10,000 Birds

JANUARY 8, 2015

It is one of the ancestors of domestic fowl. Other species I can recognize are colloquially called crocodile bark tree, due to the bark pattern, and paper bark. In the north of the reserve, by the Tadoba Lake, a herd of Chital Deer is grazing, with a familiar sight of Cattle Egrets around them. February 2013.

The very first thing we notice about this large member of the Galliformes is that there is a wild version and a domestic version, and although the two are rather different, they are both given the same species name, Meleagris gallopavo. This is not entirely unknown among domestic animals, but many domesticates have no living wild version.

Animal Ethics

FEBRUARY 15, 2009

Most moral vegetarians list fish and fowl as animals one should not eat. First, it may be argued that only animals who can feel pain are not to be eaten. If beef cattle who could not feel pain were developed, then it would be permissible to eat them. Animals in the wild try to escape from hunters.)
