Most organizations aiding pets in devastated areas are not-for-profit. These three groups are already operating mobile veterinary clinics and other services in Haiti, and planning to go to Chile when they’re allowed in: IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare). WSPA (World Society for Protection of Animals). Offer your time.

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.

I know that they provide an important service, but what kinds of protection do they have? This way, they can protect the dog and, in cases of abuse, take it back without any legal hassle. (I I couldn't find confirmation on the site, but read about them in Healthy Pet magazine.) It seems like the best approach to me though.

Let me introduce my guest blogger, Lisa Owens Viani, co-founder of the California-based group RATS ( Raptors Are The Solution ), which educates people about the dangers of rat poisons. Does the product above strike you as black humor, only not funny? I’ll leave today’s blog in her capable hands.

I’ve written at length in the past about the circumstances of that extinction event, how the rich endemic fauna was utterly vulnerable to introduced mammals and how waves of invaders wiped out different groups of species. Of particular interest would be the commitment of the islanders to give up having cats as pets.

Nonprofit pet protection groups would manage the program and be responsible for ensuring that cat caretakers take the required steps. They may be “outdoor cats” with a specific owner, stray pets, feral, or may have originated in one household and are now fed or cared for by other households in the neighborhood.

birders have been able to visit Cuba as part of survey groups and cultural exchanges for years, but those trips have been few in number and not always easy to find. In addition to habitat loss, extreme weather, invasive species, hunting, and the illegal capture of birds for pet markets are major contributing factors.

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. And thanks to the efforts of groups such as PCRM, that ample use isn't so ample anymore.

Foxes have also been known to take their eggs and there are now numerous local groups who endeavour to help the populations of Hooded Plovers along their local coastlines. On a local level we need to consider if we really do need to let our pets chase shorebirds and whether we really do need to drive along our shoreline.

The primary reasons for the decline of macaws and parrots are many but habitat loss due to logging; clear cutting for crops and cattle ranching; and capture for the pet trade rank among the most threatening. These threats are further exacerbated by the naturally low reproductive rates of these cavity-nesting birds.

It’s relatively easy to classify birds into family groups based on physical characteristics. We sing about them, we paint them, we use them as mythic and poetic symbols for our spiritual and emotional feelings, we wear them in myriad and often colorful ways, we adopt them as household pets.

During a brief moment of insanity after the death of my pet kitty Brady in 1991 (at the age of 17), I attended Vermont Law School to study Environmental Law. A group of law school students walked far out of their way to avoid the sight. And I fully intended to make this post into a podcast, but I'm rusty on the technical parts.
