It is a "first person" story of fennec foxes who are poached for the pet trade, and I simply want to instill the emotion that it is not right to domesticate these animals just because they are cute and that it affects them negatively. This woman trying to make a living off what is an unethical activity to us would be part of the fennec fox's journey. Please email me at kasza.art@gmail.com if you have any comments or ect. My blog is at artkarolina.blogspot.ca.

Just wanted you to know that there are more people enjoying your trip than you may realize!

You probed further, though, and saw another side to the issue. Wouldn't it be great if we all would stop to ponder things more, to engage in critical inquiry, to try to walk in another's shoes? Good for you!

Then below Europe, it appears to be Australia. That is by far the most messed up geography I have ever seen. :P<BR/><BR/>I can't wait for your list of things you dislike, or disagree with in Tunisia. It should be an interesting one. As for your independent study, it should be really interesting and rather easy to talk about ethics in the Tunisia desert. You could break down various arguments, and even think about the reasoning on their end. It should be a really good read from you. I can't wait to read it in a few months.<BR/><BR/>Keep up with the pictures, it would have been cool to see a larger (clearer) image of the one with you sliding down the sand. I have a feeling your face would be priceless to see in that one. :)Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604816117015534384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561168830363738883.post-44231609022890795822009-03-12T10:16:00.000-05:002009-03-12T10:16:00.000-05:00BTW, what planet IS that cartoon fennec holding? ...BTW, what planet IS that cartoon fennec holding?

The income the woman makes from treating the animal this way may seem small to a western observer, and not significant enough to justify her actions, yet it might be vital to her and her family. Your independent study should be an interesting one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
