The Frog/Mouse picture is amazing. It reminds me of an old old old story called "The Battle of Frogs and Mice." Like Alexander the Great old. A mouse drinking water from a lake meets the Frog King, who invites him to his house. As the Frog King swims across the lake, the Mouse seated on his back, they are confronted by a frightening water-snake. The Frog dives, forgetting about the Mouse, who drowns. Another Mouse witnesses the scene from the bank of the lake, and runs to tell everyone about it. The Mice arm themselves for battle to avenge the Frog King's treachery, and send a herald to the Frogs with a declaration of war. The Frogs blame their King, who altogether denies the incident. In the meantime, Zeus, seeing the brewing war, proposes that the gods take sides, and specifically that Athena help the Mice. Athena refuses, saying that mice have done her a lot of mischief. Eventually the gods decide to watch rather than get involved. A battle ensues and the Mice prevail. Zeus summons a force of crabs to prevent complete destruction of the Frogs. Powerless against the armoured crabs, the Mice retreat, and the one-day war ends at sundown.

Heart warming! It saddens me when mankind's arrogance and hubris towards the natural world, cloud what is simple and life affirming. Photos like these reminds me that we are all in this together.

I just dont get it. You hear one thing then you hear the total opposite. I drink raw organic milk. Even on here, Mercola, talks about the benefits of raw organic milk. So whats the story? Is it or isnt it good for you? Now i will hear from the vegans that its bad for you and it causes cancer bc it has added hormones..and steriods, antibiotics..but yes thats conventional milk..not organic raw milk coming from a small local dairy..where they absolutly love there cows..and they eat what there supposed to eat..grass and they roam..and they even eat organic kelp..So whats the story. Is it or is it not good for you. Thanks.

Don't these pictures demonstrate that we can, indeed, all live together on this planet, in peace, love and harmony?

The mother sow does not reject the baby tiger because it is of a different species.

The frog does not laugh at the mouse's inability to survive the raging waters.

And the macaque does not scoff at the pigeon's different ways.

Why does our species persist in distaining all others?

Do we have an innate desire to destroy ourselves and our planet?

We are all in this, together. We must learn respect and admiration for our fellow creatures, great and small, on this Earth.

Before it's too late.

Remember when we could enjoy these pictures for what they are? Cute? Without the discussion turning to dire warnings and criticism of the subject matter? It is sad, really.

Those ARE cute.

Hey, I get those kind of photos frequently. Does anyone know how I could send some in to the good doc?

So much for the silly notion that humans are the ONLY creatures that ever drink the milk of another species! At least half of these photos are dealing with animals of one species being raised and nursed by a mother of another species.
