Moving the blog to it’s own domain name
I think that the time has come to move the blog from wordpress to it’s own domain name. I am currently looking into how to do this with very little stress on my part. The blog may end up at All the Creatures and take the place of that website. At this point I am learning all about FTP and wordpress.org. With over 2,000 visitors a day now (for the past week), the blog is growing faster than ever. I want to offer the readers of this blog more information but some of it might offend someone. Those that are offended could complain and I would be a the mercy of wordpress. I want freedom of the press at this point.

Guinea Pig festival in Peru
I just saw the annual Guinea Pig Festival on CNN that takes place in Peru. Those people are just a little twisted in my mind. The guinea pigs are treated like pets and dressed up and paraded around the town. At the end of the parade the festival continues with the killing and cooking of the guinea pigs. The “pet” parade now turns into a cooking and eating celebration.
Now I am well aware that some cultures eat different animals than we do but I still find it very strange that a town would treat an animal as a pet then slaughter it for a festival.

125,000 rare gorillas found
I think that nature has a way of surviving the odds. The Western Lowland Gorilla has been on the endangered species list for at least the last 20 years. In 1980 the estimate was that there were only 100,000 gorillas left in the world. This week a special announcement was made. In a swamp in Congo, Africa a group of gorillas has been found. The survey of the area’s gorillas was done in 2006 and 2007 and the estimate of the newly found group of gorillas is said to number 125,000. This number is in addition to the estimate of 100,000 world wide. The greatest threat so far that the gorillas have had to face is the disease, ebola which can also affect the local human population.
Now that the area has been made public I hope that the local government has seen to it that the gorilla population will be protected from poachers.

Human doctor makes 900 pet beds for animal shelter
Doctor Phyllis Popp of Mesa, Arizona has a sewing hobby. She got tired of making clothes so she decided to sew beds for the animals in the local shelter. She has made over 900 beds in her spare time. Some are used in the shelter, others are given to the foster homes that take care of the animals and some are sold in the shelter’s store to raise money for the animals. She calls the beds “Labor of Love Pet Beds”.
