Ameeriklanna Gabriella Scampone seisab loomade õiguste heaolu eest nagu Kerberos põrguväravate eest. Ja kuna ta on naturaalselt kaunis naine, siis võib tema missioon isegi ehk edukas olla.

Gabriella Scampone, kellel on ka hüüdnimi «Gator Girl» kirjutab oma veebilehel, et tema missiooniks on inimesi loomade osas harida. 

«2017. aasta aprillis kolisin ma New Yorgis Lõuna-Floridasse. Praegu olen ma vabatahtlik GatorBoys alligaatorite päästekeskuses, kus ma organiseerin harivaid alligaatorite «maadlus» showsid. Ma olen ka litsenseeritud alligaatoripüüdja ning püüan lõksu neid nuhtluseks olevaid alligaatoreid, kes vastasel juhul tapetaks. Need kaunid loomad on äärmiselt valesti mõistetud, nagu paljud teised kiskjad. Nendega käsikäes töötades suudan ma inimeste tähelepanu püüda, neid harida ja mõne meeltki muuta!»

Aga Gabby ei tegele vaid alligaatoritega. Tema tähelepanu on püüdnud kõik loomad ja nende heaolu. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Today is world wildlife day- a day to celebrate and cherish the earth’s wild fauna and flora. Our planet has so much beauty and so many amazing creatures to offer, but many of us take that for granted. We are currently in the midsts of our sixth mass extinction of plants and animals, and unlike other mass extinctions that were caused by asteroids, natural climate shifts, or volcanic eruptions, this extinction is almost entirely caused by humans. Because of human activities, such as global warming, and introduction of invasive species, scientists estimate that we are losing species at 1,000-10,000 times the “natural” rate, with literally dozens of plant and animal species going extinct each day. Even if the species isn’t yet extinct, there are hundreds of “living dead” species, which means there are so few of them, they are committed to extinction, regardless if habitat is restored. The diversity of our plants and animals ensures ecosystem resilience, giving ecological communities the opportunity to withstand stress. Any type of habitat loss can be irreversibly devastating. And just think about all the plant and animal species that we will never know about or discover, because they are now extinct. With over 16,000 endangered species threatened with extinction, we cannot continue to keep the same habits. We must all work together to make a change. So what can you do to help? If everybody made simple changes, as simple as turning the water off while brushing their teeth, turning the lights off when not being used, using less one-time use plastics, such as water bottles, straws, plastic bags, etc. it could literally start to change the world. Invest in a few bamboo straws, and cutlery. Consider going vegetarian, or at least cut down on beef and pork. Keep your cats indoors! Get involved with beach cleanups! Carpool with friends, or ride a bike instead of driving alone. Create a compost pile, and help enrich soil by recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem. Recycle! Talk about it, get involved with your community and educate others! I urge everybody to do some research on their own, look up the facts, it is eye opening! (CONTINUED BELOW)

A few weeks ago I got to visit Three Jay’s Tortoise Sanctuary, and spend some time with these gorgeous, prehistoric animals. The Galápagos tortoise! The Galápagos tortoise is an endangered species, threatened by invasive species, like rats and goats! (Goats compete with them for food, and rats prey upon their eggs and hatchlings!) Three Jay’s Tortoise Sanctuary is an FWC and USDA licensed and insured captive breeding facility that is recognized for it’s contributions in helping conserve this critically endangered species. The sanctuary houses both hybridized and sub species of Galápagos tortoise. Usually when it comes to conservation, hybridization is frowned upon, however, as @ven0mous explained to me, DNA hybridization with species such as these tortoises, can actually bring back extinct subspecies over years of selective captive breeding! Thank you so much @jason3jsabels for allowing me to visit! And I highly suggest everybody checks out @ven0mous as she writes articles for Reptiles Magazine, and this is where I got a lot of my information!

Heida pilk Gabby tegevustele peale. Äkki saad ka inspiratsiooni ja lähed talle Lõuna-Floridasse appi.
