THE PERFECT PAIR DOLPHIN TRILOGY AUTHORS - GETTING NON-ACTIVISTS ON THE ACTIVIST TRAIN

7/1/2022

With 2021 behind us, we – as a collective – must ask ourselves: what has humankind achieved in the past year?

Well, despite mind-blowing feats in tech, medicine and virology, it appears to be very little.

We find ourselves living in a world stricken by Covid and ravaged by climate change - man-made catastrophes that will inevitably drive desperate nations to turn in on themselves - or worse, on their global neighbours.

Overall, not good news for 2022.

Picture
So, how did we get here? How have we managed to drag ourselves into this self-inflicted spiral of doom?

Well, let’s examine the facts:

We’re hearing a lot about climate change, but not about the catastrophic ramifications of animal abuse. Make no mistake, the potential for mass extinction is not down to climate change alone; it is also about humankind’s greed and lack of empathy - especially towards those non-human beings who have no voice.

Covid, bird flu, swine flu, Ebola, SARS, MERS, BSE (mad cow disease) to name but a few – all, and I do mean ALL, are animal karmas brought about by humankind’s inhumanity towards those non-human souls with whom we share this planet. By this, I refer to the abuse of animals in the food industry and laboratories across the globe.

We can add to this the ongoing mass extinction of our precious sea and land animals by greedy, uncaring hunters - horrors that include the barbaric whale and dolphin slaughters committed by so-called civilized nations such as Japan, the Faroe Islands and others. The reckless over-fishing and rape of our oceans by Chinese factory ships, to say nothing of the Asian demand for ivory and body parts to create hocus-pocus, mumbo-jumbo, sham “medications”. Insane practices that global offenders try to justify with equally insane excuses, ie tradition, alternative medicine, fashion accessories … and, of course, their God-given right. In other words, a planetary destruction fuelled by overpopulation, money and power.

Picture
So, we ask: when is this madness going to end? Well, it appears NEVER if left to our spineless world leaders, who are afraid to challenge offending nations in case they lose their precious trade deals, and – even worse – in case the challengers’ own offences are brought to light.

Well, enough is enough!

If things don’t change radically, we as a species will continue our not-so-slow drift into oblivion. And those who suffer most will be our children. But, as I am constantly told, we must remain positive. So, with this in mind, can I ask you all to start the new year by doing something positive: UK citizens please sign this petition against the Faroe Islands’ Grind (whale and dolphin slaughter).

Suspend trade agreement with Faroe Islands until all whale & dolphin hunts end - Petitions (parliament.uk)

As many of you will know, we from The Perfect Pair Dolphin Trilogy have constantly pushed this petition posted by well-known UK personality Dominic Dyer. But, whilst doing so, we have made one vital observation: the petition is reaching activists, but there simply aren’t enough UK activists to bring this petition to Parliament. We NEED the signatures of non-activists, too! So, can we urge EVERYONE to share this blog to non-activist friends, because without their help, this petition will go nowhere, and our Government will be free to hide behind the excuse that “not enough people care”.

Let’s put our UK Government in the uncomfortable position of facing up to its responsibilities. Let’s hear what excuses our elected voices can muster in a Parliamentary debate.

Can we also ask all international activists who cannot sign this petition to continue to share this blog and encourage their UK friends and family to sign and promote it.

Thank you for reading.

Thank you for your comment, Allison. It's good to know that there are people like you out there fighting for the rights of animals.

As authors of The Perfect Pair Dolphin Trilogy and the Belinda Fellgate series, we are constantly pushing the message of compassion towards all animals, although our expertise is in cetaceans.

We never wanted to "preach to the converted" through our work, as that trail leads nowhere. We must enlighten those good people who are so consumed with their everyday lives that they don't question the actions of society. Change can only come with the help of these people.

Thank you again for your input, Allison.

Thank you for your comment, Leotien. You are quite right - the stakes have never been higher. Yet most people would prefer to get on with their lives whilst hiding their head in the sand. Not quite as easy nowadays with Covid gripping the planet. Yet another animal karma.

It is always a pleasure to feature the work of a dedicated activist.

Thanks again, Leotien, for your input - and for all your work in highlighting the plight of our planet and our animal friends.

Hi David, I absolutely love this blog, I love the fact everything was touched on, from animal diseases to the constant & reoccurring horrors & slaughter ALL animals have faced and continue to face by the hands of humans across the globe. What could be quite a shock is the amount of countries that not only know about this, they are also involved in it. This is why the Petition, "Suspend trade agreement with Faroe Islands until all whale & dolphin hunts end" is so important and so vital.

If more and more activists and non-activists knew about this, knew about the atrocious that continue to take place, if they take a stand, things CAN change, things MUST change, for the sake of all animals across the globe

Yet another impassioned comment, Nico. You really do grasp our messages about abuse and captivity! It gives us great pride to think that we, as authors, have played a small part in the moulding of an outstanding activist such as you. Friends like you keep us going when the chips are down.

As for your comment, we could not agree with you more. Your appraisal is perfect. Only by working together can we, as a collective, have any hope of stopping these terrible slaughters - the reason why we ask all our readers to sign the Dominic Dyer petition against the Faroe Island. You published the link in your comment, and we repeat it here.

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/597171

The deadline is 21st March 2022. If we don't make 100,000 signatures, this petition will not achieve UK Parliamentary debate, and all our efforts will have been wasted.

Thanks again for your comment, Nico. Always a pleasure to hear from you!

They certainly do, Djamila. That's why we are pushing the Dominic Dyer UK petition against the Faroe Islands.

We urge all activists to persuade their family and friends to sign this petition. It had come to a full stop, but has jumped by about 4,000 names since The Perfect Pair Dolphin Trilogy started pushing it. We can bring this to the 100,000 names required if we all pull together.

However, time is running out. By 22nd March, if not enough people have signed, this petition will not reach the UK Parliament. So, everyone, please push. And remember this is not about activist politics, it is about saving dolphins and whales.

Thank you for taking time to comment, Djamila.
