WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

VIDEO: “Kill the cull, not England’s badgers” – Dr Jane Goodall’s message to the Government



‘MASSIVE SUFFERING’: Jane Goodall‘MASSIVE SUFFERING’: Jane Goodall
BOURNEMOUTH resident and world-renowned primatologist Dr Jane Goodall has sent a powerful message to the Government urging it to abandon the badger cull, warning of “massive suffering”.
The chimpanzee expert and conservationist released a Youtube video following a statement from the Zoological Society of London against the use of badger culling in the control of bovine tuberculosis.
Dr Goodall rose to fame after her landmark study of chimpanzee behaviour in Tanzania and established the Jane Goodall Institute which continues her ground-breaking research.
In her message, the Durley Chine resident said: “The proposed killing will result in massive suffering for the badgers. They are intelligent animals. Like us, they feel apprehension and fear. Like us, they feel pain.
“And even those responsible for the plan have admitted that many animals will not be killed outright but will die maybe days later and many will know terror and great pain.”
Dorset Wildlife Trust was amongst the organisations which signed the online Team Badger petition opposing the badger cull.
The record-breaking petition received 263,000 signatures pledging support against the government policy of killing badgers in a bid to control the spread of bovine tuberculosis in cattle.
