Zoonoses, An Animal-Rights Issue?
by
MRivera008@aol.com
Animal
welfare means protecting animals from people, animal control means protecting
the people from the animals. If we can
assuage public concern about diseases that can be transmitted to people by
domestic and wild animals, we may be able to foster tolerance for all
animals.
As
incredible as it seems in this day and age, we all know of someone who still
believes that cats shouldn't be around babies because they “suck the breath out
of the baby”; or that pregnant women must surrender their housecats to shelters
to avoid toxoplasmosis. Not all stray dogs are rabid, not all rodents carry
disease, and not all cat scratches lead to cat-scratch fever.
By
far, it is not contact with wild animals but with our own pets that produce the
most incidences of zoonotic disease transmission. The most common route of zoonoses is bite wounds. Statistics show that 4.7 million people are
bitten by dogs every year in the United States. Of these, approximately 800,000
people require medical intervention. That is, each year 1.8% of the U.S.
population is bitten by a dog, and 0.3% of the U.S. population seeks medical
care for a bite (Centers for Disease Control).
Bite
wounds can lead to serious bacterial infections because of the oral bacteria in
a pets’ mouth. Cat Scratch Fever is
caused by a bacteria called Bartonella Henselea found in cat saliva and on cat
claws. Intestinal worms of pets are also transmissible to people. Roundworms
and hookworms are passed in the feces of infected animals. If ingested by humans, the worms can migrate
through the body (visceral larval migrans).
They generally migrate to the eye, leading to blindness. Toxoplasmosis is a single-celled protozoan. It is of particular consideration to
immunosuppressed people and pregnant women.
The prevailing source of toxoplasmosis in people is from eating
undercooked meat, but it is considered a zoonotic disease because a cat can
contract toxoplasmosis from eating infected raw meat, and pass it on in their
feces. It can then be transmitted to
people who clean their litter boxes, or children who play in areas where
infected cats have defecated. The
simple way to avoid toxoplasmosis is to wear rubber gloves when cleaning a
litter box, or have another family member do it.
Another
prevalent source of zoonotic infections is pet’s skin. Ringworm (which is a fungus, not a worm) can
be passed from pets to people and from people to pets. Zoonotic diseases and the risk of bite
wounds can be reduced by early puppy/kitten socialization, commonsense hygiene
and annual visits to a vet for parasite checks and vaccinations.
Medical
professionals working in human hospitals frequently get prophylactic
vaccinations such as hepatitis, influenza, and tetanus and are routinely tested
for tuberculosis. However, animal-care
workers, with the possible exception of pre-exposure rabies vaccines, do not
normally get vaccinated against zoonotic diseases. Yet, surprisingly, the incidence of zoonoses is relatively small. Veterinarians, and others whose jobs bring
them in close working contact with animals, have no higher degree of the
illnesses of diseases that also occur in animals than the general population
does.
When
an alarming number of persons are diagnosed with the same disease within a
short period of time, an epidemic is declared.
Epizootic is the word we use when the same thing happens to
animals. Because the threat to human
life is so viable, there are several laws in place, which are meant to protect
the general public from diseases that can be passed from animals to humans. Some of these laws cross state lines. Most state laws require diligent reporting
of instances of animal-related diseases in humans. Some of the diseases or conditions are declared so dangerous as
to be a threat to the public health.
Treating physicians and veterinarians, as well as the caregivers of
people and animals who have been found, upon their death, to have had this
disease, are required by law to report the event within 48 hours of the
finding. The list of zoonotic diseases includes 52 major diseases, but not all
of them are subject to government regulations regarding reporting of confirmed
diagnoses of these diseases. Some of the diseases of which some states require
due notification are:
Animal bite by potentially rabid animal
Encephalitis* Anthrax
Food or waterborne diseases Botulism
Hepatitis Giardiasis
Meningitis Hookworm*
Meningococcal Disease Pertussus
Rubella Malaria
Salmonellosis* Rabies
Shigellosis Tetanus
Syphilis Typhus
Tuberculosis Histoplasmosis
* (only if found in human subject)
In
order to keep zoonotic diseases in check, vaccines have been developed to
protect not only domesticated house pets and their owners, but zoo animals and
cattle as well. These vaccines not only
protect the animals, but the animal-care workers who are in close proximity to
large numbers of animals. Most of the vaccines that are offered and used
extensively are done so on a voluntary basis.
The rabies vaccine, however, is a mandatory vaccine in the United
States.
Rabies
is a highly contagious, deadly zoonotic disease. It’s a common misconception that only dogs and raccoons can get
rabies. The truth is any mammal can get
rabies. The most common carriers of rabies are skunks, bats, coyotes and foxes.
However, there are documented cases of rabid horses and cows as well.
If
any disease has fed into the hysteria surrounding diseases that can affect both
human and non-human animals alike, it’s rabies. Known medically as hydrophobia,
rabies is a serious virus infection of the central nervous system, transmitted
by the bite of infected animals. So a certain amount of education is necessary
to avoid any unfortunate end results of this hysteria: the unnecessary and
unwarranted killing of animals who intrude on human territory simply because
they “may have rabies”. A collective,
deeper understanding of rabies and how it is identified and transmitted may go
a long way toward saving the lives of animals who are not infected with the
rabies virus but are at risk for being killed anyway. The two most common of these classes of animals are domestic pets
that bite; and wild animals that appear in and around populated communities.
Rabies
occurs rarely in the United States, but there is still public fear and
substantial prevention efforts continue. The reason for this very serious
effort at prevention is that rabies is always a deadly disease for both humans
and non-human animals. There is no cure
for rabies. The vast majority of rabies cases reported to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) each year occur in wild animals like
raccoons, skunks, bats, and foxes. Domestic animals account for less than 10%
of the reported rabies cases, with cats, cattle, and dogs most often reported
rabid.
There
are two forms of rabies: Furious rabies
largely affects the brain and causes an infected animal to be aggressive or
excitable (the very picture of the foaming-at-the-mouth, "mad dog"
image people have of rabies). Paralytic or "dumb" rabies, mainly
affects the spinal cord, causing the animal to be weak-limbed, lethargic, and
unable to raise its head or make sounds because neck and throat muscles are
paralyzed. In the beginning phase of paralytic rabies, an animal may also appear
to be choking (USDA).
In
the case of transmission by wild animals, it is important to note that very few
of the wild animals that wander into a person’s backyard is rabid. Wildlife experts agree that people should
not encourage wild animals into their yard by feeding them or leaving garbage
cans in such a way as to entice wild animals such as raccoons and foxes. Most wildlife rehabilitators believe that
wild animals should be left alone. If
they are creating a nuisance, the most humane way to rid a property of unwanted
feral animals is to wait until they leave their nest (usually at night), and
then render the space uninhabitable by placing a blockage of some sort over the
access point. Of course, you can’t do
this if the home is serving as a nest for infant animals.
The
bottom line is that there are a lot of diseases, some still being discovered,
that are easily transmissible from animals to humans. There are many more that are not so easily transmitted. Education on the part of the public will go
a long way toward keeping safe from zoonotic diseases and saving wildlife that
are sometimes killed for no reason other than “they carry disease”. Complying with local regulations for
domestic animal vaccinations, and becoming more educated and tolerant of wild
animals is the key to keeping rabies and other zoonotic diseases in check, and
living in harmony with other species.

