My cats refuse to even try Fiery Minivets. While my cats like the taste of the Greater Racket-tailed Drongo , they tend to look fairly ridiculous eating them, as the racket tail sticks out of their mouth. The associated bird species seek out drongos, apparently relying upon them heavily for protection.

Syngenta warns that “Talon” is “hazardous to dogs, cats, pigs, poultry and other wildlife.” I’ll leave today’s blog in her capable hands.

I asked a group of wildlife rehabilitators: “What are some of the Worst Bird Myths? Bells keep cats from catching birds,” wrote Maureen Eiger, whose original furious email was the inspiration for this blog. A woman just told me cats don’t catch birds at night, so that’s when she lets hers out!”. “A Feel free to vent!”.

Wildlife conservation is concerned with protecting wildlife at the level of species or perhaps population. This is quite a big deal for an island group that had no mammals save bats for millions of years. But animal rights groups (albeit not all of them) not only opposed the move, but sued to prevent the poisoning.

We support two ocean protection organizations: People for Puget Sound (local) and the Ocean Conservancy. The purpose is to protect ocean species as a whole. I'm going to try and research other groups to see if there is a group that is more in line with the philosophy I'm trying to follow. But I may not find one.

Maybe those should be protected too? Given that the Black Kite is politely described as an “opportunistic hunter” – which includes the fact that they are more likely to scavenge than most other raptors – the name choice of the company protecting the world’s cyber ecosystem is a bit weird.

The cat actually appeared almost golden in the early morning light and this time we could admire its magnificent thick, blotched pelt, extremely long tail and large head. In fact some of our group decided to head back to camp.

Mentally, they go insane from boredom and stress, just as our dogs or cats would if they were kept in tiny crates or carriers for their entire lives. There is no difference between cruelty to a pig or a dog or a hen or a cat, and so the sooner we relegate these awful devices to the dustbin of history, the better.

It's one that's brought on, no doubt, by the acts of vandalism and intimidation of radical animal-rights groups, but I think it also serves to insulate the research community from any responsibility it might otherwise have to increase transparency and public engagement with the work.
