Northern Animals in trouble!!

University of Alaska reports sea birds and polar bears are short of food becaus eof the loss of the ice shelf the last 5 years. This is a terrible loss not just for Alaskan people who like polar bears and our other animals. It's a sorrow for all our planet.

yeah, because of the loss of the ice polar bears can't hunt anymore because if they go too close to the ocean, they can get stuck on small pieces of ice. Ice is now too weak and can break when they're on. But they need to get near the ocean to hunt. Of course polar bears can swim but then they loose a lot of energy and must eat. But if they can't hunt anymore, well theyre trapped in a vicious circle bringing them to the extinction.
And it's the same for other polar creatures, with the warming of the earth, their metabolism don't work correctly anymore and there are accidents. It's often the case now for the whales.

i totally understand you, i can't bear such an attitude with animals. There's no reason to act like that.

Very sorry to hear this Heather...animals rely on people to care for them & instead there are so many idiots out there that think an animal is a play thing & can do whatever they want to it-animals have feelings & are more human than the ones that abuse animals!

 

[ORANGATUANG]

Human..i wouldnt call them human i have an better name to call them but i will behave myself and keep it to myself but iam sure you know what i would like to call them..The poor little things i just hope that they died quickly...we have alot of pet shops around my area and one owner i know would spitting chips hearing about this tragedy..

Thought you guys might like to see some better news about animals.

1) Two lion cubs are weighed in Aalborg Zoo, Denmark, Thursday, Oct. 14, 2004. The five day old cubs are a bit of a surprise to the zoo staff, as their mother had only herself become sexually mature, and because a lioness' first litter rarely survives.

2) Sumatran tiger Assiqua top grooms her son Dumai at Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia, Friday, Oct.22, 2004. Tiger cubs Jumilah, Sendiri and Dumai turn one year old this week and are a valuable addition to breeding programs as Sumatrans in the wild only number about 400.

3) A female 85-pound white rhinoceros rests her head on her mother at Busch Gardens in Tampa, Fla., Monday, Oct. 18, 2004. Busch Gardens introduced the baby, born Oct. 12, to their 26-acre habitat on the park's Serengeti Plain.

4) One-year-old Sumatran tiger Dumai plays with its scratching post tagged 'Aussie Dog' in its enclosure during a birthday breakfast at Sydney's Taronga Zoo October 22, 2004. The cub, one of three born in October last year, is a valuable addition to the zoo's tiger breeding program as Sumatran tigers only number about 400 in the wild.

5) A two-day-old Hippopotamus swims at Dusit Zoo in Bangkok Friday, Oct. 22, 2004. It is highly protected by its five-year-old mother 'Mayom.' The baby Hippopotamus's sex still cannot be identified.

You're welcome, Amos and Littledragon.

More animals in the news.

1) A squirrel stands on the ground among fallen leaves in a Moscow park, October 23, 2004.

2) Nyah, a three-year-old boxer, turns to see what's going on behind her while sitting with her owner Casey Whatley during the Capital Area Animal Welfare Society (CAAWS) 25-Year-Celebration Sunday, Oct. 24, 2004, at Forest Park in Baton Rouge, La. The pair won the look-a-like contest.

3) Lusty Koalas in southern Australia are going to be put on the pill to stop them breeding too quickly and putting too much strain on their eucalyptus-forest home. A baby Koala named 'Cooee' is pictured with its mother at Sydney's Taronga Zoo. 10-21-2004

4) Libby Hall from Sydney Taronga Zoo's Rehabilitation Clinic releases a juvenile Southern Giant Petrel bird two kilometres off Sydney Heads September 30, 2004. The Petrel bird, nicknamed 'Unleaded', was found on a south coast beach five weeks ago suffering from malnutrition. After recovering at the zoo, it was released back into the wild in the hope that it would return to its normal habitat in the Southern Ocean and Antarctica.

5) A tiger jumps into a circle of fire before a show at the Siracha zoo, 80 km (50 miles) east of the Thai capital Bangkok, October 5, 2004. The 166 member countries of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) will meet in Thailand for two weeks, from October 2 to 14, to update the trade rules governing some of the world's most charismatic, exploited and economically valuable wildlife species. The tiger trade will be one of the topics discussed during the meeting.
