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.

Indonesia lagging behind in agribusiness development

Antara News, Friday, March 12, 2010 14:12 WIB

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Indonesia is lagging far behind other Asian countries in agribusiness development, Vice President Boediono said here Friday.

"Compared with other Asian countries such as Thailand, our agribusiness sector is still st a low level of development," Boediono said in remarks to officially open "Agrinex International Expo 2010" here on Friday.

The vice president said that compared with other countries, the agribusiness sector in Indonesia had yet to integrate with other sectors to support national development.

"In other countries, the agribusiness sector has become one with the industrial and services sectors; agriculture, fisheries, and animal husbandry sectors have become one with the industrial and services sectors while in our country there is no inter-linkage among these sectors," the vice president said.

But he added Indonesia had great agribusiness potentials and the capability to catch up with the other countries.

"Our agribusiness potentials are extraordinarily big, even the biggest in Southeast Asia and Asia. We are the world`s largest producer of palm oil, rubber, and rice. We are also the largest producer of cacao, coffee, tea, volatile oils, and fish. And all of these are the basis for our agribusiness development to catch up with other countries," Boediono said.

The vice president said Indonesia was left behind in agribusiness development because business players prioritized short-term profits by selling agricultural goods as raw materials.

"In fact we still have a lot of added value from the agribusiness products and this means we have great potentials to catch up with other countries," Boediono said.

He said the government had improved its policies to support the agribusiness sector through infrastructure and human resources development.

After opening the exhibition, the vice president , accompanied by Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Fadel Muhammad, visited a number of stands displaying agribusiness products.
