| | Introduced Wild Animals :: Animals Australia federation of animal welfare and animal rights |
 | | Head shooting of animals, causing instant death, is generally agreed to be the least inhumane method of killing a wild animal. ; Shooting is the method currently favoured by governments and farmers for larger animals such as goats, horses and other ex-farm animals. | | | Introduced wild species which compete with humans, occupying niches we would prefer were occupied by domestic plants or animals or by native species which we value, are often described as “feral pests” or “invasive species”. | | | Following removal of existing populations of animals, and careful consideration of the impact on native animals, gradual removal of the outback water supply would prevent virtually all species of introduced wild animals from repopulating the arid zone. |

| | Desert Animal Survival - DesertUSA |
| | Some predatory and scavenging animals can obtain their entire moisture needs from the food they eat (e.g., Turkey Vulture) but still may drink when water is available. | | | Many animals are completely nocturnal, restricting all their activities to the cooler temperatures of the night. | | | Equally ingenious are the diverse mechanisms various animal species have developed to acquire, conserve, recycle, and actually manufacture water. |

| | Wild Animals As Pets |
| | Wild animals, if they are to survive in captivity, often require highly specialized care. | | | Captivity is not natural and is a constant stress to a wild animal. | | | People commonly see young animals, such as a fawn, in the woods and think they have been abandoned by their parents. |

| | Furthermore, wild and exotic animals carry a number of diseases that are transmissible to humans, including rabies, tuberculosis, hepatitis, tularemia, leptospirosis, salmonella, and ringworm, and other parasites. | | | These wild animals also bring diseases to which domestic or native wild animals have no immunity, such as deadly Newcastle disease, rabies, and brucellosis. | | | The mongoose soon turned to feasting on other crops and on other animals, thereby pushing a number of native species to near-extinction. |

| | Mistress of Wild Animals |
| | The necklace plaques, decorated with the Mistress of Animals from the second half of 7th century BCE, are presenting her with wings in a daedalic style, surrounded by lions or with a body of bees without company of the animals. | | | Mistress of the Wild Animals (Potnia theron) or Queen of the Wild Bees, appears under many names. | | | The Mycenaeans adopted the iconographical type of Mistress of Animals and used it besides the goddess of nature, who was represented with vegetation, mainly palms and papyrus flowers. |

| | Although it is known that wild herds can become infected with Tb, results from specific hunter surveys in Manitoba and Alberta, and the capture and testing of wild animals for domestic and zoological purposes indicate that the disease is still not common in wild animals in Canada. | | | Animals are more likely to infect each other when they share a common watering and feeding place. | | | Bovine tuberculosis is not a naturally occurring disease in wild animals. |

| | America's horses, both wild and domesticated, are under attack. | | | Last year, Congress stripped more than three decades of protections for wild horses and burros; the government now has the authority to sell wild horses, those symbols of the American West, to commercial interests who can then have the animals slaughtered. | | | Likewise, overseas demand for horse meat has led to a parade of American equines entering one of the three foreign-owned horse slaughterhouses in the United States. Fortunately, Congress is circling the wagons around U.S. horses with bills to stop this senseless slaughter. Urge your representative and senators to support these bills. |

| | Others breed birds because they want to supplement their income, or because they enjoy bringing new life into the world. | | | Some do it as a ill-conceived solution for un-petlike wild breeding behaviors. | | | As their parrots reach maturity and start to show aggression, many people find it easier to place them in "breeding situations" to produce more temporarily sweet babies than it is to work to understand and tolerate their birds' natural behaviors or their frustrations with their artificial captive life. |

| | Captive Wild Animals |
| | Wild animals in captivity generally live in extremely stressful environments; they are removed from their natural habitats and confined to small spaces, separated from their social/family group and subjected to interaction with humans, and often fed diets that do not meet their nutritional needs. | | | Wild animals will always behave in instinctual and unpredictable ways. | | | Add to this training that is frequently abusive and may include frequent beatings and food deprivation, and you have a dangerous and potentially explosive situation. |
