The lake consists of a large body of open water, a belt of tall yellow grass (where a big orange cat can blend and disappear if it chooses so) and, all around it, thick forests of predominantly teak, interspersed with thickets of bamboo.

Now, there is a new study that has significant advantages of the Bumpus study, though the latter will still be useful in teaching about evolution because of its limitations and the questions it raises.

In contrast, the females need to make sure not to get duped into raising actual cuckoos – the buntings are a targeted host species ( source ). This thrush actually is among the prey items of the very rare Iriomote Cat, a cat that lives only on a small island. The White-browed Thrush is not a lot more attractive.

Sadly it had recently been killed and was lying in the garden bed beside the path. All indications are that it was a feral or domestic cat that had caused its demise. We were grateful that we had found the Fairy Pitta while it was still only freshly killed and it will be going to the Western Australia Museum as a specimen.

The grass is swaying under a passing vehicle, spreading pollen and killing me with allergy. Raising the binoculars to teary eyes, I am trying to see the bird in the nest on a nearby pylon. An adult to raise its head. and I are slowly following overgrown tire tracks between fields of golden-coloured wheat.

Two of the activists, one painted to look like a dog and the other like a cat, stood in gift boxes holding signs that urged people not to view animals as toys and to adopt pets instead of purchasing them. The protest’s goal was to make “society aware” of the fact that animals “need time, love and lots of care,” AnimaNaturalis said.

But I have to think about which words I focus on, and whether they're going to help me in my quest to get more people to stop killing nonhuman animals/having them killed when they don't need to. I say don't start talking about terms that mean nothing to them or using language that might alienate them. But that's me.

So here is an even more modest proposal than roasting Fido: Try eating only what animals you are willing to kill with your own hands. Dogs were bred to be companion animals; pigs and cows are raised as food. My interactions with farm animals have been as affectionate and fun as any I've had with dogs or cats.

To the Editor: Soon after I read Gary Steiner’s article, my wife asked me to kill a spider, which I did. We kill so many living creatures when we build a house, construct a road, drive down that road or just walk on a path. But even then if we were to survive we would have to kill some animals in self-defense.
