What's your Opinion?

What is your opinion about legalizing marijuana?

About legalizing marijuana, I think it should be legalized, because marijuana can be use like a therapeutic medicine.  Secondly, if marijuana is legalized, drug trafficking will reduce, because people  will not have to ask it in illegal places. Also, like a annex, in the majority cases of people who is arrested by carry marijuana, are only consumers, not drug trafficker.

 What is your opinion about killing stray dogs?

Killing stray dog is a terrible act. First I think that anyone have right to killing another animal (because humans are animals), we should not think we are superior, a human life is no more important than a dog life. Also the earth is a house of all de animals, earth isn't only our. Why we think owners of everything?

What is your opinion about  climate change?

We should learn that the earth made ​​us, not that the earth was made for us. We are killing our home and home to thousands of species only by our ambitious aspirations.







What is your opinion about the Chilean politicians?

I don't believe at politicians. They are always fighting to defend his political party, and also they earn money for this.

What is your opinion about recycling?

Everyone should do it, we have to take care of the resources that nature gives us. We have rights and duties.

This picture was took by my brother in summer of 2011. It was took because I wanted a remember of my hair.
The braids was maked in the beach I remember that I wanted to have this hairstaile and for my lucky my cousin knowed how to do this!! :D! I was very happy. Well when my cousin started to make the braids, my happiness declined a little because it hurt so much :(! I haved the braids like two week, so when I going to disassemble this, I asked my brother to take the picture.
When I disassemble the braid my hair it looked like a mane!!

Why do I want to be a vet?

When I was a child I dreamed being many things, like a magician, juggler, clown, trapezist, police, investigator and a lot of things more. Obviously, like the majority of the children, I was been a vet. 

My love by the animals started when I was very very little, it was born because my grandparents were lovers of animals, they had two dogs. They were my first dogs. I didn't have dogs because I was living in little apartament and my mother didn't like animals very much.

Then when I grew up, I had forgotten the idea to be a vet, and I was thinking to be a musician (but my love for the animal was intact), but one day, when I was going back to my house from the school, I met with a terrible scene. In the door of my house was a little dog and he was suffering so much. This scene change my life. In this moment I decided to be a vet.

Now in university I'm thinking to study the wild fauna to help animals who are in extiction danger or help animals with urgent diseases.
