If you follow the label directions, all PondMaster products except PondMaster Copper Sulfate Crystals are approved for use in ponds and lakes used for watering, fishing or swimming.

The lions, tigers, elephants, monkeys and other animals used in circuses do not naturally perform for the entertainment of people, so they are forced against their will. Numerous expos?s and the testimony of many former circus employees confirm that trainers routinely use violence, brutality and intimidation to get animals to perform demeaning acts that are common in circuses.

While zoos can help conserve certain endangered species, they are still profit-making enterprises that too often put their own commercial self-interest ahead of animal welfare. A prime example of this is elephants held in captivity and put on exhibit in zoos. Zoos simply cannot provide the vast acreage necessary to accommodate elephants' complex physical, psychological and social needs.

No. The safety of a two-year-old child is the criterion applied by national testing laboratories, such as UL and CSA, to certify the safety of an electric fence energizer. The electric pulse put out by an energizer is so short (about 3/10,000 of a second) it hurts but it cannot injure. Once shocked, neither you nor any animal wants to touch the electric fence again.

Hard to say, it's just this tradition. There's this band I'm in (The Electric Fish), it's a reference to one of the first X programs I wrote (xfish), there are 15 fish-objects (stuffed, wooden, etc) in the room where I'm typing this, etc. And I don't even own any real fish.

There is now a new technique. Several dots will appear, once the text "Oh! A Bite!" appears, press A. Continue until the hooked Pokemon attacks.

While the main focus of REEF's program is marine fish, we have incorporated two additional components through collaborations with other organizations - the Invertebrate and Algae Monitoring Program in REEF's Pacific Region and the Sea Turtle Sighting Program.

It appears there is no toxic effect that has been observed with barley straw use at this time. Also, the Triton Barley Pillow has had no chemicals, such as insecticides or pesticides used on the plant at any time in it's growth. Studies that have been done in the UK have used the barley straw at several times greater than the effective rate, and there apparently has been no toxicity noted with this increased rate of application.

Merino sheep are used to make wool because they have wrinkled skin that produces more wool per animal (because they have more skin area than sheep with smooth skin). These animals have been selectively bred to produce skin with the most wrinkles possible to maximize wool production. Unfortunately for the sheep, their urine and feces collect in the folds of their skin, where blowflies lay their eggs.

Picloram, triclopyr, clopyralid, fluroxypyr and tebuthiuron, the active ingredients in Tordon? 22K, Grazon? P+D, Remedy?, Reclaim?, Spike? 20P, Redeem? R&P, Surmount???, PastureGard??? disrupt the growth process within the plant by affecting enzymes unique to plants. Research has shown that when these active ingredients are applied in accordance with their label directions, they do not have a similar effect on animals or insects.

Provincially, the impact of fish waste generated by farms is regulated through environmental standards set by the Ministry of Water Land and Air Protection. Under the Finfish Aquaculture Waste Control Regulation, farmers are required to monitor the marine environment around the farm for changes in the benthic environment under the farm.

The basic principle in combating a fish disease is to use chemical compounds that kill the disease, while having no adverse effects on the fish, due to neurological/metabolistic differences between the organisms. However, snails have more in common with many parasites then with fish in the way they react to chemical substances.

If you suffer from epilepsy, or experience psychotic episodes, then hypnosis is not advised other than under the supervision of a medical doctor or psychiatrist. Hypnosis is as safe as falling asleep. Hypnosis is deep relaxation with suggestion and guidance from the hypnotherapist as to where your subconscious mind needs to focus. There is nothing harmful in relaxation, and words are just words.

The leather industry generates a significant profit for those who raise and slaughter animals for food. In fact, without the revenue from leather, prices for meat and dairy would skyrocket. Much leather is derived primarily from dairy cows who no longer produce significant amounts of milk and veal cows slated for slaughter. These animals spend their entire lives in cruel confinement before being crammed into train cars bound for the slaughterhouse.
