When a veterinarian is handling a
tiger or a mamba snake, the most
important tool is knowledge of how
to handle the beast, according to
Dr. Murray Fowler, a veterinarian
from California who specializes in
zoo and wild animal medicine.
Fowler gave a two-hour presenta
tion, titled “Non-domestic Clinics
and Zoo Animal Problems,” to a
public meeting of the student chap
ter of the American Association of
Zoo Veterinarians at Texas A&M
University Monday night. His slide
show was devoted mainly to various
techniques of handling and restrain
ing animals.
Fowler said that of the thousands
of species of animals on the earth,
there are only about 35 that are
domesticated, including two insects:
honeybees and silkworms. But man
keeps more than just those 35 in
captivity, and the veterinarian must
be prepared to deal with the others.
Fowler, who said that he has
learned much of what he knows
from hard experience, said that suc-

cessful restraint of animals requires
three things: knowledge of the
specie’s biology, proper use of the
correct tools, and self-confidence,
which comes with experience.
“There is no such thing as com
mon sense,” Fowler said. “Common
sense is experience. It may be direct
or vicarious, but it is experience.”
Respect also plays an important
role, Fowler said. The veterinarian
must have respect for an animal’s
strength, speed, reach and agility.
Animals defend or attack by biting,
clawing, striking, goring, bunting,
squeezing, crushing, spitting and
regurgitating.
Fowler said that four factors must
be kept in mind, in the proper or
der, when a veterinarian is selecting
a restraining method:
— Safety for the veterinarian and
his or her coworkers.
— Safety for the animal.
— The possibility of the use of the
procedure in that situation.
— The successful recovery of the
animal.
A veterinarian’s hands are two of
his most important tools; therefore
the veterinarian must be keenly
aware of the danger of an animal’s
teeth.
“There is not one adult carnivore
with a full set of teeth that can’t bite
through a leather glove,” Fowler
said.
Many veterinarians think of
chemical restraint with dart guns as
a catchall, but Fowler said that such
procedures require special care for
the safety of all involved, including
the animal.
Thatcher candidacy
doesn’t faze Britons
United Press International
LONDON — Even if Britain’s
Thursday election makes Mar
garet Thatcher the first woman to
head a government in the West
ern world, there won’t be much
dancing in Britain’s streets on
that account.
There are many reasons.
Britain, after all, has had a
queen on the throne for 27 years.
The reality of a woman run
ning the country goes back at
least as far as the first Queen
Elizabeth, an absolute ruler —
literally with power of life or
death — 400 years ago. England
has had many queens before and
since.
Nor are women political lead
ers in Thatcher’s own time all
that novel.
Any random poll before this
campaign probably would have
found as many people mention
ing Jennie Lee, Barbara Castle
or Shirley Williams as Thatcher
in that category.
Furthermore, Britain’s long
and intimate involvement in the
wider world has left a solid
awareness of precedents.
Voters here know about earlier
woman prime ministers within
the British Commonwealth, like
Indira Gandhi of India and
Sirimavo Bandaranaike of what
was then Ceylon and is now Sri
Lanka, and outside it, like Golda
Meir of Israel.
The hit musical “Evita and its
razzmatazz publicity has even
given many Britons some idea of
Eva Peron’s role in Argentina,
though that of Gen. Juan Peron’s
widow Isabel, who succeeded
him as president, is much hazier.
Besides all this, the British
still cherish the idea that it is par
liament which rules, not a prime
minister. Thatcher herself
stressed that “we are not electing
a president.” For most British
voters, the party matters more

WASHINGTON — Attending
church services with a newly freed
Soviet dissident, President Carter
said Sunday it is not treason to ob
ject to government injustice in the
United States or elsewhere, but it is
“sinful to be silent.”
Georgi Vins, one of five Russian
activists released a few days before,
came to Washington from New York
to worship with the president and
attend the Bible class Carter taught
at the First Baptist Church of Wash
ington.
The president called Vins a
courageous man who was perse
cuted “because of his belief in
Christ.
A Baptist leader in the Ukraine,
Vins was accused of “defaming the
Soviet state” in 1975 and sentenced
to five years in a labor camp and five
years of internal exile.
He was released Friday, along
with four other political prisoners,
in exchange for the freedom of two
Soviet spies convicted last year of
trying to buy U.S. Naval secrets.
Carter, telling the group Vins said
he was being transported across
Siberia on a cattle train only four
days earlier, said people have an ob
ligation to speak out when they see
their government doing wrong.
Noting that some equate the
words “My country, right or wrong
with patriotism, Carter said “I
doubt that God would approve of
that statement.
“The first time we had to face that
in my lifetime was in the Vietnam
War,” the president said.
Describing the public attitude
during the war as being: “If my pres
ident says bomb Cambodia, so be
