| Circus denies its use of animals is ‘cruel’
Wild birds will mob exotic tame ones and can be killed if not rescued in time. That's more cruel. Also I'm sure the horses are far better looked after and probably enjoy a lot of what they are doing. If their ears are pricked forward that's the sign for them being happy. I'd far rather a horse be there than some of the sorry half-starved states that the travellers leave in fields that aren't even theirs. Un-groomed, un-shod and no bridle or saddle and like I say half-starved. Stupid over-zealous people. Try looking at areas that need more attention like these foreign zoos or clubs that keep lions in the tiniest of cages. .
Colorado Bioscience Association Showcases the State’s Most Promising ...
Colorado research institutions have begun reaping the rewards of legislation allocating state funds for bioscience research. HB 1360, sponsored by Representative Jim Reisberg (D-Greeley) and Senator Ron Tupa (D-Boulder), was signed into law by Governor Bill Owens last summer. $2 million in state funds was awarded to 27 bioscience proof of concept projects at six Colorado universities and research institutions. Initial reports are expected by the end of 2007. .
K. P. WARAN: Battle of attrition with the big C
LYING on my couch and surfing channels on Thursday morning, I noticed that nearly every news channel was highlighting the World Cancer Research Fund's study on lifestyle and the disease. The findings and stark recommendations gave me goose bumps.
"Even those who are not overweight should slim down if they want to cut their risk of cancer. Avoid bacon and if possible all red and processed meat. No sugary drinks and alcohol," the BBC newsreader said.
"Cancer is not a fate, it is a matter of risk, and you can adjust those risks by how you behave. It is very important that people feel that they are in control of what they do," the author of the report, Professor Martin Wiseman, was quoted as saying.
However, two-thirds of cancer cases are not thought to be related to lifestyle, and there is little people can do to prevent the disease in these circumstances.
