  • This House Would Ban Zoos. Content
    LBRT: This house would ban zoos. Content: 1. Key Articles 2. Additional Resources LearningLeaders – All Rights Reserved - 7/18/16 1 ARTICLE 1 ZOOS AND WILDLIFE PARKS ARE NO WAY TO TREAT AN ANIMAL November 8, 2012 Over the past century, thousands of species have disappeared from our planet, and many more are on the critically endangered list. Yet even as extinction, we console ourselves with the thought that we are preserving many species in zoos and wildlife parks. As the owner and operator of two such parks Howletts and Port Lympne in Kent you would expect the Aspinall Foundation, founded by my late father John, to argue that it is sometimes right to keep animals in captivity. Although we do agree that there are times when the interests of the species can be best served by animals being kept in captivity, we believe that it is scandalous that so many zoos around the world remain packed with often miserable animals, kept in unnatural conditions where they remain incapable of breeding, despite frequently being paired biblically, two by two. In these zoos, lions, tigers, elephants, rhinos and other wonderful creatures exist in these conditions largely, if not solely, for humans to gawp at, on the pretext that they and their children are being educated about the wonders of the natural world. This view may have been partially justified up to the advent of the digital age, and the spread of information via television. Today, the idea that zoos provide the sole or even the best repository of learning is risible.

  • Evaluating the Potential for Species Reintroductions in Canada
    Evaluating the Potential for Species Reintroductions in Canada JAY V. GEDIR, TIAN EVEREST, AND AXEL MOEHRENSCHLAGER Centre for Conservation Research, Calgary Zoo, 1300 Zoo Road NE, Calgary, AB, T2E 7V6, Canada, email [email protected] Abstract: Species reintroductions and translocations are increasingly useful conservation tools for restoring endangered populations around the world. We examine ecological and socio- political variables to assess Canada’s potential for future reintroductions. Biologically ideal species would be prolific, terrestrial, herbivorous, behaviorally simple, charismatic, easily tractable, or large enough to carry transmitters for post-release evaluations, and would have small home range requirements. Sociologically, Canada’s large geographic area, low human density, high urban population, widespread protectionist views towards wildlife, and sound economic status should favor reintroduction success. Canada has implemented legislation to safeguard species at risk and, compared to developing countries, possesses substantial funds to support reintroduction efforts. We support the reintroduction guidelines put forth by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) but realize that several challenges regarding these parameters will unfold in Canada’s future. Pressures from the rates of species loss and climate change may precipitate situations where species would need to be reintroduced into areas outside their historic range, subspecific substitutions would be necessary if taxonomically similar individuals are unavailable,

Our newest member Yara Barros is the technical director of the Parque das Aves in Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná. During the Regional Network meeting of February 2013, it was decided that CBSG Brasil would work hard to get involved with the Brazilian ex situ community. Yara Barros has now joined our small team as representative of the ex situ community. Yara is well positioned for this endeavor, as she is also the president of the Brazilian Zoo and Aquarium Association. Thanks to Yara we hope to be able share CBSG tools, contacts and ideas with the Brazilian Zoo and Aquarium community. Welcome Yara! Since the last CBSG Annual Meeting we have successfully run several workshops and attended various meetings as well as engaged with numerous partners regarding potential workshops. Action Plan for the Brazilian Society of Zoos and Aquaria (SZB) Brazil has 121 zoological institutions (109 zoos and 12 aquaria), which hold approximately 50,000 animals.

  • WHITE COAT CEREMONY 2013 2013 WHITE COAT CEREMONY Class of 2017
    WESTERN COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE WHITE COAT CEREMONY 2013 2013 WHITE COAT CEREMONY Class OF 2017 VETERINARIAN’S OATH As a member of the veterinary medical profession, I solemnly swear that I will use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society. I will strive to promote animal health and welfare, relieve animal suffering, protect the health of the public and environment, and advance comparative medical knowledge. I will practise my profession conscientiously, with dignity, and in keeping with the principles of veterinary medical ethics. I will strive continuously to improve my professional knowledge and competence and to maintain the highest professional and ethical standards for myself and the profession. 2013 WHITE COAT CEREMONY WHITE COAT CEREMONY For decades, western Canadian students with a passion for veterinary medicine had to leave their region to pursue their dreams. The situation changed in 1963 when Canada’s western provinces agreed to establish a regional veterinary college at the University of Saskatchewan. In 1969 the first class of veterinarians graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, and the new building was officially dedicated. Nearly 50 years later, the co-operative spirit that created the WCVM is alive and well. The College’s regional responsibilities for providing veterinary education, expertise and research are officially recognized in the Interprovincial Agreement — a unique document that is updated and renewed by the western provinces and the WCVM every five years. As a regional college, the WCVM provides veterinary education to undergraduate students who are residents of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the northern territories.

INTRODUCION At least forty thousand primates are traded internationally every year.' Of these, at least thirteen thousand are sold illegally.2 Smugglers are currently trading live, endangered primates throughout the world,3 and statistics indicate that unless this trade is stopped, certain primates, such as the gorilla and wild chimpanzee, will shortly be extinct.4 Over the last twenty years, commerce practices have caused between forty and ninety thousand needless chimpanzee deaths.5 The effect of these deaths on the viability of the species is profound. Field surveys estimate the current world chimpanzee population at less than 250,000 individuals.

  • Wild Neighbours the Safety and Security of Ontario's Wildlife in Captivity Facilities
    WILD NEIGHBOURS The Safety and Security of Ontario's Wildlife in Captivity Facilities <H1> Photo caption here Tigers are dangerous animals that retain their wild instincts, and they must be treated with extreme caution. The large (and possibly growing) number of people who keep tigers is a cause for concern. There is a significant danger posed by captive tigers, even when they are cared for by professionals and held in facili- ties that take all the required safety precautions. The risk of tigers causing human injury and death is highest when this risk is underestimated, such as when tigers are kept as pets, used as a prop for photographs, or people come in direct contact with them to feed, clean cages, or pet them—with or without a cage separating people and tigers.
