Swine flu

I thank God (Allah) for prohibiting eating pork meat or any pig's body parts because it courses diseases that is easy to transmit to human.

I know the Swine flu can not transmit to human by eating the meat, but look at this way, if God did not prohibit Muslims to eat pork meat, by now the Islamic countries would have raised pigs and Swine flu would have spread fast like in America and Europe continents. As the result, two third or 75% of the world population would have wiped out.

That's why Islam, Judaism and other non-Abrahamic religions had prohibited pork. That's God's wisdom and test for his creatures.

Eat Rats

The officials in Bihar state in eastern India, encouraged it’s people in all classes to eat rats and mouse in order to fight the food price and save the wheat and rice.

The worst that the government officials had requested the hotels and restaurants to be creative and include Rat and mouse meat as a dish in their menu.

Bihar state is known to be one of the poorest states in India. How will the vegetarians eat meat and Muslims eat rat and mouse which is against the religion.

No mass production for Genpets

I want to thank Mr. Muscati, for posting his comment about Genpets in my previous article ‘Bio-Genica against God,’ which pointed out that Genpets are not real.

Genpets are master piece created by Adam Brandejs, a Canadian Artist. He has mentioned in his website Brandejs.ca about Genpets:

• What?
• Where?
• Why?
• How?

And here are other posts about the same topic:

• Genpets… Nature NOT Redefined
• The message of the Genpets

And I don’t believe I fell in the trap.

Bio-Genica against God

Bio-Genica, Genetic Engineering and Manufacturing, Inc. is playing against God’s nature by creating Bioengineered buddy known as Genpet. As per Genpets Online Support - FAQ's, the fallowing question and answer raised:

Q. Are Genpets Real animals? How?
A. Genpets are living, breathing mammals. Bio-Genica is a Bioengineering Company that has combined, and modified existing DNA to create the Genpets lineup. Genpets have blood, bones, and muscle; they will bleed if you cut them, and die if mistreated just like any other animal. The electronic components are only in the packages and are for basic life support, outside of the packages the Genpets are wholly organic.

They should have donated for the poor people or invested in agriculture or providing green environment or in finding cure instead of spending millions of dollars for unnecessary pet, that will die between one two three years.

Jordanian veterinarian medical team to conducted the Caesarean section for a cat

Jordanian veterinarian medical team to conducted the Caesarean section for a cat named 'Kati' suffered from "hardness birth" because of early pregnancy.

The surgery was conducted in the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Science and Technology of Jordan. The original cost of the surgery was 100 Jordanian Dinar (JOD) but the charged only 10 Jordanian Dinar (JOD) because they sympathized with the cat’s situation and the duration of the surgery was for one hour and a half.

Seagull becomes crisp shoplifter

A seagull has turned shoplifter by wandering into a shop and helping itself to crisps.

The bird walks into the RS McColl newsagents in Aberdeen when the door is open and makes off with cheese Doritos.

The seagull, nicknamed Sam, has now become so popular that locals have started paying for his crisps.

Shop assistant Sriaram Nagarajan said: "Everyone is amazed by the seagull. For some reason he only takes that one particular kind of crisps."

The bird first swooped in Aberdeen's Castlegate earlier this month and made off with the 55p crisps, and is now a regular.

Once outside, the crisps are ripped open and the seagull is joined by other birds.

'Fine art'

Mr Nagarajan said: "He's got it down to a fine art. He waits until there are no customers around and I'm standing behind the till, then he raids the place.

"At first I didn't believe a seagull was capable of stealing crisps. But I saw it with my own eyes and I was surprised. He's very good at it.

"He's becoming a bit of a celebrity. Seagulls are usually not that popular but Sam is a star because he's so funny."

A spokesman for RSPB Scotland said: "I've never heard of anything like this before.

"Perhaps it tried some crisps in a shiny packet in the street, and was just opportunistic one day at the shop when it saw what was inside.

"As everyone knows, gulls can be very quick and fearless, and clearly this one is no exception."

He added: "We'd discourage people from feeding gulls though, as gulls in towns generate lots of complaints every year, and the availability of food is the only reason they live in urban settings."

‘Fluffy’ the Persian cat

She was a snow white Persian cat, socially and friendly with her own kind, she used to value food and very curios to explore and be friendly with other cats, she makes the effort with her charmnce.

she loved all kind of food, even if she was in a deep sleep and hears some noise arrises from the kitchen, she will run to check what’s going on.

She liked to help in the kitchen by putting her pow on the bowel to help cooking.

About her

Toulouse the name my youngest sister gave it to our pre-owned cat from 'The Aristocats', the animated movie; I used to call her ‘The Pretty Eyes’. She is the only different spicy at home, she has been brought up in a European home were she was a spoiled spot before been adopted by the Arabian family.

She was scared at first from the new family, house environment, she was hiding inside the store room under the wooden stairs, she was coming out only when the nature is calling and for some nutrition for survival, it took her long time nearly six months to get used to the place.

She was treated like a queen, what ever she desires, she gets, she wouldn’t share her food with anyone specially the birds, when they touch her food, she asks for another fresh one for her self.

When her master started getting other cats for temporary shelter, she couldn’t handle it at all, she goes wild, she never ever mingled with her own kind, and she thought her self as unique.

Cat Allergies

Despiting been a feline (cat) supporter I'm suffuring from Cat Allergies, I have to take some anticeptics.

Here is an intresting article about a therapy for cat allergies published by LAURA TANGLEY at The New York Times.

f you're a mouse, an attack of the sniffles when you scamper by a bit of cat hair may be a good thing - an early warning system allowing a quick getaway from the predator lurking under the bed.

In the natural world, of course, mice rarely, if ever, suffer from cat allergies. But laboratory mice specially bred to be allergic to cats have been cured by researchers who have developed a novel approach to allergy treatment.

The results may lead to better therapy for millions of people who are allergic to cats - including 14 percent of children from age 6 to 19 - and for the estimated 50 million Americans who suffer from some type of allergy.

The new treatment, described in this month's Nature Medicine, involves linking a feline protein that causes cat allergies to a human protein that stops immune system cells from releasing histamine, the chemical that sets off allergy symptoms.

To test the therapy, the scientists exposed the allergic mice to proteins from cat saliva or dander, then injected some of them with the human-feline protein. A single injection "blunted the allergic response before it began," said Dr. Christopher L. Kepley, an assistant professor at Virginia Commonwealth University and a co-author of the report.

Dr. Kepley conducted the study with scientists at University of California, Los Angeles.

In earlier work, Dr. Kepley and his colleagues tested the treatment on cultured blood cells from people who were allergic to cats. Cells containing the human-feline protein released 90 percent less histamine than those that did not.

If the therapy works as well in humans as it does in mice, Dr. Kepley said, it may lead to a "faster and safer" way to treat a variety of human allergies. The problem with traditional desensitization treatments like allergy shots, he said, is that they require multiple injections with gradually increasing doses of the allergen, a process that can take up to a year.

And because they expose allergy sufferers to the proteins that make them sick, such conventional therapies carry some risk - and cannot be used to treat potentially deadly food allergies.

Each year, about 150 people in the United States die from food-induced allergies, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which financed the research. Dr. Kepley said his group next planned to tackle peanut allergies. "In theory, you can gear this new technique toward any allergen you want," he said.

Allergy sufferers will have to be patient, though. Even the cat allergy treatment will not be available for at least three to five years, Dr. Kepley said.
