"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe him to be worthy of such devotion."
Only one out of a thousand baby sea turtles survives after hatching. In nature, once they emerge, hatchlings make bite-sized meals for birds, crabs and a host of predators in the ocean. These natural threats, however, are not the reasons sea turtle populations have plummeted toward extinction. To understand what really threatens sea turtle survival, we must look at the actions of humans. In many cultures around the world, people still harvest sea turtle eggs for consumption. Most countries forbid the taking of eggs, but enforcement is lax, poaching is rampant, and the eggs can often be found for sale in local markets. In these same areas, adult sea turtles are harvested for their meat. Turtle products, such as jewelry made from hawksbill shells, also create a direct threat to sea turtles.
Merle's Door- Lessons from a Freethinking Dog by Ted Kerasote (Call number: 636.70929 KER) Funny, amazing and tender, this book is a moving true love story that reveals how the partnership between dogs and humans can become far more than we have imagined! Merle and Ted found each other in the Utah desert. Merle was about ten months old, surviving on his own, and hoping to find someone to hang his heart on. Ted who likes to write about animals had been searching for a pup whom he could shape into a companion. The training went both ways. Ted showed Merle how to live around wildlife, and Merle reshaped Ted's ideas about the complexity of a dog's mind by showing him how a dog's intelligence could be expanded by allowing it to make of its own decisions. Acting as Merle's translator, and using Merle's life and lessons as a door into the world of dogs, Ted explores why the dog-human bond is so intense and how the people and dogs can communicate readily with each other. This exquisitely written book raises many important questions that every thoughtful dog owner should consider.

人类的智慧、复杂、多变,有时让我们告别了许多自然界的规律。
男女的社会地位与角色不断改变、互动以取得平衡。现在有多少女性会选择带着孩子窝在避雨处,让男方挺身保护。又有多少男生还保有捍卫家庭的责任感。小女人找得到大男人吗?大女人和小男人又如何颠覆了以往传统的男女和谐呢?
人生,有趣也。

很高兴看到不同角度的反思,很有见地。
我在写这篇短文时,是感慨人类在育儿、保护家人方面在某些时候都不如动物。虎毒不食子,我们经常可以看到动物爱护幼崽的情景,"舐犊情深",这是一种本能。
但近几年,新闻频频报导父母亲如何杀害亲生儿女:丢下楼、逼食安眠药、甚至蓄意在孩子身上进行精神及肉体上的虐待。
George Carlin 说得没错:
The paradox of our time in history-
We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgement, more experts yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness...
We have multiplied our posessions, but reduced our values...
These are days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes...
社会不断在进步,人性却也不断在退化。
我比较悲观,人生不有趣,而是可悲。
