Seal tourism brings in more revenue for the African country than the seal hunt. Each year, up to 85,000 seals are killed in Namibia to make just a few dollars from their furs, when they would be worth so much more to the Namibian economy alive," said Claire Bass, WSPA International Oceans Campaign Leader.

Even though a 2013 petition by the Royal Society of Protection of Birds failed to convince the Scottish parliament to make it official, the campaign to make the Golden Eagle Scotland’s national bird continues. A Golden Eagle (1916), another painting by Archibald Thornburn.

I hate what she did as far as wolf hunting and a few other things. But as far as her national campaign, I'm her biggest fan. Hell, I'd contribute to her campaign if I knew she wouldn't blow it on something with rhinestones or PBR for the Toddster. The funniest part about her is that conservatives think that we "hate" her.

I have been so impressed by our NWRs that nearly five years ago, an incredible wildlife photographer and my friend Ingrid Taylar and I began a campaign to create a new funding stream for our beleaguered refuges; the Wildlife Conservation Pass Project. I hope you enjoy these photos of my recent experience with the Snow Bunting.

Wind turbines have been proposed several times for areas close to the BSBO – one of the great bird flyways on the continent — and the Kaufmans ( and their colleagues ) have spent a great deal of time and energy campaigning against them. Kaufman knows that duck hunters can be ardent, loving conservationists, too.

Mallards did not occur in New Zealand naturally, but were released to provide hunting stock. State biologists believe though that the best way to reduce these releases and the resulting hybridization is through public information and education campaigns. The New Zealand Grey Duck is nearly extinct as species.

Illegal capture for the wild animal trade is an obvious peril for such a charismatic species, but this big blue bird is also hunted both for its meat and feathers.

Their names echo musically in my brain (and challenge my typing skills) as I look at photos fuzzy and sharp, and read tales of habitat encroachment, avian disease, and hunting. It’s a lot harder to ignore conservation campaigns to save habitat when you’ve seen the ‘photographic record’ of what happens when you do.

Regarding deer: The harm caused by overcrowding of deer herds on limited available lands, to both the deer and humans, is well documented in the scientific literature, which also documents the fact that controlled hunting is not only the most cost effective way to deal with the problem, but the only really effective way as well.

The HSUS isn't even anti-hunting ! They do appear to wish to put an end to what they believe are the worst abuses of institutionalized animal agriculture, such as gestation crates and veal crates, but that's hardly a call to end animal agriculture. Parker uses the term "anti-modern farming activists," which is new to me.

This species’ population is suspected to have decreased rapidly, owing to levels of hunting on the staging and wintering grounds, and habitat deterioration (largely as a result of land cultivation). In the Western Palearctic at least 20-30% of the population are shot each year, often accidentally during hunting of other species.”

There were reasons to think that the White-winged Guan had been extirpated by over-hunting. Hunting pressure in a heavily populated region (even for Nineteenth Century standards) and easy access were likely to result in the extirpation of the Guan in the regions surrounding the site of collection.

Great Frigatebirds engage in “unihemispheric sleep” on hunting trips of six to ten days, never landing, sleeping less than an hour in a 24-hour cycle, often keeping one-half of their brain awake while the other slept.

My mind wandering off: A century ago, birding meant hunting birds and we stole the term from hunters – it may be time to steal another one: “Lord John came abreast of me, however, and his face was more grave than was his wont. .” So, where’s a sportsman’s challenge there? Back to gulls.

Not only were they a common bird, they were a common bird nearshore; indigenous peoples hunted them up and down the coast. With the geese rediscovered, an intensive campaign to remove introduced foxes began, and many geese were relocated from Buldir Island to islands they formerly inhabited.

How fertility control might be applied to millions of possums, especially in the face of evidence that trap neuter and release campaigns for cats achieve nothing useful in denting the numbers of cats, is not answered by these groups in any way I can see.
