Louise du Toit - Ode to the Amur Leopard

There are less than 40 left in the wild and we have NO MORE TIME to waste...we have to act at once to support their salvation, united in our compassion and love for these beautiful creatures, and for all animals on earth. Music, lyrics, performance, recording and video by Louise du Toit in Greece, 2010. LYRICS: "On the mountain slopes of Jilin, in an eastern forest afar, an Amur leopard was hunting under the morning star. Her catch would feed her precious cubs, give them strength to grow; becoming noble kings and queens of the thick white winter snow. Following her victim's trail, she heard a distant sound, soaring closer through the woods, determined to surround. Hateful humans, with sticks of death, stared her in the eye; until they fired a thousand shots, urging her last cry. Pictures of her offspring kept circling through her mind, as she slowly vanished, leaving life behind. A handful left and one more down, when will it ever stop? Destruction is our flight of stairs, ascending to the top. But when we shall look down one day on what we left behind, a barren earth, a lifeless world, is all that we shall find. So let us raise our voices to save and to preserve, all living beings, all that breathe, with the love that they deserve." The copyrights to the music and lyrics are reserved by Louise du Toit.

@emirdriss - My dear friend, it is lovely that you take care of so many little felines and that you teach them how to survive in the dangerous human jungle. We have 15 cats all together...quite a handful to handle!

jeg har 6 katte, og jeg nyder dem, og bor ikke op til vejen, og de kender trafikken, når de er på opdagelse, så jeg tæller dem, når der er spisetid, bliver undersøgt, og ligger om dagen rigtige udstrakte her og der, inden for, dem har jeg haft fra 17 år og nedefter. mine 2 hunde holder kontrol med dem, også hvis andre misser vil have mad.

dette var en smuk film, og musikken skær lige ind i sjælden, tak
