• Ethiopian wolves on the hunt February 4, 2012
  I love watching these things stalk. Source. I call these wolves the Farley Mowat wolves, because they actually do live on rodents. Contrary to what this documentary says, these wolves are actually more distantly related to the wolf and dog species than the golden jackal is. The initial mtDNA study on Ethiopian wolves suggested that they were recent derivativ […]

• How wolves increased biodiversity in Yellowstone February 4, 2012
  Source. This video mentions something really important. It’s called the ecology of fear hypothesis. In this hypothesis, fear plays the vital role. If a prey animal has to be afraid of a predator in a certain area, its behavior will change. This is perhaps best described in study that examined the role coyotes play in keeping domestic cats out of areas where […]

Stuff like toys, leashes, harnesses, etc. is included since I don't plan on leavi […]

Roberto writes:"... the Harris [and] the red/ ferr. were pla […]

• Horse slaughter and puppy mills February 3, 2012
  "Slaughter has become the garbage can for the performance horse industry." --Patricia Hogan, VMD, ACVSI'm not sure if I've made my position clear, but I'm not against the killing of horses, per se. Not against people who eat horse meat. Not against rendering plants that turn horses into dog food, glue, and leather. Nor zoos and big c […]
