I posted awhile ago about Bill Clinton going vegan. The doctor who introduced President Clinton to the diet to reverse his heart disease was Caldwell Esselstyn Jr. MD.
Dr. Esselstyn was recently interviewed by Radio New Zealand about the diet and the health benefits of plant-based nutrition.
Here is a link to hear the 40 minute interview in its entirety. Radio Interview

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.“

You only have until Wednesday December 22nd at noon.
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.
