A Standardized G‐Banded Karyotype For The Raccoon (Procyon Lotor) Compared With The Domestic Cat, Roscoe Stanyon, Francesca Bigoni, Johannes Weinberg, John Hadidian

Genetics Collection

We propose a standardized karyotype for the raccoon (Procyon lotor; 2n = 38, FN 74) and compare it with that of the domestic cat (2n = 38, FN 72). Numerous chromosomes (12) have similar and sometimes identical G-banding and 14 chromosome pairs have remained intact. Other chromosomes apparently differ by Robertsonian translocations and inversions. The conservation of these karyotypes is remarkable considering that the divergence of procyonids and felids predates 50 million years B.P. However, the common diploid number of 38 is not a primitive retention, as sometimes hypothesized. Instead, cats and raccoons converged on this chromosome number by a …

Animal Well-Being: Key Philosophical, Ethical, Political, And Public Issues Affecting Food Animal Agriculture, Andrew N. Rowan

General – Farm Animal Issues

The history of the intensification of animal agriculture is briefly reviewed together with the developing animal protection reaction to such intensification. The role of philosophers in the growth of the animal protection movement is discussed as well as the changing attitudes of the general public towards animals and animal protection.

Farm Animal Campaign

We would like to draw your attention to what we understand are the practices of one of your suppliers -- Long Prairie Packing Company of Long Prairie, Minnesota. We have been told that they, unlike other major processing plants, continue to shackle and hoist conscious cattle upside-down when such painful and outdated methods can and should be replaced with the ASPCA pen or upright restrainer systems.

Sow Preference For Farrowing-Crate Width, P. A. Phillips, David Fraser, B. K. Thompson

Housing and Confinement of Farm Animals Collection

A preference-testing apparatus was designed to provide sows with continuous access to three farrowing crates of different widths. The crates radiated from a central hub area sufficiently large for sows to enter or leave any crate freely. In exp. 1, nine sows were offered crates of 450-, 600- and 750-mm width at standing height. In exp. 2, 12 sows were offered widths of 450, 750 and 1200 mm, the largest being of sufficient width for the sow to turn around. Video recording was used to determine sow position from 3 d before to 6 d after farrowing. In exp. 1, …

Letter From Henry Spira To Harvey Potkin, Henry Spira

Farm Animal Campaign

We deeply appreciate your prompt and thoughtful actions regarding the implementation of upright restrainer technology at Federal Beef's North Dakota facilities. As you know, these systems represent a quantum leap in more humane processing of cattle.

Letter From Harvey Potkin To Henry Spira, Harvey Potkin

Farm Animal Campaign

Mr. Chernin telephoned today to advise me of receipt of my letter to him. He further stated that he will be looking at acquiring from John Morrell & Co. two restrainer boxes presently at their closed Sioux Falls facility. If he is able to consummate the purchase, he intends to install them at the Federal Beef, Fargo, N.D., facility. He believes that the installation can be completed over a weekend. In the event these restrainers are either unavailable or not a proper fit fer the Fargo plant, he is committed to resolve the issue another way. He has promised to …