Great European Circus
Not So Great For Animals
Convicted
animal abuser Bela Tabak is currently touring as the Great European
Circus. The circus is traveling with
ponies, a horse, peacocks, and a duck.
These animals are not covered by the Animal Welfare Act. As part of the show, a witness reports that
six peacocks are put on a wheel and spun around, causing them to become
flustered and disoriented.
Also
during the show, a clown comes out with what he calls a "duck
plucker." He puts a live duck in a tiny box then sets off a firecracker
near the box. The firecracker is so
loud that the audience jumps. The duck
is never seen again. The clown then
pulls out a rubber chicken.
Tabak
was videotaped beating a baby elephant named Mickey during a September 17, 1994
performance in Lebanon, Oregon. The
15-month-old elephant collapsed, screaming and bleeding. Tabak pleaded no contest to animal abuse
charges brought by local authorities.
The USDA suspended Tabak's license for 60 days and he is prohibited from
working with elephants for 5 years.
Tabak has toured as the Great European Circus and Royal American Circus,
and with the now-defunct King Royal Circus.
He
has also been cited by the USDA for failure to provide proper handling,
veterinary care, environmental enhancement, adequate shelter from elements,
adequate enclosures, and clean water.
He was issued an official letter of warning for noncompliances found
during a December 28, 1999 inspection.
WHAT
YOU CAN DO
Intentionally
causing trauma and distress to the peacocks and duck may violate local cruelty
laws. If the Great European Circus
comes to your area:
*
Notify PETA by responding to this email (DebbieL@peta-online.org) or calling
757-622-7382, ext. 311.
*
Alert your local humane society or animal control agency and ask that they
enforce applicable anticruelty statutes.
*
Please circulate this notice.

A Better Mouse Trap
by
KMBWolf@aol.com
The
snap trap. The glue trap. The electrocution trap. Poison.
These
forms of mouse "control" might sound horrifying to us, but they can
be found in millions of homes and businesses around the world. To the general
public, mice are seen as diseased pests, not individual beings that have a
right to live. Therefore, billions of deadly devices have been sold to
"rid" establishments of these small creatures.
But
there are other ways of ridding homes of mice. Humane ways. Ways in which no
one gets hurt (not even the little guys). And ways that few people know about
or have tried. But ways that should take place of the bloody, cruel traps that
are so commonly found.
For
homes and businesses that do not have companion animals, there are the
ultrasonic "pest" deterrents, devices you plug into the wall that
emit high frequency sounds that harmlessly ward off mice, as well as most
insects. This trap is ideal for restaurants and grocery stores.
Placing
used cat litter around the house in small open containers give off the scent of
the predators. Most mice will not enter a house if a cat is present.
Better
yet, adopt a cat from a no-kill shelter! You wont see a trace of a mouse with a
cat around the house.
The
method I use to rid my house of mice (I don't mind them, but my parents abhor
them), is the most effective trap I have ever used:
Take
a large bucket (Rubbermaid, trash bucket), tall enough for a mouse to be unable
to climb out, but not tall enough for them to die with the fall. Cover the
bottom with dobs of peanut butter and birdseed. Place two planks of wood on
either side, creating ramps. Then, go to sleep for the night.
In
the morning, check the trap. You should see the little "varmints"
scurrying about. Cover the bucket with the lid and take the mice FAR FAR away
from any homes or stores (forest, valley), and tip the bucket slightly so that
they run away to freedom.
I
have caught over 50 mice with this method, though not all at the same time. It
is foolproof, and safe for the mice.

