    Mascotas perdidas Desde que se inició el plan en el año 2004, la Municipalidad de Las Condes ha colocado alrededor de 14.000 chips de identificación a perros y gatos de la comuna. El sistema corrobora día a día su éxito: cientos de mascotas han sido recuperadas gracias a este dispositivo, el que permite acceder a información importante del animal, quién es su dueño y la dirección de dónde pertenece, en caso de extravío. "El programa es muy efectivo, dando la posibilidad de que los dueños se reencuentren con sus mascotas", explica el Jefe del Departamento de Higiene Ambiental, Raúl Váldes. Todos los vecinos de Las Condes que acrediten residencia en la comuna pueden optar a este servicio, el que es completamente gratuito. El chip se coloca de manera subcutánea y es indoloro. Para la instalación usted debe dirigirse a Alexander Fleming 9809, de lunes a viernes, de 09:30 a 12:30 hrs. Más informaciones en el teléfono 212 33 95. Asimismo, usted puede utilizar la sección "Mascotas Perdidas"- ubicada en el home del portal municipal, www.lascondes.cl, para reforzar la búsqueda de su perro o gato.

  • Parvo is preventable and treatable and every animal shelter has an obligation to both prevent and treat this disease.  Parvo in shelters is prevented through the practice of vaccination prior to or immediately upon intake, good housing practices and standard disease prevention cleaning protocols.  The disease is further prevented by ensuring the community’s dog owners have easy access to low cost vaccinations for their pets.
  • Treatment options for parvo dogs include in-house care if sufficient resources exist to provide isolation and appropriate veterinary care.  If the facility is not equipped to provide treatment, parvo dogs may be transferred to another shelter with appropriate facilities or to a private veterinary clinic.  Donations may be solicited from the public if necessary.  The media can help in educating the public and spreading the word about the shelter’s efforts to save lives.  The days of blanket killing of shelter dogs for parvo or exposure to the disease are over.
  • Killing dogs who have tested positive for parvo without providing treatment is unacceptable.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Killing dogs who have not been tested or treated, who have been “diagnosed” by someone other than a veterinarian, who are asymptomatic but have been exposed or who are merely “suspected” of having the disease is also unacceptable.  What are your local shelter’s protocols for handling parvo dogs?
  • Austin Pets Alive has a ward set up for parvo dogs, run by volunteers.
  • Shelters who fail to vaccinate all animals prior to or immediately upon intake are failing to prevent the spread of disease.
  • Shelters who fail to utilize standard disease prevention cleaning protocols and/or maintain good housing practices are failing to prevent the spread of disease.
  • Prevention and treatment are not luxuries.

Those crops are not corn and soy, grown largely to create hyper-processed food or animal feed (and in turn animal products), but an increasing variety of plants that can be directly eaten by humans.

    More on Milk By MARK BITTMAN Mark Bittman on food and all things related. TAGS: DAIRY, DIETS, MILK Not surprisingly, experiences like mine with dairy, outlined in my column of two weeks ago, are more common than unusual, at least according to the roughly 1,300 comments and e-mails we received since then. In them, people outlined their experiences with dairy and health problems as varied as heartburn, migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, eczema, acne, hives, asthma ("When I gave up dairy, my asthma went away completely"), gall bladder issues, body aches, ear infections, colic, "seasonal allergies," rhinitis, chronic sinus infections and more. (One writer mentioned an absence of canker sores after cutting dairy; I realized I hadn't had a canker sore - which I've gotten an average of once a month my whole life - in four months. Something else to think about.) Although lactose intolerance and its generalized digestive tract problems are well documented, and milk allergies are thought to affect perhaps 1 percent of the American population, the links between milk (or dairy) and such a broad range of ailments has not been well studied, at least by the medical establishment. RELATED Mark Bittman: Got Milk? You Don't Need It Yet if you speak with people who've had these kinds of reactive problems, it would appear that the medical establishment is among the last places you'd want to turn for advice. Nearly everyone who complained of heartburn, for example, later resolved by eliminating dairy, had a story of a doctor (usually a gastroenterologist) prescribing a proton pump inhibitor, or P.P.I., a drug (among the most prescribed in the United States) that blocks the production of acid in the stomach. But - like statins - P.P.I.s don't address underlying problems, nor are they "cures." They address only the symptom, not its cause, and they are only effective while the user takes them. Thus in the last few days I'

