Woman from Scotland was attacked by cheetahs

Sensei Fun and Knowledge; A sequence of photos taken by a tourist from Scotland on Saturday, April 28, shows the man's wife on the ground, hair flying, blood on her neck, with two cheetahs nearby.  The Port Elizabeth Herald reported Friday that Violet D’Mello of Aberdeen, Scotland, was attacked by cheetahs on April 28 while in a petting pen with the animals at a game reserve near Port Elizabeth in southeastern South

Africa. It says she was attacked while trying to protect young children from another group that was in the enclosure at the same time. Her husband took photos of the attack, which were published by the local newspaper and others.  One of the photos taken by Archie D’Mello shows Violet D’Mello smiling and posing with a cheetah raised by humans in the enclosure, before, as she told the Herald, “it became serious very quickly.” One of two cheetahs in the enclosure first grabbed a young girl, leaving her with

scratches and cuts that needed stitches, the Herald reported. D’Mello tried to calm the child and her brother, and ended up also being attacked. She told the BBC she had numerous bite and puncture marks, and that her scalp was “sliced open.” The cheetahs “weren’t being vicious. You could tell they were just excited,” Violet D’Mello told the Herald. The Herald said park staff and other visitors pulled the cats off. The D’Mellos continued their holiday in South Africa. Source; Sensei Fun and Knowledge, Source: Image

Vietnam’s tiger population halved to less than 50

Hanoi (dpa) – The number of wild tigers in Vietnam shrank from 100 a decade ago to fewer than 50, an official said Friday. “Illegal poaching and the wildlife trade are the main reasons leading to a sharp decline in tiger numbers,” said Le Xuan Canh, director of the Institute for Ecology and Biological Resources. “Deforestation has also badly affected the living habitat of tigers.” Canh said the cats, all of them Indochina tigers, were now living in a 9,300-square-kilometre area in six provinces of Vietnam. Vietnam signed commitments to protect the species, their prey and habitat at the International Tiger Forum held last year in St Petersburg. The goal is to increase the world’s tiger population by 2022 to 7,000 from the current 3,200. Scientists urged authorities at a meeting organized by the Department of Forest Management Thursday to speed up the process of protecting endangered species, including tigers, the state-run newspaper Viet Nam News reported.Source: Bikya Masr, Image: https://www.flickr.com

14,000 cats and dogs vaccinated in Sikkim

Gangtok,  December   7,  2011,  Sikkim  Anti  -  Rabies  and  Animal   Health (SARAH) under its recent mass vaccination program which was held from 29th of August till 30th September vaccinated about 14,000 cats and dogs across state. SARAH had a target of covering about 20-22,000 dogs and cats this year but due to the jolting of the earthquake on 18/9 the shortfall of about 7-8,000 was recorded. While speaking to Dr. Thinley N Bhutia  of   SARAH  informed  that   the  mass  vaccinating  this  year  was   a success but due to earthquake the target set was not achieved. The program conducted covered all the districts across state and was also able to cover about 70% of the villages. Adding more Dr. Thinley stated that apart from carrying out the vaccination program in the camps set by SARAH even organized awareness camps for the general public on topics like animal welfare, public health, rabies control, responsible pet ownership and many more. Dr. Thinley mentioned that during the vaccination program this year SARAH in the camp even carried out treatment of the pets brought on anti flea and anti tick as well and added that by doing such treatment they can prevent many diseases like zoonatic diseases like worm infestation, protozal and other viral diseases in the dogs and cats which holds the potential of public health hazard as preventive measures. Informing about the mass vaccination so far since establishment of SARAH in state said that a total of 70,000 vaccinations on dogs and cats in state have been covered so far since 2009-10 when the mass vaccination program started in state. Source: iSikkim,

AIDS researched aided by fluorescent cats

 .     AIDS research uses cats.

By Luiz Sanchez, CAIRO: In the latest string of research to combat the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, better known as AIDS, American researchers have inserted a fluorescent protein known as GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein) in cats to monitor the activity of altered genes which scientists say are more resilient to the feline form of AIDS. GFP is a naturally occurring protein in Jellyfish. “We did it to mark cells easily just by looking under the microscope or shining a light on the animal,” said Dr Eric Poeschla, from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. The antiviral gene originates from a rhesus macaque, and works by producing a type of protein known as a restriction factor, which can resist AIDS-causing viruses affecting other types of animals. Once extracted, the AIDS resisting gene and the GFP gene were then placed in to feline eggs by a team of American and Japanese scientists. The results were very positive, with most cats that were born carrying the genetic marker and modification showing the production of these proteins throughout their bodies. The Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) was found to replicate itself less in the cats that carried these modifications. FIV is similar to the HIV in that it works by eradicating the infection fighting T-cells. On both cases, the T-cells fight off infections but are found to be useless against the viruses. Certain monkeys however, have shown to contain differing versions of the restriction factors which are able to combat the viruses.
