Protect humans FIRST and then animals!!

How many times in one night can I see a tv comercial for protecting animals?? Well almost one every hour! How many times can I see a tv comercial for protecting and fighting against human trafficking?? NONE!! And I have more than 50 channels!! WHY ?? WHY is an animal more important?! WHY IS A HUMAN LIFE OF SUCH A SMALL IMPORTANCE TO GOVERNMENTS AND TV COMPANES?? WHEN DID THE WORLD BECOME SUCH AN UGLY PLACE? THINK ABOUT IT!!

"As many as 200,000 people are trafficked in Europe every year, the majority are women and girls who are forced into prostitution. In Europe, girls and young women are particularly at risk from criminals who promise good jobs or study and then force the victims to be prostitutes. The criminals profit while the girls and women suffer rape and other physical and mental violence. Human trafficking is so common now that it’s the third most profitable criminal activity in the world after illegal drugs and arms trafficking. Victims do not agree to be trafficked – they are tricked - lured by false promises - or forced.
The trafficker takes away the basic human rights of the victim: the freedom to move, to choose, to control her body and mind, and to control her future. Do not confuse trafficking with smuggling. A smuggler will facilitate illegal entry into a country for a fee, but on arrival at their destination, the smuggled person is free; the trafficking victim is enslaved."(QUOTE FROM MTV)

Koliko puta u toku jedne veceri pustaju reklamu na tv za zastitu zivotinja? Svaki sat po jednu!!! Koliko puta u toku jedne veceri pustaju reklamu na tv za zastitu i borbu protiv TRGOVINE LJUDIMA ???

RAZMISLI O TOME!!!

"Svake godine u Evropi biva prodano gotovo 200 hiljada pojedinaca, a većinu ih čine žene i devojke koje su primorane na prostituciju.
U Evropi devojkama i mladim ženama preti posebna opasnost od kriminalaca koji im obećavaju dobre poslove ili studiranje, a koji ih zatim prisiljavaju da budu prostitutke. Kriminalci profitiraju dok se devojke i žene siluju ili dok trpe druge oblike fizičkog i psihičkog nasilja. Trgovina ljudima je danas toliko uobičajena da predstavlja treću najprofitabilniju kriminalnu aktivnost u svetu, posle trgovine drogom i oružjem. Žrtve ne pristaju da budu prodane – one su prevarene – namamljene uz lažna obećanja – ili prisiljene. Trgovac ljudima žrtvi oduzima osnovna ljudska prava: slobodu kretanja, izbora, kontrole sopstvenog tela i duha, i kontrolu sopstvene budućnosti.
Nemojte da brkate trgovinu ljudima i krijumčarenje. Krijumčar će omogućiti nezakonit ulaz u zemlju uz novčanu naknadu, ali je po dolasku na odredište krijumčarena osoba slobodna; žrtva trgovine ljudima je pretvorena u roba." (CITAT SA MTV)

Srecna Slava, Happy Saint Elijah

SRECNA SLAVA

Danas je moja porodicna slava Sveti Prorok Ilija a levo na slici je ikona koju je moj suprug uradio za nasu porodicu u Srbiji. Mi nazalost nismo ovog puta u Srbiji, ali zato cemo da proslavljamo u septembru kad se svi zajedno skupimo.
Sveti prorok Ilija je rodom iz Aronoba iz grada Tesvita. Po predanju, kada se Ilija rodio, njegov otac Sabah je video oko njega anđele koji ga povijaju ognjem i hrane plamenom, što je bilo znamenje njegovog plamenog karaktera i sile ognjene. Mladost je proveo u dubokom razmišljanju i molitvi, često sam u pustinji.


Today is my slava Sveti Prorok Ilija (on the left is Icon my husband painted for our family in Serbia). Unfortunately this year we can't be in Serbia with the rest of our family, but we will celebrate next month when we get there.
The slava (слава), also called krsna slava (крсна слава) is the Serbian Orthodox tradition of the ritual celebration, veneration and observance of a family’s own patron saint. The family celebrates the slava annually on the patron saint's feast day. The slava is regarded a Serbian tradition.

Saint Elijah was born in Aronoba from the city Tesvita. By legend, when he was born, his father Sabah saw angels around him that wrapped and fed him with flames and fire, which was a sign of his power and force of fire. He spend youth in deep thought and prayer, and often alone in the desert.
As Elijah was described as ascending into heaven in a fiery chariot. In many Slavic countries Elijah is known as Elijah the Thunderer (Ilija Gromovnik), who drives the heavens in a chariot and administers rain, storms, thunder and lightning bolts.
