World Wildlife Fund Quotes Howie and Lauds Big Cat Rescue A few hours before sundown on October 18, 2011, law enforcement officials in Zanesville, Ohio, received a strange 911 call: The neighbor of a man named Terry Thompson had spotted a black bear running loose on Thompson's property—then a large male lion. As police officials drove toward the scene, they began spotting other large carnivores. The area was residential, and there was a school soccer game happening nearby, so the officers were ordered to shoot the animals. By the following morning, they had killed six bears, 17 lions, and a slew of other wild creatures—including 18 tigers. Thompson had released all of them from the enclosures in his yard before committing suicide.   The Zanesville incident was so bizarre and horrific that it made international headlines. But it was also a rude awakening to the fact that many people in the US own exotic animals, including Panthera tigris. There are thousands of captive tigers throughout the country. You can find them in backyard enclosures, petting zoos, and even truck stops. They outnumber the tigers believed to remain in the wild today. And beyond the problems their captivity poses in the US, it's putting their wild counterparts at risk.   Leigh Henry, WWF's senior policy advisor for wildlife conservation, says she first became aware of the issue around 2006. “I was working on WWF's TRAFFIC team at the time,” Henry says. “An organization called Save the Tiger Fund approached us and said, ‘We're concerned about captive tigers in the US. Nobody knows much about them. If we get you some funding, could you do a study?'”   With the help of a consultant, Henry put together the first comprehensive report on tiger ownership in the US. The results of their research were jarring. Not only did there appear to be roughly 5,000 captive tigers across the country, but the vast majority of those cats—about 95%—were, like Thompson's tigers, privately owned. That total is just an estimate, Henry adds. “No one can say for certain, because the US actually has no comprehensive system for monitoring captive tigers.”   Instead, Henry found regulations that were patchy and riddled with loopholes. The US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), for example, required permits for certain activities that would normally be prohibited under the Endangered Species Act (such as breeding tigers or transporting them across state lines). But at the time, the FWS exempted generic tigers—tigers with genes from multiple subspecies—from those rules. “Generic tigers are basically mutts, for lack of a better word,” Henry says. “Since they aren't genetically pure, they don't have conservation value to the FWS. But most of the tigers in the US are generic.” So the FWS wasn't monitoring them.   The USDA, meanwhile, required exhibitor licenses for tigers that were being shown to the public—whether for free or for profit—but not for tigers that people simply wanted to keep privately as pets. Many states banned private possession of the cats, but still exempted anyone with a USDA license. A handful of others allowed possession with a state-issued permit, and several had no barriers whatsoever.   “Those laws have enormous loopholes. USDA licenses are easy to get, and many people who apply for them are just pet owners trying to evade the state bans,” says Howard Baskin. Baskin and his wife Carole run Big Cat Rescue, a 67-acre large cat sanctuary in Tampa, Florida, that's been operating since 1992. They currently shelter about 70 cats—including 12 tigers. Some came to the sanctuary from people who tried their best to care for the animals but didn't have the knowledge or resources to meet their needs.   “But then there are owners like Terry Thompson, or the woman in Ohio who had four tigers and two lions, and declawed and defanged many of them,” Baskin says. “She would chain them down and charge people thousands of dollars to receive big cat ‘training' experience. People kept getting hurt so she lost her USDA license, but she kept doing it anyway. It was a horrible situation. We took in four of these cats at the request of the state after she abandoned them.”   Besides putting both cats and people in danger in the US, the regulations allowing such behavior also pose big problems internationally. “A huge issue here is cub petting operations— people who breed tiger cubs so they can charge customers to pet them and take pictures with them,” Baskin says. “They can only use the cubs for a few months before they grow too big to be safe, and lose their commercial value.” Once that happens, there's no way to track where the cubs end up—and thus no way to make sure they aren't being sold illegally.   “Our concern is that you have all of these adult tigers in the US that are unwanted,” says Henry. And not just because they're dangerous: They're also incredibly expensive pets. The TRAFFIC report estimated that it costs $5,000-$6,000 a year to feed a grown tiger. And while there are some good sanctuaries like Big Cat Rescue in operation, “most of them are full to overflowing,” Henry says.   On the other hand, the value of a tiger carcass in Asian black markets can climb as high as $60,000. For someone trying to get rid of a large tiger, Henry says, selling its parts on the black market could prove too tempting to resist. And the availability of those parts fuels demand for even more—which in turn drives continued poaching of the cats in the wild.   What's more, America's captive tigers have become a diplomatic stumbling block in efforts to end tiger farming in China and Southeast Asia. When the tiger farm issue is brought up in international meetings, fingers tend to get pointed at China—but China has repeatedly questioned why the US isn't doing something about its own tiger problem. “We need to figure out a better way to regulate the tigers in our own backyard so that the US can continue to be a global leader in combatting wildlife crime, and help influence China, Vietnam, Thailand, and Laos to shut their tiger farms down,” Henry says.   Both WWF and Big Cat Rescue have been advocating for tighter laws that can better regulate captive tigers and halt the breeding of cubs for profit. In 2016, they saw two major victories. The first was an April decision by the FWS to scratch the generic tiger exemption from its laws—a change that more than 450,000 WWF supporters had called for. Around the same time, the USDA enacted a ban on public contact with tigers under four weeks old, in response to a petition from WWF, Big Cat Rescue, and a coalition of other animal rights organizations.   “That was a step in the right direction, but we asked for a ban on all public contact,” Henry says. However, the USDA is still considering further action in response to the petition. She's hopeful about the outcome—and about the pressure these new policies could put on other countries with tiger issues. And Baskin says Big Cat Rescue is advocating for a bill completely banning private ownership and breeding of big cats; so far, it's gained 82 cosponsors in the House of Representatives, and Baskin expects the number to keep growing.   “Unfortunately, it may take more tragedies like Zanesville to really change these laws,” Baskin says. “I'm hoping it doesn't. There's no reason for people to keep tigers and other dangerous carnivores in their backyards.”   https://www.worldwildlife.org/magazine/issues/winter-2016/articles/captive-tigers-in-the-us   Yesterday I got my Remote Pilot's License to fly drones from the FAA:   Hi, I'm Carole Baskin and I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened.

