This suggests that, in order for Africa to keep its travel and tourism industry healthy, it should focus on the preservation and protection of wild lions and their habitat. http://www.humanespot.org/content/new-poll-americans-want-cameras-aimed-african-lions-not-rifles#comments Public Research Citation General Animal Protection Hunting or Trapping International Research Preservation or Restoration Wildlife Wildlife and Exotics Fri, 19 Aug 2011 08:45:00 -0700 Carol L.

The study authors suggest cultured meat could reduce environmental damage, conserve wildlife, provide food access for human populations, and improve animal welfare. http://www.humanespot.org/content/environmental-impacts-cultured-meat-production#comments Public Research Citation Animal Welfare or Living Conditions Biotechnology Data and Statistics Diet and Nutrition Environment Factory Farming Farmed Animals Food Trends General Animal Protection International Research Vegetarian Food Products or Substitutes Vegetarianism and Veganism Fri, 29 Jul 2011 08:45:00 -0700 Carol L.

The results of this five question survey are presented cumulatively as well as regionally. http://www.humanespot.org/content/results-purina-pet-survey#comments Public Research Citation Companion Animals International Research Pet Ownership Tue, 14 Jun 2011 08:45:00 -0700 Kmunsell 4244 at http://www.humanespot.org http://www.humanespot.org/content/wildlife-consumption-rampant-hcm-city A poll of the residents of Ho Chi Minh (HCM) City found that consumption of food, beverage, and medicinal products made from wild animals is common; more than half of all residents polled said they consume such products at least three times per year. In addition, secondary students in HCM City were questioned and, in general, the consumption of wild animal products was found to be related to social pressures, habits, and tastes. http://www.humanespot.org/content/wildlife-consumption-rampant-hcm-city#comments Public Research Citation Food Trends International Research Meat, Dairy, Egg Consumption Wildlife Wildlife and Exotics Wed, 08 Jun 2011 11:45:00 -0700 Kmunsell 4234 at http://www.humanespot.org http://www.humanespot.org/content/impact-acute-clinical-mastitis-cow-behaviour Observation of six cows with acute endotoxin mastitis and analysis of milk samples from each, led a team of researchers to conclude that cows do not exhibit typical sickness behavior like lying down. Instead, when inflicted with this condition, the cows spent less time lying down and more time eating silage. These cows also ruminated less frequently and drank less when the udder was significantly swollen, leading researchers to conclude that pain in the udder overrides the "motivational state" of the cow's illness behavior. http://www.humanespot.org/content/impact-acute-clinical-mastitis-cow-behaviour#comments Public Research Citation Factory Farming Farmed Animals Farming Practices International Research Meat, Dairy, Egg Consumption Tue, 07 Jun 2011 08:45:00 -0700 Kmunsell 4233 at http://www.humanespot.org http://www.humanespot.org/content/vegephobia-derogatory-discourses-veganism-and-reproduction-speciesism-uk-national-newspapers An examination of references to veganism within United Kingdom national newspapers from the year 2007 found that in general, newspapers from this era discredited veganism through the portrayal of derogatory stereotypes. The end result of such bias resulted in a manifestation termed herein as "vegaphobia." http://www.humanespot.org/content/vegephobia-derogatory-discourses-veganism-and-reproduction-speciesism-uk-national-newspapers#comments Public Research Citation International Research Psychology, Social Development, Social Motivations Vegetarian Social, Psychological and Moral Development Vegetarian Motivations or Barriers Vegetarian Population Vegetarianism and Veganism Mon, 06 Jun 2011 13:19:14 -0700 Kmunsell 4228 at http://www.humanespot.org http://www.humanespot.org/content/perspectives-and-challenges-eu-egg-sector This survey of eight members states of the European Union (EU) presents an overview of the differences in egg production and housing systems currently in use among these countries, as well as long term forecasts of egg production.
