Welcome to the visitor from the city West
Orange New Jersey
to my Breanne's posting
And the Sachem Speaks site
on the hawk moths (macroglossum
stellatarum).
Notice that our information came from the University of Florida, Go Gators.
Breanna does not like sharing, if you do not believe me, ask Ziek!

Deland woman's dog injured in scuffle with black bear
Floridians, put your trash into a good
sealed container and wildlife will not smell your unused food!
First thing to notice would be that this
young German Shepherd (The German Shepherd aka Alsatian and Alsatian Wolf Dog),
is a breed of large-sized dog that originated in Germany, was not on a dog
leash, by law should have been.
Yes, the dog may have been trying to
protect the teenager and yes the dog went looking for a fight.
What would you, as a parent of two young
children do if for instance a large young dog came running up to them looking
for trouble?
Well this is what has been going on for
some time now in Florida as the wildlife keeps being push out of this, there
land.
Adult bears must deal with their cubs being
hit by traffic or shot by gun happy Floridians, now they must also deal with
angry pets looking to do battle.
Checking out this article you will notice
that all three bears ran into a tree, bears will not initiate an attack and
will only battle enough to remove the attacker from their cubs in danger or the
food, proof of this is that the dog is still alive?

Dolphin Deaths is from Virtual smallpox
(1) ~ Virtual infection caused the death of Dolphins
along the east coast
(2) ~ A Crocodile ate both of my feet and one hand, so
the doctors put a Band-Aid on my head?
So which statement is only half true?
Both statements are only about half true.
Once upon a time a doctor put a Band-Aid on my head.
Some type of virus may have a little to do with all of
those animals from New York to the Carolina's deaths.
The whole truth that Scientist, farmers, the Media,
lobbyist, chemical companies, and manufactures do not wish to admit is,
their polluting the land with chemicals and it is running off into our lakes,
streams, rivers and oceans killing not only fish and mammals but the seaweed
food that feeds everything from plankton to whales in the chain of life!
Dolphin Deaths Virtual smallpox along the shores of
the east coast states our Scientist?
What's killing all those dolphins?
NOAA thinks it's a virus?
The five affected states are
New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia.
North Carolina has also seen an increase in dolphin stranding, according to
NOAA.
As of Sunday, there have been 488 dolphin stranding
from New York to North Carolina, more than 300 dolphins above the annual
average.
NOAA found that 32 dolphins were either
"suspect or confirmed positive for
mobillivirus."
Measles-like virus may be cause of dolphin deaths on
US coast
Since July 1, 333 bottlenose dolphins have been found
dead along coastlines from New York to North Carolina, the highest number in a
quarter-century and almost 10 times the average of 33 for the same period and
region over the last five years, according to Teri Rowles of the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Number of Farms by State, 2001–2007
The following table shows the number of operating
farms in each of the United States.
Number of farms just along the east coast from NY to SC
and this is only 2007
This can only report about ones that the census
has?
What about the thousands not reported and the chemical
companies, paper factories and mills also dumping runoff?
Don't forget about Nuclear, Oil, Gas and Coal power plants their runoff is constant day & night.

Maryland 12,000
New Jersey 9,800
New York 34,200

South Carolina 24,700
Virginia 47,100
I am including Florida because we are also losing
Manatees from this runoff!
And Florida has Sugar Mills.
Florida 40,000 farms.

A Brown/Black Labrador Retriever attacked a Black Bear
Lake Mary Seminole County Florida, the home of our
wildlife like our beautiful dossal black bears is, like so many counties, being
overrun by humans and their unleashed pets.
Last year an
unleashed pet (Labrador Retriever) attacked a black bear wandering around
looking for food.
After the unleashed dog annoyed the bear for awhile
the bear swiped it out of the way.
This unleashed dog will not try the patience of a bear
weighing ten times that of a dog anytime soon?
The unleashed Lab has just enough scratches on its
face to learn not to pick a fight with a bear.
If this bear wished, it could have ended the life of
the pet however, the bear only wanted the unleashed pet to mind its own
business.
Now, as always, the humans want to blame the bear and
have it moved or worse. How about not allowing a trouble maker pet to run free?
Black Bear's are being abused one way or another in
Seminole county far too much as is.
Remember, our Black Bears are the endangered species,
not the Labrador Retriever?
Bear struck by vehicle, killed in Lake Mary
Bear struck, killed on I-4 in Seminole County
Trio of bears seen in Lake Mary tree
The pet was not on a leash, get it?

Threatened gopher tortoises to be relocated
Threatened gopher tortoises to be relocated to make
way for Wekiva Trail
Saving these 150 tortoise should not cost $200,00 to
relocate?
It is only about a 3 mile stretch of land some 10 feet
wide?
If the towns want to spend that much money, save
the extra and build that short stretch of trail up a little so that animals can
live and/or just go under?
Personnel I would rather be able to enjoy the turtles
as with the rest of the wildlife while biking the trail?
This is the reason and seems to be the only reason the
professional's can give for spending this much money and terrorizing the poor
tortoises?
(Amy Daley of CPH Engineers is in charge of finding
the tortoises a new home.
"Well according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Commission Conservation regulations, gopher tortoises are a threatened species
here in the state of Florida," Daley said)?
So what, does this mean the only choice in moving
them?
I think not.
The proposed Wekiva Trail is to be a 15-mile,
multi-use trail that will provide hikers, cyclists and nature enthusiasts a
regional connection between Lake, Seminole and Orange Counties, 3 miles for the
gopher.
This, I am sure that most of us will agree is a good
thing because it will give many more people a safer place to help get healthier
without fear of being run over while on a roadway?
Remember that this is a trail and that the 15 miles to
be added for connecting towns has many endangered Gopher Tortoises around but
for only 3 of those miles?
I say this because it would seem to me that moving
them a few feet while building this trail would be more than enough?
Why not build the fence first then the trail?
Any or all power and water lines can run along side of
that 3 miles and also up and under for protection of the lines?
This trail will provide a way to the shops,
restaurants and cultural destinations of the City of Mount Dora, and connect
existing trails to thousands of acres of preservation land and destinations
such as Rock Springs Run and the Wekiwa Springs State Park. Construction would
extend the trail from Altamonte Springs to the Orange County line near Bear
Lake Road and Maitland Boulevard.
You haven't lived until you can sit at the dining room
table and just watch Harriett sun herself and/or eat.