As it turns out, the images were part of another existing DJI agro drone called the T16. So we will have to wait a little longer for a release date for the Mavic 3! Extension of Special FAR The FAA has extended its special FAR that was issued a few months ago to deal with COVID shutdowns. Remote Pilot whose privileges are due to expire between March and September (previously June) can renew online. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/06/29/2020-13960/limited-extension-of-relief-for-certain-persons-and-operations-during-the-coronavirus-disease-2019 Parrot Anafi USA Two weeks ago, we discussed the new Parrot Anafi “rugged version”. More information was release this week from Parrot. It's called the Parrot Anafi USA because it was designed for the US Army. Equipped with 3 cams: 32x zoom 2 cameras 21-MP cam claiming to see from 3.1 mi. FLIR camera coupled with the zoom. 500 gram, quiet (79 dB), ready in 55 seconds and all-weather. Something unexpected came out of the release when Henri Seydoux, the CEO of Parrot, openly slammed DJI publicly by claiming that a version of DJI Go was silently modified after data leaks were supposedly found. DJI responded by saying the data was not for the DJI Go app but for its Osmo device (DJI Mimo app) and the information was not leaked but going to a third-party provider to share footage.

Hi everyone, Welcome to the channel - in this video, we take a look at how to add additional Remote Pilots into your CAA Drone Operations Manual. It's actually really simple when you know-how and shouldn't cause you any dramas - especially if you've switched over to using the FREE CAA Operations Manual Template which we provided for everyone a few weeks ago... Don't forget, we keep that template 'always-up-to-date' and it's exactly in-line with the template in the new version of the CAA CAP 722A! You can find that video here: https://youtu.be/T0D8_t_eB2E Links to the videos mentioned, below: When do you need to contact the CAA about changes to your Drone Operations as a PfCO Holder? : https://youtu.be/uOotoESNp_w How to update your CAA Drone Operations Manual: https://youtu.be/Egn5mMyTA8o Please feel free to rate the video and leave any comments or questions below...

