WILDLIFE AND WELFARE





The non human animals we share the world with are all around us captive in zoos and amusement parks, fringe specialists in our urban or suburban interfaces such as deer, raccoons or feral cats or those that remain in the wild. Explore how the behavior of human and non human animals impact on each other and the world.


A brief history of rabies in NYC raccoons and my interview with the city on the Health Department's plans to control it (more).


Raccoons and rabies, the basics: learn the facts about rabies, the history of the disease and what it looks like in animals (more).


A raccoon primer for the city dweller: discover more about the behavior and history of this clever animal, now very much a part of our urban wildlife (more).


The bird window collision dilemma: After loss of habitat, fatal collisions with windows are the second largest cause of avian mortality. Why it happens and how to start thinking about how to help (more).


NYC implements plans to exterminate area geese, are there alternatives? What are the humane animal control options and are they being considered? (more)


Avoid deer vehicle collisions during hunting and mating seasons: With more deer on our roadways know how to best avoid them while driving (more).


Winter means hungry birds and squirrels: Severe weather brings out more than just birds foraging in search of food (more).


(Continues Below)













The signs say "don't feed the birds," the birds say "please do" because of us: People feed urban wildlife mostly to get close to them. What concerns are there? And what do the behaviors of the people and the animals at urban parks in London and New York reveal? (more).


Limiting bird strikes at airports with falconry and habitat management: The use of raptors, long grass policy and effective scare techniques negate marksmen efforts (more).


Parrots please! Quaker parrots or monk parakeets have established colonies in the tri-state area. Let’s keep this introduced species (coming soon).


Avian imitation, dancing and playing in parrots: Researchers measure imitation and dancing in these avian primates but what about play? (more)


Liabilities in working with captive Orcas: There are inherent liabilities in training large captive animals for them and us (coming soon).


Sharkwater: the other side of the ocean: expose of the growing danger and inhumane practice of shark finning (coming soon).


A fundamental definition of animal welfare: welfare is how the animals experiences their world but what exactly does that mean? (coming soon)


Can we really understand animals? With such different ways of experiencing the world, how can we begin to understand another species? (coming soon)


Studying Animal Communication-a one way street? We often study the capacity of non human animals to understand human language but do we understand what they are saying back? (more)


Understanding and accomplishing animal welfare means studying animal behavior, animal welfare science and training the people who work directly with animals appropriately, a review and a proposal (more).


Some animals are not more equal than others: Why farm animals are exempted from animal cruelty laws and why thinking about humane slaughter should be on every locavore menu (more).


A jungle rehab diary: Want to know what it would be like to live and work at a wildlife rehabilitation and rescue center in Guatemala? Work with native species like macaws, parrots, spider monkeys, jaguars rescued from poachers or abandoned. Is the rugged life for you? (coming soon)
