Wildlife Tips For Spring
by
Treehugr84@aol.com
Spring
has sprung, and it's time for wildlife birthing season. Often, nesting mothers bring conflicts with
mankind as man's growth drives these creatures to become "urban
wildlife." To help you and people
you know co-habitate with wildlife and solve wildlife problems humanely, the
rehabilitation center where I volunteer has compiled some "telephone
tips" that we encourage you to read and share with your friends.
Bunnies
- Orphaned or Kidnapped?
Bunnies'
nests are easily stumbled upon because they are often placed in open, grassy
areas or gardens. Bunnies are too
frequently mistaken for orphaned because Mother bunny is away from the nest
most of the time making the nest less conspicuous to predators. Also, she can give a possible predator a
"run" in the opposite direction.
If found alone, just place a light twig on top of the nest of bunnies. Check after dark and after dawn to see if it
has been disturbed. The same idea can
be used with flour. Dust the area
around the nest with flour, and see if any tracks can be viewed near the nest
after these times. Mother bunny only
visits the nest a couple times a day to feed.
Keep in mind the fast maturing pace of bunnies and that they leave the nest
not too long after 2 weeks of age. A
rule of thumb, "If you have to chase it down, leave it alone." The bunnies will be doing well on their own
at this point. Tragically, bunnies
don't rehabilitate well. Wild rabbits
do not make good pets. See if you can
replace the bunnies back into their nest.
Fawns
- Orphaned and Abandoned
Does
follow the same rule as mother bunny.
She knows her baby is less conspicuous if she isn't around. The first few days of life the fawn lies in
tall grass or brush designated by Mother doe as she goes off to forage. Newborns have no scent at all and can't be
traced by predators. Mother stands
still, as baby, while keeping eye contact, walks a few feet away from Mother
(and her scent), and lies down. When
Mother approves of the site, she goes off to forage. It's a little harder to determine if a fawn is truly
orphaned. Reminder! Mother doe can be potentially dangerous to
an observer. A doe found dead nearby
may cause reason for suspicions. A fawn
in the area displaying unusual behavior such as following you or your family
pet, or seen for a period of time crying and looking lost may be declared
orphaned.
Songbirds
*Advise
another time of the year besides spring to cut down any trees, especially
hollow ones
Always
reunite Baby bird with Mother bird.
When Baby bird is even partially feathered and fallen from the nest,
mother usually appreciates human intervention in replacing Baby into the nest,
even thought she seems irate during this procedure. If the nest isn't accessible, nailing or stapling a strawberry
box, shoebox, or margarine tub with bedding high into the same tree can create
a secondary nest. Mother can usually
cater to both nests. Observe from your
window to see that Mother is caring for both nests. It won't be long before the babies are flying, however, fostering
may be necessary for new hatchlings requiring constant incubation from Mother
if nest cannot be reached.
Bats
- Grounded
Occasionally
a bat is found struggling on the ground.
Though it appears to be injured, it really only needs to be
elevated. Because bats can't "lift
off" from the ground, placing a bat on a fence or tree limb usually solves
the problem immediately. Because bats
are potential rabies carries, you need to have the right equipment to do
this. Gloves and a hooded shield are
advised. You may be all right by just
using a stick or something, but don't touch the animal. Many times you cannot even feel it when a
bat bites.
Opossums
*Please
be informed that 50% of all dead opossums on the road in the spring have a
pouch full of babies. Though they
should keep a tight grip on mother's nipple inside the pouch, they can gently,
yet firmly, be pulled off.
Don't
be too eager to write one off as dead.
They have the real talent for "playing possum." Actually, in a panic everything shuts down;
even heart and respiration are slowed.
If the opossum is lying in a safe place (off the road) determine how
long you have observed the animal lying there.
Sometimes half an hour can result in a miraculous recovery. If you do check an opossum's pouch for
babies on the road, pull back the arch shaped flap of skin on the belly. Lift this up on all sides. The pouch is not like a pocket, like you
might imagine, but is more like a small drawstring bag that isn't completely
closed.
