Spawning Carp - This male and female carp are swimming along the stones on the edge of the lake to deposit their fertilized eggs in a relatively safe place. They're doing this in the manner that God ordained for them to propagate their species. There are many fishermen on this lake, too. Many of them catch the carp, which they consider a "trash" fish, in the furtherance of their "sport". A "sport" in which humans take pleasure without the least regard for the pain and suffering they are causing these magnificent creatures. Furthermore, no creation of God deserves to be degraded; for all are precious in the sight of the Lord.

Presented here are just a few of the countless components of God's creation. Just as we
cannot have human and animal life without water and plants, neither can we have
lasting peace without love and compassion. It is our hope and prayer that
this series will motivate people to live and act in a cruelty-free manner; that
we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the animals or our environment.
