I like animals. I like natural history. The travel bit is not the important bit. The travel bit is what you have to do in order to go and look at animals.

History is a people's memory and without a memory man is demoted to the lower animals.

In the long history of humankind (and animal kind too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.

But the fact of the matter is that all scientific evidence would show based upon what we know about this disease that muscle cuts - that is the meat of the animal itself - should not cause any risk to human health.

Great Britain had a much different situation than we do and did here in the United States in that they had literally thousands of infected animals with human health risks. Their infectivity in this disease happened before very much was known about it.

Science is the international language so when we are able to convince countries that good decision-making for human health and animal health is based upon science that's a real success story for us.

As an integral part of the Department of Agriculture the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service monitors our Nation's agriculture to protect against agricultural pests and diseases.

By adopting a wonderful mutt you'll save a life and help reduce animal homelessness while also boosting your chances of a more robust new furry friend as mixed-breed dogs have demonstrated better health and longer life spans than their purebred cousins.

I'm always active in trying to educate people when it comes to eating animal products testing on animals and the health benefits of being vegan although I'm probably not the best person to be talking about the latter at the moment.

I'm not into animal rights. I'm only into animal welfare and health. I've been with the Morris Animal Foundation since the '70s. We're a health organization. We fund campaign health studies for dogs cats lizards and wildlife. I've worked with the L.A. Zoo for about the same length of time. I get my animal fixes!
