10,000 Birds

SEPTEMBER 10, 2019

As a result, the bird has a long history with the Endangered Species Act. Standing is often an issue in environmental lawsuits and advocacy groups have learned how to meet these requirements, sometimes including named individuals. The post Bird Litigation: “Standing” and the California Gnatcatcher appeared first on 10,000 Birds.

10,000 Birds

OCTOBER 7, 2016

Years ago, I became a wildlife volunteer and advocate because of a cat who caught a bird. Back then, I didn’t know enough about birds, but I knew a lot about cats. I surprised her and she dropped the bird before vaporizing again. They simply helped me with my bird. That was my first trip to California Wildlife Center.

Animal Ethics

APRIL 16, 2009

Animals raised for food suffer miserably. After time in the Marines, I veered strongly away from eating creatures, thinking of their suffering. In my 40s, I became a vegetarian because I was saving sick and injured birds, and I just couldn’t eat them and save them. I still have the same six-pack stomach I had in the Marines.
