The Lion King is in danger, facing extinction
Al via la Big Cat Week, a week devoted to big cats. Nat Geo Wild on the films of Derek and Beverly Joubert
Milan – The king is in danger. He dominated for centuries by conquering the scepter of the savannah animal symbol of the wilderness. But now for the lion announce tough times. The population of big cats – and the discussion applies to all species that reference, from tigers to leopards and cheetahs – is strongly in decline because of hunting and wild areas of human activity as a growing and increasingly invasive. The cycle of life as told by Disney in the Lion King, with Simba that takes the place of his father Mufasa and ensures, in addition to the continuation of its ilk also the balance of the natural food chain, likely to remain just a concept cartoon. In Africa, up to 50 years ago, there were approximately 450 thousand copies of a lion; today only 20 thousand. Hunting contributes greatly to this reduction: are at least 500 adult males who are killed by hunters taking advantage of what many African countries consider sustainable quotas. But for every pack leader disappears – and hunters generally link to the, the strongest and often the most beautiful and majestic among those who end up potentially being targeted by sniper rifles – is the entire reference group that ends up succumbing: without a guide, the rest of the pack is in disarray and, paradoxically, he even died from starvation.
THE BIG CAT WEEK " – E’ a situation, This, that is present in Berverly and Dereck Joubert, husband and wife from 30 year dedicate their lives to the study and preservation of big cats in Botswana. Director naturalist he, her photojournalist, have decided to put their work and their creativity at the service of big cats.

The Big Cat Odissey ", their latest work, now comes directly to homes.

Do not buy puppies as a gift
In December, they sell 350 thousand dogs and cats
Dalmatian puppies (Stock Corsera) You can not say that the holidays bring joy to the human animal. Bustles with activity in slaughterhouses, and also the idea of a puppy as a gift several hidden dangers. To deter the purchase in shops and inviting rather than adoptions from kennels and catteries, the’AIDAA (Italian Association in Defence of Animals and the Environment) yesterday launched an appeal, Recalling the huge number of people leaving the puppies bought at Christmas (150thousand dogs and cats 250K): after a few months 40% of these find themselves without a master. But I'm more of a reason to avoid asking you to buy in shops.
FEATURED PETS – First, the animal on display is usually imported from some eastern European country. There is bred in economics and unscrupulously, are prone to inbreeding that causes physical and character TARE. The pups were removed from their mothers too early, with serious behavioral consequences. Are subjected to appalling travel; grouped into trucks pass a first unnatural selection. Many, Indeed, so die. Other, get sick once bought. Still others are suffering, manifest mental disorders are difficult to manage, especially for inexperienced owners. If the dog is small in size, when he grew up on the pavement ends after a few ruined sofa. If it's great, robust, Temper, it may happen that before ending the worst evil mischief.
ASSOCIATIONS – All the most serious animal welfare organizations, the cats, volunteers, managers of refuges, always, repeated like a mantra what is really necessary: sterilization. Reduce costs of operations and limit births, even in private. The desire for maternity or paternity leave, which so often is attributed to the dog house is a projection of our own, capable of producing damage to the chain. In living with us, in our apartments, there is no longer the natural state, only one session scheduled. The cat, will not see their children grow up and go to college: do not care. While we will have the system problem, without ever being able to really provide for them. An animal is a living being, not a toy.
LIVESTOCK – A separate chapter, deserve herds. Let's talk about trade, of considerable interest. There is no limit to the number of dogs and cats that are 'products' each year, and marketed. In addition, not all will be well: There is an inevitable number of fish less attractive, less healthy. This is a sore point. We must however distinguish. There are officially recognized and regulated activities, and a vastissimo and indistinct fai-da-te. People who breeds and sells home, taking and using animals in inhumane conditions. the rest, just look at the number of ads: the offer is amazing.
Sacrosanct, So, do not buy puppies in stores. But seriously to combat the serious problem of stray and abandoned must be sterilized, we need to focus on legislation that begins to put limits on births.
