Curious Snow Leopard Cub Steals Camera Trap
By Katie Scott, Wired UK
A camera trap set on the Afghan Border has captured images of a leap of elusive snow leopards, but also the moment when one of the cubs made off with one of the cameras.
The cameras were set up in the Zorkul nature reserve close to the Afghan border in Tajikistan at the beginning of August, and left there until October. Dr Alex Diment is the Capacity and Development Manager for the Eurasia Programme for the charity Fauna & Flora International (FFI). He told Wired.co.uk that the FFI and Panthera team set up the camera traps to cover an area of around 15 sq km, which stretched across eight separate valleys.
The 11 cameras photographed five separate snow leopards living in one of these valleys, and this included a family with two cubs — one of which took a shining to the cameras and carried one off.
Diment says that the camera traps have made a huge difference in conservationists. “Camera traps have been an amazing piece of technology, and are really maturing as a technology, becoming reliable and giving great results. They are giving us the ability to research animals, which were previously almost entirely unknown.”

And a bonus letter from an actual, real-life Chevy Volt owner in the local liberal rag:
This makes me want to go out and test drive every single Volt I possibly can, and say things during the test drives like: “Well, I still don’t know…,” ” I want to see how it handles the hill by my house,” and “I have a long commute -- I’m just not sold yet that this ‘gas thing’ you speak of will actually ‘kick in’ once the charge is gone. Let’s see…”
@ Bumr50:
You’re evil. I like that. We should all go and do this. lol
@ Bumr50:
the coal fired chevy volt.
test drive it, run it through an OWS camp, swear the accelerator got stuck… yeah like that
Okay in the first picture is the cat in the left side of picture in the grass….

@ Lily:
Nope…

how many miles does it get to a pound?
@ brookly red:
Well it would be an accident…not to mention the OWS is getting more violent. Could save a lot of money…then maybe they will sue the Chevy Volt…
@ brookly red:
Pounds to the mile -- lots of them.

Isn’t it though???
A woman (let call her IceWeasel) is dragging two young
boys by their arms into a Walmart.
She is yelling at them & otherwise verbally abusing them.
A retired gentleman working as a greeter observes the
whole thing.
He greets her “Welcome to Walmart”
She just snarls , “Yeah right” & keeps walking.
He says , “Excuse me, are those boys twins?”
She scunches up her nasty looking face & hisses,
“Twins? What are you talking about, one is nine & one
is seven. Are you blind or just stupid?”
He smiles, “Actually neither, I just can’t imagine that
anybody had sex with you more than once.”
His manager thought that it was humorous, but that
his talents might be better suited elsewhere.
Today was take kitteh to the vet day for her annual vaccine boosters. I was surprised at how little trouble i had getting her in the crate, and coming home she didn’t meow at all. I think she’s finally getting acclimated to the once a year vet trip. First couple times she howled like a banshee all the way to the vets place and all the way back home.

Good one…now I am a Christian but this lady goes waaaaaaaay overboard ……

what? no…that cat DECIDED to SPARE you and not beat on the staff THIS TIME!!!
@ Lily:
That is one crazy woman.

She did intimidate people over there, basically because
she was a trouble shooter for Johnson
Dark Falcon actually called her & Jimmah “LGFs Power
Couple”

Oh I had forgotten about him too…

Dems da days huh?
@ RIX:
Are they no longer there? I remember Jimmah as an antisemite.

not so much, every day i encounter subhumans. to be honest i just ask God to forgive them and go about my business.

I really don’t know who is left, it seems like

Jimmah is obnoxious, but IceWeasel is the most
despicable individual that I never met.

really? I found her honesty refreshing… she made no attempt to conceal who she was. I pity her.
brookly red wrote:
but enough of this, I can no more dwell on that experience than stepping in dog shit… whip it off an go on.
@ brookly red:
I really wouldn’t know I was banned before she got there.
@ brookly red:
Ditto. There’s another room for those who wish to remember.
@ Lily:
Me too. Well, I intentionally provoked my banning by reposting an old post of Charles’s that was calculated to embarrass him.
@ Lily:
Once banned I never went back….it had gotten increasingly hard to read….cj was banning people right and left….for nothing.
“… let’s forget you better still”.
marlin fishing in a kayak.
this looks like a blast!
@ brookly red:
I can’t pity her, she is a profoundly cruel woman.
CJ siced her on Sharmuta & it was merciless.
Sharmuta is a fagile individual who would have
opened a vein for that slob.
@ coldwarrior:
Who do you like tomorrow?
I say Giants by four.

Not sure why he would do that….heartless…

I say the Giants…..but can lightning strike twice?

Cruelty is in the eye of the beholder, Sharmuta cast her pearls before swine.
Lily wrote:
I think so. The Giants front four will pressure Brady
& that gives him happy feet.
They will be able to double up on Pats recievers.
The Patriots have only beat one team with a winning record,
the Ravens in the playoffs.
Should be a really close game though.
@ RIX:
I think so too.
@ brookly red:
Sharmuta is weak & doesn’t believe much of anything.
I never took her seriously. Weasle on the other hand
is just vile.
See ya.
Everybody enjoy Americas Tribal Ritual tomnorrow.
Football, beer & hot wings, Yeah baby!
