Would you like to see these animals on your holiday to Canada?

January 21st, 2010

After i had said that these animals all lived in Canada, everyone looked at me like i was weird. It did feel as though not many of the people I asked even knew where Canada was.

I was having a discussion with a friend one day about Polar Bears, when I told him that they lived also in Canada, he looked at me funny. I then had to take him to a computer and show him the Polar bear Capital of the world. Churchill is where a mass of Polar bears all pass through to get to where they want to settle. There are about 15,000 polar bears in North Canada, probably more than many people think. There are around twelve hundred Polar Bears that traipse through the Town of Churchill each year at fall.

Now we come to the cunning weasel, and to be honest for me the main reason these animals are so great is simply because I think there is no other that can be collectively called a Boogle! In fact Weasels can be found almost all over the world, with Australia and Antarctica as the exception. The Weasel is considered by many to be a cunning creature and is found all over Canada, they eat small rodents. Those that consider them vermin couldn’t be more wrong, especially when they help to dispose of rats and rabbits, much like ferrets.

This one is quite an obvious one, or at least I thought so, almost all of the people i asked didn’t know that it lived in Canada, maybe it is just the people i asked? The Biggy is the Walrus, now when you think that they have measured up to six and a half metres they are a bit bigger than a Polar bear. The Walrus hase very large and strong Ivory tusks that are used in nasty conflict and to scare off any predators. They were once in trouble of becoming extinct, but since laws have been introduced to stop their being hunted, their population has recently boomed.

So does any of this make you want to go on Canada holidays, I am off on Vancouver holidays all next year, and will be taking as many pictures of animals and wildlife as possible, Canada tours are my forte!

Would the people give up there holidays for the environment?

December 19th, 2009

There is growing concern about the environment, but how concerned are we really? People are burning fuel all across the world, and all we do is create more unique ways to help damage the planet. We take something like a boat and turn it into a cruise ship, we are no longer people that live for necessity we live for luxury.

If we are really concerned about the environment, what are we going to do about going on holidays? Are we just going to keep on having a go at the world, saying we need to do something about this, yet still jump on a jumbo jet for a holiday to the Caribbean? How can we just let talks about saving the world go on, and back everything that is said, and then take off to a luxury location via one of the most destructive of all transportation techniques, the Cruise ship.

However how can we be sure that the world is really in that much trouble? A lot of this is all speculation, backed up by only minor evidence. There may be some evidential backing to all of this, but it is impossible for any scientist to actually say when the world is going to come to an end. So whats next for all of us to attempt? In truth, the damage being caused by flights isn’t in the great scheme of things all that bad, it is where fuel is being burnt in extreme amounts.

People being banned from going on holidays is so unbelievably unlikely, that we must find new ways to look after ourselves and the planet. It is up to the people to decide if they want to stop, but many of us feel as though we need holidays, so therefore won’t stop taking them, even if it does mean damaging the planet, when we get the opportunity for a holiday we have to take it. Cruise ships however, they can be banned immediately in my eyes, these contraptions are pure evil, great for destroying the planet and spreading disease to kill people, as far as i am concerned get rid of them.

There could be a rush for holidays in the next decade, where would you go, Cuba holidays, Egypt holidays or Maldives holidays?
