Extractions: All of the photographs and video used in the campaign have been collected by CAPS during the past twelve months making it extremely representative of the UK zoo industry at present. All MPs have been sent a copy of the video and we are receiving positive responses, including a request from an MP to mail the video to every member of the Scottish Parliament - this we are proceeding with. The video and accompanying information is also being offered free to all schools. Remember: Zoos will close once people stop paying to see animals incarcerated. Zoo Protests On August Bank Holiday Monday, thousands of CAPS leaflets were distributed outside zoos throughout the country. London Animal Action organised a particularly good turnout of up to 100 people outside London Zoo. In addition to the new CAPS leaflet, they distributed their own specifically on London Zoo.

Extractions: E-mail this story SAN FRANCISCO Following the death of two elephants within two months of each other at the San Francisco Zoo, city Supervisor Fiona Ma is calling for the transfer of the two remaining elephants to an accredited sanctuary. The zoo has drawn criticism from animal rights groups, and now politicians, after two of their four elephants, Calle and Maybelle, died. Calle, a 37-year-old Asian Elephant, was euthanized because of physical ailments on March 7. Maybelle, a 43-year-oldAfrican elephant, died of apparent heart failure last week. "It is in the best interest of the elephants to be relocated to a credible sanctuary where they will have the company of other elephants," Ma said.

Opinions - Funny or not? http://64.252.62.40/RacistFox.jpg The Dome heh :) notfunnyanymore Oh man, that's funny! Shiftlock Maybe I should explain the sign... There was a part of the zoo with farm animals - ducks, geese, goats, etc. - and they sold little bags of "animal feed crackers" to give them. Obviously they didn't want people feeding the crackers to the other animals. guitarzan :D Funny... did you give it a cracker? elouise I suppose it depends where you come from, what's a cracker? (apart from a savoury biscuit) guitarzan derogatory slang for a white person. Kinda like: honky, redneck, peckerwood.. Mike of SI IHMO: If the first sign was not there, the cracker sign could only be taken one way.

Extractions: Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority The Australian continent is a land unlike any other. Its animals, plants and landscapes are the consequences of a slow and lengthy geological process. Estimates put the number of species in Australia at more than one million - with a high proportion occurring only in Australia. Between 55 and 10 million years ago, Australia's continental plate drifted away from Antarctica towards the equator. This journey isolated Australian life forms, presenting them with particular challenges that provided them with a unique evolutionary process. Australia's landscapes are ancient. The Australian patchwork of different plant alliances growing together provides for survival in different types of soil and extremes of climate. These alliances have provided opportunities for new species of animals to evolve and survive.

Hounding The Tiger a fact that tigers seldom breed normally in zoos. a haven for old, infirm and orphanedwild animals. areas of our protected areas (sanctuaries, biospheres etc http://www.wildlywise.com/contrib_pat_hnd_tgrs.htm
Extractions: This question started nagging me a couple of years back. Infact it was during my visit to Ranthambore Wildlife Sanctuary, just prior to Bill Clinton's visit. During my visit I witnessed a BBC documentary film team in action. With the full cooperation of the park authorities they had taken over all the spots that tigers were likely to frequent. They were equipped with jeeps, expert guides and sophisticated communication equipment. When a tiger was spotted the word spread and everyone, including the assorted tourists, zeroed on to the poor creature. The lord of the jungle was instantly converted into a circus animal ! If this was the scenario during a routine filming assignment, then one can well imagine the 'tamasha' that took place before and during Clinton's visit. Little wonder that the VIP tiger vanished thereafter!? More well known people and organisations have made their money and reputations on the blood of the tiger rather than contributed to it's survival. While enhancing their own reputations, the resulting publicity has created a market for the tiger and it's products. Infact, mafias have got involved in the wildlife trade and poaching has increased all over the world. Let us look at some of the other negative aspects of such exploitation of the tiger:
Wildlife Photographers Guide - II from shooting pictures of animals in zoos for the with wildlife outside of wildlifesanctuaries, national parks Animals in these areas have grown accustomed to http://www.wildlywise.com/pht_guide2.htm
Extractions: Let's move on for those of you who have now decided to try your hand at it. The first questions most people ask are about equipment and technique. Equipment and technique are obviously important but there are a few things that are equally or maybe more important. These are development of your mindset and skills other than your photographic ones. You have to, if you don't already, start understanding the environment and start learning to look after it. You have to feel that the environment and it's animals are a part of your family. You have to care for it and protect it. Whether you realize it or not but this attachment shows in your work. A lot of people take this in the wrong way. This does not mean that you will have done a good deed by saving a prey from a predator. Another reason for sending the spectator to the grave is because as a wildlife photographer you will have to slowly learn to predict the unpredictability of wild animals. You have to make a database in your mind of things like expressions that always precede some action. An example of this is the way a tiger's eyes become amazingly focused, ears get drawn back and movements are extremely basic just before it plans to charge. In such a situation, unless you're extremely sure about your safety, it's time to get out of there. It would be better to live to shoot another day than to die shooting maybe an out of focus shot!
