The Greater Flamingo is the bird with the pink bill tipped with black. The leopards place their kill in a tree, protecting it from poaching by other predators. So, the best way to find a leopard is to find the kill. We observed far fewer Lesser Flamingos, a near-threatened species. How do you tell the difference?

Marabous have also learnt another trick, and that is to follow vultures and scavenge off the remains of Lion and other large predator kills. They have even been known to kill children who have been incautious enough to approach too closely. They also prey on frogs and crabs.

I can also imagine how much it costs, which kind of kills the dream a bit. Fish & Wildlife Service expects sea levels to rise due to global warming, swamping beaches on which Snowy Plovers currently nest, it is good news that the number of beaches proposed for protection as Snowy Plover nesting habitat has doubled.

The latter is even captured in a somewhat gruesome video , in which the hornbill plucks a caged bird out of its cage and kills and eats it. At 15h59, the female picked up the fourth chick and killed it by repeatedly crushing it with her beak. Then she tried to feed it to the remaining chicks.

Animal Ethics

JULY 7, 2009

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.

Kills in Canada, Alaska and Mexico are not included in the count. Texas and North Dakota together account for 88% of the total yearly kill of sandhill cranes.

What could motivate gunmen (I cannot call them hunters) in two states to deliberately kill North America’s tallest and most critically endangered bird? In the only state in the Central Flyway that protects cranes from hunting. Or is the mandate to protect the welfare and habitat of our state’s wildlife?

The species was seemingly killed off by feather hunters, but then, after years, reappeared at the site of one of the deserted breeding colonies, Torishima Island in Japan. In the water I find a single black-tipped feather as their only trace. Snow Geese, photo courtesy of Tom Middleton.

Yet not mentioned is a simple step that will go a long way toward ensuring compliance with our already lax slaughterhouse requirements: Place video cameras throughout the kill process. The federal government needs to recommit itself to putting boots on the ground in America and elsewhere to inspect and protect our food supply.
