Ka’ena Point is also a breeding ground for the Federally protected Laysan albatross, where 45 nests were being carefully monitored by the non-profit Pacific Rim Conservation. But no one who has ever cared for another creature – be it bird, animal, or human – can comprehend, much less cope with, this kind of brutal, pointless killing.

The bird on the photo is one of the estimated 3500-15,000 individuals still alive according to the HBW – a frightening thought given the (too) large number of humans, of which there are about 1 million times more (and of course, each of which weighs 5000 times more than the flycatcher). It is probably all downhill from here.

People who follow conservation may recall this range overlaps nicely with an area that has suffered a distressing amount of deforestation and general habitat loss in the last few years, and unfortunately this has had a dramatic effect on the species. A lot of Asia’s storks are threatened by human activities.

The white redtail couldn’t fly because she’d spent somewhere between 14 and 24 hours on the ground in freezing rain, encased in mud, and was suffering from capture myopathy, a sometimes-fatal condition induced by stress. Will she be releasable? It’s too soon to tell. It is a privilege to treat her,” says Carol, who is part Shawnee.

Islands, for various reasons, experience more extinctions than continents (with Africa being the only continent not suffering a bird extinction!).

By weird things I don’t mean human weird things, like for example wasting their time in wild places looking for unusual feathered animals and ticking them off a list, but things that fall outside of their usual repertoire of normal behaviour. It is easy to forget sometimes that birds can do weird things.

While breast cancer awareness month for people might be over, it’s important to realize that we humans aren’t the only ones affected by the disease. Many people don’t realize that pets can also suffer from breast cancer. In fact, I experienced it first hand when my pet rat developed breast cancer late in her life.

And managing means killing them, breeding them, and otherwise fiddling with their populations. In the majority of cases, it is humans who are to blame for the plunging numbers of animals, and Corwin is very clear about the extent to which we have destroyed the world around us.

Now, any medication we take and surgical procedures we undergo also have a long line of breeding, enslavement, torture and killing of sentient nonhumans leading up to them, so objecting to "knockout animals" on those grounds is to stand on somewhat thin ice. In other words, the perception of pain is affected. What about being raped?

I think this is why I understand the thinking of people who don't want us to use animals but who promote changing the way we use them to decrease their numbers or their suffering. I understand the impulse to do " something " that alters the number of animals created to be used and killed and the suffering of the ones created.
