Culling is necessary to sustain the herd We must maintain the balance between deer numbers and the environment, says David KenyonCulling is essential for the health of the national herd. It maintains the balance between deer numbers and the environment they live in. If there are too many deer, they eat out the understorey of the woods, so there's nowhere for other mammals and birds to roost. It can be bad for the deer too: when densities get too high, they can become diseased.Red stags are in season and as long as the stalker was the landowner, or had the permission of the landowner, and used a legal calibre rifle, then no laws were broken in shooting this stag.Deer managers try to preserve the best animals, as they are most likely to survive the winter. It helps maintain a healthy, fit herd. The issue with this stag being shot now is that the rut hasn't really started and he won't be able to pass on his genes this year. Not all reach the size and superb antler formation that this stag did. It had reached his prime.The landowners may have spotted another good stag and decided to let that one have an undisturbed run at the hinds this year. But if you're going to make that decision, you should have made it last year. Trophy hunting does happen. A landowner might want a stag shot and people are willing to pay £500 to do it. The deer gets culled, the venison goes into the food chain, and the chap goes off with his trophy, has it stuffed, and puts his hats on it.People get to know these deer, but most in the countryside understand the need to cull them. The key to sustainability is for the herd to be culled in accordance with an agreed plan, which does not remove all the top animals and which is sympathetic to the needs of the herd, including the opportunity to rut without undue disturbance.David Kenyon, British De 我々は、鹿の数と環境とのバランスを維持しなければならない、デビッドKenyonCullingは、国家群の健康のために不可欠であると言います

Radiation detected in spinach, milk in Japan Japaense health officials said Saturday that radiation levels in spinach and milk from farms near the tsunami-scarred Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant exceed government safety limits.
The Science and Technology Ministry said also that miniscule amounts of radioactive iodine have been detected in the tap water in Tokyo and the prefectures neighboring Fukushima in the first sign that contamination from the stricken nuclear complex had seeped into the food chain.

US agency rules out health threat from oil dispersants Dispersants used to break up crude leaking from a ruptured Gulf of Mexico oil well are not likely to accumulate in seafood and affect humans, the US Food and Drug Administration said.In a letter released Friday addressing concerns raised by a US lawmaker, the regulatory body said it was highly unlikely that the chemicals used to break up spilled crude into small particles would enter the food chain. 分散剤は、原油破裂メキシコ湾の石油からの漏れを破るにも可能性が高い魚介類に蓄積し、人間に影響を及ぼす、米国食品医薬品局は、管理said.In文字金曜日の懸念を、米国の議員が提起addressing解放されません使用、規制体それが強く化学物質が小さな粒子に食物連鎖を入力します
Burger King could be snapped up by private equity firm Burger King has been hard hit by the global financial slowdown, with sales under pressure in the US from rising jobless numbers and declining consumer confidenceThe global craze for mergers and acquisitions may be about to grab a takeaway, with speculation that Burger King has been in talks with a potential private equity buyers.The 55-year-old chain has been owned by buyout specialists before: it was spun out of then owner Diageo in 2002 by Texas Pacific, Bain Capital and Goldman Sachs in a $1.5bn deal (£950m at the time). They floated the company four years later and still own just under a third of it. Burger King currently has 12,000 restaurants in more than 75 countries.According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, Burger King is in talks with a number of potential buyers including Britain's 3i Group. Burger King was unavailable for comment while a spokesman for 3i declined to comment.Burger King has been hard hit by the global financial slowdown, with sales under pressure in the US from rising jobless numbers and declining consumer confidence. Last week the company said its worldwide sales this year were down 2.3% – compared with an increase of 1.2% last year. Sales in North America were down 3.9%. Bitter rival McDonald's, however, has fared better, saying global sales in the second quarter were up 4.8%, with US sales up 3.7%. Burger King is currently valued at $2.26bn (£1.46bn).UK-based 3i is an obvious possible partner for Burger King, having helped turn around other well known brands that had fallen on hard times including the Early Learning Centre, Ben Sherman and outdoor and camping gear retailer Millets.

Oil spill raise arsenic levels in ocean: study (2) The scientists say their work demonstrates how the chemistry of sediments in the Gulf of Mexico may be affected by the current oil leak.
Arsenic is a poisonous chemical element found in minerals and it is present in oil. High levels of arsenic in seawater can enable the toxin to enter the food chain. It can disrupt the photosynthesis process in marine plants and increase the chances of genetic alterations that can cause birth defects and behavioral changes in aquatic life.

Haiti must call on survival spirit Haitians are expert in survival against all odds. They now need this more than everHaiti is famously the poorest country in the western hemisphere, by any material measure, though (less famously) culturally the richest. Today it is tempting to yield to the feeling that the country is also simply accursed. In the last few years, Haiti's 200-year history of political violence and instability has given way to a catastrophic series of natural disasters, including four devastating hurricanes in one year alone. Now this.Founded by the only successful slave revolution in the history of the western hemisphere, Haiti has been a pariah state since its independence in 1804. The US and European powers surrounding it maintained slave regimes until the mid-19th century, and had no aid or comfort for an independent black nation in their midst.More recently it has been in the interest of the forces of globalisation to keep Haiti at the bottom of the economic food chain, at the bottom of the western hemisphere's wage scale. In serving those interests, foreign powers, notably the US right wing, have interfered perniciously in its internal affairs, contributing, since 1990, to the overthrow of two elected governments.To the extent that the interests of globalisation are responsible for global warming, even the hurricanes may be blamed on them. But no one has yet found a way to trace an earthquake to political, economic or human agency.What does it mean? First of all, thousands have died: those who migrated, once 200-year-old subsistence agriculture practices proved unable to support them, from the deforested and eroded countryside to the shantytowns of the capital. Many thousands more will die in the days to come, thanks to Haiti's lamentably inadequate infrastructure, which ensures help ハイチのすべての不利な状況での生存率の専門家です