  • They were cut down by so-called “environmentalists.” They were killed by those whose mission was supposed to be their protection. According to the local chapter of the Audubon Society, the trees were not “native” and had to be destroyed.
  • Invasion Biologists
  • believe that certain plants or animals should be valued more than others if they were at a particular location “first.”
  • ...23 more annotations...
  • When the species that were there “first” are competing for habitat with a species that came later, they assert that the latter should be eradicated
  • In championing such views, the movement paradoxically has embraced the use of traps, poisons, fire, and hunting, even when these cause harm, suffering, and environmental degradation
  • In San Francisco, on the Channel Islands, all across the United States, plants and animals are being trapped, poisoned, hunted, burned, and destroyed by people who claim the mantel of environmentalism
  • And it is getting worse and increasingly violent, both in rhetoric (fish they don’t value are called “missiles with fins”) and in deeds.
  • Even the science writer for the New York Times has weighed in, suggesting mass killing and the eating of animals that do not pass the arbitrary litmus test of worthiness by environmentalists.
  • In a losing battle to return North America to a mythical state that existed before European colonization, they are proposing a slaughter with no end.
  • Is this really what environmentalism should be?
  • To assert that the world must remain as it is today and to act on that assertion by condemning to death those species who threaten that prevailing order, does not reject human interference in the natural world, it reaffirms it. 
  • An authentic environmentalism would not advocate that humans seek out and destroy living things for simply obeying the dictates of the natural world, such as migration and natural selection. 
  • It would not condone the killing of those plants and animals who find themselves in parts of the world where, for whatever arbitrary reason—be they economic, commercial, or aesthetic—some humans do not want them to be. An authentic environmentalism would recognize that such determinations are not for us to make, because in seeking to undo what nature inevitably does, we merely exacerbate suffering, killing and the destruction of natural places we claim to oppose, with no hope of ever gaining the ends we seek. It is to declare an unending war on nature and our home.
  • we put all living creatures, including ourselves, in danger as well
  • And just as disturbing, we open the floodgates of expression to our darker natures, by teaching others disdain and suspicion of the “foreign” and reverence for the familiar and the “native.”
  • The same forces of nature which created the world we live in today are shaping it even now.
  • Our actions, and our presence, being as much a part of that system as any other living thing that ever was, will shape and mold how that future will look
  • Yet there is no compelling reason to assert that any one outcome would be more preferable than any other.
  • Why is the starling less worthy of life and compassion than the spotted owl?
  • Why does the carp swimming gracefully in a Japanese Zen garden inspire peace and serenity, but when swimming with the same grace and beauty in Lake Michigan, such horror, disdain, and scorn?  Because some humans among us say it is so? Because they impact narrow aesthetic or commercial interests?
  • As perhaps the most intelligent and without a doubt the most resourceful species yet to evolve on our planet, humans have a moral obligation to ensure that we use our unique abilities for good, and not harm.
  • We are obligated to consider how our actions impact the other earthlings who share our home. And to determine, with all of our gifts of intellect and compassion, how we can meet our needs in the most generous and considerate means possible.
  • Sadly, as a species, we have yet to comprehensively and collectively determine how we might do this.
  • But that, in truth, is our most solemn duty, and the end every environmentalist should be seeking.
  • On a tiny planet surrounded by the infinite emptiness of space, in a universe in which life is so exceedingly rare as to render every blade of grass, every insect that crawls, and every animal that walks the Earth an exquisite, wondrous rarity, it is breathtakingly myopic, arrogant, and quite simply inaccurate to label any living thing found anywhere on the planet which gave it life as “alien” or “non-native.”  There is simply no such thing as an “invasive” species.
  • We must turn our attention away from the futile effort to hold or return our environment to some mythic state of perfection that never existed toward the meaningful goal of ensuring that every life that appears on this Earth is welcomed and respected as the glorious, cosmic miracle it actually is.

  • What they found is that dogs, their worldwide numbers estimated at 500million,
  • can cause more damage to wildlife and livestock than wolves and other apex predators.
  • One study cited by Young concluded through genetic testing that dogs - not wolves, as originally suspected - were responsible for a rash of livestock killings in the mountainous Basque country between Spain and France.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Despite widespread dog-lead laws and local legislation permitting prosecution of dog owners whose pets chase wildlife, violators are rarely punished because enforcement agencies are understaffed and underfunded, according to the paper.
  • public dog-training programs
  • Those range from
  • to vaccinating dogs against rabies and distemper.
