Anthropomorphic Nouns‏

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals. 

We are all familiar with a

 Herd of cows
Flock of chickens
School of fish
 and a Gaggle of geese
 and a Pride of lions


However, less widely known is:
 a Murder of crows
 (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens)
 an Exaltation of doves

And, presumably because they look so wise
 a Congress of owls

Now consider a group of Baboons.
They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates.........

And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons?
 Believe it or not ……. A Parliament
YEP....A PARLIAMENT OF BABOONS!
Pretty much explains everything doesn't it?

You just can’t make this stuff up.

Ask Edmonton to Let Lucy Pack Her Trunk!

Please send polite comments to:

The Honourable Stephen Mandel
Mayor of Edmonton
stephen.mandel@edmonton.ca
  
Edmonton City Councillors
councillors@edmonton.ca

Dear Sir,

For over 30 years, Lucy has been held captive in a small zoo enclosure in frigid Edmonton, Alberta, and for more than three years, she’s been without the companionship of other elephants.

Lucy’s life at the Edmonton Valley Zoo—which was identified by elephant biologist Winnie Kiiru as the worst zoo in Canada for elephants—is a miserable contrast to what she would experience in the wild. Female elephants are highly social and suffer greatly when kept in isolation. Edmonton’s freezing winter weather and the zoo’s policy of locking Lucy indoors during the winter and when the zoo is closed means that Lucy spends the majority of her time in a small barn. When she is allowed outside, she is restricted to an enclosure that is less than an acre in size.

Lucy exhibits signs of mental distress and has health issues—including upper respiratory problems, arthritis, obesity, and chronic foot ailments—as a result of the substandard and inadequate conditions at the Edmonton Valley Zoo. These health problems are further aggravated by the region’s frigid climate.

The city of Toronto recently agreed to release the elephants at its city zoo to a sanctuary by the end of 2012 and also formally urged Edmonton to do the same with Lucy. This is a huge step forward, and it’s time for Edmonton to follow Toronto’s example!

The only way to ensure that Lucy’s suffering doesn’t continue—and that her health conditions don’t eventually kill her—is to transfer her to a sanctuary. The Performing Animal Welfare Society sanctuary in California can offer Lucy ponds for bathing, fresh vegetation and foraging opportunities, the freedom to roam over many acres of natural habitat, and the company of other elephants.

I urge you and the Edmonton City Council to do whatever is necessary to get Lucy relocated to a sanctuary and to close the zoo’s elephant exhibit permanently.

Sincerely,

Name/Country

Tell USDA to IMMEDIATELY fine University of Southern Mississippi

To: Betty.J.Goldentyer@usda.gov

Dr. Elizabeth Goldentyer

USDA/APHIS/AC
920 Main Campus Drive, Suite 2000
Raleigh, NC 27606
(919) 855-7100

Dear Madam,

HATTIESBURG, MS – A University of Southern Mississippi research laboratory is apparently allowing ticks to feast on rabbits and hamsters
The horrific research has led to gruesome conditions where test subjects are so infested they are being eaten alive, according to a horrific report obtained by a national research watchdog organization.

A recently obtained federal report discloses that holes were eaten in animals' ears, they bled from the rectum and eventually had to be euthanized – leading to multiple federal violations, charged Ohio-based SAEN,
which has filed an official complaint with the USDA requesting a full federal investigation.

A scathing, four-page September, 2012, USDA inspection report reveals multiple federal infractions at USM. The facility is cited repeatedly for inadequate supervision of an experiment that literally feeds rabbits and hamsters to colonies of ticks.
The animals have been so consumed by the ticks that they developed holes in their ears, bled from the rectum, and required euthanasia.

One animal is described: "...Rabbit 60RBJT was used to feed Ablyomma maculatum for 13 days... Lab staff noted that there was a tremendous damage to the animal's ears.
At end of feeding on 2/6 animal has large holes in the ears, ear color was blue, and there was tip necrosis noted on 2/3. On 1/30/12 the animal was noted to be bleeding from the rectum.”

The inspection report indicates that USM administration suggested it knew about the employee, noting that: “Attempts to address this situation appeared to be unsuccessful based on facility documentation.”

In a letter to Dr. Elizabeth Goldentyer, Michael A. Budkie, A.H.T., Executive Director, SAEN states: “The level of abuse that this process is allowed to reach is astonishing to me, and I have been reading USDA inspection reports for over 20 years.”
http://www.all-creatures.org/saen/ms/images/res-fr-ms-usm-complaint-20121210.pdf

I insist that you take immediate action against the University of Southern Mississippi for allowing rabbits and hamsters to literally be eaten alive by ticks.

Sincerely,

Name/Country
