But what is an ecosystem, also called an ecological unit? It is a set of living organisms of plants and …
In recent years, despite the wisdom of age, I have often confronted myself with difficult situations that have put a strain on my tolerance and patience. I think it happens to everyone, sooner or later. Perhaps, it is a question of acute sensitivity or progressive intolerance. I procrastinate writing on the blog, to avoid disturbing …

n I love to help out people who care about animals. I feel a real deep respect and admiration for humans who really take the trouble to help "the voiceless"... On this planet, millions of animals are mistreated, killed for a sadistic purpose, eaten, kept in cages or chained... There are few organizations (PETA, WWF, …

I went out to buy a sandwich (the two cups of soup were not enough), on my way back to the office I see that there is a certain excitement in front of the Paolino bar, next to the Globus. A big cat (probable a main coon) cream-orange color is sprawled on a chair near a …

Unfortunately, the story teaches: they yells "to the wolf, to the wolf" and then people victimise this poor animal, so defamed and hated because of the facts (real or inflamed) that have been put to the fore for elitist and propaganda purposes.

It's happened to me as well to see "loris" but also other small wild animals on sell in some Asiatic or South American market. These cute little fellows with such big eyes... Actually, I always rejected the idea of pets kept in a cage and many times I was arguing with the bloody sellers, most …

With near certainty, when you were a child, your mother or grandmother will have told you the fairy tale of the "Little Red Riding Hood"... Certainly, lupus in fabula has brought terrible prejudices toward this animal itself little different from his brother, the faithful man's friend: the dog. For centuries, this poor creature was hunted and persecuted, using any …
