I believe that any kind of “day” that has been made up by us to raise awareness or help create equality really is a lot of bullsh*t. I believe it actually separates us further, rather than bring us together. We should be concentrating on us all, the human race as a whole, and not separate…
I had the pleasure of meeting the friendly feral street cats that live all over Jerusalem whilst on my trip there in April of this year. Now you can enjoy my new 2017 calendar which has 13 beautiful images of these cats, and makes a great Christmas present for both cat lovers and animal photography aficionados….
No more Coronita in Spain! The trademark for the name “Corona” that Torres winemakers have held for more than a century has come to an end, and the Mexican company Modelo is finally able to market its flagship beer as Corona in Spain, now using the same name as in the rest of the world….
Read my latest article on Dogster… Scooby North America Rescues Galgos Dogs in Spain and Finds Them Homes in the U.S. Few breeds of dogs have to endure the same kind of hardship as the Galgo Español (Spanish Greyhound). Galgos are extremely gentle and calm; get on fantastically with young children, other dogs, and even…
It was a really good turnout today at Rancho Texas Lanzarote, where the construction of the new dolphinarium is under way as we speak. I do hope we made enough noise, for them to stop what they are doing, but fear that greed and profit will, sadly, prevail in the end. But then… we simply…
I really had the most amazing time visiting Israel from 8th to 15th April 2016. Smack in the middle, on the 12th, was my 50th birthday, which was the reason I went over there for. Apart from Jerusalem, I also visited Bethlehem, The Dead Sea and Tel Aviv, all of which are completely different from the…
On my trip to Jerusalem last week, I wasn’t prepared how many wonderful kitties I would meet – I almost didn’t miss my own 3 rascals at all (but don’t tell them!). On the 3rd day of my holiday, I also got the chance to do a bit of volunteering at the JSPCA (Jerusalem Society…
I had the pleasure of doing an interview for Catster with the wonderful Michelle of Kitty Central, who is a total heroine to her 9 cats, and also to many other cats that she has rescued and fostered. :: CLICK HERE to read her story ::
Cute guy defending me! Love it, haha. Stuck-up, typical all-American blonde lady: Get a sense of humour! The marriage to my cats is for *fun* and NOT official nor legal, hence totally not relevant in her comparison to same sex marriages.
Storets, a women’s fashion brand, has partnered up with Neighborhood Cats, a charity organization for feral cats in New York City, to make a faux fur coat & clutch bag that will save feral cats´ lives. Storets started off with the idea that faking it is better than the real deal. Why wear cruel real…
The Arctic Sunrise spent 3 days in the port of Arrecife and opened its doors to the public, supporting the fight against Repsol and the other oil companies. The free tour of the ship was very informative and the volunteers/activists friendly and knowledgeable. See my photos below and the rest on my Flickr page. We…
Happy St. Patrick´s Day! 😀
A new TV Spot that is not just for the Spanish or the people who live here, but to anyone in the world of any nationality who is interested in saving our environment and our planet, generally…. Sign the Petition here: www.savecanarias.org
With Repsol and 2 other oil multinationals on our doorsteps and ready to drill into the ocean floor unless we stop them (and we bloody well WILL!), we are getting a lot of support from all over the place, including this cute, blonde surfer babe…. NO to Oil in the Canary Islands – Sign the…
Morbid fear of children, finding giving birth revolting, valuing my freedom too much. These are all reasons given by women who chose to not have children in today´s article in the UK Mirror. I have never had the urge to want children either. Ever since I was a young girl, I was more into…
Did you know that to declaw a cat is not the same as clipping a cat´s claws? That it actually means an amputation of the last digit of each phalanx, bones and all, usually done on the front paws, but in rare cases on all four paws? You didn´t? I guess it´s time to enlighten you then….
There has been no recent news that I have heard of regarding the proposed Repsol oil platforms off the coasts of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. However, the protests continue, with the next event being a “human chain“, organised for 17:00 hrs on 26th May 2012 in Arrecife, starting at the Cabildo and along Playa Reducto….
President Barack Obama yesterday set a huge historic landmark by expressing that same-sex marriage “should be legal”. This is an amazing step forward not just for the US but for the whole World, as he is setting an example that all human beings should be treated equally, no matter what sexual orientation they are….
