I started hashing in year 2000 and have gone through the experience of being terrorized by the wild life habitats that live in the jungle. Snake, bees, leeches and other crawlies are viewed as nuisance to hashers. Proud to say, after more than 500 weekly runs, many of which were treacherous, I have become a hash hardcore. Well, not quite so, as my fellow hashers may like to think otherwise.
Hashing is good for health and shall be recommended and encouraged to people who like outdoor activities, though some may believe that hashing is a dangerous sport. But the most disturbing fact is that many parts of the jungles we used to roam were cut down and destroyed for the sake of modern developments.
To me, I believe hashing besides having a good body workout; it can also promote awareness of environment preservation and ecological balances.
It is time we learn that deforestation has a serious consequences to the wild life and we must accept that animals in the wild have the rights to live and co-exit with us.