Wildlife
Nuisance Issues - Most common in nesting seasons
Evidence
of a raccoon, squirrel or opossum in an attic or under a home usually signals a
nesting mother. Man should not choose
destruction to this furry family. Maybe
it was man's responsibly to keep his home secure. Rather, turning on a light, mothballs, ammonia soaked rags, or a
loud radio may cause mother to voluntarily move her family. A little flour on a level surface will
display tracks of the animal's exits.
After thorough inspection, make necessary repairs.
Skunks
under a porch are a concern for many homeowners. Try to enjoy watching from a safe distance. It's only a matter of weeks before Mother
and her babies move on. Otherwise
mothballs and a radio may discourage them also. Skunks are not as dangerous as you might think. They do eat a lot of mice and insects and
usually give fair warning, by "dancing", before they spray. There are several products on the market
that can be purchased to discourage wildlife from roosting where you don't want
them to.
Other
Nuisance Issues
Always
try to get Mother wildlife mammal to move her family willingly. Trapping mother and transporting her and her
young to a new location usually doesn't take root. Mother, in panic, runs for her protection, and babies -- though
they might be crying loudly, are left abandoned. The babies must be watched
with protective eye so predators don't intercept. After several hours, babies are usually declared orphaned and
brought in for fostering.
Most
animal control or "critter control" do not use a humane method of
getting rid of the animals, so try and convince people that are having wildlife
problems that we need to co-habitate with wildlife. We are moving in on them, and they are just looking for somewhere
to go.
If
you or someone you know find a wildlife "orphan", please determine
that the animal is for certain orphaned.
Mother is intended to care for her young, not wildlife rehabilitators. If you do find a true orphan, keep it warm
with a heating pad set on low, and do not attempt to feed the animal yourself,
especially with cows milk. This is
certain to cause diarrhea. Take the
orphan to the nearest wildlife rehabilitator as soon as possible.

The
Great Ape Project invites people from around the world to join our electronic
email service, "GAPNews."
Through this free service, GAP distributes e-mailings relevant to the
lives of our fellow great apes.
All
are welcome to join this service.
Although news and other informational mailings are a big part of
GAPNews, it is often "action-based," providing opportunities to
participate in campaigns such as letter writing or other efforts.
We
hope that if you decide to join GAPNews, you will also sign GAP's Declaration
on Great Apes. You may view and sign the Declaration electronically, at:
<http://www.enviroweb.org/gap/gapdeconline.html>,
or you can request hard copies of the Declaration to sign and mail back to
GAP.

Student's Rights - Dissection
As
a graduate student nearing the completion of my Masters program at Towson
University in Maryland, as well as an Eagle Scout, I am appalled to learn of
the systematic violation of students' rights at Vassar College. These rights are clearly protected by the
free exercise clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. "Congress shall make no law respecting
the establishment of religion, nor abridging the free exercise
thereof." The U.S. Supreme Court
has explicitly held that a religion need not strictly adhere to the dictates of
an organized coalition, but may equally be defined by an individual. Whether or not a student identifies
her/himself as a member of an organized religion, her/his sincerely held moral,
ethical or religious beliefs are protected by the aforementioned clause,
thereby mandating that every academic institution in the U.S. respect this
personal belief system. It behooves
Vassar College as an institution of higher learning to honor the moral
convictions of the students who pay their tuition to attend your school, and
pay your salaries. Private institutions
are equally responsible for adhering to students' civil liberties so long as
they receive any public funding. How
can you call your school a "liberal" institution while
unconstitutionally requiring them to dissect and vivisect animals in Biology
and Psychology classes?
Students
enroll in college to learn how to think critically, not to be indoctrinated
into archaic and fraudulent rituals, disguised as mandatory methodology. If
your institution is worthy of any respect and tuition funds, you have no
justification for an "all-or-nothing" approach. College should not be a fascist dictatorship
where we march in lockstep to our authority's every command. So-called "alternatives" to
academic dissection and vivisection have been widely available for many
years. The Ethical Science Education
Coalition in Boston, Massachusetts, publishes a thick catalogue with hundreds
of practical, comprehensive replacements for the traditional "death science"
approach. Biology is the science of life,
not death. The time is long overdue for
Vassar College and other similar institutions to understand this simple fact.
