Inserts in rodent poisons that assure the public they will not kill anything but the offending rats or mice pedal the same questionable claims as those of the snake oil salesmen of bygone days. Likely not, but one rescued bird can teach the public in a way we cannot. Will all rescued animals survive to have a happy ending?

Cats who are allowed outside are also vulnerable to being scared away from their homes. Some of these lost animals will eventually be reunited with their families, but others will sadly be injured or killed in traffic or remain unclaimed in shelters. “Noise phobias in cats tend to be less noticeable,” Dix continued.

Not many people may know this, but there is a feline related to the domestic cat that is also named tiger – that one is the namesake of the Tiger Shrike.

Animals in the tri-state area are euthanized daily, rescue groups are unable to save as many lives as they wish, and animals spend years in boarding kennels while awaiting adopters to fall in love with them. As a foster parent, you can set certain guidelines with the rescue group as to what type of animal you prefer. Consider adopting.

I know about the common mistakes people make when they find young birds, assuming that because they’re on the ground with no other birds in sight they must be abandoned or in need of rescue. It’s impossible to know, of course, but I like to think some of the photos may be my rescue.

The causes were the usual reasons for island extinction—deforestation by both humans and invasive plants that crowded out native plants, hunting, and invasive rats, mongoose, monkeys, and, of course, feral cats. A foot deep by some accounts, it killed what life was left in the forest. And, then there were the droppings.

Animal Ethics

AUGUST 6, 2007

Breeders kill shelter animals’ chances to find good homes.
