SEPTEMBER 6, 2011

A Spanish version of the following article appeared in the 9/4/11 edition of the Honduran publication, La Tribuna. In the Far East they keep birds of prey which they use to capture other animals such as foxes and rabbits. The quail, guans, ducks and pheasant are hunted for their meat. It is quite simple.

Code, Title 18.48, made it a federal crime to knowingly create, sell, or possess a depiction of animal cruelty with the intention of placing that depiction in interstate or foreign commerce for commercial gain. For more about the case, see this Chicago Tribune column and this NYTimes article. I don’t think so. Code, Title 18.48

While it is laudable to publish a paper about the threat to laughingthrushes (including this) by the bird trade, I still feel that lame-joke titles such as “Nothing to laugh about – the ongoing illegal trade in laughingthrushes ( Garrulax species) in the bird markets of Java, Indonesia” should be avoided.

The two main areas, Greater Sundas and Wallacea, are separated by ‘Wallace’s Line,’ a boundary drawn in 1859 by British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace, who realized that the two areas had totally different birds and animals. It includes articles by the authors too, in case you want to read more of their work.

I returned home with very mixed feelings, which have spurred this article. Now that the colony is off limits for hunting, the population has grown and the village is benefitting tremendously from entry and guide fees, and a school is being built courtesy of conservation funds. Ghana’s people are just as friendly as before.
