Whale of a Holiday
The following article contains links to shops for which I might receive a commission upon purchase. The holidays are here and it’s that time of year when everyone is sincere, people are bundled up to battle the bitter cold temperatures, drinking down that hot chocolate, watching Christmas movies, singing carols, and of course watching anything that has to do with StarWars.

Opossum Balls and my Authentic Self
Sometimes we go through our days without paying much attention. We flit from one thing to the next without considering if our actions reflect our core values. When we go through life without following our values, we lose ourselves and our ability to generate real happiness.

They Are No More
It is a sad tale of the Dodo Birds and the only places where we can see these birds now are in history museums and the pages of books. These birds were native to the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. Dodo Birds never learned to fear humans so when European settlers landed on the island in the 17th century the birds did not run and hide. Being flightless birds they could easily be caught and used for food. They were also susceptible to forest fires and floods. So unfortunately less than a century went by when Dodo Birds became extinct.

Animals in Zoos
Animals living in zoos can be a good thing depending on the circumstances. They can be good for educational purposes. It gives children and families the opportunity to see how these amazing exotic creatures live and react to their surroundings. There have been many studies to back up the fact that people learn from seeing these animals in action, but there is much controversy in the way that it is done.

Whale “Sanctuaries” Over Right Whales?
On October 29th, 2021, the anti-zoo group known as “The Whale Sanctuary Project” (WSP) announced the opening of its visitor center in Sherbrooke, Nova Scotia. The group claims the public wants to see zoo and aquarium-housed cetaceans live in sea pen-based “sanctuaries” rather than in pool-based inland facilities or in lagoon facilities not operating under a donation/tax-payer income model. The visitor center is a small in-house exhibit containing anti-zoo propaganda that discourages people from visiting modern zoos and aquariums that display cetaceans (The Canadian Press, 2021).
