Danger to Scottish Cats and Dogs From Missing Eagle
An eagle owl has gone missing in the Lothians, sparking fears it may attack cats and small dogs as it hunts for food.
The three-foot tall brown and white bird disappeared from his owner's garden in Bridgend, Linlithgow, at about 2pm yesterday. The bird, called Fergus, has not been fed for two days and police fear hunger will drive it to attack animals.
Bird experts warned the public not to approach the giant bird and to keep pets away from it.
Owner Chris Imlach, 34, said Fergus was in the garden ready for flying when he got loose.
Mr Imlach, a recovery driver, said the bird was one of the largest types of owl in the world and fairly strong - capable of lifting up the family dog.
He said: "It's not been fed in two days so will be quite hungry. He's lifted up my five stone Staffordshire Bull Terrier off the ground before.
"I'm worried about the bird and that if anyone goes near him he might lash out.
"We feed him frozen chicks and he goes after rabbits so he does eat live food.
"I'd be quite worried about cats and dogs if he was hungry."
Mr Imlach said Fergus, who has a 5ft wing span, was "good natured" but had to be handled with heavy duty leather gloves.
The father-of-four said he had reported the loss of the bird, which usually flew at around waist height, to the police and to the Scottish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Doreen Graham of the Scottish SPCA warned people to stay away from the bird and to keep their pets away from it.
She said: "People need to take care of small dogs and cats because these magnificent birds are birds of prey and in the wild would hunt small animals. I'd advise the public to stay away because they would scare it away - just alert the authorities.
"Any wild animal can be dangerous if approached as it requires special handling, best left to the experts."
Neil Fowler, of the Independent Bird Register, which supplies identification rings for 58,000 birds in the UK, said anyone who spotted the bird should phone them.
He said: "We supply rings to 13,000 keepers of birds and we will phone up our owners to look for it."
Mr Fowler said that should the bird remain missing, the register would inform local falconers, clubs and wildlife crime officers and put a notice in International Falconer magazine.
A Lothian and Borders Police spokeswoman said: "We would appeal to anyone who sees this distinctive bird of prey to contact police straight away.
"It should not be approached by members of the public and people should not attempt to catch it themselves.
"This is a very large bird of prey and is capable of attacking small animals.
"It has not been fed in two days so it may be trying to source food."
Anyone with information should call police on 0131-311 3131.

One owner tell us about her heartache.....
The Sad Story of Jasmine,
(Jasmine, is a female Seal Point Siamese cat. She is 11 month old with a brown face & legs with a cream cloured body. She is microchipped and been spayed. She went missing on the 1st February 2006 from the Coatbridge area of Lanarkshire, postcode ML5. Jasmine requires daily
medication and must see a vet asap).
Kate, Jasmines owner writes…
"I was very seriously ill 6 years ago and when I finely got out of hospital to aid my recovery my family promised me a seal point kitten, it took us five years of searching to find one then Jasmine came in to my life… I made her into my escort for my good health she was my lucky charm. I was in the Southern General hospital in Glasgow for four month as I collapsed one Sunday on 9th Jan 2000 with a aneurism in the brain, no warning, just woke up one day in hospital. I didn’t have a clue what had happened… woke up getting staples taken out of my head. When I finely got home we started the search for a seal point, they were like "gold dust" no one had one for sale. I called her after my favorite flower she was so very special to me and I to her in her own wee way" …
… "now that she has gone she has taken a big part of me with her. I can’t get her out of my mind I think of her 24/7 ... Opps there is the tears falling again... I just hope she is safe and not too frighten out in this horrible wet and cold weather. I hope she doesn’t think that I put her out…. if only she knew what I have done to try and get her back . I just want her back home safe and sound back to her home comforts in the warmth of her home where is was well looked after and loved we all miss her dreadfully why didn’t anything happen to me instead of a wee innocent cat its just so unfair … I its just not right that a wee cat should suffer - I must go just now thank you so much", Kate

Dolly's Directive, Campaign by Candy King
Since the "disappearance/possible theft" of her beloved Jack Russell Terrier, Dolly in early 2005 Candy King has started a campaign to make it compulsory that all vets, animal shelters, the police, animal welfare organisations scan all pets in their care - if you would like more information of her campaign please email Candy dollysdirective@hotmail.co.uk.
Candy writes....
We are asking everyone to write to their MP and the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons with a copy of Dolly's Directive outlining why you think it is necessary for it to be implemented. We want the House of Commons to be inundated with Dolly's Directives. I know it is tedious writing letters but I would ask you to just look at your own dog, isn't he/she worth writing a couple of letters for? I will not be listened to on my own, but many people will be heard, we have to let the powers that be see how many of us are willing this to happen. See if you can get others to write too. Also see if your local pet shop will display a copy for signing, dog training clubs, dog shows, your place of work. If you know anyone with any clout or remotely famous then please get them to support us. Thank you again for your support. It is important.
Candy (Dolly's mum)
Address to write to:- Your MP. House of Commons, London. SW1A 0AA

Bird Flu and Our Pets
Are you wondering how easily avian flu could jump from birds to domestic animals?
Paul Hunter, professor of health protection at the University of East Anglia in the UK, points out that like all predators, Cats by nature hunt weaker pray. "Cats tend to go for sick birds, so it is not unexpected if cats catch and kill infected birds,"
The reported death in Germany of a cat who lived in an area where dozens of birds had died from H5N1 does not come as any big surprise to scientists
Should our pets in the UK be vacinated?
Professor Peter Openshaw of Imperial College, London commentated today on the German Cats death. "It also raises the question of whether cats should be vaccinated... Vaccination of animals that bring us into close contact with it seems to be a high priority."
He urges a new focus on vaccines that are broadly protective rather than too specific, to improve chances of general protection.
But he also sadly admitted there is little incentive for pharmaceutical firms because such research had a high risk of failure with of low financial returns!

Cat Mystery Solved, Bitter Sweet Reunion
Posted by Lynnette Finder of Cat
“You will pleased to know that Maisie as we called her was reunited tonight with her owners. Her real name is Jes (Jessica).
The sad news is that her walk never improved whilst she was with us, so we took her to the vet Thursday for x-rays but nothing was discovered.
Since then we have learnt from her owners that her health had been declining since Christmas. They took her to the vets the week before she disappeared and has the cat equivalent to debenture.
She had gone missing the night before I found her, and was assumed by her owners that she had gone off to die somewhere. .
I am so pleased she is reunited, although I am going to miss her dearly as we had decided to keep hold of her if no one came to claim her.
Thank you for all your help”.
