As part of my effort to keep concerned wildlife enthusiasts informed about the proposal to hunt Eastern Flyway sandhill cranes, it is my duty to tell you that there’s another vote coming up.

It’s a good thing too, because it is the leading gamebird in North America in terms of total harvest and the widespread distribution of hunting effort. Use of non-toxic shot when hunting waterfowl has been mandatory, nationwide, since 1991. Yields more high quality meat as it retains 95-100% of the original bullet weight.

Hunting, the bush meat trade, habitat loss, population increases, they all have a part to play in this story. We owe it to them, and to ourselves, to arm ourselves with good information about this, and I can recommend this book as a great place to start. This lake is close to the cave. My photo of the cave was bad, sorry.

The topic was the concept of humans as predators, or hunters, or really, eaters of meat, and I was discussing the many ways in which people misconceived this notion.

Thus, the cattle we raise for meat and dairy are sometimes called Bos taurus while the extinct wild form is always called Bos primigenius. Both are somewhat propagandistic and probably not fully accurate, but they match other sources of information about the time and place so they can be used albeit with caution.

If you want to see photos of all 8 of them, there is a nice one-page leaflet online which is also the source of some of the information below. Another item they feed on is hunting edible bird nest swiftlets, which are quite common in edible swiftlet houses in Sabah, Malaysia ( source ). A good reason to come back soon then, I guess.
