4 The Love Of Animals

NOVEMBER 4, 2013

We hear a lot about healthy diets, both for people and for pets. Because we choose the food for our pets, it’s important for us to understand which nutrients are essential to health. Protein helps support lean muscle tissue for adult pets, and for puppies and kittens, protein nourishes growing muscle tissue.

We nature bloggers were part of the scene, first as part of the seminal science carnival Tangled Bank and later with our own community carnivals like, of course, I and the Bird. TL; DR, the Nature Blog Network has run its course. Remember the blog carnival craze? We deserve our own toplist, don’t we?

In Kangding, there is a rather opulent bird hide – two stories, solid construction, spacious, lots of glass, a separate paved parking lot, though mysteriously (and as far as I can tell from my experience of living in China for almost 20 years, not indicative of fundamentally different physical needs of Chinese people) missing a bathroom.

If your family is thinking of remodeling your home to integrate your pets’ living quarters, make sure that their sleeping quarters are as cozy (and stylish) as yours! If you do allow pets in your bedroom, there are many ways to give them their own space without compromising the overall design scheme of the room.

This was illegal, because according to FWC regulations, if you already own a pet that has been deemed invasive or illegal, you are allowed to keep it until its natural death, and it will not be confiscated or euthanized. Reptiles that are not treated ethically simply do not make good pets. Of course they would react differently.

I happen to be particularly fond of turtles because my family has taken care of a small box turtle for 30 years (beware–turtles are extremely low-maintenance pets but will outlast your child’s youth and probably your life). Lovich and Whit Gibbons bring decades of research and experience to this book.

Pepper was a beloved family pet. Here's the final paragraph of the piece, which I'm sure you'll have some thoughts about: Pepper's journey in the summer of 1965 helped start a national media sensation and a broad panic over the theft of pets for biomedical research. Stay tuned. I look forward to the rest of the series.

He’d like to thank his mom, his agent, and of course the Birding Academy. Does anyone here have personal experience visiting the Charles M. The votes are in, and Red-naped Sapsucker is the winner and my proud new nemesis, although Gray-crowned Rosy Finch also made a strong showing. Hooray, in short, for nest cams.

Over at Animal Rights and AntiOppression , we’ve been discussing tactics and sharing our thoughts and experiences about what works and doesn’t work when it comes to advocacy. Many of us have difficulty with the idea of keeping “pets.” Of course I was appalled, but out there in the mainstream world, she is an outlier.

This would be a night drive, cold, dark, uncomfortable seats, loud engine in the giant 26-seater truck, scanning the brush and the roadside with three or four strong spotlights wrangled by volunteers among the nature-loving tourists, and of course, the headlights of the truck. And, of course, something interesting came along.

As a clumsy person, she enjoys the experience of literally stumbling through nature, learning as she goes, experiencing the magic of finding something interesting. She teaches anthropology at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania, USA, and lives in Maryland with her husband and not nearly enough pets. I’ve hit an all-time low.

When I saw the Live Science article about dogs being as smart as 2-year-old kids I knew that if there were any talk of ranking, my beloved greyhounds would be at the less-desirable end of the list (not from personal experience, but from reputation), and I also knew that there would be a whiff of speciesism. Do you think this helps dogs?

Beloved family pet Dalmatian, Pepper, is stolen, and after several weeks of searching is discovered to have been experimented on at a hospital and died on the table when researchers tried to implant her with an experimental cardiac pacemaker. By the end of my time as researcher, I was performing behavioral experiments on humans.

Here are some myths: Falconry birds are essentially pets. Of course I can’t speak for every falconer out there. They are going to watch the situation but one told me that this man has hunted with a wild snowy several years ago, so he’s had experience working with them. I learned that I knew nothing of falconry.

And of course, as a (pop) culture whose sensibility has been formed by The Onion and The Daily Show , it's no wonder. Researchers conducted experiments in a lab, then released the animals into the wild, making sure to note that "This was a much harder part of the study, and involved lugging around of batteries," and found similar results.

They are not necessarily the biggest African animals, but represented those that were considered a real hunter’s worthy prey or “game” – the African Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Black Rhinoceros, Leopard and king of the jungle, the Lion (which of course doesn’t inhabit jungle but savanna!). In Asia they are even commonly kept as pets!

Horowitz and other scientists are now running experiments to determine what a behavior, like a kiss, really means. In some cases, their research suggests that our pets are manipulating us rather than welling up with human-like feeling. The children, of course, picked the right cup–no surprise since they saw the toy being hidden.
