I agree we should fight to protect the animals together because they're special and they need our help.  One of these days these animals are going to become extinct if we don't do something soon we will only beable to see them in picture books.

PICKETED: Dozens of protesters representing People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals greeted Jennifer Lopez at the Los Angeles premiere of her new movie Monster-in-Law with signs declaring her the "monster-in-fur" for her Sweetface fashion collection, the Associated Press reports. The protesters, who included some people dressed in animal suits, complained that they have asked several times that Lopez eliminate fur from her clothing line but have been ignored. "She could make a difference.

Engineers try to save moose

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — At night on a dark country road, all that the headlights catch are the shadowy legs the size of tree trunks rising out of the pavement. Standing six feet at the shoulder, weighing up to 500 kilograms, with massive antlers more than a metre and a half across, moose tower over automobiles and have no fear of them.

Increasingly the undisputed giants of the northern forest are tangling with traffic as they expand south. Massachusetts motorists hit 52 moose last year, a more than sixfold increase in four years.

For decades road officials have relied on warning signs and publicity campaigns such as New Hampshire's "Brake for Moose" bumper stickers.

But now some traffic engineers around the country are experimenting with redesigning roads to accommodate wandering wildlife and using high tech laser and infrared devices, developed for space exploration and anti-missile systems, to warn motorists when a moose wanders into the road

"We're investigating ways to manipulate the drivers and also ways to manipulate the animals," said John Perry, a biologist with the Maine Department of Transportation. "And when moose are involved, it might be easier to manipulate the driver."

Moose, unlike deer and bear, are reluctant to use some of the new protective alternatives such as animal underpasses fashioned out of giant culverts, said Bill Ruediger, recently retired head of the U.S. Forest Service's highway ecology program.

In a typical collision, the car hits the animal's legs, causing the moose to crash down through the windshield, crushing the roof, and landing in the passenger compartment.

One in every 75 people who hit a moose is killed compared to one in 5,000 who hit a deer, said Bill Woytek, moose and deer project leader for the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife.

And as the snow drifts recede and the first green shoots begin appearing along the sun-warmed pavement of northern roads, biologists are warning motorists to be on the lookout for noshing moose. They are also drawn to the road salt that collects on the pavement and in the small wetlands and hollows along the roads, Perry said. "We call them 'moose wallows.'"

Most collisions happen in the spring, when yearling moose head out on their own, or during the fall mating season. A bull moose in pursuit of his lady love is not going to pause to let a minivan pass.

And young moose have a tendency to wander into suburban swimming pools and city downtowns. A few years ago, one even turned up in Boston's bustling financial district.

It is not easy to keep a moose off the road. Fences need to be at least eight feet high and specially designed animal overpasses, more than 100 feet wide, are very costly.

Traditional warning signs tend to get ignored after a few months or years, the engineers said. Or just disappear.

"People steal them," Mr. Woytek said. "And they don't do any good in a dorm room."

But drivers will slow down when confronted with a flashing sign that a moose is in the road, said Marcel Huijser of the Western Transportation Institute at Montana State University, which is overseeing a joint project by 12 states and the federal government on the use of animal sensor syst

Here is a story I received from HSUS.  It is a sad story regarding puppy mills.
