A sad story..



Good afternoon my friends:

Today Im gonna publish my last post on this blog (I hope), and this is about the animal rights. I think the animal rights are a pending issue in Chile. Sometimes I see in Facebook or Youtube a lot of videos and images about animal abuse. There are people who enjoy hurting animals like dogs, cats, horses, birds, etc… and the worst of all is that these animals are their pets in the most of cases. 
Currently, I don’t know so much animal organizations. I remember had one of these organizations near my house. It was called “Sociedad Protectora de Animales” and they used to pick up abandoned animals, most of them were dogs, and to keep them inside of the building of this organization. They had dogs, cats and some birds. Actually, one friend of mine gave me a cat as a gift, but the cat was sick, and one week later he dies. So I decided to go to the Sociedad Protectora de Animales to ask why my cat dies so fast and apparently because no reasons. So I talk to the vet, and he said to me the cat died because an infection he got before he arrive to my house, in the building of the organization. That was the answer.
Later, after a couple of weeks, I was watching the news on TV, and the Sociedad Protectora the Animales appeared on a scandal. Happened that it was an enormous virus around the entire building, and the animals were dying in huge amounts, and the Sociedad, the only thing they did, was thrown away in bags, with no care about the reason because they were dying. Finally, the virus spread around my neighborhood, and a lot of more pets died. It is a very sad and real story, and I choose it to share with you to beware about the animal organizations, and to demand with you more care for the animals and also to demand respect with the animal rights soon.

Save the Planet !



Good afternoon classmates. 
Today I’m gonna talk about ecological stuffs, because the world is very contaminated, and doing ecological practices, like reciclyng, we can help the world and save us. For example I ussually ride on a bike, and I try to get anywhere on it. I think this practice saves the planet, because is a car less, and in a city like Santiago, without the ideal ventilation or frecuent rains, the polution produced by a car is important. I think everybody has to ride on bikes to move to one place or another because is very good sport and you save the planet. About recycling, I can’t tell you so much… I’m not a recycler, and principally is because my environment offers no spaces or fixed politics about this practice. But when I see a recycling trash container, as there is in my campus, I recycle. But, and I insist, is because the society who offers no recycling politics the reason of how little the people reciclyng. That in the case of Chile. In other places arround the world, the recycling practices and other ecological stuff are highly encouraged, and exist so many organizations which aims are cleaning and save the planet. One of this organizations is Greenpeace. I receive mails of this organization sometimes, and this is the way I find the information of the progess or the abuses on nature by man, and most of this information, currently, is about Hydroaysen, the mega project that will destroy the chilean Patagonia. Things like this project are so stupid, on my opinión, because we must take care of our environment or we gonna live on a world made of plastic and cement.
Thats all…
