Where do hamsters come from?Where do hamsters come from?
HistoryDomestic hamsters arederived from one female wildgolden hamster(Mesocricetus auratus) and
her 12 offspring. The originalstock was collected by Dr.Aharoni in northern Syria in1930. After setting up abreeding programme inJerusalem, he sent a number
of hamsters to the UK in1931 and some to the USA in1938, for use in laboratories.They were introduced intothe pet trade in 1945.

How do they live in the wildHow do they live in the wild
In the wild, they burrow underground inthe daylight to avoid being caught bypredators. They are most activearound dusk and dawn, which has ledmany people to mistake them for beingnocturnal. Their diet contains a varietyof foods, including dried food, berries,nuts, fresh fruits and vegetables. In thewild they will eat any wheat, nuts andsmall bits of fruit and vegetables thatthey might find lying around on theground, and will occasionally eat smallinsects such as small crickets ormealworms. They have long fur-linedpouches on both sides of their headswhich extend to their shoulders, which
they stuff full of food to be broughtback to the colony or to be eaten later.

In the previous slide there are 4 examples of
animals used in sport.
There are horses and greyhounds racing. Horses also compete in jumping contests
and dressage (slide 3) sometimes they
compete pulling little carts too.
Most people agree that horses and dogs
ENJOY the competition and fuss that is
made of them and they are happy to run.
But there are some concerns
-
8/14/2019 How the Law Protects Animals
28/60
People are concerned that inhorse racing some jockeyswhip their horses too much.
There are fears that drugs areused to make hoses/dogs run
faster or slower to makemoney through betting.
The main concern is whathappens to the animals oncethey retire.
Many greyhounds are just putdown at the end of their racingcareer having made money fortheir owners and those whobet on them!
Some greyhounds are rescued
like RosieMrs Tunnicliffs dog!
They are VERY LAZY!!
