Wolves Need Help In Idaho

Picture from Defenders of Wildlife

Wolves are about to be killed from aerial gunning again. Why does everyone keep doing this? Shooting anything unarmed out of a plane or helicopter is ridiculous. These wolves are in their natural habitat.

Idaho wants to kill wolves so that elk populations will increase and attract more hunters to kill them. Stick to potatoes Idaho.

I posted on here awhile ago about this same group planning on gassing wolf pups and enough people spoke up against it to stop it. Let’s do it again.

This has got to stop. The wolves are an endangered species. Humans are going to wipe out this iconic animal. Join me in speaking out against Wildlife Services.

The survival of wolves is in your hands.

Secretary Ken Salazar is talking to officials about taking the Northern Rocky Mountain gray wolf off the Endangered Species list. If removed they will no doubt be hunted for sport. They could be completely wiped out.

Gray wolves have narrowly escaped extinction already. They are constantly faced with poisoning and hunting. Join me in protecting the gray wolf. Click on the link to sign a much needed petition on change.org.

Elephants Being Killed For Jewelry

Check out this email I received from Emily L. of ThePetitionSite and then act on it.


“Hi Daniel,

Just because we don't live in a country where elephants are being poached, doesn't mean we aren't supporting it. Shockingly, the U.S. is one of the largest retail markets for imported ivory and therefore a major driver of elephant poaching in Africa.

This is sickening and needs to change. Tell President Obama to close the loophole that makes this possible!

Asian and African elephants are in major danger. Populations are falling quickly, due in large part to the greedy poachers who kill an entire animal just for their valuable tusks. Since 2005, the ivory industry has catapulted, leaving elephants to bear the burden of our desire for trinkets and souvenirs.

The U.S. should be ashamed of its involvement in such cruel and brutal killings of this suffering species.

You can help. Join me in telling President Obama that you won't stand for the U.S. supporting elephant poaching any longer.“

Join me in sending a pre-written letter to Secretary Salazar’s office to stop Shell from drilling 12 miles off the coast of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Drilling for oil is detrimental for wildlife. It is even worse when you factor in the potential for another disastrous oil spill like we have recently witnessed. We just cannot let this happen.

Greenpeace called on activists to speak up in May and succeeded in a temporary ban on new offshore drilling. Activists were instrumental in the “timeout” taken by BP last month to do more research before drilling. You can make a difference. Please click on the link to send a letter to Secretary Salazar.


STOP OIL DRILLING

Fur Is Cruel

Fur is gross, weird, inhumane, and unnecessary. Whenever I do a fur protest in the winter and I am freezing my ass off, I just think about the horror that the animals experience when they are trapped and killed for their fur. It always keeps me motivated to stay out there.


I was surprised when I heard that Kohl’s carries fur products. They didn’t strike me as the type of company that would fund cruelty. They have been informed of the cruelty that goes along with fur products.

The anti-fur campaign is one of the battles that are being won by animal rights activists. Companies and people are pledging everyday to ditch fur products.

Join me in putting an end to animals being suffocated, electrocuted, gassed, poisoned, skinned alive, bludgeoned, and tortured for their fur. Speak up for foxes, coyotes, rabbits, dogs, and cats.

End Greyhound Racing

Most people do not know about the atrocities that take place behind the scenes at horse and dog racing events. At the Ebro Greyhound Park in Florida, 32 dogs were found dead.


The fact is, they come from breeders who kill the dogs that don’t fit the mold. Or worse yet, many of them are sold to labs to be experimented on. The ones they decide to use are confined in cages, injured in races and killed if they suffer minor injuries.

Join me in urging Florida to ban greyhound racing by signing a petition by clicking on the link.

Phone Calls Needed to U of M

Photo from PETA

I have posted in the past about U of M using live cats and pigs in terrible experiments. They stick plastic tubes down the throats of cats and cut holes in pig’s limbs, throats, and chests. This form of testing is primitive, cruel, and unnecessary.

We have signed petitions, sent emails, protested at the university, provided other methods with expert backing, and had celebrity endorsements. It hasn’t stopped them.

Emails are easy to delete but phone calls are not. The next step is to call UM President Mary Sue Coleman at 734.764.6270 and politely ask her to replace the use of animals with modern humane simulators that the school already has. It is what all the other universities are using. The cats and pigs need your voice.

PROTECTING THE FOREST PROTECTS ANIMALS

The wilderness is necessary, beautiful, calming, and home to thousands of creatures. When we protect the wilderness, we protect these creatures. We need the trees for our very own lives.

The 111th Congress is about to vote on legislation that will protect these areas. Please join me in telling them we need to pass this for energy, beauty, animals, and the future.

I am from Michigan and I can tell you that Senator Carl Levin and Senator Debbie A. Stabenow always respond to my emails.
