December 9. “There is still hope for this world. I read a bit of news this morning which made me feel good for a change:

American actress Katherine Heigl showed what it takes to be a celebrity with a heart. She saved the lives of 25 Chihuahuas who were about to be euthanized. The dogs are up for adoption.”

“That’s great news.”

“Let me see you name some animals that are becoming extinct because of global warming.”

“The polar bear for one. Tell me who else.”

“The Irrawaddy dolphin, the thrush, flamingoes and a species of musk ox which live in the Arctic Tundra.”

“Sad how this planet is crumbling bit by bit. Any saviours?”
