They hunt them down in "the wild." They corral them, lock them up, and take them out to kill, cook and eat them as needed. When one of the bad guys is killed the other bad guys will feast on his body. But more important is that the man has a family: a wife, a boy, a girl and. He asks the man if he eats people.

Somewhere below that mysterious eagle, at the far shore of the lake, lies one Bengal Tiger … and further to the right – two more! The Osprey tries another hunt, finally a successful one, while Telia goes deeper into the water and lies down. All of a sudden, in a hushed voice he says one word only: “Tigers!” He has earned his tip.

After scrolling through piles of furious emails regarding a recent blog about Rip Van Winkle’s Crow Killing Contest , it seemed to me that all of us needed Dr. Phil. The subject was not hunting; it was contest killing. I expected a hard-liner who would accept nothing less than a total legal prohibition on any type of hunting. “As

To the Editor: In “ Hunting Deer With My Flintlock ” (Op-Ed, Dec. 26), Seamus McGraw says he has a responsibility to kill deer because there are too many. He has volunteered to kill a deer cruelly, ineptly and with an outdated weapon that causes additional suffering to the deer. Animals suffer when killed.

Originally a hunting term, the Big Five were the most dangerous and prized targets of the great white hunters on safari. However it is now one of the world’s rarest animals after decades of relentless hunting and poaching. They are harmless to humans and their horns are used for wrestling other males for mating rights.

There is a mushroom hunting expedition in Anna Karenina, Tolstoy’s use of a popular Russian pastime.

The Cherokee nation called them “Peace Eagles” owing to the fact that they never killed a living thing – and also that they tended to show up in numbers after battled when peace treaties were being signed, though admittedly that may have been for a slightly more macabre reason. And when you think about it, that seems right.

Furthermore we have another very special stork-like bird, the regal Shoebill , previously known as the Whale-headed Stork but now placed in its own family. Marabous have also learnt another trick, and that is to follow vultures and scavenge off the remains of Lion and other large predator kills.

What could motivate gunmen (I cannot call them hunters) in two states to deliberately kill North America’s tallest and most critically endangered bird? That’s what you do with other game, right? More states will doubtless join the queue of those proposing hunts. Speculation is useless in acts of vandalism.

When we were at an amazing rock formation, called the Olgas, or Kata-Tjutas as the locals call them, this Nankeen Kestrel hunted all around me for well over 30 minutes before drifting away in search of better hunting grounds. This Pied Butcherbird was right at the base to Ayres Rock.

He is against it for himself and his family. Of course, the problem here, as in the entire book, is that factory farming is clearly the enemy, while killing animals unnecessarily isn't given any more airtime than Foer's personal, philosophical moments that he doesn't require of anyone else. Imagine being served a plate of sushi.

I was attending the 3rd Global Bird-watching Conference in Gujarat and suddenly surrounded not just be species that were completely new, but entire families of birds. Tragic, right? Second, I was in India, which, had you told me even one month prior that I’d be going to India, I would have said you were crazy.

Then again, why would anyone name a bird after a botanist, let alone one I only just made up right now? In the right light, the male Common Pheasant can look ridiculously attractive. When Reed Parrotbill s go on family outings, they usually just climb up reeds. At least as far as the male is concerned.

The oft-told tale of its start in 1900 as an alternative to the “side-hunt” which was itself a long tradition in many families warms many a birder’s heart. No real harm would come, right? You would at least think twice about it, right? Or the Great Bird Count. Is everyone involved going to be Muslim?

Luckily, I have just the mega tour I need, right here in the islands I call home. This outstanding member of the wattlebird family is unique among songbirds in having different shaped beaks for each of the sexes. We’ll also keep our eyes open for several members of the New Zealand wren family.
