Big Gunns answer to a pm from JLC

[Big Gunns]

I(no third person) was asked by JLC what can someone do as far as wildlife conservation goes. The reason for this question was because what I said on the Steve Irwin thread. My answer to that would be to do whatever you can. Obviously everyone can't do what I've been doing, but there is always something you can do if you put your mind to it. Even donating to a worthy cause is something.

I have loved animals all my life and really did decide when Steve Irwin died that I should use my gift(clearly BG is gifted) to help them. I really don't care what anyone thinks about it either. Clearly some people are going to be cynical, but I could give a rats you know what what anyone in this business thinks. I have met a lot of good people in my years, but I have met a lot more that could care less about me or the animals they own. This is how most people live their lives. They care about themselves and what's good for them. Obviously I have been guilty of this same thing in my life also. That needed to change.


Scot West's wife from Sea Shepherd had asked me to post a link to the site to make people aware of what is happening in Taiji Japan. I did this on my buddies Steve's forum and will do the same thing here. I don't know why I feel the need to say this BUT.....I'm no "animal rights nut", but some things are just wrong. In some respects I feel a little hypocritical complaining about what another country does, but if you watch what I have filmed, it's just wrong.

So JLC you asked what you can do. Here is just something Big Gunns has been up to the last few years. http://www.seashepherd.org/dolphins/...vember-13.html There a few pics of BG, but a least this one doesn't make us all look like dwarfs because Scot shrunk the pic up to fit the screen. You can also notice who took the video on that page(it's on the front page of the website also). You'll notice Big Gunns decided to keep the reptile forum name. There are more videos on youtube at bigunnsmissions. There is going to be a lot more in the future also.


Everyone has a choice in life how they want to live it. I'm not 100% sure what the future holds for me, but I have a good idea. I'd be willing to bet that quite a lot of animals in the wild would be extinct right now if it wasn't for a few good people. I've decided to try and be one of those few good people.

You can be cynical if you want, and I really don't care. I'll just let Big Gunns actions speak for themselves. My hope with this thread is that maybe I have motivated some of you like Steve Irwin's words motivated me. I'm sure a lot of you thought that Big Gunns was full of it when he said that he had more important things in his life than this "business". Well, maybe now some of you might believe it. This is only one of a few things BG has been up to....and there are more to come. This one(Taiji) is Big Gunns priority right now though. Hopefully we(everyone involved) can make a difference.

The funny thing is Big Gunns is just thinking right now about his true haters. The ones that could never look through the BG bull on the forums. BG is 100% sure they will think that BG spent all his money and time just to try and make himself look good. If any of you bozos actually believe that. Please get some serious professional help. Yeah....if you think BG is talking directly to you. He is.

Anyway guys and gals. Big Gunns really does hope that maybe you are motivated like he was to try and make a difference in some small way in your life towards something positive. It doesn't need to be animals, but hopefully something. Yeah yeah, BG knows he may sound a leeetle corny right now, but like he said. BG could give a rats you know what.

Big Gunns will let Mother Teresa speak for him.


Do good anyway...

"In the Final Analysis"

by Mother Teresa

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered...
forgive them anyway


If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives...
be kind anyway


If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies...
succeed anyway


If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you...
be honest and frank anyway


What you may spend years building, someone may destroy overnight...
build anyway


If you find serenity and happiness, people may be jealous...
be happy anyway


The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow...
do good anyway


Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough...
give the world the best you have anyway


You see, in the final analysis, it's all between you and God...
it was never between you and them anyway

It's what was said at 3:04 that changed BG's life.

Well now you know more about BG than he usually likes to let out. Not that much of you care since he deserted yah a while back(BG is sure many are mad for more than that also since he knows how people think), but now yah know anyway.

Big Gunns did see one of the truly good people in the bizz today though. You can think what you think of why BG might be saying this(kissing up....not), but BG knows that everyone knows that Heather is one of the good people in this business and it was good to see her again.

Not exactly(BG has his own submarine), but the girl to the left of BG in that pic is Rosie. She will be on the next mission to the Antarctica.

I was always a big fan of the show and have donated money to it also.

My girlfriend love dolphins so we always watched the show and it was one of the things i donated to when i had some extra money.

Its sad what they do to them it really is.

Thank you, Neil. I do not have money to give right now...but I do have time. I'll just have to find a way to give it in the right direction.

Just a idea. Maybe we could do some advertising for them on bp.net?

Not sure if u guys/gals would be up for that?

Thank you for the suggestion. The Admin Team will take that under advisement.

I cant believe BG has a soft spot. Kidding aside, I admire your awareness to current issues concerning wildlife.
