In California, voters passed a law banning all leg-hold trapping, there has been considerable talk about animal rights. One of this page's readers claimed to have spoke directly with the animals and here are their demands:

Received this as an e-mail asking if I believed it to be true. The sender implied that with my "background" somehow qualified me to give a opinion.

According to the Knight-Rider News Service, the inscription on the metal bands by the U.S. Department of the Interior to tag migratory birds has changed. The bands used to bear the address of the Washington Biological Survey, abbreviated -- Wash. Biol. Surv. -- until the agency received the following letter from a Arkansas camper.

While camping last week I shot one of your birds. I think it was a crow. I followed the cooking instructions on the leg tag and I want to tell you it was Horrible."

Five birds were sitting on a telephone wire. The wind blew and swirled around them when the first little bird shivered and said, "My instincts tell me to fly south." And, he hopped off the wire catching the breeze under his little wings. The second little bird gazed after his friend until he could not see him anymore. The wind blew and swirled around them and the second little bird shivered and said, "My instincts tell me to fly

east." And, off the wire he came, grasping the wind under his wings. The three remaining little birds watched him fly away when the third little bird shouted, "My instincts tell me to fly west" and off he went into the air with a deafening squawk. The fourth little bird rustled his feathers together, preening the tip of his wings and looked up and said, "My instincts tell me to fly north" and off he flew. Several minutes later the last of the little birds (Who was a little hard of hearing) sat on the wire with the cool wind swirling about him and looked around and said "Hum! My end stinks, but it don't tell me where to go".

A NEWLY DISCOVERED CHAPTER IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS HAS PROVIDED THE ANSWER TO "WHERE DO PETS COME FROM?"

Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me
every day. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome here...it
is difficult for me to remember how much you love me."

And God said, "No problem, I will create a companion for you that
will be with you forever, who will be a reflection of my love for
you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me.
Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be,
this new companion will accept you as you are, will love you as
I do, in spite of yourself"

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam.
And it was a good animal. And God was pleased. "Because
I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love
for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you
will call him DOG."

And DOG lived with Adam, was a companion to him and loved him.
And Adam was comforted. And God was pleased. And DOG was
content and wagged his tail. After a while it came to pass that Adam's
guardian angel came to the lord and said, "Lord, Adam has become filled
with pride. He struts and preens like a peacock; he believes he is worthy
of adoration. DOG has indeed taught him that he is loved, but
perhaps to well."

And the Lord said, "No problem, I will create for him a
companion who will be with him forever and who will see him as he is.
The companion will remind him of his limitations, so he will
know that he is not always worthy of adoration."

And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam. And cat would
not obey Adam. And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes, he was
reminded that he was not the Supreme Being. And Adam was
greatly improved; Dog was happy; and Cat didn't
give a hoot one way or another.

Elephant herds post their own sentries. When danger threatens,
the sentry raises its trunk and though it may be as far as a half-mile
away, the rest of the herd is instantly alerted, how this communication
takes place is not understood.

Despite man's fear and hatred of the wolf, it has not been proven
that a non-rabid wolf ever attacked a human.

A squirrel has no color vision, it sees only in black and white.
Every part of its field of vision, however is in perfect focus, not
just straight ahead, as with humans.

Due to a retinal adaptation that reflects light back to the retina,
the night vision of tigers is six times better than that of humans.

Hark to the whimper of the sea-gull;
He weeps because he's not an ea-gull.
Suppose you were, you silly sea-gull,
Could you explain it to your she-gull?

Very rarely will I put a link on Tidbits unless it is very
unusual and then only if it has Animal or Wildlife theme.
But now, with the gigantic leaps and bounds in computer
technology I must let you see for yourself. You can actually
take a picture of yourself thru your computer screen. It is simply
amazing. Don't believe me, see for yourself. (Be sure lady's to pretty
up, lipstick and stuff.) Men comb your hair.
BE SURE TO CLICK ON CAMERA.

Well good people I could add more to this, but I don't want to put you to sleep
or lose any good subscribers. As of this point I only have 22. It would help if
you like TID-BITS to pass it along to your friends. I receive no royalties from
this page. I simply do it for my love for animals. I lay no claim for any of the pictures or articles in TID-BITS. I simply collected them surfing the net and put them together. I only hope they tickled your funny-bone as they have mine. If your have any comments, good or bad please e-mail me at trudge@cfl.rr.com
