But the cost of changing the installed hardware base and the human capital invested in QWERTY effectively precludes those alternatives. The California Scrub-Jay is an example, as the version of Sibley on my shelf refers to it as a Western Scrub-jay. Even the app example is ambiguous.

Animal Ethics

JULY 14, 2012

Whether individuals have legal rights depends on the laws and other legal background (e.g., the United States) citizens meeting certain requirements have the legal right to vote or run for elected office; in other countries (e.g., Libya) citizens do not have these rights. First, moral rights, if there are any, are universal.

In issuing its condemnation of established cultural practices, the rights view is not antibusiness, not antifreedom of the individual, not antiscience, not antihuman. It is simply projustice, insisting only that the scope of justice be seen to include respect for the rights of animals. Might does not make right; might does make law.

The Humane Society and other groups oppose it as a power grab by big agriculture to prevent another Proposition 2 (the initiative passed last year in California to improve standards for farm animal care.) And, of course, this board would be dominated by big ag's people, so I think they're right. It's an issue to follow though.

It also brings to mind the uncontested link between animal abuse and violent behavior toward fellow humans. What I want to know is: a hundred feet away, how can these people tell the difference between a crow and a raven, which is a protected species?” You shoot a bullet up, sooner or later it has to come down.

The unrivaled aerial champions of the Americas have to be the two species of Condor, the one-time almost nearly extinct California Condor and the truly massive Andean Condor. The California Condor has a story well-known by anyone with an interest in birds. California Condor , photo by Sheridan Woodley. Old Wold Vultures.

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. For only $450,000, we could buy almost all of the habitat neded to protect Ecuador's remaining frogs.

Australia is a vast country with a very small human population, which mostly clings to the edge of the continent. There are only approximately 23 million people in the whole country, which is about 10 million less than the state of California. Handbook to The Birds of Australia, 1865. What a horror! What a disaster! What a wrong!

Other birds with webbed feet, including ducks and geese, have only three webbed toes; the hallux (which in birds is usually the “hind toe&# and in humans, the “big toe&# ) is free. And, the birds are awesome. Good day sir.

That’s right, the overwhelming benefits to the environment and the economy are generated by non-consumptive uses of the refuges like wildlife photography, environmental education, wildlife observation and interpretation, not hunting and fishing. The refuge was established in 1958 to protect and enhance habitat for migratory birds.

There are are presently thought to be five species of kiwi with a possible sixth extinct species, all of which have suffered varying degrees of range contraction since the arrival of humans. They are commonest where they are intensively protected and managed, but these places are often remote and hard to visit. Wicked, right?

Farm animals also benefit from the humane farming movement, even if the animal welfare changes it effects are not all that we should hope and work for. Go vegan, go vegetarian, go humane or just eat less meat. How far do we go in protecting them? It’s all good advice from the point of view of doing better by animals.
