Cancers in wildlife indicate dangerous environmental hazards. Canadian and US scientists have found that cancers in wild animals, usually rare, are now occurring more frequently and could be caused or exacerbated by environmental pollutants.
Wildlife such as beluga whales, sea lions and flounder fish have been found to be victims of deadly cancers caused by industrial contaminants. These herald a threat to humans as well, since both wildlife and people are often exposed to the same chemicals.
Stating that cancer may be just one of many diseases that have yet to be diagnosed in animals, Dr. Denise McAloose of the Wildlife Conservation Society in New York, USA said that scientists need to continue looking for the connections between pollutants and disease.
We thank Dr. McAloose and all involved scientists for your care in discerning these ways that our actions are harming wildlife and the environment. May we all realize the noble reward of truly caring for our planet and her inhabitants.
In a July 2008 videoconference, Supreme Master Ching Hai spoke of Earth’s capacity to recover and support life if we do our part in reducing harms such as meat consumption.
Supreme Master Ching Hai: We pollute too much and we create too much of murderous karma. Therefore, the Earth is not even allowed to repair herself because of the bad karma of the inhabitants.
As soon as we erase this bad retribution from the killing effect, then the Earth will turn around, will be allowed to repair, reproduce, and sustain life again.
If we just stop meat eating, stop killing animals for food, then that 80% gas pollution will disappear. And we will live in peace, health, happiness, and long life again.

South Asian countries are meeting in the Nepalese capital for the first time ever this week to discuss how to best mitigate climate change and potential disasters facing the Himalayan region.
The now rapidly melting glaciers from this world’s highest mountain range provide drinking and irrigation water for nearly 2 billion people – over a quarter of the global population.
The Kathmandu meeting is also intended to lead up to the international Copenhagen conference in December , with a presentation that will be made by its representatives from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Conference participants, our gratefulness for your commitment to the urgent matters of your region. We send heartfelt best wishes for a fruitful outcome at the Copenhagen summit in finding solutions that protect and cool our planet.
