  In Looe town where waters flow, Where East meets West as tides ebb and go, Lived Captain Jago, brave and true, With children dear, sweet Tegen and Lou. 
  One golden morning, bright and fair, They sailed to check their lobster snare, The Jolly Lobster cut the foam, Far from their Cornish coastal home. 
  The first few pots held usual fare, Brown lobsters caught with skillful care, But when they hauled the seventh pot, Something magical they got. 
  The water glowed with golden light, A wondrous and amazing sight, Inside the pot, beyond compare, A lobster with shell golden-fair. 
  Her eyes were amber, wise and bright, Her claws caught morning's gentle light, And then she spoke in voice so sweet, "I'm Lulu, pleased you all to meet." 
  The children gasped in pure delight, At this most magical sight, A talking lobster, golden-true, Like nothing they had ever knew. 
  "I've watched your family," Lulu said, "Since your great-grandfather's days," she led, "I've kept you safe upon the sea, A guardian spirit, wild and free." 
  Captain Jago faced a choice, Between his heart and practical voice, This golden lobster, rare and fine, Could make his family's fortune shine. 
  But Tegen spoke with gentle grace, "Papa, look at Lulu's face, She's not just treasure to be sold, But friend worth more than gold." 
  Young Lowen added with a grin, "Let kindness and love win, Great-Grandfather would set her free, Back to her home beneath the sea." 
  The children's wisdom touched his heart, And set his conscience apart, Captain Jago made his choice, Love would be his guiding voice. 
  With gentle hands he held her high, Beneath the Cornish morning sky, "Dear Lulu, you must be free, To swim back to your deep blue sea." 
  Lulu promised as she went, Her gratitude would never be spent, She'd guide their nets and keep them blessed, For choosing love above the rest. 
  Into the sparkling blue ocean waves she gracefully slipped away, But her wonderful magic lives on today, In hearts that choose what's good and right.

  The Shocking Truth about Animal...

  The concept of animal rights is a deeply philosophical and ethical issue that challenges our views on how animals should be treated and regarded in society. At its core, animal rights is the belief that animals, like humans, have inherent value and deserve certain protections from harm, exploitation, and abuse. This perspective asserts that animals are sentient beings capable of experiencing pain, fear, and pleasure, and thus, they should not be subjected to unnecessary suffering or exploitation for human gain. 
  Historically, animals have been viewed largely as property or resources for human use, whether in agriculture, industry, or even entertainment. Over time, however, a growing awareness of animal sentience and the recognition of their complex emotional and cognitive abilities have led to significant shifts in how societies regard and treat animals. The modern animal rights movement can trace its origins to the mid-19th century, with the establishment of the first animal protection laws and the formation of advocacy groups dedicated to the welfare of animals. 
  The industrial revolution marked a turning point in the relationship between humans and animals, as it saw the rise of factory farming, animal testing for medical and cosmetic purposes, and the widespread use of animals in entertainment. These practices sparked widespread concern about the ethics of animal use, leading to the formation of various animal welfare organizations, including the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in 1866. These groups campaigned for more humane treatment of animals, but it wasn’t until the 20th century that the concept of animal rights as a broader ethical movement began to take shape.
