Mark Gamin, a Cleveland lawyer, likes cats and birds both. He likes books too, which made him the ideal reviewer for Cat Wars: The Devastating Consequences of a Cuddly Killer. Marra and Chris Santella, authors of Cat Wars: The Devastating Consequences of a Cuddly Killer (Princeton University Press, 212 pp.,
Just as the ranger was telling us that we might see wild cats – well, not wild cats, but rather, Wildcats , the wild version of the domestic cat, Felis silvestris lybica , one of those cats popped its head out of the brush about 50 feet beyond her. The most interesting thing about this cat was lack of kitty-cat-ness.
Smithsonian Institute researcher is accused of trying to poison street cats outside her apartment building on 15th Street in Northwest. Dauphine works at the National Zoo studying wild birds, where her research has focused on one of birds’ enemies: cats. Here’s hoping that Dauphine has her name cleared.
How many birds to cats kill in the United States? A recent meta study ( The impact of free-ranging domestic cats on wildlife of the United States ) that applied strict inclusion criteria and some fancy statistics estimates that 2.4 billion birds, plus or minus more than a billion, are killed by cats every year in the US.
As long as they had no drugs in their system, and as long as they weren’t touched by a cat (and thus contaminated with salmonella/pasteurella/Bartonella, etc.) But I was on a work deadline, so by the time I arrived at the zoo the vulture had eaten several pork chops and some very nice free-range chicken.
Just like people, pets that are not treated right can suffer from stress and other health problems, and an inadequate diet, for example, will make cats more prone to infections and illnesses. Bought toys usually include small stuffed animals and assorted plastic objects that it’s safe for cats to chew. Choosing cat treats.
Eventually one evening driving home I was shocked to get good views of a clapper wandering about my car park (I’m fairly sure it was sneaking my neighbours’ cats food too). Also frequent escapees (or very freeranging domestics) are guinea fowl and to a lesser extent a number of other gamebirds up to and including peacocks.
An abstract of a scientific paper reads as follows (unabridged): “External examination of freerange abandoned dead Greater Coucal in a veterinary dispensary, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India revealed presence of a large sized louse in the feathers and was identified as Laemobothrion maximum on the basis of morphology and size of the louse.”
And most recently, Organix (free-range chicken plus some organic ingredients). I would never say that vegans have an obligation to veganize their dogs or cats. Despite Violet's diabetes, she was never the problem. The problem child was Charles and his irritable bowels, which would make a meal of any kind into liquid in no time.
In university labs nationwide, scientists inflict spinal-cord injuries on dogs and cats, inject rats with carcinogens, test dangerous drugs on monkeys, and do all kinds of evil things to guinea pigs in the name of scientific research. Chefs place live lobsters in pots of boiling water. Hunters shoot down animals in cold blood for mere sport.
Rather than eating dogs, we all ought to eat exclusively small-farmed, free-range meat. My interactions with farm animals have been as affectionate and fun as any I've had with dogs or cats. However, I agree with Mr. Foer that factory farming has to go. We carnivores have to become more benevolent.
