Pet Monologues

Two very smart squirrels. One very crazy rube goldberg obstacle course.

Equally wild are people who concoct these…happenings. The cat’s house is pretty wild. I guess it’s no different than electric trains going from room to room. One train build-out went from kitchen to family room. The train delivers beer and pretzels.

A few posts ago PM presented incredible polar bear photos. The images by themselves are remarkable. But the polar bear is more than the largest predator on this planet. They have become a global warming symbol. It’s an easy analogy. The bears live on ice. The ices is melting. Easy picture here. Here is another polar bear story, and another global warming hot-spot.

The bears may have more problems…

Today Salon.com. comes to the forefront highlighting yet another polar bear worry. Part of their story is in this post with a link to the full story…

If your idea of a good time is paying $25,000 to journey to the frozen north in Canada to shoot a polar bear—making you one of the more than 50 American “sportsmen” who do so every year—you’re not happy about the lawsuits and recriminations over whether the Bush administration should grant new protections to polar bears. After all, those darn regulations could interfere with your bringing home a furry white rug for your living room floor.

In the reams of press about the increasing deaths of polar bears, the role of trophy hunters and the Inuit who help them is often missing. In the Canadian territories where the polar bear lives, the government sets quotas for the number of bears that can be hunted each year. The Canadian Inuit, who are paid by hunters to help them stalk the bears, and American hunting associations have become vocal adversaries to environmentalists and Congress members who in recent months have battled the Department of Interior, with its Bush-Cheney oil connections, to safeguard the polar bear.

Today, there are between 20,000 and 25,000 polar bears worldwide, according to the World Conservation Union Species Survival Commission’s Polar Bear Specialist Group, which lists the species as “vulnerable.” Between 700 and 900 polar bears are shot every year, the majority of those taken in Canada, according to Andrew Derocher, a biologist at the University of Alberta, who chairs the Polar Bear Specialist Group. Of the approximately 600 polar bears shot in Canada, about 15 percent of those are killed by sports hunters, many of them American, who pay between $20,000 to $35,000 for the chance to do so.

Dolphin appears to guide whales to sea

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP)—Most days, Moko the bottlenosed dolphin swims playfully with humans at a New Zealand beach. But this week, it seems, Moko found his mojo. Witnesses described Wednesday how they saw the dolphin swim up to two stranded whales and guide them to safety. Read the rest of this entry »

PM is not exactly sure what is going on here. Here is a link to the photo which seems to be a temporary page for…The Cats’ House

What do you get when you cross Daffy Duck and Luke Skywalker?
Rubber duckies!

At first glance it seemed that these toys would fall into the “green” category as they were advertised as shutting off when not in the water. But no, when the battery dies you throw it on the plastic water bottle heap. “Running on a non-replaceable 45-hour battery, all are ready to swim around and around, and to save battery power, they stop whatever it is that propels their watery wanderings as soon as you take them out of the H2O.” Luke Pondwalker, Princess Layer, and—it’s Pondtrooper. Not that I made a bee-line to find these cute things—I was looking for information on Macbook Air.

Winding down a pleasant day when this post found its way here. The story provided by The reality of what humans do needs few words from us. Their post “a picture worth a thousand words” is compelling. Visit their site for a more complete story.

The graphic picture shows the grim reality of pet over-population. The photo caption reads: Two days’ worth of euthanized animals sit in barrels in cold storage at the Kern County Animal Shelter on Mount Vernon Avenue. The small animal shelter euthanizes about 25,000 animals every year.

Stories like this are difficult to report. But with dialog solutions come easier. Here are two more posts that mention the issue of neutering at lady omega and animals as friends
