I know I've been taking a break recently but I just want you all to know that I'm totally disgusted and upset over what has happened at MLF and my thoughts are with the animals and ground staff at the park that have had to deal with this horrible lack of forethought or common sense. In what situation is it ok to not have an emergency plan? especially in a low lying coastal area? I am very angry about this and all I can tell myself to feel better about this is that maybe because of what happened to Valentin, and all the lost lives at MLF, maybe other parks will form/revise emergency plans for themselves and be prepared when a natural disaster inevitably happens.

Some of the transient number/letter codes are really long and because a new number/letter is added every generation I feel like eventually they will be like T65a5b6d and God that scares me.

Why vegans should use honey instead of agave nectar
Okay, so I might get a lot of hate for this, I might not. I don’t particularly care either way, as long as word gets out about this, because it’s extremely important to me.
As I’m sure most people know by now, bees are disappearing at alarming rates. Simply put, our entire species could not survive without them. This is due to a syndrome called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD).
Many vegans opt to use agave nectar instead of honey, because agave nectar is plant based. But harvesting of agave nectar is threatening the existence of two other endangered species: Mexican long-nosed bats (who live strictly off of nectars - primarily agave nectar) and the Jaguarundi (a solitary feline who basically looks like a love child between a jungle cat and a ferret.) Approximately 113,126 acres of these animals’ habitat were destroyed from 1991 to 2000, and more has been destroyed since.
On the other hand, beekeepers are essential to increasing bee populations. They monitor the bees’ health and help protect them from dangerous parasites and pesticides that are suspected to cause CCD. In addition, well-kept bees never need to use the amount of honey they produce; Honey is made by the bees to consume only when there is not enough food for them outside the hive. In the care of a good beekeeper, this will only happen during the winter months, and the keeper will leave enough honey for the bees to thrive until it’s spring again.
It’s best to buy local, organic honey if at all possible. Local beekeepers will not use dangerous factory-farming methods, and it helps maintain your local bee population! If you want to help bees in a more active way than buying local honey, you can plant a bee garden or even become a small-scale beekeeper! (I don’t have a link for this, it’s best to check out local resources. Maybe even ask the person selling honey at your farmer’s market!)
This is great info that I never knew about!!
