Kryon Q&A

Question: Dear Kryon: I live in Spain. I am sorry if I will ask you a question you might have already answered, but the translations of your books are very slow and I might not have gathered all information you have already given. I am quite concerned about abandoned animals. It seems that many people buy animals for their children and as soon as they grow, they set them out somewhere. Recently I had the occasion to see a small kitten in the middle of the street. I did not immediately react, since I could have stopped and taken it, without getting out of the car. So, I went on and at the first occasion I could turn, I went back to see if I could take the kitten, but it was to late, somebody had already killed it. This happened some month ago, but I still feel very sorry for that kitten. I just would like to know, what kind of entity are these animals and how does this fit in our world. Are these entities which choose this kind of life, like we do choose our kind of Human life? I see so many abandoned animals and every time I see one, my heart aches... I would like to know more about them.

Answer: Dear one, indeed the answer has been given, but let us give it again so you all understand. Animals are here on earth for three (3) reasons.

(1) The balance of biological life. . . the circle of energy that is needed for you to exist in what you call "nature."

(2) To be harvested. Yes, it's true. Many exist for your sustenance, and this is appropriate. It is a harmony between Human and animal, and always has. Remember the buffalo that willingly came into the indigenous tribes to be sacrificed when called? These are stories that you should examine again. The inappropriateness of today's culture is how these precious creatures are treated. Did you know that if there was an honoring ceremony at their death, they would nourish you better? Did you know that there is ceremony that could benefit all of humanity in this way. Perhaps it's time you saw it.

(3) To be loved and to love. For many cultures, animals serve as surrogate children, loved and taken care of. It gives Humans a chance to show compassion when they need it, and to have unconditional love when they need it. This is extremely important to many, and provides balance and centering for many.

Do animals know all this? At a basic level, they do. Not in the way you "know," but in a cellular awareness they understand that they are here in service to planet earth. If you honor them in all three instances, then balance will be the result. Your feelings about their treatment is important. Temper your reactions with the spiritual logic of their appropriateness and their service to humanity. Honor them in all three cases.

Tiger smuggler suspect busted following BKSDA, WWF joint investigation

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Sat, 03/12/2011

A suspected tiger smuggler has been arrested in West Sumatra following a three-day investigation by the Natural Resource Conservation Agency in Riau and West Sumatra Province (BKSDA), WWF Indonesia reported Saturday.

The investigation also resulted in the seizure of the skin of an adult male tiger believed to have been poisoned inside or near a wildlife reserve in Sumatra’s Riau Province, it added.

After receiving a report on Feb. 28 that a poacher had poisoned a tiger near Rimbang Baling Wildlife Reserve in Kampar District, BKSDA Riau and WWF Riau’s Tiger Protection Unit staked out the area in Kampar District for two days.

“Our goal was not only to help government arresting the local poacher, but to see if we could track the tiger carcass to someone higher up in the smuggling network,” said Chairul Saleh, Wildlife Conservation Specialist with WWF Indonesia in a press statement on Saturday.

“We need to break the smuggling networks that are decimating our Sumatran tiger population, so we have to go as high up the ladder as possible,” Chairul said.

BKSDA Riau tracked a courier suspected of picking up a piece of Sumatran tiger skin and bones from the poached tiger to Balung, a border area located between Riau and West Sumatra provinces. The courier was then seen handing over the tiger skin to the suspect, who travelled to Payakumbuh, West Sumatra. BKSDA West Sumatra was then called to join the operation.

After detecting the smell of chemicals often used to preserve tiger skins at the suspect’s house, a WWF Tiger Patrol Unit member was able to locate the skin. However, the tiger’s bones, which are highly valued on the black market for their supposed medicinal value, were not recovered. Other wildlife was also discovered in the house, including a python and body parts of a Serrow (a local species of mountain goat) and muntjac, or barking deer, according to BKSDA.

Kurnia Rauf, Head of BKSDA Riau said, “We believe the suspect has a extensive international wildlife trade network in Sumatra; therefore we expect law enforcement in this case can be done as soon as possible.

We’re ready to help provide necessary data to help the judicial process of this case, hoping that the maximum sentence can be enforced to create a deterrent effect to other poachers.”

Suhandri, leader of WWF-Indonesia’s Program in Riau said, “WWF strongly urges law enforcement agencies in West Sumatra to take this case seriously and to seek the maximum penalty to deter this poacher and others. Sumatran tigers are critically endangered and poaching is one of the top threats to their survival.”

The unnamed suspect was detained at the Payakumbuh Police Station in West Sumatra. Police also seized a minivan allegedly used to transport the tiger skin as evidence.

The arrest comes as Indonesia and the 12 other nations that still have wild tigers embark on building the Global Tiger Recovery Programme, an initiative launched at the International Tiger Conservation Forum in Russia last November that seeks to double the number of tigers within

the next 12 years. A follow-up meeting, the International Conference on Tiger Conservation, will be held from March 28–30 in New Delhi, India.

Kurnia said that the Forestry Ministry was also strengthening its collaboration with partners on the protection of Sumatran tiger population in its natural habitat to increase population of Sumatran tiger by 3 percent per year as mandated in the National Strategic Plan of Sumatran Tiger Conservation 2007-2017.

The Sumatran tiger population is estimated at 400 individuals, with as few as 3,200 tigers remaining in the wild across Asia and the Russian Far East.
