I hope, when I reach their age, I'm as active and effective as Bob Barker and Betty White are in the animal rights movement. Legendary game show host Bob Barker says it will cost $200,000 to move three elephants from the Toronto Zoo to a California sanctuary, and he doesn't mind paying for it himself. Excerpted from CBC News.

I' m concerned about Maple Farm Sanctuary , whose founders are two of the seven subjects in our new film , and I was wondering if you'd be willing to reach out through your blog to let people know that the sanctuary is in a financial tight spot right now. The sanctuary runs on a very modest budget of approximately $55,000 year.

Most of the time was spent in and around Sultanpur, a highly recommended bird sanctuary about 50 km from Delhi. These photos were actually taken right from my hotel room. Though with just two birds and no alcohol in sight, this may not be the right term. Also a regular in Shanghai. Black Francolin. Very shy, unfortunately.

There is barely enough light for a photo. Two owls and a nightjar! Gir is a fantastic birding area! Promise fulfilled.

Most days, that seemingly random place is right at home. In the erstwhile sanctuary, common species like Red-billed Pigeon , Blue-black Grassquit , and Rufous-collared Sparrow abound. Although I prefer to be immersed in the challenge of quiet and unpredictable deep forest birding, I’ll watch birds wherever and whenever.

The result is that on one level he knows that hurting sentient nonhumans isn't right, but if it's done in a certain respectful way (oxymoron, anyone?) He romanticizes his childhood usage of animals as if that was the right way to do it , and he longs for those days. it's not so bad. I'm not sure how that equals soul.
