Belgium born entrepreneur Olivier Van der Elst was talking to WILD TIME host Thomas Janak on yesterday's edition of WILD TIME. Olivier co-founded Greenair where they promote and sell exhaust free, environment friendly cars. Their car, called the REVAI has won prestigious awards so far and is readibly available almost everywhere in Europe.

Olivier, who joined the conversation from a hotel room in Galway, explained the reasons behind the car and the obvious money saving scheme behind it. Also mentioned was a new internet page, Olivier wants people to look at!

Holiday Season - please be kind

My brother sent me this from Germany:

You woke up in the morning, very early, and you packed the bags.
You took my lead – I was so happy, just a little walk before the holidays – GREAT!

We drove for a while and you stopped on the sidewalk of the street. The door opened and you threw a stick. I ran and ran as fast as I could to get the stick to bring it back to you. When I finally got back you were gone!!

In a panic I ran in all directions hoping to find you, I ran and I ran until I was completely exhausted. I was hungry and very afraid.

A man came and put a collar around my neck and soon I found myself in a cage waiting for you to return. But you never came.

The strange man opened the cage again and brought me into a room – it smelled of death! My time was up!

Beloved master, I want you to know that despite all the suffering you put me through I will always remember you. And if I were to be reborn I would return to you because I love you so much!!

……….

This is so heartbreaking and so true.

With the holiday season upon us PLEASE be reasonable and DO NOT ABANDON YOUR PETS

WILD TIME is back on Friday with studio guest Olivier Van der Elst from Greenair

The last show before the summer break will be on June 6th and will be a recap of all that made wildtime so brilliant!!

An Taisce and Friends of the Irish environment

The beautiful and passionate Anja Murray, Natural Environment ...

... Officer with An Taisce, which means "The treasure" translated into English, ...

... was yet another interesting WILD TIME guest. Thomas was joined on the phone ...

... by Tony Lowes from Friends of the Irish environment, and it was heartbreaking ...

... to hear from these charming experts how bad the overall situation of our Irish wildlife and environment really is.

By the same token, it was encouraging to listen to Anja and Tony as they have the strength to continue fighting for their noble causes and they encourage people to join them.

Next week Thomas will be talking to Olivier Van der Elst from Greenair live in the studio.

SILENT CRY (Poem)

by Mae Newman

SILENT CRY

Slap bang in the middle of the road he stood,
stretched to his full height, in a stately pose,
his dead lover at his feet.

Heartbroken, demented, not knowing which way to turn,
you could sense the anger, despair, heartache.

Looking at each car, pleading, help me
bring her back to life.

And the next thought, if this is human I don't want to know.

You could taste the venom he was spitting
the grief he was feeling.

Not knowing what to do,
I thought of stopping, maybe help.
Then I was too far gone to go back.

How could I have known a bird, a pheasant,
could love and suffer like a man.

.................

Mae read out this poem during the show on May 9th and gave WILDTIME permission to (re)publish the poem here. Thanks to Mae for this wonderful poem.

The stray dog had been snatched off the street with the help of local kids just to be tied up so that people can watch it die. More info available on the actual page of the petition.