Had
I been presented some of these alternatives as an undergraduate student at
Hofstra University 6 years ago (as well as in high school), I conceivably would
have performed far better in my laboratory exercises than I did, since biology
was always my strongest natural science discipline. My entire set of career choices would have been different, as I
may have gone to medical school thereafter, rather than pursuing a liberal arts
program. How many more compassionate,
gifted students must sacrifice the opportunity to pursue a life-saving
occupation, in the true tradition of the Hippocratic oath, simply because their
schools force them to violate their own sincerely held moral, religious or
ethical beliefs? Students must not be
coerced to learn material by exploiting animals. "Alternatives" are
generally less expensive, more time-efficient, and more humane. Vassar College must adopt a choice policy
for dissection and vivisection now, lest you continue to violate the U.S.
Constitution by infringing on the free exercise clause. Conscientious objection is no less relevant
to killing other species than to humans.

Replacing School Hatching Projects:
Alternative Resources & How To Order Them
The
Needs Of Developing Birds Are Not Likely To Be Met
Every
year, kindergarten and elementary school teachers and their students place
thousands of fertilized eggs in classroom incubators to be hatched within three
or four weeks. These birds are not only deprived of a mother; many grow sick
and deformed because their exacting needs are not met during incubation and
after hatching. Body organs stick to the sides of the shells because they are
not rotated properly. Birds are born with their intestines outside their
bodies. Eggs can hatch on weekends when no one is in school. The heat may be
turned off for the weekend causing the embryos to become crippled or die in the
shell. Commercial suppliers' eggs hatch an abnormally high number of deformed
birds reflecting the limited gene pool from which they derive. Some teachers
even remove an egg from the incubator every other day and open it up to look at
the embryo in various stages of development, adding the killing of innocent
life to the child's education.
When
the project is over, these now unwanted birds may be left in boxes in the main
office for many hours without food, water, or adequate ventilation waiting to
be collected for disposal. The school system does not even provide a budget for
the veterinary care and treatment of birds and other animals who are used in
the classroom. That this lesson sinks into students is shown by the decision of
millions of adults each year to "get rid of" a sick, injured, or
crippled "pet" rather than pay for veterinary treatment.
Good
Homes Cannot Be Found And The Problem Is Getting Worse . . .
Because
a child bonds naturally with infant animals, students and even some teachers
are misled to believe that the surviving birds are going to live out their
lives happily on a farm, when in reality, most of them are going to be killed
immediately (most working farms do not add school-project birds to their
existing flocks for fear of importing germs), sold to live poultry markets and
auctions, fed to captive zoo animals, or left to die slowly of hunger and
thirst as a result of ignorance and neglect. Commercial egg suppliers routinely
send returned hatching-project birds to slaughter. Baby quails may be used for
hunting and hunting-dog practice or recycled into repetitive "nutrition
deprivation" experiments. As one
egg supply farm explained, "We don't tell the school and kids the truth
because they become emotionally involved. The emotional involvement of people
goes beyond our counseling capacity."
Some
children do learn the truth, however. At a special education school in New York
City, for example, the custodian flushed deformed live chicks down the toilet,
while at another special education school, the teacher twisted the deformed
chicks' necks and then flushed them -- significant lessons for children who are
themselves disabled.
School
hatching projects increase the number of animals no one is asking for -- those
millions of precious creatures, including classroom chickens and other birds,
whom we pay people to "euthanize" each year or whom a parent may
reluctantly take on, usually temporarily. School hatching projects encourage
students to desire to repeat the classroom experience by producing unwanted
litters of puppies and kittens. After all, aren't we assured that a
"farm" or a "shelter" will absorb our castoffs?
