 fin whales had to die in this failed commercial experiment.”
