Lest We Forget.......

 Lest we forget our water kin, who dwell within the ocean, rivers and seas of our planet.
Living in a realm unfit for human habitation, yet still humanity feels the need to take control over this domain, disturbing the natural balance.
 Crayfish/Lobsters and prawns are harvested by the millions, offered to the food retailers as delicacies, yet, if you take to time to view these bizarre creatures in their natural environment, they have a magnificent  kooky beauty.
 As with most animal life farmed for food, the majority of the water dwellers are gentle and harmless folk.
 Some are not only gathered for food, but, are taken from their homes to be placed into theme parks, imprisoned for life to amuse the human race, taught to perform for the reward of a fish.
 Freedom is not just reserved for the homo sapiens, freedom was granted to all beings that occupy this planet, all of us given a purpose, a role to play in the delicate balance of our Earth.
 It is ignorance that plays a major role in the cruelty that spreads across the globe, many think that sea creatures have no feelings, that they feel no pain. 
All one needs to do is look into their eyes, take a moment to gaze into their soul, for once the connection is made, you understand their sovereignty.
 Many of these beautiful creatures suffer terrible deaths getting caught in the massive nets that the fishermen drag through the oceans.
Many lives lost for no reason at all, some are thrown back into the sea as they are not required, yet many still die as they have been hurt during the netting procedure. 
 Little or large, the right to reside in peace is the birthright of all.

 Even those of the bigger and more confronting kind do not deserve to die just because of what they are, or worse, farmed for their skin, so the rich and famous can wear expensive shoes at their expense.

 The underwater kingdom is a mystical magical place, a place of gracefulness and silence, a community that if left alone, exists in instinctive balance.......

Couldn't agree more Gemel.
Humans are making a terrible mess of this beautiful planet and its inhabitants.
