Sorry, the polar bears will not be bailed out. Which brings me to the topic of women and animals. Women must be at the forefront of a movement that recognized animals as sentient beings. There are still too many women wearing fur and ignoring the suffering that is behind the fur industry. Women are still taking their children to the circus to see wild animals perform. Please, my sisters, understand that we can never be considered civilized as long as we tolerate any suffering, including that which is endured by animals for our stupid pleasures.

Wow - I never thought it but I guess whale actually do have a “carbon footprint” - all animals breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. But they eat the small animals and keep them in balance and those animals (or the animals they eat) eat plants. Mmmm. Plant exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen so they have a negative carbon footprint, so if we get rid of ALL the animals, we will eventually solve the problems. I vote for another solution, please. I want the human race to continue, thank you, and our other animal friends in the biosphere. Best long term solution: Limit your reproduction.

Jane, I have been a Lily Tomlin fan forever, and when I found out you write most if not all the material, I was very impressed! Now, I get to view some of your other talents! I love to hate the care-toons. At least the ones about the bears and the whale - I did not look at the others as yet, I felt a need to hurry and let you know what a great job you are doing. The term Care-toons is much easier for me to handle, bc these are NOT funny! Obviously, they could be… I like what you chose to do, instead. Make a not-so-subtle point. Ain’t it grand just how wonderfully gifted and talented so many women really are? I absolutely love this website, and feel fortunate to share with so many amazing women! It keeps HOPE alive in a world really MUCKED UP! Thank you ALL!
