 \nComing out approximately once each month , this communication features current news , interesting information , upcoming event notices and , perhaps most importantly , details about Zoocheck's wildlife protection work throughout Canada and around the world.  \nRECEIVING MORE THAN ONE EMAIL: We're in the process of cleaning and updating our email list.

A perfect example of this \"less glamorous\" , behind the scenes work can be found in Zoocheck's campaign to protect the wild horses of Alberta.  \nAs our supporters know Zoocheck has a long history with wild horse issues in Alberta including an intensive campaign in the 1990s to try to protect the wild horse population that once existed on Canadian Forces Base Suffield near Medicine Hat.  \nIn more recent years , Zoocheck has worked with Help Alberta Wildies Society (HAWS) and other organizations and experts in Alberta to stop the culling of the remaining wild horse populations in the Rocky Mountain foothills. In 2015 Zoocheck released an extensive expert technical report outlining how the Alberta government had ignored relevant science in developing their wild horse management program. Zoocheck also helped facilitate and participated in a W5 expose on themismanagement of the wild horses. Since that time...  \nZoocheck funds publication of important paper on wild horse predation by wolves  \nFor many years , a myth has been perpetuated by people , businesses and other special interests that wild horses have few natural predators. While both bears and cougars are known to predate on wild horses , this paper now shows that wolves can be major predators of wild horses as well.  \nZoocheck is pleased to have funded its publication.  \nRead Wild horses are an important component of the diet of wolves in the BC Chilcotin by Sadie Parr and Wayne P. McCrory , RPBio at the link below.  \nFrom the paper:  \nStudies in various parts of the world have shown that where horses roam freely , they are a dietary item for large carnivores that still survive in those ecosystems. Wolves are flexible and opportunistic predators adapted to feeding on a variety of diverse species including wild horses where they coexist    \nWILD HEARTS-Zoocheck's award-winning documentary about the wild horses of Alberta  \nWatch Wild Hearts , Zoocheck's stunningly beautiful , award-winning documentary short to learn more about the Alberta wild horse issue. There are no graphic scenes in the video.  \nLooking Back! Alberta's Suffield Wild Horses  \nZoocheck first started working on wild horse issues in the 1990s when the Department of National Defence (DND) wanted to remove 1200 wild horses from Canadian Forces Base Suffield near Medicine Hat , Alberta. Like the ranching and resource extraction special interest groups today , the DND claimed the horses shouldn't be there and were damaging the environment but they couldn't produce any evidence that what they were saying was true.  \nThey also ignored the fact that horses evolved in that region of North America , that modern horses are genetically equivalent to the wild horses that existed there previously and that they served a very beneficial ecological function.  \nUnfortunately , after a protracted and complicated campaign by Zoocheck (in cooperation with several local NGOs) that involved a multitude of meetings , public consultations , reports , briefs , press c","cbCaifJFk82K3UWJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifJFk82K3UWJ","pdf",2634225,"English","# Receiving More Than One Email\n# Zoocheck Updates: Wild Horses and Wolves\n# Zoocheck Documentary: Wild Hearts\n# Looking Back: Suffield Wild Horses\n# Zoocheck Advocacy: Snakes and Other Reptiles","[{\"question\":\"What does Zoocheck News \\u0026 Views cover in the August 2023 issue?\",\"answer\":\"It covers current news, interesting information, upcoming events, and key details about Zoocheck’s wildlife protection work across Canada and worldwide.\"},{\"question\":\"How is Zoocheck involved in Alberta wild horse protection?\",\"answer\":\"Zoocheck supports efforts to stop harmful actions toward remaining wild horse populations and has previously released technical reports and worked with media to address mismanagement concerns.\"},{\"question\":\"What research does Zoocheck highlight regarding wild horses and wolves?\",\"answer\":\"The newsletter states that wolves can be major predators of wild horses, and it points readers to a funded paper describing how wild horses fit into wolf diets.\"}]","August 2023 Zoocheck News & Views - Wildlife Protection Updates | PDF",1791273735,15]
