He refused, saying, “I do not protect birds. I kill them.”*. Do we really want a bird to be named after a man who was proud of killing birds instead of protecting them? Apparently in 1902 he was asked to address an Audubon Society meeting. A man who couldn’t even finish a round of golf in the Olympics?

Tangles of wild plants and dense undergrowth left to thrive in chosen areas of your property will provide shelter, protection, and natural nesting and roosting sites. You may be able to intervene so as to protect the adults and increase the nestlings’ chances for survival. There are three prime objectives for monitoring nestboxes.

It is estimated that there were more than 1000 Great Bustards in the northern lowlands of Serbia at the beginning of the 20th century, but back then these birds were also present in the south and the east of the country. Not the strictly protected bustards, but Red Foxes, Brown Hares, Pheasants , as well as Hooded Crows and Rooks.

To me, this is like giving a child a baby rabbit as a birthday present, and then when Harvey proves to be a bit too much to care for, bumping him off in front of her. So, please, take a couple of minutes from your day to take action to help protect this magnificent and wild creature. The state’s response? It’s bad PR.

Nobody knows whether the single pair bred successfully – it seems unlikely that they did – but they were present throughout the summer.

It's too bad that Latimer's presentation is so obnoxious, as even when he raises what might be valid points, he makes you want to disagree with him. Again, they just want to prevent the "cruel" hunters from killing Bambi's mother. And one of that handful is the environment. First of all, does he really believe that piffle?

So, even if animals are killed painlessly and raised for food in humane ways, it is wrong to kill them. Consequently, the killing of some animals for food, if done painlessly, is not morally objectionable. They, too, may be killed and eaten on the view under consideration, provided, of course, that they are killed painlessly.

There's a vague sense that perhaps he cares about the dogs or thinks that what he does to them might present an ethical dilemma, but the overwhelming feeling is that it's all worth it.

Another bird that was present in several forest areas that we visited was the Forest Kingfisher with its distinct spots on its wings when in flight. At high tide the shorebirds have a protection wall where they can roost on green lawn and feel safe. Sadly we did see a lot of road kill and no doubt a result of people driving at night.

However, the above rationalization does not directly address the issue of contributing to the unnecessary killing of a conscious sentient being.
