Somehow, killing Cecil the Lion, who belongs to an endangered species has become a hot topic of discussion world wide with multiple social media platforms reporting about this inane act by a man who can be best described as 'toothless', ironically also a dentist who has now apparently shut office after the news went viral. Well, its not the first time someone has 'sportingly' killed a wild animal and posed next to their prized trophy, for Fun ? We humans are responsible for the killing of countless animals everyday for food, which some believe is still better than killing them as a sport. The pain an animal goes through is the same whether we kill for food or just for kicks to boost our own egos.


The killing of Cecil the Lion has outraged thousands worldwide, and should sensitize us humans towards other animals we torment continually. Here are some interesting videos about the killing of Cecil the Lion making headlines all over ....





Jimmy Kimmel shares his thoughts on the Minnesota dentist who illegally killed a lion who was a local favorite in Zimbabwe.


A Minnesota dentist, Dr. Walter J Palmer has been identified as the hunter who killed Cecil the Lion, a popular attraction in Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park.


An interesting video from a Vegan about the positive side of this incident ...


Walter James Palmer, an American game hunter reportedly paid US$50,000 to a professional hunter, Theo Bronkhorst, to enable him to kill a lion. Cecil was allegedly lured out of the sanctuary where he was shot and wounded with an arrow. He was allegedly tracked approximately 40 hours later, and then finally shot dead with a rifle. He was then skinned and his head was removed. His tracking collar was missing from the carcass. It has been noted that the initial attempt to kill Cecil was with a crossbow which in some hunting circles, is viewed as requiring more skill and therefore superior to hunting with guns. This has led to accusations that Palmer was "showing off".

Palmer returned to the United States, then issued a statement that he relied on the expertise of his local professional guides to ensure a legal hunt and deeply regretted that his pursuit of an activity he loves and practices responsibly and legally resulted in the taking of this lion.


Killing animals for fun or for food isn't something we humans should be part of in the first place ... If only we understood the karma we accrue by acting unconsciously, unaware of the pain and suffering animals go through to be the "tasty" food on our plate.

Its time we make better choices for the future of this planet and all living beings we share this space with.

Melanin is a molecule which derives its name from the Greek word, Melanos, which denotes the color black. Melanin is the fundamental unit of the universe and can exist in four forms including Cosmic Melanin, Planetary Melanin, Plant Kingdom Melanin (chlorophyll) and Animal Kingdom melanin (black pigmentation).

Some of us might get confused between Melanin and Melatonin ... here are the differences ...

• Melanin is a pigment produced by tyrosine, whereas melatonin is a neurotransmitter produced by tryptophan.

• The main functions of melatonin are the modulation of the synthesis of melanin, maintaining the sleep wake cycle and biological rhythms in the body, whereas that of melanin are providing skin color, photo-protection, and involving in hearing.

• Melanin is synthesized in melanosomes, which are found in melanocytes, while melatonin is synthesized in the cells of the gastrointestinal tract, retina, and pineal gland.

• Melanin can be found in skin, eye, ear, hair, and central nervous system, whereas melatonin can be found in brain, liver, intestines, blood and muscles.


The following text is from the youtube channel, 211 Network who's video is featured below in this post ...

Time and conflict have conditioned us to fear what we do not understand. And our misunderstanding has been based on a lack of knowledge; of others, and of ourselves.

Getting to the core of truth about the human condition in an objective manner, one can shed light on facts that have been kept in the dark, and attain a higher understanding of truths Indecency and hatred have no place in a world of pure knowledge and understanding.

For at least a century, people have tried to preach equality for all, crusading based on the premise that we are all the same. Some vouched for fairness by insisting we are "created equal." It seems as if it were only those who wished to keep peoples of the world separate that would cite and declare our differences. And though they, at times, brought forth dishonest claims, they reign successful in keeping peoples apart to this day.

The truth is we are alike in the sense that we all have common ancestry. This is proven. We have a shared ancient heritage, even with our wide array of lineage. But we are different, a truth we must accept and discuss openly with one another. In the classroom, the household, governing bodies across the globe, and possibly the cosmos, et al.

Imagine a world without inhibitions concerning our differences. A world where, instead of denying these differences in fear of offending each other, we examine and celebrate these differences.

The following is an example of employing an objective approach toward one of the biggest indications of our differences -- skin colour; melanin being its primary determinant.

The topic of skin colour affects all of us. And even in today's world where we are coming together more than ever through social media, internet and overall the advent of technology, the colour of our skin remains a "touchy-untouched" subject because of our unwillingness to fully accept, examine and embrace our differences. That, plus the fact that melanin is a natural substance found in all of us, is the reason the example is used.

The following clip, an excerpt from a documentary called "Hidden Colors 2: The Triumph of Melanin", serves as one example of our potential to go beyond what history dictates about a characteristic of a people -- looking objectively and without bias at the physical, undeniable, provable traits posessed, with the characteristics serving as mere indication -- to in turn celebrate what makes humanity strong and determine where our weaknesses lie.


