Their nest is typically built with a base of bark strips and flakes with lumps of earth; with a cup of finer bark shreds, grasses and rootlets, but mainly lined with fur. These are nestlings, just a few days old, in their comfy, fur-lined nest, begging for food. The owlet looking up to the parent bird is the one currently being fed.

They strut about flicking their luxurious fur capes, roaring, displaying their massive canines, chasing off rival males and generally just releasing their built-up testosterone, but back at the ranch, it’s the females that actually call the shots.

Animal Ethics

NOVEMBER 27, 2007

But I saw on television that certain animal-rights activists demonstrated against the wearing of furs. The message is that wearing fur is wrong.

Tika and her longtime mate, Kobuk, had raised eight litters of puppies together and were enjoying their retirement years in the home of my friend, Anne. I wondered what in the world he’d brought back and discovered the wet ball of fur was a very young bunny. As we all know, dogs are “man’s best friend.”

In the mid 1700s, fur-traders began introducing foxes up and down the Aleutian chain, in order to generate some more raw material work with. In order to raise our awareness, to remind us of what we have lost, and to inspire us to fight for Every. We must fight to save every species we can, every ecosystem, every niche.

A new Australian Big Year Record was set by John Weigel, who did his big year to raise money for Tasmanian Devil conservation. Not only that, but they raised money for the Houston Audubon Society and the Katy Prairie Conservancy. Perhaps the biggest big year of 2012 was in Australia.
