This is bad news for Northern Cardinals and European Robins but perhaps good news for humans suffering from eye trouble, as the research may lead to a better understanding of what causes cataracts.
Researchers studying the Fork-tailed Drongo (like the one above spotted by Redgannet) found that these birds essentially “cry wolf” to steal the food of others. Animal and bird rehabbers are awesome people, but even they suffer the occasional bad apple— in this case, really bad. Not a fan, however: some inmates on Death Row in Ohio.
Over $100 million went to medical research while about $1 million went to animal welfare causes. But a group of trustees got together, determined she was mentally unfit at the time, and decided to “responsibly” donate to medical research instead. It’s more money for medical research. To human causes. I think that just sucks.
President Obama promised to eliminate wasteful government spending; funding for animal research is one area that is overdue for reform. Each year, millions of cats, dogs, non-human primates and other animals suffer and die in research laboratories. Tags: animal research Obama. Please do not advertise to sell your pets.
I live in Seattle and, while I don't always agree with PETA, I hate the UW's animal research practices. I don't believe these animals get the quality of care they deserve for the suffering they undergo. You have to objectify them and they suffer for it. I'm glad PETA is drawing attention to this issue.
We will increase our level of tactics as long as non-human primates and other animals are tortured to death at the hands of those driven by profit and as long as the University of California shows a complete disregard for the suffering of the non-human prisoners. Now this war has two sides,"
. “I am not bad-looking, I am just badly photographed”: A Bay Woodpecker (Fraser’s Hill, Malaysia) using a joke from “Roger Rabbit” The pinkish eyerings of the Brown-capped Pygmy Woodpecker (Tansa, India) make it look as if it is constantly suffering from a hangover.
Though all birds will be somehow impacted by climate change, I think it is important to note that not all will suffer. High elevation species will surely suffer from shifting and reduced habitat, and that process seems to have started already. Will early-arriving birds suffer from having to endure late winter storms?
However, ongoing research at Sia Essential Species Repository (see below) reveals this is not always the case, and that there are actually five phases between albino and leucistic. Leucism, however, is the result of reduced coloration of all types of skin pigments, which sometimes leads to mottled coloring and patches of white.
Unfortunately, no one knows for sure, despite constant research.

Now, it looks like we may be contributing to individual suffering as well. Overfishing, poor resource management, the view of life as a product for sale, and pure greed is crashing fisheries and destroying beautiful ecosystems.
Crowded and filthy conditions mean suffering for hens. How much suffering can and should they endure without significantly affecting the human pocketbook. It's a study funded by the US Department of Agriculture. One would think it would be elementary. But it's not just about the hens.it's about the money. Or corporate net income.
” A group of nine researchers published a paper titled “Exploring the fecal microbiome of the Eurasian Nuthatch (Sitta europaea)” Makes you wonder what they talked about during their lunch breaks. .” Bad news for splitters, but good news for people like me who would not be able to make such a fine distinction anyway.
Think twice, and do some research. Wildlife rehabilitators constantly receive lost racing pigeons who are starving, riddled with lice, and suffering from coccidia, trichinosis, or worms. Thinking of releasing white doves to commemorate your wedding or the memorial of a loved one? Where do they go after they fly away?
CESAR had alleged that Dr. Zink would suffer professional and reputational injuries because FWS rejected his research, but the court found that inadequate. “Standing” is a legal doctrine that requires a plaintiff to have a personal stake in the outcome of the controversy, as required by Article III of the Constitution.
I don't care if they're supposedly working for altruistic purposes (they're not, but that's another story), they are allowing animals to suffer through negligent care separate from the excruciating experiments they must still undergo. The public doesn't want animals to suffer gratuitously in research laboratories," said Martin Stephens, Ph.D.,
Her letter to the Indian research facility is pretty distressing. Former Baywatch star and model Pamela Anderson has accused one of India's most prestigious research centres of animal cruelty, urging it to retire decades-old test monkeys and adopt humane practices. Sounds like she watched a harsh video.
I was doing my thesis research at the time, and it even affected what I was doing, as the wild world was being reconceptualized in terms of tannins and alkaloids, seed edators and dispersers, and so on. The next stage in this research is obvious. If there is such a thing as wild tobacco. Suarez-Rodriguez, M.,
Nice article about people who are committed to defending "lab rats" used for medical research. You see people shut down if you talk about how a rat can suffer," says Chad Sandusky, director of toxicology and research at the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a group that fights for animal rights and advocates vegetarianism.
(SAEN) is calling for an investigation of Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research in San Antonio, TX. Tags: animal research primates Texas. Documents show discrepancies in reporting to two different regulatory agencies, suggesting fraud within the lab, SAEN claims.

It was an "experiment" you see, even though they are just Animal Control, not a research facility. The temperature did not exceed 86 degrees, the dog was closely monitored and suffered no ill affects, they said. How should Animal Control evaluate their claim? Stick another dog in the same situation and see if it dies too!
