Everything You Think You Know About Animals Is Wrong. Human beings are the most intelligent, and therefore important, of all the world´s species, right?
We deserve our superior status over other animals because of the following scientific truths: that only humans are self-aware and feel empathy, that we are unique in our abilities to use language and tools, that only we can recognize ourselves in a mirror and understand the passing of time. Idaho Ag-gag Bill Bans Filming Inside Farms After Abuse Video Surfaces. The bill’s sponsor, Idaho state Sen.
Jim Patrick, a Republican from Twin Falls, claimed the bill was crafted in response to a video showing animal rights abuses at a Bettencourt, Idaho, farm that supplies Burger King meat.

A group of retired US vets have just landed in Africa, and their mission is to deter poaching before it contributes to the elimination of endangered species.
Credit: ViralBru The effects of poaching are not to be taken lightly. According to the African Wildlife Foundation, rhinos, elephants, and other types of African wildlife may go extinct in our lifetime. Take, for example, the Black Rhino: populations of this magnificent animal have decreased by 97.6% since 1960.

One way activists in the United States are supporting an end to poaching is by enlisting retired vets to take part in an organization that puts their years of combat training to work overseas.

From dogs and chimps to lions and tigers, animals are held in captivity by humans around the world.

Huge-hearted humans dedicate their lives to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing injured animals to sanctuaries and the wild. And that moment when an animal gets his first taste of real freedom? Chimps Use Spears To Hunt. A troop of chimpanzees in southeastern Senegal are proving to be a continued source of surprise and amazement for primatologists.
Not only do members forge weapons to hunt, making them the only known group to use tools to injure or kill prey, but it turns out that females actually engage in this behavior more than males. This could mean that, unexpectedly, female chimps pioneered tool use for hunting, and that the first weapon-yielding early humans could have also been females.
