Today, I was going through the news, and I saw the headline on trapped narwhals. The headline is noted for people to reference. DFO seeks satellite imagery to trace tracks of trapped narwhals Last Updated: Friday, November 28, 2008 | 7:57 PM CT
I love whales and dolphins as do many people. It saddened me to read that the article that showed that 500 narwhals are trapped in water that is confining them from the greater ocean. To alleviate the situation, MAN is going in and killing some of the whales to allow the others to have more food and oxygen in the small space. I wondered why there was not a better solution to the problem. MAN's response made me think of Chief Seattle's words,
"Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself!"
To see Chief Seattle's speech see the blog - Words from a Savage?
The response to the whale's plight makes me think that MAN will respond that way to humans in distress. If there is a shortage of food and water, some will be killed so there will be plenty for others.
I trust that someone will come up with a better way to deal with situations where shortages seem evident.
One of the messages that WHALE brings is...
"Some problems are too big to handle alone. Get some help. Don't allow pride to keep you from sharing your worries with another. They will deem it an honour that you asked them to help and will enlighten you." --- from Animal Totems, The Power and Prophecy of Your Animal Guides by Trish MacGregor and Millie Gemondo
It seems that the narwhal's situation is somewhat ironic and a way that the whale is mirroring man's actions back to him.
