Today I’m exploring a couple questions that have been bouncing in my head for a while…I’d love to hear your thoughts…I’m not calling into question animalrights, just the focus of the movement. – The Great Ornithologist Felonious Jive Animalrights. This makes perfect sense.
In responding to Suzie’s post defending wildlife rehabilitation I began to think again about the areas in which animalrights and animal welfare overlap with the field of conservation, and the ways in which they don’t. Not from an environmental perspective but from a “don’t you like animals?”

Fish and Wildlife Service tells states when they may propose a hunting season on cranes, and has ultimate jurisdiction over whether the states get their seasons. So we can squawk at the state wildlife departments all we want, but the USFWS has the final say. It brings to question the purpose of wildlife management. Street, N.W.
While it makes a passing attempt to say not all scientists are like these monstrous fiends (or truly arrogant, as she dubs them) it mostly focuses on these monstrous fiends simply to prove that scientists in wildlife conservation can be monstrous fiends, particularly compared to the environment-loving oil industry of Alaska. Best guess?
Interestingly, we just went on a tour of the Canadian Rockies where the wildlife corridors and fences were lauded by the tour guide as a way for wildlife to avoid the roads. Apparently, there's room for improvement. From the Calgary Herald. The efforts were to no avail. The bear was struck last week and found dead two days later.
whether it be animalrights or human rights. Tags: India wildlife trafficking poaching tigers china. I don't trust the Chinese government on any issue. What kind of protection do they really mean?

Federal wildlife managers are fighting in court to take the unprecedented step of castrating 200 wild stallions in Nevada, in an effort to control surging populations of wild horses across the West.
