Changing
seas affect jumbo squid. Human induced global warming is now known to
cause ocean waters to become more acidic due to the absorption of
excessive
carbon dioxide. An international
team of researchers are forecasting a corresponding decline in the
population of jumbo squid as the organ systems in these marine animals
are especially vulnerable to shifts of temperature, acidification and
lack of oxygen. Our gratitude international researchers for informing us
of this alarming trend. May we heed the call to be more considerate
citizens in supporting the delicate balance of life on our globe.
Supreme
Master Ching Hai had stated to our Association members during an
International Seminar in August 2008 the following about the importance
of a balanced ecosystem for marine beings dead zones: International
Seminar August 2008
Supreme Master Ching Hai: So
many whales and dolphins, they wash up ashore and die. There are so
many dead zones in the ocean. It’s suffocating them, so they have to
swim out of the water where it’s full of the poisonous gas that has been
released! They cannot bear it, they cannot breathe. So they have to get
out of it. For them, life is in the water, but if water is full of
poison, of course they come out. But when they come out, they die, too.
Because
they have no water. They stay in the ocean, they die; they came out,
they die. There is no choice for them. This is the worst of all cruelty,
that the people don’t take care of the environment. And let all beings
keep dying like this. Just to be vegetarian, how difficult can it be?
Even the dolphins have to swim out of the ocean; because they think like
that they can survive, even risking their lives. So why not we can just
can change to vegetarian diet?
