My last encounter with a Hooded Crow was in May of 2009 in the Tien Shan Mountains of Kazakhstan. I thought that by going to see this particular bird in Staten Island’s Great Kills Park I might not only get to see a great bird but might also evoke some nice memories as well.

March 2009. I come from a Portuguese family and I have no problem dumping on the Portuguese. This makes me angry. It has nothing to do with poverty, just stupidity. The shooting occurred sometime between 21 and 23 February in the Vale do Guadiana Natural Park, close to the country's south-eastern border with Spain.

Some pesticides killed pelicans directly, while DDT contamination led to thin-shelled eggs that broke under the weight of the parents. The species reached pre-pesticide numbers by the late 1990s and was fully delisted in 2009. The Brown Pelican has had its share of trial and tribulations. The Brown Pelican is Louisiana’s state bird.

When I was asked if I wanted to read Jeff Corwin's 100 HEARTBEATS (Rodale 2009) I was ambivalent. And managing means killing them, breeding them, and otherwise fiddling with their populations. I know he's a conservationist, therefore I know he will advocate for "managing" the "resources" that are sentient nonhumans.

Yes, racists are allowed to “spew racism,” but they are not allowed to encourage criminal activities, and if they were to carry their “advocacy” to the point of distributing videos that depicted the actual maiming or killing of the people they would like to get rid of, they would not be able to claim First Amendment protection.

If human beings were confined, mutilated and killed, would we call it “humane” if the cages were a few inches bigger, the knife sharper, the death faster?

There was no meaningful discussion about our inefficient use of resources (grain and water) in the feeding of animals to kill to feed people. With regard to cruelty and suffering, it's clear from the film that the human animal has been profoundly negatively affected by climate change, but there is no attention given to nonhuman animals.
