Extractions: Wild Cat Conservation In the 1970's the Indian government aided by the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) and the IUCN (World Conservation Union), initialized Project Tiger with the opening of nine tiger reserves. Today, the number of tiger reserves in India has risen to over twenty and their success has meant that, not only has the Indian tiger population stabilized, but also many new insights have been gained into the nature of the tiger in the wild. However poaching and the erosion of the surrounding habitat still endangers the Indian Tiger and as in other conservation areas and reserves, confrontation between local inhabitants and conservationists regarding the threat to domestic livestock and man himself still remains a problem to be resolved. For further background information on Project Tiger visit the The Arjan Singh Foundation The International Snow Leopard Trust is actively involved in the conservation of the snow leopard and its mountain habitat. The International Snow Leopard Trust was established in 1981 and works within Central Asia helping to promote conservation projects within local communities where snow leopards are often killed in retaliation livestock predation and where hunting of the mountain cat for its fur, bones and organs, used in many traditional medicines, is common place. Founded by Dr. Maurice Hornocker, our Institute conducts long-term research on threatened species and sensitive ecological systems. Through observation and exploration we provide a framework for satisfying a universal curiosity about the nature of wildlife and the effects of humans on the natural environment.
LIOC-ESCF : About Us : History to hinder sales of captive bred endangered species, LIOC members continued to breedtheir felines. Kindt reported the birth of Golden (cats) and jaguarundis http://www.lioc.org/AboutUs/History.html
Extractions: The History of LIOC - Back in the 1950's, ocelots and margays were commonly sold in retail pet stores. People who knew nothing about the proper care and feeding of these non-domestic cousins to the domestic cat, sold them to others who were equally ignorant of their special dietary and environmental needs. This resulted in calcium deficiencies, intestinal blockages, unnecessary canine teeth removals, and worse. Something had to be done and Catherine Cisin, a caring lady from, NewYork, was the woman to do it. She formed the Long Island Ocelot Club, and designed it to be a clearing house of husbandry information. Early LIOC newsletters depict an era long past. Back then, most ocelots and margays were jungle caught, and legally imported into America as kittens. The majority were a by-product of the fur trade, and the mortality rate was 50%. If left when their mother's were killed for their pelts, all would have perished. Captive-breeding was in its infancy, a trial-and-error learning process. In the November 1959 LIOC Newsletter, Lillian Ward of California, shared the news of a pair of ocelots expecting the birth of their third litter in as many years. Her first litter a male ocelot was born December 1957 and twin ocelots were born in November 1958.

Extractions: By Bryan J. Maloney What species, then, would better qualify as the "best friend" of humanity? Recent discoveries made by the humans leads one to believe that the "cat" (_felis catus_, L.) may better deserve this title. The reason for this conclusion is that humanity found itself confronted with a very perplexing and fatal medical disorder, which they named "AIDS" (although it only "aids" humans in their progress towards the grave). This syndrome was characterized in the early-to-middle 1980s ("AD" Terran annuation system) and was ultimately assigned to be an eventual result of a virus that was given the name "human immunodeficiency virus" or HIV. Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is the causative agent of a feline acquired immune deficiency syndrome (FAIDS) that was discovered in 1986 in southern California (Pedersen et al, 1987; Yamamoto et al, 1988). The associated infection tends to have a long asymptomatic seropositive stage followed by clinical illness. Clinical signs include fever, lymphadenopathy, diarrhea, wasting, opportunistic infection, neurological disorder, and neoplasia, especially lymphoma, myoproliferative disease, and various cytopenias including anemia, lymphopenia, and leukopenia (which may not be due to the activity of FIV alone) neoplasia, especially lymphoma and myoproliferative disease, (Hutson et al, 1991; Moraillon et al, 1992; Pedersen et al, 1989a, b; Shelton et al 1991). Neoplastic effects of HIV infection seem to be enhanced with concurrent FeLV infection (Hutson et al, 1991; Shelton et al 1991).

Extractions: Humans, the dominant species of the planet Sol III, Orion Arm, are remarkably less intelligent than their apparently ascendent status might lead one to believe. Take, for example the common human phrase "Dog is man's best friend." First, this phrase is quite misleading in its choice of words, as any rational reader would come to the conclusion that this "dog" ( canis domesticus L.) is somehow preferentially attracted to adult males of the human species. Nothing could be further from the truth, as "Man" in this case is meant to mean all members of the species homo sapiens regardless of their gender or age. The fact that humans seem not to be in the least bit perturbed by this linguistic blunder only underscores the species's general lack of good sense.

