As a post-script, there are now reports that some members of the Georgian police force apparently mutated into big-game hunters when dealing with the escaped zoo animals in Tiblisi that followed flooding (http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/15/georgia-police-accused-unnecessarily-shooting-zoo-animals-floods). It certainly seems to be the case that a goodly number of the animals were shot. I appreciate that the police have a primary responsibility to protect human life but the coordination with vets could certainly be improved.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
