WELFARE ASPECTS OF KILLING WILD ANIMALS IN BRITAIN Home Page A Message from the Chair The Hawk Board ... DEFRA and MAFF An investigation on behalf of the Hawk Board into the nature and extent of suffering caused by current methods of pest control and field sports. Nick Fox, PhD, BSc, B.Ed Helen Macdonald BA, MA CONTENTS Introduction What is 'suffering'? What is 'cruelty'? The demographics of killing wildlife ... Figure 1: Percentage volume of animals killed by the different methods Introduction Wildlife welfare is a young science and the difficulties and pitfalls in interpreting data are tremendous. This study paints a broad brush picture of wildlife welfare in the way we use and manage our wildlife as a resource and attempts a broad cost benefit analysis of the different aspects. It is a primer for those needing a perspective on the issues, a pointer for where future research efforts are needed and a plea for legislators to use a sound scientific approach rather than an emotional one to these complex wildlife management issues. The first edition of this study appeared in April 1995. Since then I have had much feedback and additional data, and scientists, such as Professor Patrick Bateson, have made further efforts to measure suffering in wildlife management.

Humane Education Children'sBook Bibliography Things That Kids Can Do To Help ***DO SOMETHING NICE FOR THE WILD ANIMALS OUTSIDE YOUR HOME*** First, keep your cat indoors, unless she is on a leash and harness and you are there to supervise. Let part of your backyard grow wild with weeds and brush and tall grass. Animals love to hide and build houses in wild brush and grass. Plant a tree in your backyard with your parents. One tree can provide a home for lots of animals like birds, raccoons, squirrels and bats. Put some dead wood, like old tree stumps and branches in your yard. More than 150 species of birds and other animals can live in dead trees and logs and feed off the insects there. Plant some raspberry, blueberry and blackberry patches for animals. Leave mole hills, ant hills and bee nests alone. Never carelessly turn over logs or rocks. There is a whole universe living there. Put out a bird feeder. You can even make one using pine cones and peanut butter. Spread peanut butter all over the pine cones, then dip the pine cones in birdseed and hang them on trees with some yarn. Just remember that if you start feeding the birds they will begin to expect food. If you forget to feed them during the winter they will get very hungry. They need to eat a lot of food often in the cold weather, so keep the feeders full.

Introduction Care of Game and Fish Aging Game ... More Information The most succulent wild game can be destroyed by improper handling in the field or improper cooking at home. The handling of the meat from harvesting to preparing can make a major difference in flavor and safety of the end product. The purpose of this publication is to provide information on proper care and cookery of wild game so you can fully enjoy the fruits of the field. Undesirable strong flavors in the meat can be due to inadequate bleeding, delay or carelessness in dressing or failure to cool the carcass promptly. Occasionally, the diet of the animal will affect the flavor. Generally, game animals are cleaned and butchered in the same manner as domestic animals. However, one must remove mutilated and bloodshot areas as well as bullets and shotgun pellets. Remember, the flavor of wild game meat, when handled properly, is delicious and characteristically unique to the species. Venison and antelope taste as different from one another as beef and pork.

Backyard Wildlife Habitats For Birds, Butterflies, Small Animals And Other Wild is a pleasure to see the beautiful birds, butterflies and other wild animals in your ingredientsfor a backyard wildlife habitat are food, water, shelter and http://www.family-friendly-fun.com/nature/wildlife/wildlife.htm

Starting a backyard wildlife habitat is not difficult and is very rewarding. It is a pleasure to see the beautiful birds, butterflies and other wild animals in your backyard. Also, as more land is consumed by industry, highways and other "development", our friends need to find new homes. You can help by creating a home in your own backyard. The essential ingredients for a backyard wildlife habitat are: food, water, shelter and places to raise young. Food: Shrubs and trees provide fruits and seeds throughout the year. Some good choices are sweetgum, blueberry, sumac, bayberry, holly, viburnum, cotoneaster, and crabapple. Perennials and annuals are planted to provide nectar for both butterflies and hummingbirds. Hummingbirds visit bee balm, pineapple sage, wild columbine, cardinal flower, and trumpet honeysuckle. Butterflies enjoy butterfly weed, butterfly bush, lantana, purpleconeflower, garden phlox, zinnias, and Mexican sunflower. Supplemental feeders provide nectar for hummingbirds in the summer months and provide a variety of seed (sunflower, niger, safflower, and millet) for birds throughout the year. Water: A pedestal-mounted bird bath provides water and cools the birds in the hot summer months. A small shallow water dish provides water for drinking and bathing. Placed on the ground, this simple bird bath also provides water for mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. Small ponds, easily constructed in most home landscapes, provide an aquatic home for dragonflies, fish, newts, frogs, and other aquatic life. A thermostatically controlled bird bath heater provides water during subfreezing weather when the need for water is critical for a backyard habitat for birds.

