Pit bulls, just like any other dog, want a caring family and a joyous home. Some individuals may argue that pit bulls should not be allowed to be kept as pets due to a few of the vicious crimes they have committed in the past, however, the entire pit bull breed should not be punished for the act of a few of their counterparts. Pit bulls, as long as they have a positive home environment, the proper social interaction, and get plenty of exercise are no more dangerous than any other dog and should…

Greyhounds are the oldest purebred dog. This ancient breed was originated in the Middle East and North Africa . Greyhounds were seen in carvings in old Egyptian tombs in 2900 B.C. Greyhounds were used by the Romans for chasing hares or small prey. Greyhounds made their way to America in the 1500s by Spain when they came on ships. Greyhounds were used by the Romans for chasing hares or small prey. They became popular in colonial times for chasing crop destroying jackrabbits. During the 1920s…

Captive breeding and reintroduction programs are important tools for the establishment of threatened animal populations, but experimental approaches require to compare the outcomes of these programs that will increase post-release survival. The Kaiser’s Mountain Newt, Neurergus kaiseri is listed as a vulnerable by IUCN criteria, to aid about the ecology and the conservation of this species, we carried out a trial release of 20 newts reared in captivity on 4 occasions during the spring and summer…

i have experience being around cannabis growing and breeding most of my life. one of my first connections was from connoisseur breeders including one licensed by the FBI to breed and research cannabis. i knew strains by name and by genetics before the cannabis dispensaries existed. i have a collection of grow books i have read for fun. i can distinguish the good information online from the bogus. Based on my hands on experience and success plus my confidence level i am a novice grower. You need…

Sea Worlds Decision to End Orca Breeding & Captivity Sea World was originally founded to provide entertainment, education, and revenue for its clientele. Throughout its lifespan it has dealt with criticism from the public and animal rights activists. Most recently a film titled “BlackFish” brought Sea Worlds practices to light. This blow to the organization and their success has caused Sea World to make some crucial decisions. Sea Worlds decisions on keeping wild animals in captivity and…

Tree cavity is an important breeding- and nesting-site for mammals and birds. Thus, these animals often separate the use of the cavity, partially or completely. For example, the small Japanese field mouse Apodemus argenteus nests in low height cavity to avoid competition with Siberian flying squirrel Pteromys volans (Suzuki and Yanagawa 2012, Suzuki et al. 2014). In addition, Slagsvold (1978) showed importance of different breeding season between the pied flycatcher Ficedula hypoleuco and great…

Planned breeding kept 0.1231 more heterozygosity than the random breeding did (Table 3). Also, after eight generations of breeding the 12 founders in the planned breeding, only 0.0013 heterozygosity was lost from the founding population that rose up after the wild population crash, which is higher than the value for the random breeding at 0.8769 that lost 0.1244 heterozygosity in the same amount of time (Table 3). The planned breeding conserved 95.69 times more heterozygosity…

GENETIC TRANSFER MANIPULATION Humans have been manipulating the natural genetic transfer of animals and plants for a long time. Cloning and selective breeding are well known examples of genetic transfer manipulation. This report will focus on these two manipulations, and the implications they can have on the individuals, and the populations too. In order to show why genetic transfer manipulations are used, and to see the implications of it, the cases of “Dolly” the cloned sheep, and domesticated…
