10,000 Birds

OCTOBER 27, 2011

This weekend was meant to draw kids into the Hamburg, PA Cabela’s to experience birds in a up-close and personal kind of way. Adrian Binns ( Nikon Birding ProStaff and Wildside Nature Tours ) brought up two vans of children from the Philadelphia area for a chance to experience all of the activities and be filmed on camera.

Animal Ethics

DECEMBER 23, 2006

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. For example, the famous Framingham heart study has been tracking the daily living and eating habits of thousands of residents of Framingham, Massachusetts since 1948.
