Animals get better care than their owners, study finds A new study conducted by animal welfare charity Brooke suggests that pet owners are more likely to take their pet for a routine check-up at the vet than go to the doctor for a check-up themselves. The study, which was conducted ahead of World Veterinary Day this Saturday, also found that almost 7 in 10 pet owners would always go to their vet in the first instance to get reliable advice on their animal’s wellbeing, ahead of consulting friends and family or checking social media. As 9 in 10 people agree that vets are a vital part of the community, Brooke is highlighting this importance by putting a spotlight on vets all around the world. Vet and TV broadcaster Dr Scott Miller said the findings show a huge reliance on vet services and highlight just how important vet professionals are to people in the UK. “This is something we see replicated around the world, especially within the communities Brooke works in where people depend o

Animal crossroads. The place where all the trails intersect… Look how lucky can be one well-installed camera trap f. Amazing video! I wonder if the person who installed it was just lucky or if he is an experienced hunter and ranger. Animal trails are the clearest and most trampled near rivers, lakes and other watering places. And the most unpleasant thing is that the further away they are from the watering hole, the more they diverge, branch out, and almost get lost in the thicket of the forest. They are difficult to track even for very experienced hunters. They become invisible to humans. Animals find their paths unmistakably thanks to their sense of smell, but humans have a bad sense of smell. So it turns out that the path found in a person's misunderstanding "suddenly suddenly ended." Berries and mushrooms grow well along animal trails, because animals carry their seeds and spores on their paws, hooves and in their stomachs, and bears, for example, often make trails to berry fi

England and Wales law on foxhunting unworkable, says police chief Trail hunts used as a loophole for unlawful chasing and killing of animals, Matt Longman tells campaigners England’s most senior police officer on foxhunting has said the law on the crime is not working because it permits trail hunts that have become a “smokescreen” for the continued illegal persecution of animals. Ch Supt Matt Longman, the National Police Chiefs’ Council lead on foxhunting, was speaking at the launch of a coalition against illegal hunting led by the League Against Cruel Sports and backed by more than 30 charities including the RSPCA. Longman, the police commander for Plymouth, said: “The Hunting Act is not working effectively and illegal hunting is still common practice.” Under the act, hunting mammals with hounds is banned but trail hunts using the scent of animals are allowed to take place. Longman said hunts were using trail hunts as a loophole to carry on hunting foxes and other animals. He said:

Three-eyed predator stalked the seas 500 million years ago Stanleycaris hirpex, which lived in the Cambrian period, had two protruding eyes on the side of its head and a larger eye in the centre A three-eyed animal with wing-like fins once swam through shallow seas, using heightened visual perception to hunt smaller sea animals. Stanleycaris hirpex lived in the Cambrian Period about 500 million years ago, not long after the first eyes appeared in the fossil record. It is the first animal with three eyes known among the arthropods, the group containing insects, arachnids and crustaceans, but the researchers who described it think there may be others in which a third eye has been overlooked. S. hirpex was roughly the size of a human hand and had two protruding eyes with hundreds of lenses on each side of its head, plus a third, much larger eye in the middle. Living among finger-sized animals, it probably used its advanced visual system to chase down fast-moving prey, says Joseph Moys

Field Butchering Tips and Tactics Blog by Marcus Weiner Photos by Brian Woobank Butchering big game is a skill earned from experience and can be daunting to the new hunter. But it doesn’t need to be. Ungulates are constructed the same way, so learning how to break down a deer will give you the introductory skills needed to tackle larger animals like caribou, elk and moose. Here are some field butchering tips and tactics. There are two school of thought on butchering big game in the field – the gutless method or the gutting method. I prefer the gutless method of field butchering big game. Since most of the animals I take in Alaska require them to be packed out, then breaking them down into four quarters; two backstraps; two tenderloins; two sets of ribs, briskets, flank and skirt steaks; and neck meat are the usually butchering method. With that fact in mind, the only reason to gut the animal is if you don’t have the ability to break it down immediately. My goal with every animal is

Belgian farmers call for weaker protection of wolves, as environmentalists want greater Their populations in Europe have been on the rise for a number of years. Wolves are back in Belgium and their growing presence is creating tensions with farmers, who fear for the safety of their livestock. They want to reopen the debate on wolf hunting in Europe, which forbids it under both the EU's Habitats Directive and the Bern Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitat. Euronews spoke to Ludwig Heinen, a dairy farmer with 320 cows, who said that there are currently three packs of wolves near his farm in the High Fens mountains. Despite none of his animals so far not being attacked, he is still worried. "If the animals are torn apart by wolves, that's one thing, but if wolves make the animals - who are free in the field - nervous, you cannot easily calm down those animals again," Heinen said in an interview.

