Loudest PURR in the World

"ALL PICTURES AND LINKS ARE SHARED FROM MY EMAIL FROM CARE2"

Smokey the cat is thought to have the loudest purr in the world, which revs up as loud as a lawnmower. Most cats purr at about 25 decibels, but Smokey’s purring averages 80 decibels, and often goes up to 92–that’s equivalent to the noise of a lawnmower or hair dryer!


And while we’re at it, do you know why cats purr? Read Why do Cats Purr? after the video.

There may be as few as 40 Javan rhinos left in the wild — and in the world as none currently are living in captivity. (They may be the rarest large mammals on the planet.) Recently a motion-activated video camera in an Indonesian national park caught two very young Javan rhinos with their mothers on tape. Not only are they extremely rare, they also only give birth about once every four or five years.

“The videos are great news for Javan rhinos and prove that they are breeding in Ujung Kulon. There are no Javan rhinos in captivity — if we lose the population in the wild, we’ve lost them all,” said Dr. Eric Dinerstein, chief scientist at WWF-US. (Source: WWF)

 

(If you want to support Javan rhino conservation, you can donate to the World Wildlife Fund.)

Javan rhinos used to be widespread in various parts of Asia, but poaching decreased their numbers drastically. Traditional Chinese “medicine” has driven the price of rhino horn to as much as $30,000 per kilogram even though scientifically it has been proven to have no medicinal significance. The main ingredient of rhino horn is simply keratin, the same protein found in human fingernails so consuming rhino horn powder would have the same effect as eating one’s own fingernails. The superstitious false belief in rhino horn has fueled the poaching of rhinos for 2,000 years.

The news is especially good because Javan rhinos are solitary and prefer to stay far from humans, which makes it very difficult to study them. Javan rhinos live about 30-45 years in the wild, and are herbivores. Any Javan rhinos that were kept in captivity did not do well, dying at about half their lifespan in the wild. They have no known predators other than humans.

Another large mammal on Java already went extinct — the Javan tiger. They were all shot, and their habitat was converted for agriculture. The situation for the Javan rhinos is dire, but at least there are conservationists trying to protect them. They are still at risk from poachers who want to cash them in for a quick sale on the black market.

Paramount Pictures and Rango

The marketing geniuses at Paramount Pictures have partnered with PetSmart to offer moviegoers a $10 discount on any reptile at PetSmart stores if they present their ticket stubs from Rango, a film primarily marketed to children. Rango, an animated movie that features no live animals, tells the story of a chameleon who finds himself after he is released from his boring life in a terrarium. It's sad that Paramount doesn't see the irony in turning around and encouraging moviegoers to buy captive reptiles!


An estimated 90 percent of all wild-caught reptiles die within the first year of captivity. It might be easy for moviegoers to impulsively purchase these animals as "pets," but very few have the knowledge (or equipment) required to meet the animals' specialized needs or the inclination to commit to many years of care.

Because you are a dedicated animal lover who has spoken out against animal cruelty before, we knew that you would want to be the first to hear about this horrible promotion. We also knew that we could count on you to make your voice heard in behalf of these reptiles!

Please click here to contact Paramount Pictures today and politely urge the company to end the Rango reptile promotion!

Sincerely,
