Human impact of animal-borne disease more severe with global warming. According to scientists at the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), ecological imbalance triggered by global warming is accelerating the spread of zoonotic diseases.
EPA environmental health scientist Dr. Montira Pongsiri stated, “Dramatic changes to the environment are triggering major alterations to human disease patterns ...”
The recent eruption of swine flu that came from a mixing of animal-borne viruses is just one of the emerging diseases that concerns EPA scientists, who also cited malaria, West Nile disease and others that are on the rise due to such factors as warming climate and changes in agricultural practices.
Over 300 new diseases have been identified since 1940, with 60% that have crossed from animals to humans. Scientists at the US Environmental Protection Agency, we appreciate your efforts to inform the public about the spread of zoonotic diseases that pose a threat to all of us. Let us all choose to live more lightly and thus protect our planetary home, especially by selecting the safe and immune-boosting plant-based foods.
Supreme Master Ching Hai has many times mentioned the need for humans to halt the consumption of animals to avoid related illnesses, as in an August 2009 videoconference in Thailand.
Supreme Master Ching Hai: The swine flu is by far not the only scary disease - that also comes from or is spread by humans’ cruel treatment of animals. Avian flu, tuberculosis, Listeria, Crohn’s disease, mad cow disease, campylobacter, Staphylococcus aureus, etc., etc. And now, we have its more dangerous form, called MRSA, namely
methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus; it’s a “superbug” – meaning there is no antibiotic to cure it, no antibiotic for this superbug.
These diseases arose because we over-breed animals and create the conditions for the diseases to form and spread. Other diseases came from hunting.
HIV, the killer of 25 million people since 1981, is from humans’ consumption of primates. So, all these diseases, not just the swine flu, could be prevented if only humans turn away from such unhealthy, cruel, violent habits – the habits of raising, hunting, and eating animal flesh. It has be stopped, the consuming of animal flesh.

The state’s largest power utility, Florida Power and Light, has installed a special temporary heating system as it undergoes modernization to protect manatees residing in the region’s coastal waters.
Despite the recent cold snap, temperatures for the endangered sea mammals has thus remained temperate, with some 400 manatees gathering around the outlet on Florida's Intracoastal Waterway.
Company spokesperson Sharon Bennett said, “The water that discharges into the area where the manatees gather comes out at 92 degrees Fahrenheit... It's very comfortable for them and they enjoy it." The company has been working closely for several years with environmental organizations to offer the manatees protection
in waters throughout the state.
Our accolades Florida Power and Light for your kind efforts in providing a haven for our marine friends during the colder months. Blessed be the manatees to flourish in the protected and safe waters of Florida, USA.
