The elephant was out browsing with its herd when it uprooted a tree thus blocking a dirt road. As members of staff started to clear up the branches, it turned on the senior keeper and gored him. The man died of his wounds later, much to the dismay and sadness of his family and the local community. The elephant, not an orphan itself, didn’t have a history of trauma so why did it do this? Did the negative ET alliance have a hand in this? What actions could the staff, community and family take to optimally heal from this tragedy?”ClosedNicola asked 2 months ago • Animal Issues100 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “My Soul Mate Cat recently passed away at 9 and a half years which is young for the breed he is. He meant the world to me. Is he okay and is there anything he would like me to know?”ClosedNicola asked 5 months ago • Animal Issues301 views0 answers0 votesWe noticed our dog start to reduce his activity and become lethargic and unwilling to take stairs, etc., right after we returned from a 12-day trip while our son stayed in our home to dog-sit. The vet has been unable to diagnose a physical malady. Could our absence, perhaps experienced as possible abandonment, have triggered past karmic trauma to undermine his health? What is most important for us to know?ClosedNicola asked 5 months ago • Animal Issues242 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Elephants fascinate: Physically, they are vital to their ecosystems and the singular characteristics of their trunks are miraculous in their functionality. The 24 month gestation period and resulting families are the epitome of the bond between mother and offspring. Herd bonding is based on a wide range of emotions; from showing love to anger and grieving, and are so playful. Calves are very endearing. Elephants’ legendary memories, human-like lifespans and range of emotions perhaps explains why human-elephant hybrids are on the roster of Asian deities. Do they have individual souls? Do they experience karma? Could Creator give a tutorial on their creation and benefits for human culture?”ClosedNicola asked 5 months ago • Animal Issues328 views0 answers0 votesWould our dog get a significant nutritional benefit from our adding a raw egg to his daily meal of dog kibble? Is it quality protein and essential fatty acids he’s been missing?ClosedNicola asked 5 months ago • Animal Issues223 views0 answers0 votesIs the kibble we are feeding our dog plus a one-quarter can of Nature’s Domain Pea Stew a healthy and adequate diet for him? The vets tell us that canned dog food is pretty useless, nutritionally, and that the kibble is a science-based balanced diet. Is that the case? What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 5 months ago • Animal Issues223 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Can you please give us both some feedback as to why my sister’s dog is constantly scratching his face and body? It’s distressing for him and us to see him struggling. The vets keep giving him steroids that are expensive and when the course is finished, he’s right back to the scratching and rubbing his face. They’re both on my Divine wish list for healing.”ClosedNicola asked 7 months ago • Animal Issues304 views0 answers0 votes