Each
year, animal shelters across the country are confronted with unwanted chicks,
ducklings, quails, even turkeys and ostriches, many of them ill, from educators
who never thought of the fate of the birds, or could not find homes for them,
adding to the tremendous burden already borne by the shelters. Surely there are
enough animals who need homes already without adding to the population and
perpetuating the behavior that is responsible for the problem.
Increasing
urbanization enormously compounds the problem. Residential zones ban the
keeping of domestic fowl, while even people who can provide a good home can
accommodate only so many male birds. Normal flocks have several female birds to
one male. Roosters crow before dawn and during the day. (Crowing is part of the complex visual and
communication system evolved in the chickens' jungle habitat.) Unfortunately,
half of all chickens born are males.
The
Lesson Never Taught: Chickens, Ducks, and Quails are Marvels of Nature
The
lesson never taught is that chickens, ducks, and quails are marvels of nature.
These birds are energetic foragers with excellent eyesight, strong legs and
other features that enable them to find their own plants, seeds, and insects
with expertise. Japanese quail mate for life and have strong migratory
instincts that are totally frustrated in captivity. Ducks need water not only
to drink and swim in, but to ensure the health of their eyes with constant
rinsing. Chickens and turkeys have an inborn need to range and be social.
Ostriches and emus have a strong family life in which both parents play an
active role in the nesting, incubation, protection and teaching of their young.
Hatching
project birds have real mothers and fathers . . . somewhere. A mother hen turns
each egg carefully as often as 30 times a day, using her body, her feet, and
her beak to move the egg precisely in order to maintain the proper temperature,
moisture, ventilation, humidity, and position of the egg during the 3-week
incubation period. Embryonic chicks, ducklings, quails, turkeys, ostriches and
emus respond to soothing sounds from the mother hen. Chicken embryos respond to
warning cries of the rooster. Two to three days before the baby birds are ready
to hatch, they start peeping to notify their mother and siblings that they are
ready to emerge from the shell, and to draw her attention to any distress such
as cold or abnormal positioning. A communication network is established among
the baby birds, and between the baby birds and their mother, who must stay calm
while all the peeping, sawing, and breaking of eggs goes on underneath her. As
soon as all the eggs are hatched, the hungry mother and her brood go forth
eagerly to eat, drink, and explore.
Instead
of teaching these valuable lessons, school hatching projects mislead children
to think that artificially incubated birds come from machines with no need of a
mother or a family life. They do not perceive the parents' role in nest-making,
incubation, protection, care, and teaching of their young. Supplemental facts,
even if provided, cannot compete with this barren, mechanistic, and
decontextualized classroom experience which gets passed on from one generation
to the next. For example, a teacher whose students hatched an ostrich in class
mistakenly told the newspaper that the only thing baby ostriches learn from
their parents is "the pecking process."
Meaningful,
Humane, Creative Replacements Are Needed
School
hatching projects teach children (and teachers) that bringing a life into the
world is not a grave and permanent responsibility with ultimate consequences
for the life created. Elimination of this destructive idea from our schools is
a practical extension of the socially responsible atmosphere we are trying to
create for our children, including respect for the family life of all
creatures. Hatching projects need to be replaced with creative programs
including colorful books, filmstrips, videos, computer programs, and plastic
models that demonstrate the embryonic process in the major stages of
development of a bird inside an egg.
Easily-adapted programs are already in use in other areas of biology and
can be adapted to hands-on instruction based on materials that do not entail
the repetitive generation of living beings for a terminal procedure. Educators
can help by urging educational supply companies to develop alternative
programs, and by purchasing existing alternative programs, creating a demand.
In
addition, an understanding of the natural life of chickens, ducks, and quails
incorporating the fact that they are birds can be encouraged by quietly
observing a nest of wild birds including pigeons, sparrows and other birds who
have adapted to city life. Field trips to places where ducks can be seen
swimming and chickens can be seen socializing, sunbathing, dustbathing,
foraging and enjoying themselves outside will help students to see these birds
in a sensitizing and appealing perspective. Field trips with the local Audubon
Society or other local nature study organizations can incorporate holistic
projects in which students observe the fascinating ecology of many kinds of
birds.
