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.

662 kg of confiscated illegal ivory destroyed in China

The Chinese government on Friday destroyed 662 kg of confiscated ivory, the second such demonstration of its stance against wildlife crime.

The illegal ivory, which was seized over the past year, was dumped into crushers in Beijing and ground down by the State Forestry Administration (SFA) and the General Administration of Customs (GAC).

In January last year, 6.1 tonnes of confiscated ivory were destroyed in the southern city of Dongguan.

The second public ivory destruction in China demonstrates the country's determination to end the illegal trade, protect wildlife and raise public awareness, said Zhao Shucong, head of the SFA.

"We will strictly control ivory processing and trade until the commercial processing and sale of ivory and its products are eventually halted," Zhao said.

The Chinese government will ban transport of illegal wildlife products by any means and pay special attention to the illegal ivory trade on the internet, he said.

Yu Guangzhou, chief of the GAC, said that while the smuggling of endangered species, including ivory, into China has been declining, customs will continue to fight illegal trade of wildlife products.

In February, the country announced a one-year ban on the import of ivory carvings to protect wild elephants. The SFA has said the temporary ban would allow authorities to evaluate its effect before taking further steps.

Ivory smuggling remains rampant globally. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) program monitoring the illegal killing of elephants has said that poaching rates still exceed natural elephant population growth rates, meaning a continued decline in elephant numbers and the reality that the animal faces extinction should such activities continue.

Ivory is legal in China if it comes from two sources; stock imported before the country joined CITES in 1981 and the 62 tonnes of raw ivory which China bought from four African countries in 2008, as permitted by CITES.

Ivory must be processed at designated places, sold in approved shops and tracked on an individual item basis. Each legal ivory product can be tracked through a unique photo ID and is recorded in a database.

Anyone involved in the illegal ivory trade is liable to punishment ranging from six months imprisonment to a life sentence.
