  • Amelioration of Pet Overpopulation and Abandonment Using Control of Breeding and Sale, and Compulsory Owner Liability Insurance
    animals Article Amelioration of Pet Overpopulation and Abandonment Using Control of Breeding and Sale, and Compulsory Owner Liability Insurance Eva Bernete Perdomo 1,* , Jorge E. Araña Padilla 1 and Siegfried Dewitte 2 1 University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 35017 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain; [email protected] 2 Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, 3000 Leuven, Belgium; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Simple Summary: Overpopulation and abandonment of pets are long-standing and burgeoning concerns that involve uncontrolled breeding and selling, illegal trafficking, overpopulation, and pet- safety and well-being issues. Historical and current prevention measures for avoiding these problems, such as sanctions, taxes, or responsibility education, have failed to provide significant moderation or resolution. Globally, millions of pets are commercially and privately bred and abandoned annually, damaging biodiversity and ecosystems, and presenting road safety and public health risks, in addition to becoming victims of hardship, abuse, and illegal trafficking, especially in the case of exotic species. This article proposes a novel comprehensive management system for amelioration of overpopulation and abandonment of pets by using greater control of supply and demand of the pet market, highlighting the role of the compulsory owner liability insurance to prevent pet abandonment and all its associated costs. This system aims to act preventatively, through flexible protocols within the proposed management system to be applied to any pet and any country.

    Tom and Annette Lantos Center for Compassion 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010-2307 650-340-7022 • 650-685-8428 fax • www.PHS-SPCA.org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 6, 2020 Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA Now Offering Popular Reading to Dogs Program Virtually Burlingame, CA –The Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA (PHS/SPCA) in partnership with the Redwood City Public Library, San Mateo Main Library and branches in the San Mateo County Library system is now offering their very popular free of charge Paws for Tales reading program virtually. “Our Paws for Tales program helps children who are experiencing difficulty or shyness when reading,” said PHS/SPCA Communications Manager Buffy Martin-Tarbox. “It’s a simple but effective program where a child reads a book out loud to perhaps the most non-judgmental being on the planet: a Pet Assisted Therapy dog. Normally we offer the program in-person at the libraries, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the shelter-in-place order, Paws for Tales is now available via Zoom.” Paws for Tales is free and affords young readers the opportunity to practice their reading and speaking skills. The youth take turns reading out loud to a PHS/SPCA Pet Assisted Therapy dog. PHS/SPCA Assisted Therapy program is made up of San Mateo County residents and their pets who undergo rigorous training and health checks before being certified. After certification, the Pet Assisted Therapy teams provide in-person visits to health care facilities, drug rehabilitation centers, schools, libraries and correctional facilities. The in-person visits are temporarily suspended at this time.

  • Should We Hunt Gray Wolves in Michigan?
    SHOULD WE HUNT GRAY WOLVES IN MICHIGAN? AUGUST 2018 Dean’s Welcome Welcome, SEAS students! Before you know it, you will be boarding a bus with your classmates, headed for the University of Michigan Biological Station (the “Biostation”) in beautiful Northern Michigan—or “Up North” as Michiganders call it. There, during an immersive orientation experience, you will explore, learn, bond—and become an integral part of our community. This is just the beginning of your graduate career at SEAS, throughout which we will work together to solve some of the world’s most complex environmental problems. This is why you chose SEAS, and why we chose you. It is all very exciting, and we cannot wait to get started. So, why wait? The following case study details an active issue in the state of Michigan: whether or not to allow a public wolf hunt. During your time at the Biostation, you will be asked to examine the issue from opposing, nuanced perspectives, challenging your own gut reaction to the problem. Discussions will be guided by the scientific, political, economic, and social analyses included in these pages. You will actively collaborate with your classmates to uncover and synthesize facts, ultimately building a responsible, sustainable policy recommendation on Michigan’s wolf population. To prepare, simply read the case study and let it simmer. There is no need to do additional research. Enjoy your time at orientation. Get to know your classmates. Explore the gorgeous landscape. And then, come September 4th, join us back at the Dana Building ready to launch your graduate education and set out on a path of meaningful work—work that will have an impact on generations to come.

  • Pet Cats & Human Health Things to Think About Before Getting a Cat
    For Pet \ Owners Pet Cats & Human Health As of 2000, it was estimated that there were approximately 4.5 million domestic cats in Canadian homes. Many cat owners live in very close contact with their feline companions. It is common for house cats to have access to areas like the kitchen counter where food is prepared, and many cats sleep in the same bed as their owners. Given the high frequency of very close contact between cats and people, it is easy to see how infection could be transmitted between them. Although the risk of zoonotic disease transmission from cats is very low, it is important to be aware that it exists, and to take some simple precautions to reduce this risk. Things to Think About Before Getting a Cat Your veterinarian is a great source of information and advice about the time and financial commitments involved in owning a cat what kind of cat would be best suited for you and from where you should get one. In order to decrease the risk of your cat becoming sick and/or transmitting infection to a person, it is recommended that the cat should be: Well socialized and accustomed to handling: this will make the cat less likely to bite or scratch a person. Examined regularly by a veterinarian: in order to assess the overall health of the cat, check for external and internal parasites, and clip the cat’s claws. Declawing the cat is NOT necessary. Spayed/neutered: this will help to decrease fighting with other cats and the tendency to roam, as well as the tendency for male cats to urine mark, and it eliminates the possibility of pregnancy in female cats.

  • Origin of the Egyptian Domestic Cat
    UPTEC X 12 012 Examensarbete 30 hp Juni 2012 Origin of the Egyptian Domestic Cat Carolin Johansson Molecular Biotechnology Programme Uppsala University School of Engineering UPTEC X 12 012 Date of issue 2012-06 Author Carolin Johansson Title (English) Origin of the Egyptian Domestic Cat Title (Swedish) Abstract This study presents mitochondrial genome sequences from 22 Egyptian house cats with the aim of resolving the uncertain origin of the contemporary world-wide population of Domestic cats. Together with data from earlier studies it has been possible to confirm some of the previously suggested haplotype identifications and phylogeny of the Domestic cat lineage. Moreover, by applying a molecular clock, it is proposed that the Domestic cat lineage has experienced several expansions representing domestication and/or breeding in pre-historical and historical times, seemingly in concordance with theories of a domestication origin in the Neolithic Middle East and in Pharaonic Egypt. In addition, the present study also demonstrates the possibility of retrieving long polynucleotide sequences from hair shafts and a time-efficient way to amplify a complete feline mitochondrial genome.
