“ … 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.

West Papua Fishermen Agree to Change Fishing Practices

Two Mayalibit Bay fishing communities in Raja Ampat, West Papua have agreed to fish for fewer Indian mackerel as part of efforts to ensure the sustainability of the fish population, a conservation group said on Friday.

“We realize the importance of letting the [mackerel] breed, lay eggs and grow so that we can insure a supply of the fish, a main source of protein and livelihood for generations,” said Yonathan Wutoy, a young fisherman from Warsambin village, according to a statement released by Conservation International Indonesia (CII).

The group said fishermen in the Warsambin and Lopintol villages agreed in October to enforce some restrictions on fishing, especially during the breeding season — which lasts from September to November — during which they have agreed to stop fishing on weekends, to give the fish time to lay and fertilize their eggs. The Saturday fishing ban will extend throughout the year.

CII said the two villages made the restrictions official on Nov. 8, agreeing to conduct regular patrols and impose sanctions on violators.

A 53,100 hectare section of the bay was designated as a maritime conservation area in 2006. The mangrove forests lining that area is considered to be a good breeding ground for Lema, as the mackerel are known locally. A 2006 study found that the bay produced 144 tons of the fish that year.

Because of former abundance, Lema have been overfished, which has led to a shortage, CII said.

“In the 1980s, we could fish hundreds if not thousands of Lema in one night,” said Jufri Labago, a fisherman. “Nowadays, it is no longer like that. Even fishing the entire night will only yield dozens or sometimes nothing at all.”

Thew newly-announced restrictions are the result of a six-month campaign by CII, in cooperation with the district’s fishery office and environmental conservation group Rare.
