Rescued Snake Saves Chinese Family
A sick snake which was rescued by a family in China and nursed back to health has repaid the family’s kindness by saving their lives.
Yu Feng, of Fushun, in Liaoning province found the dying snake outside his home a few weeks ago and decided to try and help it survive. Feng treated the snake with herbal remedies until it made a full recovery, he then released the snake back into the wild but to his surprise the reptile travelled more than a mile to return to his house.
“I then set it free another two times, but it always came back,” Feng told the Liaosheng Evening Post.
“People around me said the snake had come back to repay my kindness, so I kept it” he added.
Feng named the snake Long Long and kept it as a pet, then he revealed how the serpent saved his life and the lives of his family one night.
“I was asleep when suddenly I felt something cold on my face. I opened my eyes and it was Long Long” Feng explained.
“He had never woken me up before but I was so sleepy I went back to sleep. But Long Long grabbed my clothes with histeeth and whipped the bed with his tail. Then he went to my mother’s bed and whipped her bed with his tail. I woke up then and smelt something burning, and saw my mother’s electric blanket was on fire so I leapt up and turned it off. But for him, we might have died.”

Frog Hitches Ride With Snake During Oz Flood
When floods hit Queensland, Australia, it seemed as though frogs were out of luck. But one frog did in fact make it to safety when aid came from a most unlikely source, a snake! The snake let the frog hop right on top of him and brought him safely to shore. This unusual event seems to go against nature, but one onlooker says animals often help one another during natural disasters, even if it means going against their natural instincts. We can’t help but smile when we think of this surprising friendship!
Computer technician Armin Gerlach was visiting friends in the flood-hit town of Dalby, located in the state’s south-east when he spotted this unlikely pair. He felt amazement and just couldn’t believe what he saw.
Animals in floods or fires or disasters, they actually get together and don’t do anything. People have seen foxes and rabbits forget their hunting instincts during times of crisis.

Haridasa Thakura, a great devotee of Lord Sri Caitanya, used to live in such a cave, and by chance a great venomous snake was a co-partner of the cave. Some admirer of Thakura Haridasa who had to visit the Thakura every day feared the snake and suggested that the Thakura leave that place. Because his devotees were afraid of the snake and they were regularly visiting the cave, Thakura Haridasa agreed to the proposal on their account. But as soon as this was settled, the snake actually crawled out of its hole in the cave and left the cave for good before everyone present. By the dictation of the Lord, who lived also within the heart of the snake, the snake gave preference to Haridasa and decided to leave the place and not disturb him. |

Rabbit Saves A Family
A quick-thinking pet rabbit, called simply Rabbit, saved an Australian couple from a fire that started in their house while they were sleeping. The rabbit woke the couple, Michelle Finn and her partner Gerry Keogh, by scratching on their bedroom door when smoke poured through the house in the Macleod area of Melbourne. Gerry went to investigate and after a while he discovered a fire in a back room and smoke spreading quickly through the house. Thanks to the smart rabbit, Michelle and Gerry were able to escape unharmed. The house completely burnt down to ashes.
But all the rabbits are not as lucky as this one to have a loving home. Millions of rabbits are living in testing laboratories around the World where they undergo horrific tortures.
Rabbits in these laboratories are routinely blinded by having various products forced into their eyes. This is called Draize Test. The Draize test does not guarantee human safety but protects companies from potential lawsuits by their customers. Their necks are stuck in wooden or metal traps, their eyes are kept open by clips and for days or weeks, harmful chemicals are poured in their eyes. Due to struggling to get free, they suffer broken necks and turn blind. Most of them die soon after.

All other living entities think like yourself. That means your pains and pleasure that you feel, you should take others pains and pleasure. Not that you protect yourself from all danger and you cut the throat of the poor animals on the plea that it has no soul. This is not education. |

Animal Testing - Millions Live In Agony, Only To Die In Vain
As many as 320 million animals are experimented on and killed in laboratories around the world every year. Experimentation means things like pumping chemicals into rats' stomachs, hacking muscle tissue from dogs' thighs, and putting baby monkeys in isolation chambers far from their mothers.
Animal experimentation is a multibillion-dollar industry fueled by massive public funding and involving a complex web of corporate, government, and university laboratories, cage and food manufacturers, and animal breeders, dealers, and transporters.
The industry and its people profit because animals, who cannot defend themselves against abuse, are legally imprisoned and exploited.
Fortunately for animals in laboratories, there are people who care. Some of them work in labs, and when they witness abuse, they call PETA. Thanks to these courageous whistleblowers, PETA's undercover investigators and caseworkers, who sift through reams of scientific and government documents, have exposed what goes on behind laboratory doors.

Animal Experimentation Is Unnecessary
Medical Research on animals accounts for only 2% of medical advances in this century. At least 10 billion dollars are poured into animal experiments every year around the world.
Modern life is characterized by a total lack of reverence towards life, both human and non-human. Cruelty has existed in human society since time immemorial but in modern times, it has become industrialized. Cruelty has taken the shape of a global industry and the world has never witnessed such institutionalization of barbarism. People always killed animals for food, entertainment or fur etc. but killing in mechanized industrial slaughterhouses is a modern invention. Animals were never transported thousands of miles for killing and neither ever existed global marketing networks in animal products.

Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is: “Because the animals are like us.” Ask the experimenters why it is morally okay to experiment on animals, and the answer is: “Because the animals are not like us.” Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction. |
