Photographer Mark Ross has captured some truly beautiful, and touching, photos of animals abandoned at kill shelters. From dogs to cats, kittens, and even birds and rabbits, there are all kinds of animals to be found at shelters.

And so, the local subspecies of Bewick’s wren, a bird described in 1908 a “very common on all parts of the island,” was gone by the 1940’s, its habitat converted into goat flesh. And so, most had been neutered, adopted out to soft-hearted landowners as odd pets, conversation pieces. And so, the U.S.

In the end, I concluded that while Binford was right about avoiding misconceptions, it is in fact much much easier to imagine early human ancestors taking down Bambi, than chasing off a pride of giant saber-toothed lions who have themselves recently killed Bambi. Many birds have no sense of smell, many vultures do (helps to find dead things).

Thankfully the days of visiting Africa purely for slaughtering its wildlife have mostly come to a merciful end, and safari operators have adopted the Big Five term to market tours that offer sightings of the fortunate remanants of Africa’s once teeming great herds. They are large, noisy birds of drier areas of East and southern Africa.

That's because those who read Animal Ethics with regularity know that there are many compelling reasons to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle. This precept is variably stated as follows: Avoid killing or harming any living being. These birds are some of the most abused animals in agriculture.

I find it astonishing that people argue of whether feral cats are bad for birds in North America. This is approximated by the size of the animal, but really, this has to be adjusted for depending on modality of killing.

Why can’t a baby bird just hatch out of the egg and fly away, or at least, be able to fly a little and not require weeks of constant feeding and attention? Some birds do this a little. But baby birds get eaten by predators too (often other birds), so I’m not impressed with the difference.

There’s always a chance that we could ingest something bad for us, something that might even kill us – a peril we face anytime we swallow anything, in fact. Good birding and happy drinking! Drinking is an act of risk and vulnerability, though it’s such an everyday part of our existence that no one thinks of it that way. So drink up.