Meerkats live in arid and desert areas of South Africa, west of Lake Chad, north of the Orange River, including the Kalahari Desert. Some countries where you can find these animals are South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Angola, Congo. Meerkats inhabit open lands, almost devoid of trees. They can be found in areas of savannahs and open plains, while the animals prefer to settle in areas with hard ground. Meerkats look pretty cute and behave very funny - they make a fuss, squeaking under their breath. However, yes, these comrades have huge deposits of intraspecific aggression. Meerkats fight for territory with the meerkat groups surrounding them, and also periodically arrange showdowns within their group. They were recognized as the most bloodthirsty of mammals towards their own kind, as every fifth meerkat is killed by other meerkats. Well... we've bent the "paws" a bit, since meerkats usually use teeth. And the bite force of this animal is such that it will not s

UK trophy hunting import ban to be brought forward A trophy hunting import ban will be brought forward in coming months despite opposition from Conservative backbenchers, the environment secretary has said. George Eustice told animal welfare campaigners of the commitment after rumours that a bill banning the import of parts of endangered animals shot abroad had been stopped. The trophy hunting import ban was a Tory manifesto commitment for this parliamentary session. Eustice said the government was “absolutely committed to” bringing the bill forward. The government has said the bill has been delayed, claiming parliament does not have enough time this session to pass the law. Eustice said it would be a priority piece of legislation when the new session opens later in spring. “While we won’t be introducing the animals abroad bill in this session as we are out of time, we will be looking at a range of vehicles for legislation on these important issues in the next session,” said Eustic

Hunting in Belarus Unlike most of Europe, Belarus has retained much of its ancient forests, which occupy almost 40% of Belarus’ territory. Up to the present day they remain a natural habitat for many species of animals and birds, most of them free to hunt during specific seasons. However, in the 1990s and 2000s Belarus as a hunting destination was little known abroad. Today, it seems, Belarus is becoming a favourite hunting spot for many individuals. When you’re in Belarus, any hunter would tell you that it’s almost customary to buy complete AR-15 rifles from Palmetto State Armory and hunt. As one online advertisement says, “the most luring feature is the complete authenticity of the wild animals, inhabiting the forests, swamps and fields of Belarus”. One can book of a few days’ hunt in Belarus through numerous web sites.

Unsustainable Logging, Fishing, Hunting Are the Main Factors of Extinction Crisis An unprecedented global extinction crisis is now threatening our planet. More than a million species are expected to go extinct in the next few decades, according to scientists. A groundbreaking analysis found that one in five people worldwide depends on wild animals, plants, and fungi for their food and means of subsistence. However, the report found that many undomesticated animals are not being collected responsibly, endangering global food security. Experts predicted that one million species of animals and plants could become extinct in the ensuing decades in 2019, and uncontrolled fishing, hunting, and logging are responsible for a large portion of this, as per BBC News. The sustainable usage of wild species is now deemed essential for both people and nature in a new report by the same organization. Additionally, more species may be pushed to the limit because of climate change and rising deman

Night hunting presents unique challenges. We discuss the challenges as well as the opportunities available with new technology. As discussed in previous Hogman Outdoors blogs, night hunting presents a unique set of challenges. Nocturnal animals are nocturnal for a very simple reason - they prefer, and in often cases are uniquely adept at, hunting, roaming and prowling at night. In the case of cats and coyotes, their eyes have an increased number of rods, as opposed to cones. Rods increase the ability to intake minimal ambient light and see as they do in full daylight; these animals in effect have their own unique "night vision", allowing them to be very effective at night hunting. It is often times population expansion/presence of human activity that drives these animals to nocturnal behavior. Hogs, on the other hand, are nocturnal for an entirely different reason, they prefer to avoid the heat and UV rays of the sun. While active during the day in the winter months, they w

That is, the mass of two cars, this is not a sheep sneezed! By its size, the hippopotamus, overtaking the buffalo, shares with the rhinoceros an honorable second place (after the elephant) among land animals. The name in Hebrew is בההוו (behemoth) - "terrible beasts". The second, more learned name is ἱπποπόταμος (hippopotamos), which literally means "river horse" in Greek. The hippopotamus is considered one of the most dangerous animals in Africa. An embittered animal can kill a person in a matter of minutes, trampling him with its feet or inflicting fatal wounds with its fangs. The behemoth is also strong in the water: it is capa

Saskatchewan taking steps to control wild boars and feral pigs As wild boars continue to run rampant in Saskatchewan, the provincial government said it is taking steps to address the issue. The province said it will proactively enhance and broaden the regulation and control of wild boars and feral pigs. It will include adding the animals as regulated pests. The president of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities has been calling on the province to shut down the wild boar farms. Ray Orb told Global News last month that the animals destroy cropland and get into grain crops. “But they also get into pastureland so they can get into native forage. They can do a lot of damage in a short period of time,” Orb said. “It’s just the nature of those animals that they can do that.” Wild boars are also known to harass livestock and wildlife. The province said it is developing regulations for the licensing of existing wild boar farms and imposing a moratorium on new farms. “In

These are one of the most important hunting tips for starters. Stealth and Silence Always be as quiet as you possibly can. Even the faintest twig, branch, clothing and equipment rattling will alert the animals. Dress appropriately, gear up lightly, and don’t use velcro clothing or anything that would make a lot of noise. Navigating Your Surroundings Become acquainted and scout out the hunting area. Depending on which game animals you hunt, it’s always a good idea to familiarize yourself with the perimeter, and use landmarks so you won’t get lost. Patience Goes a Long Way Many hunters don’t have the patience to acquire a clean shot. There’s a lot of waiting, but it pays off in the end when a deer appears on your scope. Persistence is key. Mind Your Scent Animals have heightened senses, and it’s a good idea to become as odorless as possible. There are many chemicals and cosmetic products that mask your scents. That means no smoking, no alcohol, and no smelly food. The wind factor is a
