Ten Ways To Be A Better (Online) Birder
10,000 Birds
AUGUST 28, 2012
Birding birder's etiquette birding resources I Am BirderReport the rare birds you see, including known “continuing” rarities. This is a no-brainer. Sometimes, report the rare birds you DON’T see. This could be very helpful to those debating a chase trip. 3.Quit being so anal retentive. Birders have the capacity to be bafflingly anal (its all part of the nerd persona I guess), but this is evident online more than anyplace else. It is both funny, frustrating and sad.

On Jeff Corwin's 100 HEARTBEATS
Animal Person
NOVEMBER 21, 2010
I know he's a conservationist, therefore I know he will advocate for "managing" the "resources" that are sentient nonhumans. And of course that premise is only possible because the animals (and everything else on the planet) are our "resources." That depends largely on us, our priorities, and our allocation of resources. We can stop using animals and "allocate resources" to educate Homo sapiens worldwide to change their relationship to the animals around them.
Canada to Push Seal Hunt Agenda at G-7
Critter News
FEBRUARY 6, 2010
Canada needs to stop exploiting its natural resources and move into a more sophisticated type of economy. The Canadian government is so damn stubborn on this issue. The second half of the article deals with their attempts at pushing that damn seal hunt. Is it THAT much a part of its economy? You'd think they were a developing nation with nothing else to offer.

Etched In My Heart offers pet lovers a wide variety of personalized gifts. They were nice enough to send us personalized frames for our dog and bird.

Sea Lions Shot Near Seattle

FEBRUARY 16, 2010
Of course, will be there sufficient resources expended to catch the killers? This is in our own backyard. Total cowards. I hope they're caught because they could face a 50 thousand dollar fine. The deaths are a violation of the Marine Mammals Act and, because it’s a protected species, the shooting death of a Steller sea lion also violates the federal Endangered Species Act.

Do a Name Search for an Animal Offender
Critter News
JANUARY 23, 2009
Still, what an awesome resource. You can do a name search on pet-abuse.com to see if there is any information in their database. But remember, "all individuals are innocent until proven guilty. This search is intended to be used only as a guide, and it should be remembered that there may be instances where two people live in the same town with the same or similar names." These people are amazing.

Critter News
JANUARY 28, 2010
Zambia's Minister of the Environment and Natural Resources is calling for a greater cooperation between her country's agencies in dealing with this serious issue. Wildlife crime such as poaching and live animal smuggling is becoming increasingly sophisticated. This because it is being run by organized crime networks with professional and ruthless criminals. It's not just some guy with a gun and snare.

On "Cheating" and Cookbook Authors
Animal Person
FEBRUARY 1, 2010
I'd imagine that the more resources available to the mainstream about going vegan and cooking/preparing vegan food, the better the odds that more people will go vegan. There was nothing surprising about Oprah's most recent show about food. It was full of Michael Pollan, Food Inc., the way we treat animals, and the way we turn food into food facsimiles with unusually long shelf lives.
Ways to Effectively Lobby Congress
Critter News
AUGUST 10, 2009
It's a great resource. OpenCRS is another great resource. Mark Markarian has a great post on how to effectively lobby Congress on animal issues. All I can add, as a former Legislative Correspondent and Legislative Assistant is to put in a good word for Medicare and Social Security. Creakers vote more then any other demographic group. You don't have to say you're old. Just give them the impression that you are. Make them work for the response instead of spitting out one form letter.
NYT Equine Thought Experiment

MARCH 18, 2009
As humans tend to do, early ones looked around them and saw everything and everyone as resources for their use. Forgot to hit "publish now" on this. The New York Times presents us, this morning, with "Equine Alternative" regarding the recent discovery that horses decided to allow themselves be domesticated by humans for our mutual benefit, earlier than we had thought (3500 BC, and we preciously thought it was more like 2500 BC).
Creature Update
Animal Person
APRIL 7, 2010
So many, so little time, so little support and so few resources. As many of you know, 2009 was chock full of creature-related drama for me. From the feral cats of Project Treadstone to Charles' back surgery to problems with Violet's Vetsulin (insulin for dogs), we had more than our share of issues. If I told you what I spent last year doing work-wise, you probably wouldn't believe me and you'd definitely suggest I write a book about it.