What
Educators And Others Can Do
If
a hatching project is being considered at your school, please use an alternative
project, or urge the science curriculum coordinator or whoever else is
responsible to use a replacement that respects the life, feelings, and family
life of all creatures. In doing so, you are helping to build a society in which
it will one day be considered unthinkable to generate a living being simply as
an experiment. If young children are "excited" by classroom
bird-hatching projects and the production of litters of puppies and kittens,
this is because they are innocently bonding with these baby animals without
understanding the true situation. Most of the animals do not have a happy (or
any) life ahead, and multiple unwanted offspring result from those who do. The
majority of children who learn the truth are emotionally traumatized and
justifiably feel betrayed.

New Fast Food Veggie Chain
FORT
LAUDERDALE, Fla., April 25 -- Health Express USA, the country's first fast-food
restaurant franchise to feature gourmet health food, said today its employees
are flipping veggie burgers and pouring organic carrot juice as fast as
possible as sales at its first store have exceeded the company's expectations
in just the first two weeks of operations.
The
company said health-hungry customers have flocked to the company's new flagship
store, Healthy Bites Grill. "We're amazed at the amount of business we did
in our first two weeks of operations," said Doug Baker, CEO of Health
Express USA. "It proves consumers want food that's not only fast but
healthy."
In
addition, the company was recently featured in "Chain Leader
Magazine," a restaurant industry publication published for executives of
multi-unit restaurant companies. Health
Bites is described in the "first look" section of the magazine. Featured in "Chain Leader's" April
issue, the article is titled "Vegetable Kingdom, Healthy Bites brings
good-for-you fast food to Florida." The feature focuses on Healthy Bites,
"Gourmet Healthy Fast Food" and on its expansion plans for the year
2001.
D'Alonzo
commented on the article, pointing out that "Chain Leader" typically
selects the companies it features based upon the potential a company has to
expand its concept. "We're pleased that such a prestigious publication
chose HEXS to be the focus of its 'first look' section. It's an indication of our
growth potential and of the excitement generated by the concept," D'Alonzo
added.
Healthy
Bites Grill's award-winning Executive Chef David Maltrotti was also interviewed
by "Vegetarian Times" for an article scheduled to be published this
summer in addition to "Foodservicecentral.com," an online
publication.
Healthy
Bites Grill offers healthy and organic food in a fast-food format, including
both a drive-through and an eat-in facility. Its menu includes such fare as
grilled Portobello mushroom sandwiches, cholesterol-free vegetarian Caesar
salads, Oriental Harusame salads and a variety of other alternatives prepared
without adding fat, artificial flavorings, pesticides, antibiotics and other
substances found in many of today's food production processes.

Don't
by Guila
Manchester
Perhaps
somewhere the gates are swinging open
And a tiny
pair of wings is flying through.
And your
little feathered body
Lying limp
within my hands
Is free from
all the harm
That man can
do.
Don't try to
find your supper by walking in the road.
It's simply
not the place
For you to be.
You waited
just a bit too long for flying;
The driver
didn't care
Or didn't see.
Don't try to
get the berries on the bushes.
They may be
coated well
With poison
spray.
Don't try to
stick your head through rings of plastic,
For if you're
caught
You cannot get
away.
Don't go into
a yard where there are children,
For some of
them
Think sticks
and stones are fun.
And some will
walk away and leave you bleeding
For they have
learned the "sport"
Of use a gun.
Don't try to
build your nest in someone's flowers.
They may not
want the bother it could bring.
Sometimes
they'll take a nest
And simply
throw it on the ground
Your baby
birds
May never live
to sing.
I'd like to
see a world that made you welcome.
I'd like to
help God's creatures live;
Instead I
watch them die.
I hold your
broken body lying limp within my hands
And something
deep inside me
wants
to
cry......

"I expect to pass through this world

this way again."