The film is not a reflection of the ideals of the uploader. One must admit that the documentary presents a black versus white dichotomy, a mindset that subtracts from the very idea behind the presentation of this clip to you, the viewer.

So that said, The.211Network asks that you heed the message within the message. That message being that humanity can abandon the "a priori" approach to judging people -- if we are even to judge. The message is that our differences, when explored, can open our eyes to the human condition; its brilliance and resilience, the make-up of our collective . And when the knowledge gained is taught and applied universally, the world and its inhabitants can be at least a little better for it.

Go beyond what the historians teach and what religions preach. Go beyond indoctrinated science and political etiquette. Go beyond the system employed. Go beyond, by regressing to true reason.

It is apparent that there is a vast amount of knowledge about ourselves and our potential that is not as accessible. You each have a short amount time to realize your full potential. And ignorance could be bliss, but you owe it to yourself to know what you are missing.

Tippi Degre, is truly a 'real wild child' having grown up among untamed animals in the African wilderness. Tippi was born in Namibia to French wildlife photographer parents, Alain Degré and Sylvie Robert. Tippi spent her childhood playing with wild animals including lion cubs, a mongoose, a snake, a cheetah, baby zebra, giraffes and crocodiles.

She also befriended the Bushmen and the Himba tribe people of the Kalahari, who taught her how to survive on roots and berries and to speak their language. Tippi later moved with her parents to Madagascar and then to France, where she became a celebrity. A book of her adventures, "Tippi of Africa" was published and translated in several languages. In Paris, Tippi attended a local state school for the first two years, but was then homeschooled because she was found to have little in common with the other children in Paris.

Here is a short trailer from an upcoming documentary film titled, "Tippi : Bridging the Gap to Africa" ...




Here are some pictures of Tippi while she was growing up in Africa along with other older wild animals who seem to be quite comfortable around her ... Some really powerful, thought provoking images which should make us more sensitive towards animals and help us reconnect with our Earth family.

'The Gods Must Be Crazy' is a 1980 film, written and directed by Jamie Uys. The film is the first in 'The Gods Must Be Crazy' series of films. Set in Botswana and South Africa, it tells the story of Xi, a Sho of the Kalahari Desert (played by Namibian San farmer Nǃxau) whose band has no knowledge of the world beyond. The film is followed by four sequels, the final three of which were made in Hong Kong.

The film is a collision of three separate stories—the journey of a Ju/'hoansi bushman to the end of the earth to get rid of a Coca-Cola bottle, the romance between a bumbling scientist and a schoolteacher, and a band of guerrillas on the run.


Xi and his band of San/Bushmen relatives are living well off the land in the Kalahari Desert. They are happy because the gods have provided plenty of everything, and no one in the tribe has unfulfilled wants. One day, a glass Coke bottle is thrown out of an aeroplane and falls to earth unbroken. Initially, this strange artifact seems to be another boon from the gods—-Xi's people find many uses for it. But unlike anything that they have had before, there is only one bottle to go around. This exposes the tribe to a hitherto unknown phenomenon, property, and they soon find themselves experiencing things they never had before: jealousy, envy, anger, hatred, even violence.

Since it has caused the band unhappiness on two occasions, Xi decides that the bottle is an evil thing and must be thrown off of the edge of the world. He sets out alone on his quest and encounters Western civilization for the first time. The film presents an interesting interpretation of civilization as viewed through Xi's eyes.

The Babongo of Gabon used to be known as Pygmies. They're still treated as second-class citizens by their neighbours. But their expertise and knowledge of the forests is unique and their use of Iboga, a powerful hallucinogenic which lies at the heart of Babongo culture, makes them famous throughout Gabon.

In this video, part of the BBC Series called Tribe presented by Bruce Parry who lives with the Babongo of Gabon and gets initiated into the ritualistic use of the sacred African root, Iboga, the holy sacrament of the Bwiti religion.

The Babongo follow Bwiti, an animistic religion based on a belief in spirits which started in the forests thousands of years ago. More recently Bwiti, influenced in curious ways by Christianity, has become one of Gabon's official religions - there are Bwiti churches, ceremonies and initiations in the capital, Libreville, and the first President was an initiate.

In the city, the Bwiti drug Iboga is taken almost as Catholics take the host at Mass, and festivals follow the Christian calendar. But out in the forest, the original form of the religion is still practiced, in all its potency.

