Water is a precious resource of life...

Good Afternoon All...

Happy Meat Free Monday....yes i hardly ever say that but today i got an e-mail from them that was super interesting!...

Mmmmm, wait I'm a lil unsure if you even know what Meat Free Monday is? Ok lets play on the safe side.
Fry's ( A brand that produces soy products like, chicken strips, mince, Vienna's, sausages, Patty's etc. They launched a campaign awhile back that asks all meat eaters to give up meat for one day and that day is Monday...CLEVER RIGHT?

Well they send all the update and all the other stat's and today a nice lil fact thingy!

Here it is...

 The Water Footprint Network has calculated the volume of water needed to produce many common foodstuffs. The following figures are estimates:


Product Litres of Water

1 sheet of A4 paper 10
1 slice of wheat bread 40
1 apple 70
1 cup of coffee 140
1 litre of milk 1000
1 kg of barley 1300
1 kg of rice 3000
1 kg of chicken 3900
1 kg of cheese 5000
1 kg of pork 5000
1 kg of cotton 11000
1 kg of beef 16000
1 kg of leather 16600

Now i wasn't taken that back by these figures cause we all know it's a no brainer that meat is bad for the environment...damn don't even get me started on that again!

Facts - such lovely lil things, fact's are the only thing that make all meat eaters shut there mouth when it comes to veganism and vegetarianism...really relaxing actually, the peacefulness of silence AHH. I love smearing good old facts with poop in their faces...don't get me wrong i don't dislike them because of their dietary choices but i sure as hell don't like those arrogant people who ask the stupidest question in the whole entire planet..."WELL IF YOU DON'T EAT MEAT....WHAT DO YOU EAT??" OMG, there's nothing like somebody looking at you and say -Hi, I'm stupid.ARG!!

I'm niffy today, mrff, I'm desperately trying to find a vet in my area that will allow me to volunteer at their hospital on the weekends so that i can see what goes on and if being a vet looks appealing....But you think these freaking places need help - nope - i mean COME ON....help a sister out man...hehe ( so gangster )

And i really don't want to go to the SPCA or any other shelters like that because they would keep me by the kennels doing loving and snoogles for the animals....I'm not complaining but i really want to see consultations and surgery....ESPECIALLY SURGERY!

But no either they don't take on volunteers or they only do one day once off in the week like a job shadowing thingy....AHHH...irritating I'm telling you.

Any who i gotta dash...i have so much to do since it's glorious Monday.

When the masks fall down, place over the face and pull the strings first, then help the others.

I've always wondered how that works....ok, ok lets start at the beginning -

Anyone that has flown anywhere will know the regular safety regime, where the air hostess's show you the exits and they tell you not to blow up your life jacket in the plane....etc, etc - but remember the part where if there isn't much oxygen then yellow lil masks will pop out of the ceiling where all the air con fan things that don't really help jack squat are....then the procedure is to put your mask on and pull the elastic thingys...but they always say do yours first ( for the parents, before you put on yours )....

Firstly i think that's kinda selfish and secondly what mother or father would save themselves first before helping their own children? It's just stupid...When we as adults see the mask pop out, you can immediately hold your breath, put your child's mask on and then yourself...NO, let the children suffocate a bit while you fit your mask...pish, NEWS FLASH!! The parents that you are telling to do the mask thing really won't do it that way...they would most defiantly rather die then have their kids peg!!

Ok but that's off the topic...now we all know the lil animal section in the plane....oooh, I've always wanted to go down and hang out with the animals, that would be way more entertaining than on flight movies and lil brochures that try and make you by poop you don't really want but since your bored, you'll shop anyway.
I HATE FLYING...really, i've travelled so much overseas and mainly by myself,  I've been doing it since i was young, but the big laugh in my family is, i can never not get picked up on a plane...REALLY, I HATE IT! Some by me jewellery and other give me their number, hell I've even been asked to join the mile high club...poof...once i went through a whole aeroplane trip with out being picked up....it was such a pleasant flight as soon as i got off i had a smile on my face because it had seemed that my luck had turned....well believe me that thought was short lived, i got to the customs office and the guy asked me for my number!!!WTF.........

So you get the idea as to why hanging with the animals is better?

Well the FREAK OUT SADNESS is that 750 Grey African Parrots died on one flight....not from the plane crashing - Nope...but from lack of oxygen...well that's what they think...plus this quarantine thing for animals is really stupid....imagine if you just got off a 12 hr flight and then  they tell you that you have to sit in a room for 3 weeks until your passport has been cleared...I'd tell them where to stick it...

I get the lil creams and lil waters...ok it's for safety regulations, bla, bla, bla...but quarantine??

If i had to go overseas and live there i would never take my lil Chihuahua Blossom....i don't think she would be able to take it mentally...she would go crazy ( SERIOUSLY )...if an animal is used to the wild or a garden etc, how on earth will they be able to sit in a cage for 2-3 weeks?

So yup...the parrots all died, they were healthy and peachy in the Congo and then all these bird freaks who wanted hundreds, flew them from "door unnercant" ( on the other end of the world ) It's slang - bare with me...and where did they die...from a simple flight from DURBAN TO JOHANNESBURG...wonderful ( major amount of sarcasm and frustration ).

Wanna know which airline was responsible...1TIME....ARG!!! How could they??\
How could they take all those parrots away from their home???
How could they allow this tragedy to occur???
Who is going to jail for all these deaths?..........................You know the answer of this one...NO ONE!!!!

So to all the males out there who is brave enough to make a statement for those parrots and to give them a voice....I've flown 1TIME....they don't board you via a tunnel, you have to go on the planes runway to climb into the plane ( CHEAP IDIOTS ).........my solution.....

PEE ON THE PLANE.....I'm not joking...PEE ON THE PLANE!!!

Mwah hahaha ( evil laugh )................And for us girls....NEVER EVER FLY 1TIME AGAIN.!!!

But to end this Friday blog post ....YAY it's Friday! I'd like to say...
Some of us weren't born to fly...so keep that in mind when it comes to animals travels.

OOOOHHH....I have to squeeze this in - Did you know, that it has been proven by the Northwestern University of Chicago, that soya help prevent breast and prostrate cancer!!!

Can all animals swim?

Ok so this flooding thing was initially a shock....but then again i wanted to stand with a huge microphone and say to the world - "I FREAKING TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!!!"

HELLO GLOBAL WARMING! I mean here i have been saying don't eat meat because it produces so many cows that the world is being effected by their effect on the planet....First - I TOLD YOU SO

I kept on saying that recycling is important and that everyone should do their bit....Second - I TOLD YOU SO

Global warming is happening faster than we think and thousands are going to die, we need to act now...Third - I TOLD YOU SO

These have all been stated in my past blog posts. But in this case i really am not happy that i am right.

Australia, Australia....OMG Brisbane - freak out!! But does anyone know that S.A is sinking to?

Really their are so many floods happening here - and worst of all - THE HARTEBEESPOORT ZOO IS FLOODED TOO!!!!

Now my question is...have they also put the animals house flooding at one of the top places on their list? I blady well hope so!!

Imagine...I didn't get any stats of how many animals and reptiles are dead or how many of them were missing...why? They are even more defenseless because they are in cages!

So after freaking out i checked and apparently all animals can swim and reptiles too except gorilla's and chimpanzees...they have to be taught just like us but all of them can, PHEW. Still doesn't help if they are trapped in a cage...

Mmmmm...
