			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!-- 		@page { margin: 2cm } 		P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } --></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">You all know about the crasher squirrel, which barged in the family photo of <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/canada/edmonton/story/2009/08/13/squirrel-banff-photo-brandts-geographic.html">Melissa Brandts in Alberta</a> :</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1154" title="crasher_animal_squirrel" src="http://humanityy.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/crasher_animal_squirrel.jpg" alt="crasher_animal_squirrel" width="575" height="379" /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">This amazing squirrel has been seen in numerous pictures throughout history, from Jesus&#8217; Last Supper to the coronation of <span id="more-1153"></span>Queen Elizabeth II :</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1155" title="jesus-crashed-25840-1250214387-56" src="http://humanityy.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/jesus-crashed-25840-1250214387-56.jpg" alt="jesus-crashed-25840-1250214387-56" width="425" height="233" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1156" title="squirrel-crashes-crowned-queen-picture" src="http://humanityy.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/squirrel-crashes-crowned-queen-picture.jpg" alt="squirrel-crashes-crowned-queen-picture" width="425" height="417" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1157" title="Banff-lunar-squirrel-picture" src="http://humanityy.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Banff-lunar-squirrel-picture.jpg" alt="Banff-lunar-squirrel-picture" width="425" height="320" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1159" title="squirrel_pope" src="http://humanityy.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/squirrel_pope.jpg" alt="squirrel_pope" width="425" height="344" /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">As you can  see, he&#8217;s been on the moon and he was even caught playing a trick to the Pope.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">But do you even know why this playful squirrel does all that for ? Because <strong>his species is endangered</strong>, and it wants to spread the word.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Indeed, the Ongoye Red Squirrel (<em>Paraxerus palliatus ornatus)</em> and the Tonga Red Bush Squirrel (<em>Paraxerus palliatus tongensis)</em> are <a href="http://www.biodiversityhotspots.org/xp/hotspots/maputaland/Pages/biodiversity.aspx"><strong>e</strong><strong>ndangered mammals</strong></a>. They are considered as&#8221;vulnerable&#8221;,  which means &#8220;facing <em>a high risk</em> of extinction in the wild&#8221;.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">But the more surprising is to come. The growing popularity of the crasher squirrel has inspired many others (all pictures below are original and have not been photoshopped) :</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1160" title="crasher_seal" src="http://humanityy.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/crasher_seal.jpg" alt="crasher_seal" width="427" height="418" /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">The crasher seal :   &#8220;Enough with pengouins. I want to pass on a message : stop slaughtering my seal fellows for their fur !&#8221;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1167" title="crasher-cat" src="http://humanityy.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/crasher-cat.jpg" alt="crasher-cat" width="480" height="629" /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">The crasher cat : &#8220;Hey, I want to tell you that my feline bros the <a href="http://www.exoticcatz.com/species.html">Marbled, Black-footed, Black-Headed, Irimote and Asian Leopard Cat</a> are endangered species&#8221;.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">So, have these off-the-wall animals convinced you ? <img src='http://humanityy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">If so, you can right now sign <a href="http://www.petitiononline.com/C2010/petition-sign.html">the petition to protect endangered species</a>. And if you think that signing a petition for each species is more efficient, as I do, browse the following :</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/treeoctopus">for the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus</a></li>
<li> <a href="http://www.buffalofieldcampaign.org/legal/esapetition.html">for the Buffalo Field </a></li>
<li><a href="http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2167/t/8257/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=1725">for polar bears</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.petitiononline.com/pdog123/petition.html">for the black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus)</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.petitiononline.com/Dolphend/petition.html">to stop the dolphin massacre in Denmark</a></li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">You can even <span>sign a petition <a href="http://www.petitiononline.com/HELPYETI/petition.html">to save the Yeti at Disney&#8217;s Animal Kingdom Park</a> !!  Ah ah <img src='http://humanityy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>
<p><span><br />
</span></p>
<p><span>Are there another species you want to be protected ? Just add a comment to tell us, with the link to the petition !</span></p>
<p><span><br />
</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--:en--><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-181" title="bhopal" src="http://humanityy.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/bhopal.JPG" alt="bhopal" width="500" height="334" /> We are soon to celebrate a grievous anniversary. In Bhopal, on the 3 of december 1984,that is to say almost 25 years ago, occured <strong>the most important industrial catastrophe</strong> the world went through.  A  Union Carbide (former name of Dow) factory  spread 40 tons of <span id="more-177"></span>methyl isocyanate (CH3-N=C=O) in the city atmosphere, reaping a huge amount of human lives : from 16.000 to 30.000 people, including 8.000 on the first night.  It is acknowledged that Union Carbide has neglected basic security measures to save money, whereas they perfectly knew the chemicals yielded in there were highly toxic.  They never apologized nor tried to sort the problem out. And the Indian state hasn&#8217;t either.</p>
<p>In 1999, Union Carbide became a subsidiary company of Dow. But nothing changed for  the victims. The toxic products have remained in the air or in the ground, and keep killing dozens of people every month.  Out of India, that painful event is <strong>deep-buried</strong> in the memories, under the ashes of time. And  under Dow&#8217;s glowing communication campaigns :</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/i3byt7xMSCA&amp;hl=fr&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/i3byt7xMSCA&amp;hl=fr&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Really, when I watch this, <strong>that nauseates me</strong>. How dare them ?! They must pay. They must not get off lightly. No way ! Fortunately, some brilliant people have found a way to buzz it around. The « Yes Men » set up an awesome prank : they pretended they were Dow&#8217;s spokesmen&#8230; And said Dow apologized for its past errors, accepted full responsibility for the Bhopal catastrophe and would indemnify the victims back. And <strong>the BBC relayed these fake news</strong> !</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/R4WcZ65qxOo&amp;hl=fr&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/R4WcZ65qxOo&amp;hl=fr&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Dow&#8217;s shares plunged down and lost 3%. <img src='http://humanityy.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />   A smart way to remind them of their ethical duties.</p>