The Babongo cultivate the drug Iboga for their ceremonies, and worship it as the source of spiritual knowledge. Some Bwiti scholars believe it is the Tree of Knowledge from the Garden of Eden. It comes from the bitter root of the Iboga tree, and is a powerful psycho-active drug - something like LSD, mescaline or amphetamines. Taking Iboga brings a sense of anxiety, extreme apprehension and visual hallucinations - effects which can be made stronger by darkness, ambience and suggestion. It makes you violently sick, can lead to a state of lethargy lasting four to five days and, in extreme doses, it can kill. When Bwiti shamans eat Iboga, they are granted the power to see the future, heal the sick and speak with the dead. The Babongo use it as a stimulant before hunting and during initiation ceremonies. They believe that Iboga frees your soul to leave your body and go on a great journey, to speak with the spirits of animals and plants. The three-day initiation ceremony is used for spiritual or personal development, and to become a man. First the initiate eats the sliced root of the Iboga tree over a period of hours, monitored by his Bwiti father, and the visions begin. The Iboga allows him to see into his true self and vividly revisit the consequences of his past actions. After 24 hours of this, the initiate is taken to the river by the men. They lift him through a construction of twigs shaped like a vulva suspended over the water, then wash him with water soaked with leaves. The men pull a sapling of the sacred matombi tree from the forest, and plant it outside the Bwiti temple - it represents the initiate as a child. Throughout the day the elders feed him small pieces of Iboga, and the whole village perform, dancing in vivid costumes, in a way designed to bring on further hallucinations. In the last phase, the initiate is called upon to see the Bwiti visions. Fire dancers sprint the length of the village to entice the Macoi spirits from the darkness of the forest. The initiate must tell the elders what he has seen; this is sacred knowledge, known only to them, and through it he becomes a man. The villagers meanwhile plant a forest around the matombi tree, to represent the problems to be faced in adult life. Together, the men break up the trees branch by branch to symbolise the removal of all his problems. As well as influencing religious belief across Gabon, Iboga is also of increasing interest to Western medicine. One of its active ingredients, ibogain, has been used to treat heroin addicts, alcoholics and people who have been traumatised in childhood. Advocates say its particular powerful effects allow those who take it to move on from their previous lives and habits. Source : BBC Related Articles :

Rastamia is an hour long documentary introducing the cultural, historical and spiritual aspects of Rastafarianism as explained by a group of followers in the City of Miami. The film delivers a message of hope and reconciliation by systematically explaining away the myths behind Rastafarianism as viewed by outsiders, resulting in a clearer understanding of this hybrid culture.


Rastafari are monotheists, worshipping a singular God whom they call Jah. Rastas see Jah as being in the form of the Holy Trinity, that is, God being the God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Rastas say that Jah, in the form of the Holy Spirit (incarnate), lives within the human, and for this reason they often refer to themselves as "I and I". Furthermore, "I and I" is used instead of "We", and is used in this way to emphasise the equality between all people, in the recognition that the Holy Spirit within us all makes us essentially one and the same.

For Rastas, smoking cannabis, usually known as "herb", "weed", "sinsemilla" (spanish for "without seeds") or "ganja" (from the Sanskrit word, "Ganjika", created by the Hindus of India), is a spiritual act, often accompanied by Bible study; they consider it a sacrament that cleans the body and mind, heals the soul, exalts the consciousness, facilitates peacefulness, brings pleasure, and brings them closer to Jah. The burning of the herb is often said to be essential "for it will sting in the hearts of those that promote and perform evil and wrongs." By the 8th century, cannabis had been introduced by Arab traders to Central and Southern Africa, where it is known as "dagga" and many Rastas say it is a part of their African culture that they are reclaiming. It is sometimes also referred to as "the healing of the nation", a phraseology adapted from Revelation 22:2.

The migration of many thousands of Hindus from India to the Caribbean in the 20th century may have brought this culture to Jamaica. Many academics point to Indo-Caribbean origins for the ganjah sacrament resulting from the importation of Indian migrant workers in a post-abolition Jamaican landscape. "Large scale use of ganjah in Jamaica... dated from the importation of indentured Indians..."(Campbell 110). Dreadlocked mystics, often ascetic, known as sadhus, have smoked cannabis in India for centuries.

According to many Rastas, the illegality of cannabis in many nations is evidence that persecution of Rastafari is a reality. They are not surprised that it is illegal, seeing it as a powerful substance that opens people's minds to the truth — something the Babylon system, they reason, clearly does not want. They contrast their herb to alcohol and other drugs, which they feel destroy the mind.

Rastafari see cannabis as a sacramental and deeply beneficial plant that is the Tree of Life mentioned in the Bible. Bob Marley, amongst many others, said, "the herb ganja is the healing of the nations." The use of cannabis, and particularly of large pipes called chalices, is an integral part of what Rastafari call "reasoning sessions" where members join together to discuss life according to the Rasta perspective. They see cannabis as having the capacity to allow the user to penetrate the truth of how things are much more clearly, as if the wool had been pulled from one's eyes. Thus the Rastafari come together to smoke cannabis in order to discuss the truth with each other, reasoning it all out little by little through many sessions. They see the use of this plant as bringing them closer to nature.
