BAD NEWS FOR THE
TEKELS PARK WILDLIFE
AS THE THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY IN
It is amazing that an
organisation such as the Theosophical Society in
be a spiritual organisation, can
have no consideration for the future of the wildlife in its care.

_________
Tekels Park is sanctuary for animal wildlife including deer, foxes,
squirrels, badgers, bats, newts and stoats, and for birdlife including sparrowhawks, woodpeckers, tawny owls and many more.
Theosophy talks
of a compassionate attitude to animals and
the sale of a sanctuary for wildlife to a
developer has caused serious division in the
Theosophical Society in England
The Deer
The Theosophical Society in
but now has no concern
for its future.
Although the law gives protection to deer against cruelty, they are not
in fact a protected species and could be slaughtered. It is difficult to see
how the continued existence of the deer in
Badgers have
been residents of
There are fears
that development will destroy
their foraging area on which they depend.
The law gives more protection to badgers than it does to deer. It is
illegal to harm a badger, destroy or obstruct the entrance to badger setts or to keep one as a pet. Protection against the
effects of development is less clear and badgers depend on a wide foraging area
which could be reduced or destroyed by development.
In the
The Trees
There are many species of trees including 3 types of redwood, ginkgo,
eucalyptus, red oak, tall magnolias and lebanese
cedars.

Tekels Park has always been, and still is, advertised
as a “Spiritual Retreat”. The vegetarian guest house continues to take bookings
on this basis and here is a write up for a
Theoversity - The Spiritual Retreat
23 –
25 April 2010
Most people need a moment or two away from
the general activity of the everyday life whether professionally or a busy home
life with all its pressures and demands. This weekend is an opportunity to take
a break and relax, reassess or prepare for up and coming talks or
presentations. The weekend is also for those who wish to spend time in
meditation and contemplation on their lives, their future and fulfillment.
The surroundings of course form the basis of the spiritual experience
being sold here. One can only speculate on the effect on this experience of the
realization that Tekels Park could soon
be going under the bulldozer with the inevitable disastrous effect on the
wildlife.
It would also be upsetting to find out about the sale after the
spiritual event.

shrouded in so much secrecy that even the majority of the Theosophical
Society’s actual card carrying members don’t appear to know what is happening but
here are some contact points.

Please note that
there is more than one Theosophical Society. Only the Theosophical Society with

The Tekels Park
Estate Limited
RH15 9AE,
It doesn’t
require a Diploma in Finance or even a Diploma in Anything to know
that this is a bad time economically to sell
Tekels Park
Many are unhappy not
only that this is certainly a bad time to get a good price for the Tekels Park
Estate but that professional advice in 2009, not to sell the Park, has been
ignored.
Despite the attempt to keep the sale
secret, the
Adyar Theosophical Society leadership,
and
members who have had a long association
with
Tekels Park, are
fully aware of what is being done
to the park and yet are happy to conduct
Theosophical Society events there.

animals have served their purpose and can be discarded

From the Website Owner:- Dave Marsland
I am dedicated to the
future of the Tekels Park animals and have created
this website in support of saving them.
My main concern in
posting information on this, and related websites, is to draw attention to the
sale of the 50 acre sanctuary for wildlife to a property developer and the
inevitable deaths of the animals by slaughter or habitat destruction.
The killing of the Tekels Park animals would be an obscenity and as a long
standing student of Theosophy, I cannot turn a blind eye.
I maintain that the Tekels Park management and the Theosophical Society in
England leadership have attempted to keep the fate of the Park and its wildlife
from public attention and the attention of the Theosophical Society in England
members.
