The wild dog (aka painted dog or hunting dog) is one of the most endangered predators in the world. There are only an estimated 3,000-5,000 of these carnivores left in Africa.
After being hunted as a pest, caught in traps left for the bush meat trade, and being pushed out of their own territory by the population growth, the wild dog is in serious trouble.
But we CAN help.
Conservation efforts are taking place right now to ensure this dog stays around or some time. Please support animal conservation and keep the wildlife alive!

"Painted Dog Conservation" http://www.painteddog.org

"Predator Conservation Trust" http://www.predatorconservation.com

"African Wild Dog Conservancy" http://www.awdconservancy.org

Please help the dogs today,
(for instance I spent $25 of my rebate check and adopted a wild dog from the AWF. Click on the link below to find out how.
African Wildlife Foundation http://www.awf.org

*Canines all around the world are in trouble, whether it is a wolf being legally killed here in the US in the Yellowstone region, a domestic dog being killed for its fur in China, or a wild dog being shot as a pest in Africa, they all need our attention. We as people can do a better job in taking care of man's best friend and his relatives.
Please subscribe to my wildlife videos.
Thank You.-Brian

(I have never been lucky enough to see wild dogs in Africa so all dog footage was from captive dogs at Lincoln Park Zoo, & all other wildlife footage is from Kenya)

  • an interesting ...

    an interesting thought that relies on humans being classed as animals and abiding to equivalent rules of natural selection - we have survived because our intelligence makes us the strongest species on Earth, and you're right that natural selection chose us to survive, but wrong that the present situation isn't minimizing it, humans shouldn't be classed as animals, and their intervention is avoidable - we do things out of luxury and greed while animals only know what is needed to survive.

    No, This is natural selection. Animals get better sight, hearing, strength. They adapt to change they are superior. What do we get? Intelligence, this is our skill. Natural selection, yes we are the top predator of the planet. Natural selection hasn't been minimized, it has just chosen us to survive. Medicine was invented by us. Think of it as an adaptation to disease.