Extractions: I. GEOGRAPHIC RANGE II. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS Mass: 28 to 90 kg. These cats have an elongated and muscular body. Their paws are broad and their ears are short. In tropical regions their coats tend to be shorter and sleeker, whereas in colder climates their fur is longer and denser. The coloration varies from the color of straw to grayish to even chestnut. The backs of the ears are black except for a spot either located centrally or near the tips. These appear to other animals as eyes. The throat, chest, belly and the insides of the limbs are white. The rest of the head, throat, chest and limbs all have small black spots. The belly has larger black spots, almost like blotches. Region and habitat have an affect on the appearance of the leopard. In Africa, leopards living in hilly areas tend to be larger than those living in lowlands. There is a tendency to melanism, or black coloration, in this species. This characteristic is more frequent in densely forested areas where being darker is probably beneficial in remaining unseen as compared to open areas. Whether spotted or black, the leopard's coloration is extremely effective. Scientists have been unable to spot these cats just a few yards away even knowing that they were present.

Extractions: American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON Too many stray cats on base. What's a commander to do? Shoot them? Poison them? Bag them and dump them downtown? Hold on. Don't be too hasty. There are other options. The Armed Forces Pest Management Board advocates treating stray and feral cats humanely, according to Peter J. Egan, environmental biologist with the board at Walter Reed Army Medical Center here. That means no poison ever no leg traps and no shooting, except in dire situations. Most military installations have stray and feral cat populations, he said. Strays are lost or abandoned pets. Feral cats are those born in the wild and never domesticated.

Extractions: photograph by Gerald E. McLeod At the Texas Exotic Feline Foundation (TEFF) outside of Boyd in North Texas, one of the first things our guide told us was: "We exist here for the cats." The sanctuary is a retirement home for large cats that have been abandoned, neglected, or abused. Many of the animals are on the wildlife endangered or threatened list, and all of them are gorgeous creatures. There is a story in the eyes of every one of the 69 cats housed at the 28-acre facility less than an hour north of Fort Worth. "The cats come from every situation in the world, mostly bad," says Richard Gilbreth, director of the feline rescue facility that is considered the best of its kind in the U.S. "There are more tigers in Texas than people know what to do with," he says. "It's becoming an epidemic." In the wild the cats live about 10 years; in captivity the cats grow to several hundred pounds and live for about 20 years. Gilbreth says they have to turn away 100 to 150 cats a year. Most of the cats at TEFF were born and raised in the U.S. Ten years ago a lion or tiger cub sold for $8,000 to $15,000. "That eliminated a lot of people from the market," he says. Tempted by the prospects of selling two to four cubs a year, breeders jumped into the business. Soon prices dropped to $300 to $500 and the cats became an impulse purchase.

In America, there are 60 million cats gracing people with the privilege of their company. The newfound popularity of cats may be a result of society's changing lifestyles. People are busier than ever, and in most households both spouses work full time. While cats do require affection, they demand less attention than dogs, and are often happy on their own. Cats may become the ultimate pet for the information age. As we spend more of our time watching TV or surfing the Internet, a cat is perfectly content to just sit in your lap and sleep.
Extractions: you are here: Free-Market.Net Spotlight Regulatory Outrages: Federal phonies in feline fraud Federal phonies in feline fraud Reports that employees of the federal government and Washington state submitted bogus cat-hair samples to a laboratory sound like the usual public-sector shenanigans, but there's more at stake than usual. If successful, efforts by government workers to convince the world that the odd-looking Canadian lynx lives in places where it doesn't could have closed the phony feline habitat to many popular uses. Of course, the cat counters at the center of the controversy don't admit to any wrongdoing; they insist that they submitted the hair of critters in captivity as examples of animals in the wild to test the accuracy of the lab's DNA analysis. As excuses go, that's like explaining to a Secret Service agent that you passed funny money just to see if he was on the ball. Also impeaching the claims of innocence are the enormous implications of a successful scam. The Canadian lynx is classified as an endangered species in the United States; that means that areas in which the cats are found to live are objects of special scrutiny and restrictive regulation. Among the objectives cited under the Forest Service's " Lynx Conservation Assessment and Strategy " is: "Manage human activities to minimize impacts to lynx and lynx habitat." Achieving that goal involves plans to restrict grazing and such pastimes as skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling. Roads that provide access to lynx habitat are to receive minimal upkeep or even be closed.
