Question: Dear Kryon: I live in Spain. I am sorry if I will ask you a question you might have already answered, but the translations of your books are very slow and I might not have gathered all information you have already given. I am quite concerned about abandoned animals. It seems that many people buy animals for their children and as soon as they grow, they set them out somewhere. Recently I had the occasion to see a small kitten in the middle of the street. I did not immediately react, since I could have stopped and taken it, without getting out of the car. So, I went on and at the first occasion I could turn, I went back to see if I could take the kitten, but it was to late, somebody had already killed it. This happened some month ago, but I still feel very sorry for that kitten. I just would like to know, what kind of entity are these animals and how does this fit in our world. Are these entities which choose this kind of life, like we do choose our kind of Human life? I see so many abandoned animals and every time I see one, my heart aches... I would like to know more about them.

Answer: Dear one, indeed the answer has been given, but let us give it again so you all understand. Animals are here on earth for three (3) reasons.

(1) The balance of biological life. . . the circle of energy that is needed for you to exist in what you call "nature."

(2) To be harvested. Yes, it's true. Many exist for your sustenance, and this is appropriate. It is a harmony between Human and animal, and always has. Remember the buffalo that willingly came into the indigenous tribes to be sacrificed when called? These are stories that you should examine again. The inappropriateness of today's culture is how these precious creatures are treated. Did you know that if there was an honoring ceremony at their death, they would nourish you better? Did you know that there is ceremony that could benefit all of humanity in this way. Perhaps it's time you saw it.

(3) To be loved and to love. For many cultures, animals serve as surrogate children, loved and taken care of. It gives Humans a chance to show compassion when they need it, and to have unconditional love when they need it. This is extremely important to many, and provides balance and centering for many.

Do animals know all this? At a basic level, they do. Not in the way you "know," but in a cellular awareness they understand that they are here in service to planet earth. If you honor them in all three instances, then balance will be the result. Your feelings about their treatment is important. Temper your reactions with the spiritual logic of their appropriateness and their service to humanity. Honor them in all three cases.

Europe committed to sustainable fishing

RNW, 15 July 2011, by Willemien Groot

Unless action is taken, the last fish in the Mediterranean could be on our plate within a matter of years. Europe's fishermen now have to make a real shift towards sustainability insists the European Commission. A new package of sustainable fishing measures is now on the table. And these measures will also apply outside European waters, so that Africa and Latin America will also reap the benefits.

Overfishing is a global problem, but the situation in European waters is especially serious. According to European Fisheries Commissioner Maria Damanaki, 83 percent of all species in the Mediterranean Sea are overfished, as are 63 percent of stocks in the Atlantic Ocean.

Brussels is setting its sights high: it wants the fishing grounds to have recovered to such an extent in 2015 that responsible fishing is once again possible. A survival plan for all fish species will be developed to guarantee their long-term future.

Recovery plan

For proof that the recovery of heavily exploited species is possible, we need look no further than the increase of plaice, herring and mackerel in the North Sea. Dutch fishermen, conservation groups and the Ministry worked together on a recovery plan. And the Netherlands should be doing more to advertise the success of the plan says Irene Kingma of Ocean2012, a platform for around 100 NGOs that advocate sustainable fishing.

We should be demonstrating how it can be done. That's one of our main appeals to the Minister: do your best to promote this in Europe. Because you know that the Spanish minister will present a very different story, with a starring role for the poor fisherman who can't earn a crust anymore.

European trawlers’ association PFA is also advocating the widespread acknowledgement of Dutch practices. PFA trawlers catch shoal fish such as herring and mackerel and freeze them on board. The association works closely with environmental groups. “It would be good to draw on the experiences of the people who actually do the work when developing a management plan,” says PFA chairman Gerard van Balsfoort.

Illegal fishing

Now that fish stocks in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic are under threat, fishermen are casting their nets wider and heading for the West African coast. There, Spanish and Asian factory ships in particular form a growing threat to the livelihood of local fishermen.

In 2009, Greenpeace discovered that half the vessels fishing in these waters were there illegally. Most of the offenders were Chinese and Korean. The environmental group says the illegally caught fish is routed via the Canary Islands and ends up on the European market.

Guarantees

The members of the PFA came up with solutions that can profit both the fishing industry and the local authorities. One such solution is in Mauritania, where freezer trawlers catch herring and mackerel off the coast, species that are of little or no interest to local fishermen. In exchange for these fishing rights, Mr Van Balsfoort explains, Mauritania receives payment that accounts for “between ten and twenty percent of GNP”.

Mauritania channels part of this revenue into developing its local fisheries. “We fish in Mauritania under an EU agreement which contains so many guarantees that the fishing can be described as well controlled, and even includes scientific practices. Our fishing in Mauritania is sustainable.”

International allure

If the European Commission gets its way and the individual member states impose sustainable measures on their fishermen, Irene Kingma of Ocean2012 believes that this will have major repercussions. The Union also communicates its internal stance to the wider world, within the United Nations for example. “The EU is actively exerting pressure on Asian countries to adapt their fishing practices. And that’s having a favourable effect on West Africa’s coastal states.”

Irene Kingma hopes that the EU will keep a close eye on its agreements with third countries. This is particularly important for the Latin American region, regarded as a growth market by European fishermen. Spanish trawlers have been sighted there with increasing frequency and the Netherlands is also keen to explore the possibility of fishing there. But everything must be done to ensure that the decimation of Mediterranean fish stocks is not repeated in other parts of the world.