And
remember, mice are living creatures, too.

Washington Post article "For The Birds"
Wins Ark Trust Genesis Award!
United
Poultry Concerns is pleased and deeply honored to announce that the November
14, 1999 Washington Post article, "For The Birds," by Tamara Jones,
has won the Fourteenth Annual Genesis Award for Outstanding National Newspaper
Feature. Ark Trust President Gretchen Wyler wrote to Tamara Jones in a letter
announcing her achievement, "Having monitored the attention given to the
many subjects of animal abuse over these fourteen years, we feel there is no
doubt that "For The Birds" is unprecedented in its prominence, the
space afforded and the dynamics of the writing. Having chosen to profile the
courage and commitment of Karen Davis as the focal point of your article, you
exposed the reader to the truth about this rapidly expanding cruel big
business."
For
14 years, the Genesis Awards have acknowledged select members of the news and
entertainment media for exemplary accomplishment in spotlighting animal issues
with creativity and integrity. The Fourteenth Annual Genesis Awards, for works
released in 1999, will be presented at a star-studded ceremony hosted by The
Ark Trust, in the International Ballroom of The Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly
Hills, California on Saturday evening, March 18, hosted by David Hyde Pierce
("Frasier") and Wendie Malick ("Just Shoot Me"). The
nation's premiere consciousness-raiser on animal issues, this year's awards
will be bestowed by a host of celebrity presenters, and taped for television.
For 8 years the Genesis Awards ceremony has aired as a 90-minute special on the
Discovery Channel and is now shown on Discovery's Animal Planet.
United
Poultry Concerns wishes to take this opportunity to congratulate and to thank
Tamara Jones of The Washington Post and to thank Gretchen Wyler and The Ark
Trust for this great tribute and honor. Thank you.

The Animals' Agenda
I
am writing to let tell you about the Animal Rights Network Inc., which is an
absolutely terrific not-for-profit organization devoted to informing and
educating people about the way animals are treated. It is best known as the
publisher of The Animals' Agenda, which, in my humble opinion, is the best
available source for accurate, timely, and interesting information about
animals and the compassionate movement to achieve rights. It is not only a
great-looking, well-written magazine, but maintains high standards of
journalistic integrity.
At
the moment, The Animals' Agenda doesn't have enough subscribers and advertisers
to cover all of its production costs, although that is a goal we are working
toward. I am hoping that you will support this valuable work and introduce
yourself to a great magazine by ordering a subscription. A one-year
subscription (6 issues) is only $24; two years is an even better deal at $42.

If
you already receive The Animals' Agenda, or prefer not to receive it yourself,
would you consider sending a subscription to a library? Only about 1,000
libraries currently receive it, and we would love to get it into every public,
college, high school and media library in the country. The best way to get a
library interested is to start it off with a free subscription. You can either
select a library such as the one at your alma mater or just send the subscription
price and let the staff pick a worthy recipient.
I
hope you don't mind this plea. I wouldn't be doing this for just any
organization. But I really believe in the work of this The Animal Rights
Network, and I know that you share my concern that animals receive better
treatment than they do now. Good, reliable information in the right hands is
the best way to make that happen.
Thank
you for whatever you can do to help the animals.

Thru The Eyes of a Cat ©1991
Good
morning. This is my domain
Where my
mistress lives and where kitty reigns.
Here is the
kitchen; it's where I dine.
I prefer to
eat at 5:30, but she's never on time.
I eat on the
counter way up there;
Eat it all
myself -- who me -- share?
Here in the
living room there's a box she calls "T.V.";
To me, it's
just a box that was put there for me.
Upon it, I
look thru the wall -- she named it "the window" -
And I stare at
the tree hoping to catch a sparrow.
This is my
mistress' room. See the comforter -
That belongs
to me - I stole it from her.
Everything
here, all that you see,
In some way or
form, belongs to me.
There's a dog
who lives here; he's always so ruff.
Occasionally,
we play, but he always steals my stuff.
He's really OK
- maybe even a friend.
Actually...we're
kinda close -- almost like kin.
Well, I have
to go. My mistress is here -
I heard the
car door loud and clear.
She was away
at work earning some money
To pamper me
with and put food in my tummy.
