From A Place To Love Dogs Happier Days For those who have not seen this video from The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee, it is a heartwarming story of an unusual bond between Tarra the elephant and her best friend Bella, who just happens to be a dog.

From the John W Strobel III series, People I’ve Met Along the Way… How does one explain a relationship that is tentative yet appears to be lasting? How do you explain a liaison that has barriers but is destined to remain an enduring, eternal, undying and faithful bond between a dog and a house full [...]]]> http://momentscount.com/archives/9076/feed 1 http://momentscount.com/archives/2569 http://momentscount.com/archives/2569#comments Thu, 14 Jul 2011 06:45:42 +0000 Brooke Leigh Sheldon http://momentscount.com/?p=2569
On one hand, it is arrogant for us to think we are the caretakers of this planet. On another hand, we are the species that has the greatest control over the management of it. And as such, we have undeniable responsibilities. I won’t begin to list those responsibilities here. That subject is too vast for [...]]]> http://momentscount.com/archives/2569/feed 5 http://momentscount.com/archives/8347 http://momentscount.com/archives/8347#comments Thu, 07 Jul 2011 05:04:31 +0000 National Geographic http://momentscount.com/?p=8347

“Teeth of death,” “Shark feeding frenzy,” “The Worst Shark Attack Ever.” It is that time of year again, when the Discovery Channel brings out shows like these as part of its annual “Shark Week” programming. This week of bloody feeding frenzies and vicious shark attacks is part of a larger trend in nature programming.

Below are some excerpts on sex and violence in wildlife films from my book “Shooting in the Wild.” I hope you enjoy them. “Shooting in the Wild” has received extensive coverage in the press, including the Washington Post, ABC Nightline, Good Morning America, and NPR Weekend Edition.

During my life I have been fortunate enough to have had the ability to travel. Nothing crazy mind you, but certainly enough to greatly expand the areas where I could take some time to observe and study the local wildlife and fauna. I remember long ago being in Central America in the Panamanian jungle for [...]]]> http://momentscount.com/archives/5132/feed 0 http://momentscount.com/archives/4998 http://momentscount.com/archives/4998#comments Thu, 02 Dec 2010 06:50:09 +0000 Mark Fraser http://momentscount.com/?p=4998
Wildlife comes in all shapes and sizes and I truly love them all, but let’s face it some species have a bad rap. Carnivores for example seem to suffer from a skewed public image. Let’s talk about that for a moment. Cats are carnivores, and very serious ones at that. When domestic cats are left [...]]]> http://momentscount.com/archives/4998/feed 1 http://momentscount.com/archives/4452 http://momentscount.com/archives/4452#comments Thu, 04 Nov 2010 06:27:28 +0000 Greenpeace http://momentscount.com/?p=4452
By John Burton for Greenpeace In 1949 I became a boy whaler. In the three ‘seasons’ I spent whaling in the Antarctic, I felt no disgust at being a participant in the killing of many Blue, Fin, Sperm and Humpback whale. Nor did any of my fellow crew members, to my recollection, ever question or [...]]]> http://momentscount.com/archives/4452/feed 1
