Making A Living In The Amazon
They practiced a kind of agriculture called slash and burn. Would you like to learn more about the crops or animals that you d eat in the Amazon?
http://www.eduweb.com/agriculture/ag1.html

Extractions: Making a Living Indigenous peoples have lived in the Amazon for thousands of years. For most of that time, they hunted, fished, and grew a variety of crops in small gardens. Their lifestyle was called subsistence, because they hunted and grew only what they needed to subsist, or survive. They practiced a kind of agriculture called slash and burn. Slash and burn sounds terribly hard on the environment, but if done properly it is one of the most ecologically harmonious methods of cultivation. Farmers clear the land by slashing the trees and bushes, then burning them to release nutrients into the soil. They grow crops in the new field for a few years, then clear another plot of land to plant. Later, they will return and clear an old field, now covered with the young trees of a secondary forest. In the Ecuadorian Amazon, indigenous Quichua people often rotate their crops every year. That way their crops always have rich soil. Also, after a year in cultivation, a field becomes overgrown with weeds. Watch the animation below to see how a Quichua farmer might rotate his crops over the years to ensure good yields on his land. Each year he clears and plants a new section of land, leaving the old section to regrow as secondary forest.

Extractions: Chronic Wasting Disease Chronic Wasting Disease In Domesticated Elk The Colorado Department of Agriculture has taken strong preventative measures to protect Colorado's domesticated deer and elk populations from chronic wasting disease. To date, five states have diagnosed CWD in captive elk herds. They are Colorado, Nebraska, Montana, Oklahoma and South Dakota. Canadian farms in Saskatchewan province currently number 18 farms, which have had cases of CWD. Elk movements are blamed for the CWD extension into captive elk herds. CWD Specimen Collection Practitioners that collect elk CWD specimens must include all ID with the specimen, producers name, address, and phone number. The absence of this information prevents the producer from being credited for the their submissions and assuring that there is a chain of custody. When possible the ears should be submitted with the ID intact with the obex or brain specimen. Upon request, personnel from the State Veterinarians Office will provide regional CWD specimen collection and preservation training for veterinarians. Generally, two to three week notices will be required prior to a training session. Please, contact the State Veterinarians Office at (303) 239-4161.

S Agriculture Agriculture is the process of producing food, feed, fiber and other desired products by cultivation of certain plants and the raising of domesticated animals. Agriculture is also known as farming Agriculture includes both subsistence agriculture, which is producing enough food to meet the needs of the farmer and family (but no more), and also (almost universally in the "developed" nations and increasingly so in other areas) the production of financial income from cultivation of the land or commercial raising of animals (animal husbandry). Agriculture is the practice the study of these disciplines is called agricultural science.

Extractions: West Nile Virus in Animals Facts: The West Nile Virus (WNV) first appeared in the United States in 1999, when tests confirmed that a number of wild birds in the New York City area had been carriers of the virus. Since then, WNV has spread across the continental United States, with only 2 states not reporting WNV activity in 2003 What species are affected by WNV? Humans, equidae and wild birds are most commonly affected by WNV. There have been a few confirmed cases in livestock in the United States. Dogs and Cats: West Nile virus does not appear to cause extensive illness in dogs or cats. There is a single published report of WN virus isolated from a dog in southern Africa (Botswana) in 1982. West Nile virus was isolated from a single dead cat in 1999. A serosurvey in New York City of dogs in the 1999 epidemic area indicated that dogs are frequently infected. There has been one documented case of an 8 year dog in Illinois that was linked positively to WNV but there were laboratory findings indicative of a potential immune compromising infection. There is no documented evidence of person-to-person or animal-to-person transmission of WN virus. Because WN virus is transmitted by infectious mosquitoes, dogs or cats could be exposed to the virus in the same way humans become infected. Veterinarians should take normal infection control precautions when caring for an animal suspected to have this or any viral infection. It is possible that dogs and cats could become infected by eating dead infected animals such as birds, but this is undocumented.
Animal Protection Institute - Animals Used In Agriculture
animals Used in agriculture. Please address comments and requests for further information on animals used in agriculture to Monica Engebretson at API.
http://www.api4animals.org/60.htm

Extractions: Every year billions of animals are raised and killed for human consumption. Unlike family farms of the past, today's farms are increasingly changing to high-production factory farms. Factory farming consist of confining animals in extremely small spaces so that farmers can maximize production. Overcrowding breeds disease so animals are routinely sprayed with pesticides and fed antibiotics. Animals are also fed growth hormones to enhance productivity. These chemicals, antibiotics and hormones are passed on to the environment and to the consumers of meat products. Like all animals, farm animals have the ability to experience pleasure and pain. Unfortunately, farm animals endure tremendous amount of pain and suffering unnecessarily for human use and consumption. API is currently working to increase public awareness about the plight of animals used in agriculture, and API supports and encourages legislation aimed at protecting farm animals and promotes a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle as a means to benefit human health, the environment and animals. Factory Farmed Animals Very few legal protections exist for farm animals. The federal Animal Welfare Act does not apply to animals used in agriculture and 30 states have enacted laws that specifically exempt farm animals from portions of state anti-cruelty statues. The Humane Slaughter Act requires that all animals slaughtered in federally inspected meat processing plants to be rendered unconscious to the process of slaughter. However, this law is poorly enforced and does not cover chickens and turkeys nor does it cover kosher, ritual, or home slaughter.

Extractions: Legal Protections for Companion Animals and Animals in Agriculture, Entertainment, and Research Domestic animals suffer cruelty and abuse all too frequently. Often unreported, animal cruelty has many causes, ranging from ignorance to outright viciousness. Public education is the primary means of preventing animal abuse. But when education fails, the legal process can be an effective tool. Many times the act of prosecuting an abusive individual will motivate them to adhere to humane principles they have previously ignored. Before this can be accomplished, however, animal advocates need to know what acts are illegal under current laws. This fact sheet covers some of the more important animal welfare laws at various governmental levels. Local Animal Laws State Animal Laws Since Massachusetts passed the first animal cruelty law in 1835, every state has passed laws to protect animals from abuse. Every state also has its own humane groups and organizations, both local and national in scope, which help propose new and amended legislation to improve existing laws. As might be expected, each state also varies in the wording of those laws and the extent to which they protect animals from harm. Taking the lead, some states have upgraded their laws to make cruelty either a misdemeanor (in the case of simple neglect) or a felony (when actions intentionally inflict pain or torture on an animal). Twenty-eight states now have laws with felony provisions for some form of cruelty. In other states cruelty remains a misdemeanor, but with varying degrees of seriousness and punishment.

Extractions: Since 1950 nearly 500 of the more than 1 400 plant species in the Netherlands have decreased in number, and more than 40 died out. During the same period the number of species of breeding birds has fallen by a third. The total area of plant and animal habitat is diminishing and fragmentation and isolation as a result of urbanization and expanding infrastructure endanger the survival of wildlife and plants; the deterioration of soil, water and air quality only adds to this. The government aims at the sustainable conservation, restoration and development of nature and landscape. Of paramount importance is the national ecological network, composed of core areas, nature development areas and ecological corridors. When fully developed, the network is to ensure the survival of plants and animals nationally and internationally.
