Imagine leaving your work place and going out into the carpark only to find a polar bear collapsed in the middle of it. What would you do?
What if it was a tiger or an elephant ?
Starved poisoned or run over, a wounded animal in you car park.
Would you walk past, ignore it or leave it for someone else to deal with?
No. Even if it was a pigeon lying there with a broken wing the majority of people would try to help it or phone someone who could, the vets, zoo or RSPCA for example.
I ask this because just the other day my friend told me a story of six people in a car park trying to help an injured pigeon.Six of them trying to help one poor wounded rat on wings .
If we could only see the result of our careless distruction of this planet with our own eyes, we would all think twice about the products we buy ,the petrol we consume and the pollution we cause.
If we could all only see for ourselves, a starving polar bear in our carpark.

They also work brilliantly as marketing tools, want to pitch something with 'eco friendly' even if it blantantly isnt, whack a cuddly endangered animal on there.Bingo. | | Nod+ (0) | Report | Follow |

 | | Bluehound - 2010-06-24 00:44:04 | | | I know what you mean BigCol, this revelation came to me the other day as I listened to the story of 6 people trying to save a pigeon. They really wanted to help it and yet the same 6 probably jumped in their 6 separate cars and zoomed off home to boil 6 kettles , cook 6 dinners and pollute a load of water with 6 lots of washing up. Which is pretty much what I did the other day (not 6 lots, just the one mind). Most of us are not bad people we are just divorced form the consequences of our actions, I am guilty as everyone else. And yes NG, most decent people would feel bad for a snake ,skunk or tarantula in pain in front of them, we just need to apply the same principals globaly. | | Nod+ (0) | Report | Follow |

| | BigCol - 2010-06-23 22:12:20 | | | I can’t help feeling that one of the reasons this post has received 4 nods and, so far, not many comments is because, like me, most people don’t know what to say. I’ve ended up feeling very hypocritical. I put a post up the other day urging people to care about the lifting of the ban on whaling because I care about what we’re doing to them and endangering them as a species, and here I am now following Bluehound’s lead and caring about the same course we are imposing on the polar bears and yet I don’t want to go without my car and all the luxuries we get from the pollution we cause. Hmmmmm! Confused.com. | | Nod+ (0) | Report | Follow |

 | | TheWizard - 2010-06-23 21:38:54 | | | Well if I came out of Sainsburys and saw a Polar Bear collapsed in the parking lot. I would run to my car, lock the doors, get the f**k out of there and call the police to get a vet to shoot the bastard before it started eating a few customers! | | Nod+ (0) | Report | Follow |