But these large reptiles, once mercilessly hunted, are now protected and should be respected as belonging there. They are now regularly caught in Darwin harbour and released in the wild, or end up in the crocodile farm. The Freshwater Crocodile, in contrast, is quite harmless, as is the Carpet Snake and the goanna (monitor lizard), the latter two prized as food by Aborigines. The water buffalo, once introduced from Indonesia, is considered a pest as it degrades the environment; brought under control and herded into cattle pens, they now appear on the menu in Darwin restaurants.

Fossil records suggest that the elephant has some unlikely distant relatives, namely the small, rodentlike hyrax and the ungainly aquatic dugong. They all are thought to have evolved from a common stock related to ungulates. In East Africa many well-preserved fossil remains of earlier elephants have aided scientists in dating the archaeological sites of prehistoric man. The African elephant is the largest living land mammal, one of the most impressive animals on earth.

It was considered a female deity of pregnancy in ancient Egypt, but in modern times has been wiped out of that country because of the damage it inflicts on crops. The hippo continues to thrive in other parts of Africa. The hippo's proportions reflect its sedentary, amphibious existence. Its plump and bulky body is set on short, stumpy legs, with each foot having four toes. Although webbed, the toes splay enough to distribute the weight evenly over each toe and therefore adequately support the hippo on land.

Home Page Wild Wetland Web Team consists of four classrooms, a total of forty-four 2nd graders and forty-four 5th graders, who teamed up to study the Delta Pond wetland. The Delta Ponds, off Delta Highway in Eugene, Oregon, are within a five minute car ride from Corridor school. The 85 acre site is the remnants of an old gravel mining operation that was purchased by the City of Eugene in 1979 as part of its Willamette River Greenway park system. This habitat includes an open water wetland, and it is home to many wetland species, including the endangered Western Pond Turtle. The students visit the site two times a year, once in the fall and again in the spring. While working in small integrated groups, they collect and analyze data in five different areas: birds and animals, plants, water insects, water quality and soil. The fifth graders are teamed with the second graders to assist them in their data collection. Then the students organize their information into the charts, graphs, pictures, movies and written descriptions that are presented on this web site. This data is then uploaded onto the Globe Website, a worldwide network of students, teachers, and scientists working together to study and understand the global environment. Students and teachers from over 9800 schools in more than 95 countries are working with research scientists to learn more about our planet.

HGIC 3516 http://hgic.clemson.edu Safe Handling of Wild Game Meats Abide by game regulations for hunting, transporting and storing game. CARE IN THE FIELD Be Prepared for the Hunt: Remember to bring a sharp hunting knife, a small hatchet, a whetstone or steel, about 12 feet of light rope or nylon cord, plastic bags, and clean cloths or paper towels. Other essentials include proper clothing, binoculars, a canteen of fresh water, a compass, a map and matches. In warm weather you may want to bring a can of ground pepper and some cheesecloth. The carcass may be sprinkled with pepper and covered with cheesecloth to repel flies. Bleeding the Animal: Bleed, dress and cool the carcass promptly. When animals have been shot in the ribs, internal bleeding into the chest cavity may be enough. Most other shots take additional bleeding. Some hunters use a hunting knife to stick the carcass by severing the large blood vessel leading to the heart. Proper bleeding improves keeping qualities and appearance of the meat. If the animal is a trophy buck that you plan to mount, do not sever its throat, because this will cause problems during mounting.

But NOT Your Home Almost everyone loves animals! And why not? Having wildlife around adds so much to our lives-color, beauty, excitement, and laughter. Some people think that the best way to enjoy wildlife is to keep wild animals as pets. But we have to ask ourselves an important question: Best for whom? Certainly not for the wild animal, although at first it might seem otherwise. After all, we would provide our pet with all the food and water it needs, a safe and warm place to live, and lots of love. But let's try to look at it from the animal's point of view. Try to imagine that you are a small bird or a raccoon or a lizard. There you are, minding your own business, when suddenly a human hand swoops down and carries you away. Sure, its just a hand, but you probably think you've been captured by a monster! Who is going to eat you! Imagine how terrified you would be at that moment. Well, the monster doesn't eat you, at least not yet. But it's definitely carrying you off. Away from your mom, if you are still a baby, or away from your mate and your children. You are taken into a strange place where you can no longer see the sky. You are surrounded by strange smells and sounds. Then you are placed inside a cage. This is like nothing you've every experienced before! In fear, you might try to fight your way out of the cage, and hurt yourself in the process. Or you might just give up and try to disappear by being very still and quiet. Unfortunately, the monster might interpret your stillness as contentment, and think you are happy to have been caught and placed inside a cage.
