For example, years ago, Eiton Tchenrov postulated that the wild progenitor of the domestic dog, some subspecies or another of wolf, could benefit from overlapping its breeding territory with human hunters.

He describes lark mirrors and other contraptions that were used to entice the birds into traps in detail, and cites the few documented numbers of larks sold in market in the early 19 th century (826, 462 in the Paris market in 1832). And, that just isn’t documented in scientific papers. Birds and People is an exceptional book.

Assorted Galliformes: One of the bird-human interactions that tends to produce a lot of common names is hunting, and names bestowed by hunters will tend to focus on traits important to hunters: how do you find it, where do you find it, and how does it taste? These are just a handful of the better-documented vernacular names.

I spent a lot of time with Efe Pygmy hunters in the deep forest, and I spent a certain amount of time either entirely alone or with only one other researcher, this or that American. Part of that research was to document human avoidance by ground mammals, and that was stark and apparent. My research in the Congo supports this idea.

Some remained stored for decades before a researcher would pick them up and inquired about these poorly documented specimens. These conditions offered easy access to hunters in a habitat where a bird as large as a Guan would have little chances to hide or scape.

A passion for one bird family is also very useful. Still, I would really love to see this in some form.

Latimer refers to his previous two posts where he has "documented the ethical and moral shallowness of the 'animal rights' credo itself, which is based more on an anti-human self hatred, taking the form of a 'moral' squeamishness concerned more with stamping out human 'cruelty,' no matter what the social or economic costs might be.

That’s about all you can say when faced with pretty clear documentation of North Carolina’s first Violet-green Swallow that you’ve missed by less than 270 seconds. That’s a skill as much as recognizing vagrant peeps or putting a name to non-vocalizing Empids, and one under-rated by some would-be vagrant hunters.

Animal Ethics

DECEMBER 23, 2006

The point is that even hunters seem to think that they need a reason to justify killing these animals. You don't find many hunters who candidly and unapologetically say: "I hunt because I like to kill. Of course, when hamburgers aren't at stake, most of us think that it would be morally wrong to kill an animal for no good reason.
