There are dog fights and dog attacks in Portugal and, per the December 5 post , the government came up with some legislation without consulting any animal rights groups. ANIMAL says that the legislation is not effective and is too loose. Plus, the government is demonizing certain breeds of dogs even though they are very much victims.

These globally threatened raptors breed from Ukraine eastward through Siberia and only a few come to overwinter here. Several poachers were waiting in ever thickening darkness (Serbian legislation forbids night hunting). The biggest count ever was less than 10 birds in the whole of Serbia.

Up to the mid-20th century, Pygmy Cormorants were a common breeding species of wetlands around Belgrade… until the wetlands were drained and the birds were lost, at one moment – from the whole of Serbia. And the biggest Pygmy Cormorant roost in the World is hanging in a limbo.

Perhaps you like them enough to have supported legislation protecting wetlands in the United States and Canada. In the case of birds that breed in the Arctic, they may only spend a fourth of the year up north. You may even have donated to organizations supporting wetland preservation there.

This isn't to say that Feldstein hasn't or won't write about topics interesting to animal rights advocates (such as Breed Specific Legislation), but the mere existence of the two should get people thinking. And the more people thinking (assuming they keep thinking and translate that into action), the better off the animals are.

It is obvious to me that the male Marsh Wrens at Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge are getting ready for the females to visit their breeding territories. Back in the 2010 breeding season, I was able to observe a male building a nest at this exact same time of year.

But voters called and e-mailed and sent letters to their legislators making sure that the original decision was preserved ! But for me, the number of adopted dogs doesn't make up for the fact that we have no right to breed dogs to use them as gambling chips. Rhode Island's only dog track, Twin River, will be "suspending" dog racing.

Possible segue into the tie to gaming that's artificial, but legislated, and needs to change. Of course, there's the pure breed discussion as well as the breeding of dogs, in general, discussion (most frequent after the racing discussion for me). Segue into horse racing. There are plenty of places to play poker here.

With the help of a captive breeding program, the Peregrine bounced back, and in 1999, they were removed from the Endangered Species List. They were officially listed as Endangered in 1970 in the U.S. Peregrine Falcon at Delevan National Wildlife Refuge.

However young and healthy, captives judged inappropriate for exhibition or breeding are considered 'excess' and usually are 'unloaded' or killed. By pairing humane with slaughter , legislators have sanctioned horrific cruelty and mass murder. What if slaughter were freed (miraculously) of all terror and pain?

This crisis calls for mandatory spay and neuter legislation. Given the current dire shortage of homes, no breeding is responsible. Every time someone buys a puppy or kitten from a breeder, a shelter animal loses its chance at a home and pays with its life. Breeders kill shelter animals’ chances to find good homes.

However, the authors call this a “new breeding tactic”, which seems to mix up the discovery of the tactic with the use of the tactic. Some of the lazier Common Moorhens apparently try to pass the arduous work of raising their chicks on to other species -a paper describes how Little Bitterns are utilized as surrogate parents.

Then a little later there was a spot of bother with DDT, but we pulled out of that one ok, with a toolbox that would surely stand us in good stead if we only had the will to use it – legislation and literature, captive breeding programs, nest platforms. We could do it! Then the 80s happened.

An argument of such magnitude is a clear case example of whim legislation. Anti-gun/gun-grabbers use this argument to attempt to push through anti-gun legislation when a horrible shooting occurs. There is no wrong in using a breeding rack, it does not damage an animal. Any takers for any part of that?