Hi everyone, Welcome to the channel - in this video, we take a look at how old you need to be to operate under a CAA PfCO (Permission for Commercial Operation) in the UK. Often referred to as a drone 'license', it's quite surprising when it comes to the age requirements for being a commercial drone operator (or Remote Pilot - the one, 'waggling' the sticks of the drone) and the requirements for being the 'SUA Operator' (the person who oversees the Remote Pilots who are flying the aircraft).

Erin Knoetig is a high school teacher from Nashua, New Hampshire, teaching her students about all that is drone. It started off as an idea with one of her co-workers, and is starting out as a part time program until the end of this school year. So far the program has been a great success, and starting in the fall it will be a full time credited class at Nashua High School North! When she first started brainstorming the program, Erin jumped in and got her Part 107 drone license. During the show she didn't divulge which school she used for that, but as many of you know my recommendation is Remote Pilot 101. Everyone that I've sent their way has crushed their FAA Part 107 exam, so if you're looking to get yours, check them out! Back to Erin's drone program, she discusses how she is creating the materials, as well as what's easy and what's difficult for the students to grasp. If you're reading this before listening, do you have any guesses as to what the students find easy and difficult? Erin also lets us know that she has a shooting star in her class that is really grasping drones, and may even give Erin a run for her money when it comes to drone knowledge and skills! ;) The biggest tip that she has for teaching children about drones, is to gain confidence yourself. If you're not confident, you're going to have a hard time teaching the students. Get out there and fly in different situations, so when your kids ask you a question, you can answer with confidence as you've been there before! Makes sense, right? In addition to that, Erin is also working on getting her program FEMA certified, as they have plans for the students to work with public safety in Nashua.

In a rare Monday night "appearance", Al and Marc got together to record this week's episode.  The reason for the change is that Al was flying back from Canada last night.  Or at least trying to.  Al had issues with border patrol on each end of his flight, which made for an interesting discussion.  More to this border crossing than maybe you thought. The guys also talked a little bit about Marc's newest rating.... Remote Pilot for Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems.  If you want to fly drones, you'll need this.. and its not a hard rating to get.   You'll have fun hearing Marc and Al catch up with all things aviation.  Great to have them back together after a few week solo effort by Marc.  Thanks for listening in. Blue Skies and Tailwinds!

A workshop to teach educators how to introduce drones to students, Flirtey is in the news again with another package delivery milestone, and a report on the Hogan Lovells sUAS Part 107 webinar. Guest Princess Aliyah Pandolfi updates us on the exciting projects being undertaken by the Kashmir World Foundation. We last spoke with Aliyah when we covered the DaVinci Build-a-Drone workshop in Episode 124. In order to create a more sustainable program and bring this highly successful STEM program to a broader audience, this special workshop was created for educators who can then teach students at their schools and universities. The first educator workshop is July 11-15, 2016 at Foxcroft School in Middleburg, Virginia. Registration deadline is July 8, 2016. Visit www.kashmirworldfoundation.org for more information. Aliyah Pandolfi and David Vanderhoof Aliyah also explains a new project to monitor sea turtle activity with MiSHELL drones. To conduct their research, biologists must painstakingly locate sea turtle tracks on the beach and follow them to the nests. Kashmir World Foundation has partnered with Georgia Southern University at St. Catherines Island to discover how sUAS could be used to greatly increase the efficiency of the process. In addition, Aliyah is conducting a private workshop this summer for girls and technology. This is sponsored by Eagle Ray, a woman-owned business specializing in strategic transformation services.   News Flirtey Conducts First U.S. Ship-to-Shore Drone Delivery Flirtey and a Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine doctor have successfully completed the first ship-to-shore drone delivery in the U.S. on the New Jersey coastline. This was at the invitation of Field Innovation Team (FIT), a disaster preparedness non-profit. Guests from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Assistance (UNOCHA) attended as part of the Drones in Disasters “Do Tank.” http://youtu.be/qPkN9y_mjPo The FAA and DOT Just Released the Small UAS Rule: Will Your Company be Ready? This Hogan Lovells webinar held June 27, 2016, reviewed the Part 107 commercial sUAS rule and discussed the implications for you and your business. You can watch a replay of the Part 107 Small UAS Rule Webinar, or view the Hogan Lovells custom Part 107 Table of Contents, which contains links to corresponding sections in the rule.
