From Owls in the Family to Wesley the Owl , the narrative in which a human interacts with another species and learns a bit about life along the way has long been a popular and affecting one. The extremely short chapters, four or five paragraphs in length, don’t really allow for the development of more complex themes.

Fortunately, I am talking about Tree Swallows battling for nest boxes at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge: if this post were about people I probably would have taken a stray bullet trying to report the story, at least, I would have if people fought over housing like Tree Swallows do! How intense is the competition?

We humans often understand things by exploring their relationships. Finches didn’t make it across Wallace’s Line into Australasia until humans helped them along, but they did accomplish at least one remarkable transoceanic voyage on their own. More on that in a moment. And back to finches. But not all.

There's a stray dog problem in San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico. But there are animal rights activists in Mexico that will hopefully take notice and try to establish some kind of long-term and humane solution. There are about 70,000 stray dogs roaming San Luis Rio Colorado in northern Mexico. The solution? Sarcasm there of course.

The park was created as much to protect the local communities from marauding elephants with a hatred of dangerous humans and a lack of interest in the differences between nations as it was to protect the elephants.

Some time ago a neighborhood stray cat came to the yard to have her kittens. So here is a bit of a reminder to please spay and neuter your pets… it’s so sad that these gorgeous kittens won’t know the fun of having a human servant! Sadly, shelters and rescues are full of cats and are already full.

I’d been volunteering at rescues through my young adulthood, and I was training as a cat socializer, teaching terrified felines — the unlucky victims of cruel people — to trust humans again. day, I had come home to a scraggy, skittish stray of my own.

My human kept me in an enclosed porch because, let’s face it, I was crawling with fleas and pretty filthy. We dogs are wired by nature to be humans’ companions. After all, dogs have the longest history of co-habitation with humans of any animal. But there’s a special bond between a dog and its human rescuer.

But if a video must be made (and I realize this video wasn't made in the US, but we have the same issues here) to get people thinking about stray dogs as deserving of a life free of persecution and suffering at the hands of others, what hope is there for cows and other animals we have deemed "food?".

If you aren’t careful, you may very well cause a fatal accident to your pet, your neighbor’s pet or a stray. Unlike humans, pets do not regulate their body temperature via sweating—they lose most of their heat through their footpads. All too often pets (especially cats) like to hide underneath cars to seek some warmth.

Generalizing from a handful of ignorant vegans to the entire vegan population does a disservice to those of us who have spent years educating ourselves on human nutritional needs and how to meet them on a plant-based diet. It’s appalling that anyone would think that a diet based on a dubious morality would build a human infant.

Of the estimated 500 million cattle in India, only 4% were destined for consumption by humans as meat. The disappearance of vultures has allowed other species such as rat and [stray] dog populations to grow. Oddly, I saw no rats, only a mongoose or two and a few stray dogs.

For Engber, who dispassionately describes procedures most of the time, the "advances" in the medical care of humans are all well worth what he and other vivisectionists do to dogs and other sentient nonhumans. By the end of my time as researcher, I was performing behavioral experiments on humans. It "guarantees humane treatment?"
