Ervin Carlson is the Blackfeet Nation Bison Program manager and President of the Intertribal Buffalo Council (ITBC;
For tens of thousands of years buffalo fundamentally shaped Native american cultures and engineered the ecology of prairie ecosystems.
More than any other species the buffalo American bison or iiniiwa in Blackfoot linked native people to the land provided food
Following the great slaughter of the 19th century the buffalo has been missing from most of these lands and our cultures.
There is growing recognition that the absence of buffalo has led to deterioration of the ecological integrity of grasslands diminished the health of our people and led to an incalculable cultural loss.
The Buffalo Treaty represents an important step by native people to practice conservation while preserving our cultures.
We propose that this historic buffalo treaty will be but a first step begun by native people to create a national agenda to bring buffalo home
and enable an important healing for the egregious treatment buffalo received at the turn of the 19th century.
Collapse of the Great plains With the arrival and expansion of European Americans across North america the northern Great plains region has undergone more than a century of fragmentation
This fragmentation has had its greatest impact on highly migratory species like buffalo that require large intact landscapes.
Once numbering in the tens of millions buffalo came to the very brink of extinction due to unsustainable harvest and habitat destruction during the late 1800s.
In what was the first wildlife restoration effort in the world buffalo were saved through the persistent efforts of early conservation champions like Theodore Roosevelt William Hornaday Ernest Thompson Seton
Although these champions did preserve buffalo through their monumental efforts it was primarily on small fenced landscapes.
Ecological restoration will require extensive native prairies that can support free-roaming buffalo that can fulfill their natural ecological role
Remembering Teddy Roosevelt Disappearance of wild buffalo in the Great plains has led to cultural disruption among native people who associate the loss with a national movement to subjugate them.
and wildlife but unfortunately are no longer able to fully express that relationship because of the absence of buffalo.
and cultural relationship with buffalo could inspire a new future for the prairie grasslands and its people.
Native peoples of the northern Great plains are disposed culturally to protecting their homelands connecting with free-roaming buffalo

and the enrichment of tribal cultures In addition as individual tribal buffalo programs emerge it can inspire a national agenda to attempt

Why is Ractopamine in U s. Pork?(Op-Ed) Wayne Pacelle is the president and chief executive officer of The Humane Society of the United states (HSUS.
what happens to the animals that supply us with meat you should care about ractopamine.
But that hasn't stopped the U s. pork industry from feeding it to an estimated 60 percent to 80 percent of American pigs to rapidly boost growth rates.
If you buy pork at your local supermarket chances are that it came from a ractopamine-treated pig.
A few days ago Mcclatchy published a detailed piece on how the American pork industry led by the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) now is demanding that European authorities allow pork from pigs fed ractopamine
The NPPC's attitude appears to be that that the pork industry's profits should trump any concerns about food safety or animal welfare from regulators scientists or consumers.
The pork industry vehemently fights all of our efforts to require the euthanasia of downer pigs perhaps
The dispute over ractopamine speaks to a broader illness in the nation's pork industry.
The pork industry insists on using a dangerous drug and then complains when other nations and American consumers don't want their pork.
They have some sort of expectation that they know best behaving like parents insisting that their unknowing children eat whatever is on their plate.
This reminds me of the pork industry's stubborn refusal to stop using gestation crates coffin-sized crates that confine pregnant sows so tightly that they can't even turn around.
But still the pork industry and especially the NPPC continues to cling to the crates which they are now laughably trying to rebrand as maternity pens.
if she wanted to turn around#Gestation Crates Have No Place in U s. Food Production (Op-Ed) Thankfully this line of thinking now faces a major challenge from within the pork industry with major producers splitting from the NPPC on gestation crates
Now it's time for the pork industry's laggards to step up and for the obstructionists at the NPPC to get out of the way.
Angel wing is a deformity commonly found in ducks geese swans and other waterfowl. There has been little scientific study done on the condition yet most wildlife

