18 Incredible Stories of Pets Returning Home

Prince

There’s nothing more horrible than discovering your dog or cat is missing, and once a pet is lost, it’s hard to know whether they’ll ever return home. While pet owners can post flyers and go searching for them, it’s impossible to know where your fur babies have run off to.

Most of us have seen films about incredible journeys that beloved pets take, overcoming all odds to return to their homes and their families. Miraculously, it’s happened in real life, too. Many real pets have undertaken amazing journeys to find their owners, some of them traveling for years to get home.

Neo-nicotinoids

Are you aware of the Neo-nicotinoid pesticides/insecticides used in Australia that are killing bees, products such as Confidor have active ingredients that stay active for a long time. It seems that retail nurseries use these regularly. I checked with the National Botanical Gardens in Canberra and they don’t use these, in fact use hardly any chemicals.

I suspect that most plants sold in retail outlets especially any of the large ones would sell plants with this poison.

It could be good to alert people on your email list so that we are not inadvertently buying plants for our gardens that are harming bees.

I’m canvassing my local retailers to find out what they use and if they are aware of the devastating effect of these products.

This is a list of the names of chemicals in this category:

Acetamiprid
Clothianidin
Dinotefuran
Imidacloprid
Nitenpyram
Thiocloprid
Thiamethoxam

Here are some websites I referred to:

A nation can survive its fools…

Although these words are now widely attributed to Cicero, in fact they originated in the 20th century, with novelist Taylor Caldwell’s 1965 book A Pillar of Iron. Even though that work often drew directly from the recorded speeches and letters of Cicero for its dialogue, it was nonetheless a work of fiction, and the warning from Cicero about “treason from within” was an invention of Caldwell’s and not a reproduction of Cicero’s own words. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/cicero-treason-quote/

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not as a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murder is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”
