Poaching ,for those who lack empathy and character

Why do people choose to poach wild animals?The act of poaching is very disturbing and it puzzles to think that a person enjoys taking away the life of an animal for material gain.Some do it so that they have a trophy to show off, well in my opinion, a live animal out in the wild is the best trophy there is.

Empathy is what these poachers lack.As the human race, we were entrusted as the custodians of this earth, to take care of the fauna and flora, sad to say man has injured both of these and even himself to say the least.It's interesting to note that scientists are working hard and are optimistic that life exists on other planets.Even if life does exist ,you know what that means?Go over there and dominate until injury comes to these life forms.

One may argue that this is human nature.This cannot be so because not all humans are inclined to this destructive tendencies.This can be seen in the worldwide conservation efforts aimed at saving what we have left.

Recent activities indicate that poaching is on the rise and the poachers are getting more and more aggressive.The governments aren't doing enough to help the issue, this would require reaching out to the hearts of the people and give them some empathy.

(KFC)Kentucky Fried Chicken opens in Nairobi

k
One of the world's most popular food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken just opened shop this month in Nairobi.

Popular in the US and in many places around the world for its fried chicken, KFC has now ventured into kenya and is set to expand even further.



So how will the local kenyans take it.Judging from the facebook fan page, many bleeding with excitement and are ready to queue in order to have some of that chicken."But i thought ken-chic was enough?" one would ask.Well, local fast food restaurants have not reached the standards of KFC and the likes of MacDonalds,BurgerKing and Starbucks.For one they are not consistent as their counterparts in US.

It is going to be rather interesting considering what many are predicting to be the outcome of this venture.High levels of obesity is one of them.This has been seen in the United States where many fast food empires exist, kids becoming obese due to overeating of food which has little nutritional value.Never the less,people are responsible for their own eating habits.What about our kids who need to learn to appreciate good food.Offered a meal many would choose to go to kfc setting aside their local healthy diet.

Ironically, there is an ongoing famine in kenya right now.It would be rather striking to witness obesity and famine in the same land.

Anyway we welcome KFC to Kenya and it's kind of cool to speak of kfc in Nairobi.

Top Online Travel Resources

Many travelers find themselves in need of helpful information about a destination they are about to visit. This may be information regarding money issued, transportation, security, and general traveler experience. Usually, local companies dealing in travel will try to give the traveler good reports about a location in order to get the traveler to make a visit.

Ultimately the best advice a traveler can get is from a fellow traveler who has visited the same destination. An honest opinion from a person who has experience travelling can be enough to assure anybody to go ahead with a trip.

Give A Helping Hand

If you are visiting an area , it is always good to help the local people as a show of gratitude.
Some do this by giving gifts to the local residents.

A good way to express your gratitude is to visit an orphanage and spend some time with the kids and perhaps sponsor one of them.