Birds with angel wing are stripped of their ability to fly and therefore their main method of defense.
Research such as oft-referenced studies on Canada geese and nutrition for young birds suggest feeding waterfowl an unhealthy diet can accelerate growth causing the wing to develop too quickly for proper bone support.
and operated by The Fund for Animals (an affiliate of The Humane Society of the United states) treats about 2000 animals per year including a significant number of geese swans

Angel wing can be reduced drastically by not feeding birds people food including white bread popcorn or crackers.
and colon-and liver-cleansing schemes to rid the body of harmful chemicals. In this new study a team led by Dr. Thomas Kensler who holds joint positions at Johns hopkins university in Baltimore
Detox schemes fall into three categories liver cleansing colon cleansing and whole body detoxification and each one is flawed based on science.
The liver the primary organ to detoxify chemicals never needs to be cleaned because it doesn't work like the lint filter it's commonly portrayed to be.
The liver detoxifies chemicals by changing their composition into a less-reactive state. Chemicals that the liver can't detoxify simply pass through it unchanged at the risk of harming other organs.
The colon never needs to be cleaned either. The theory of autointoxication in which a dirty colon creates toxins that are reabsorbed into the body was disproved nearly 100 years ago

#Buffalo Facts Water buffalo & Cape buffalo Buffalo are large members of the Bovidae family. There are two types of buffalo:
the African or Cape buffalo and the Asian water buffalo. They are dark gray or black animals that look a lot like bulls.
Buffalo are confused often with bison. Early American settlers called bison buffalo because the animals are similar in appearance.
However while bison are also bovines (a subfamily of bovids) they are in a different genus from true buffalo.
Other bovines include domestic cattle oxen yaks four-horned antelopes bongos and kudus according to the Integrated Taxonomic Information system (ITIS.
It is 8 to 9 feet (2. 4 to 2. 7 meters) from head to rump with its tail adding an extra 2 to 3. 3 feet (60 to 100 centimeters.
The African buffalo is smaller but they are still quite impressive in size. They are 4. 26 to 4. 92 feet long (130 to 150 cm) from head to hoof
The African buffalo is never far from water. They can live in grasslands savannas swamps lowland floodplains mixed forest
Buffalo are social animals and live in groups called herds. Water buffalo herds are segregated by gender.
Young males stay with the maternal herd for about three years and then they join a male herd.
African buffalo herds are mixed mostly of gender. They do have a few all-male herds but these usually consist of old males.
Buffalo are herbivores and so eat only vegetation. Their favorite foods are grass and herbs but water buffalo will also eat aquatic plants.
Both African and Asian buffalo will eat shrubs and trees when they can't find grass
Buffalo like most mammals bear live young which are called calves. Usually they have one calf at a time
while African buffalo live around 26 years. The taxonomy of buffalo according to ITIS is: Water buffalo were domesticated more than 5000 years ago.
Humans use the meat milk horns and leather. Buffalo are used also for transportation and to pull plows.
Wild water buffalo are endangered according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. They have a population of less than 4000 though it is uncertain
what the exact numbers are. The African buffalo is endangered not and has a population of 900000 according to the African Wildlife Foundation.
Male water buffalo have horns that curve backward. These horns can grow to 5 feet (1. 5 meters) long.
African buffalo have a democracy. When they are ready to travel they will stand and turn in the direction they want to go.
African buffalo are very aggressive and have a tendency to attack humans. They are very protective of each other

Chicken's split sex identity revealed: Nature Newsa study of sexually scrambled chickens suggests that sex in birds is determined in a radically different way from that in mammals.
Researchers studied three chickens that appeared to be literally half-male and half-female, and found that nearly every cell in their bodies from wattle to toe has an inherent sex identity.
This cell-by-cell sex orientation contrasts sharply with the situation in mammals, in which organism-wide sex identity is established through hormones.
The confused fowl have upended a century-old rule, established for vertebrates, that all cells in an embryo start off sexually indifferent and remain so until a sex-determining gene directs the development of gonads into either ovaries or testes.
Researchers were alerted first to the chickens by an employee in the poultry industry who spotted the unusual birds while visiting farms.
Instead, they found the chickens to be almost perfectly split between male and female. The hen half was made,
Clinton says the work shows that chickens have a fundamentally different way of determining their sex from mammals:
