John Gray and his 'sock coffee'

Share

There are a number of things that John Grey tries to adhere to and one of them is the coffee that he serves on the boat on his excursions.

It is made in a traditional sock manner - the tastes is quite strong and I needed sugar.

Think next time you go shopping or eat KFC

If it's this bad in the USA (see link), imagine how bad it is in Thailand - every time you go to KFC! And think of the chemicals that go into the chickens - including Ya-Ba so they lay 10-12 eggs a day instead of one. 

This is why on our trips we only use free range chicken and eggs. I'm vegan, so if I had my choice we wouldn't even serve chicken, but we are in service to the public so we have to appease the carnivores out there. 

Think about it the next time you go shopping, or eat at KFC! 

At least we don't eat dog in Thailand!

Whale Slaughter

Share

PLEASE SHARE THIS TO GET THE WORD OUT!!!

The grind - a tragic slaughter of pilot whales who's peak killing months occur in the summer months in the Faroe Islands is just a month a way.. 

Each grind begins by locals using their boats to herd hundreds of these defenceless mammals onto a beach where the entire town has come to bear witness to the slaughter of their family...each whale is subjected to hours of extreme stress while they attempt to escape to the open waters, many are injured in the process, in the end the faroese use hooks, knives, & clubs to kill each whale a process they state takes 2 minutes... 

What they don't tell you is during this 2 min the whale is bludgeoned with a club, stabbed with a knife several times in order to kill the whale quickly they must reach the main artery.. In that process they must get through several layers of blubber which often takes several minutes and attempts.. All the while the pilot whale screams, cries, and sees what is going on around them to the rest of its pod..

 What do I add?

Abusing of Seals!!!!!!!!!!!

permission requested care2.com

Excuse me, I starting going to La Jolla cove about 1950. In those days we drove right up to the rock wall and always had a parking place. NOBODY even considered harassing the marine life, let alone the seals. 

In one sense I am glad to be all the way across the Pacific so I don't see the harassment, and in another way I want to be there to "harass" the barbarians who are abusing the seals Whatever for? 

Let's never forget they were there first!
