War—What is it good for?
US researchers estimate that 655,000 Iraqis, or around one in 40 of the Iraq population, have died as a result of the 2003 invasion of their country, according to a study published by the British journal The Lancet. “Entire households could have been killed, leading to survivor bias." "Although such death rates might be common in times of war, the combination of a long duration and tens of millions of people affected has made this the deadliest international conflict of the 21st century,"

On Making a Difference — The Story of the Starfish
Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.
One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.
He came closer still and called out “Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?”
The young man paused, looked up, and replied, “Throwing starfish into the ocean.”
“I must ask then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?” asked the somewhat startled wise man.
To this the young man replied, “The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.”
Upon hearing this, the wise man commented,” But young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can’t possibly make a difference!”
At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, “It made a difference for that one.” - Author Unknown |

Words of Wisdom
After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand, and chaining a soul, And company doesn’t mean security… And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts, And present aren’t promises, And you begin to accept your defects with your head held up and your eyes open, With the Grace of a woman—not the grief of a child, And you learn to build all your roads on today, Because tomorrows ground is too uncertain for plans, And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. And after a while you learn that even sunshine burns ...if you get too much
So you plant your own garden And decorate your own soul, Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers And you learn that you really can endure, And you really are strong, And that you really do have worth, And you learn, and you learn…
Grow and blossom

Every year, World Laboratory Animal Week helps raise awareness about the millions of dogs, cats, monkeys and other animals who suffer cruel torture and death in laboratories all over the world, when there are more efficient, cheaper, humane and speedy alternatives! For more information on the topic of animal testing click here.
There are many cosmetic companies that definitely do not test on animals such as Attitudeline, Avon, Lush, Earth’s Beauty, Jurlique, Sundog, Sukin, Trilogy, Perfect Potion, Natio, L’Occitanne, Vitale, and Innoxa. However, there are many companies, even some of the best known cosmetic companies, that say they do not test animals but do, and get around the legal criteria by outsourcing their animal testing to other countries and laboratories. So if you want an accurate list of companies that absolutely do not test their ingredients or new products on animals, contact animal welfare organizations such as PETA, Vegetarian Society of Qld, AL QLD, Animals Australia and Humane Societies. |
