Blog: Please sign  

Hi everyone. Please sign this petition. There is a beach in
California called Casa Beach. The local harbor seals use this beach to have pups and as a haul out to rest. A group of rich locals are trying to dredge off this beach to scare the seals away and reclaim it for their human selfishness. There are miles and miles of beach and this section is small. The seals need us. Please forward this and sign. Thanks. Ty

Alert: save the wolves!  
Focus:Endangered Species
Action Request:Donation
Location:United States
From the defenders team I'd like to share the following:

When the Alaska Board of Game begins meeting next week, they’ll consider a proposal to extend the aerial gunning of wolves into May -- prime denning season for Alaska’s wolves.

Under the proposal, airborne marksmen licensed by the state could target entire packs -- just as the mothers of newly born pups are searching for food and their offspring remain vulnerable in their dens.


Extending the aerial gunning season is just one of the proposals the Board will consider over a ten-day period.

Also on the slate are measures that will collectively eliminate 80% of the wolves in a 50,000 square mile area; to make permanent “emergency” measures the Board took to get around a court ruling that temporarily halted aerial gunning in January; and to allow hunters to chase down wolves on snow machines.

We’re not taking any of this lying down. Next week, our legal expert will be on hand at the Board of Game meeting to argue for sensible, science-based, and humane management of Alaska’s wolves.


Aerial gunners have wasted no time getting back to gunning down wolves. In the five weeks since the Board of Game reinstated aerial gunning, more than 50 wolves have been slaughtered -- more than twice as many as had been killed this year prior to a state judge’s ruling that temporarily halted aerial gunning!

What Defenders Is Doing to Stop Aerial Gunning

The situation is dire, but we’re working hard to finally put an end to this brutal practice. Here’s what we’re going to do…

  • Take it to the People. We’re encouraging our Alaskan members and supporters to sign a petition being circulated by Alaskans for Wildlife, a group trying to bring aerial gunning before Alaskan voters. Alaskans for Wildlife’s signature gatherers are close to obtaining the more than 31,000 signatures needed to add the issue to the statewide ballot in 2008. Airborne wolf-killing by private pilots has twice been voted down by Alaskans.
  • Take it to the Media. To better highlight how brutal this practice is, Defenders has sent three film crews to Alaska in the past two years to get footage of an actual aerial gunning operation.
  • Take it to Congress. We’re meeting with Members of Congress to make it abundantly clear that the federal Airborne Hunting Act prevents states such as Alaska from allowing aerial gunning under the guise of ensuring high moose and other game populations.
  • Take it to the Courts. Alaska should obey the law without being sued, but Defenders’ expert legal team is prepared to challenge Alaska’s aerial gunning program in the courts. 
 
I am confident that we can end Alaska’s barbaric aerial gunning practice, but I know we’re going to need your help to do it.

Make a tax-deductible donation now to help support our Campaign to Save Alaska’s Wolves. If you’d prefer to donate over the phone, just call us toll free at 1-800-385-9712.

We’re fighting to protect Alaska’s wolves. I sincerely hope you’ll help.

Yours truly,

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan 31 (Reuters) - Two elephants explored their new
sanctuary free of chains on Tuesday, the first of four pairs to arrive
as part of the most ambitious relocation effort ever mounted for abused
pachyderms, organizers said.
Minnie and Lottie were the first of eight female Asian and African
elephants to make the 12-hour trip from northern Illinois inside a
custom-built truck trailer to their rural refuge, the Elephant
Sanctuary 50 miles (80 km) southwest of Nashville. The elephants
came to the sanctuary from circus supplier Hawthorn Corp., which
settled U.S. charges it mistreated a dozen elephants by agreeing to
send them away. Hawthorn has denied mistreating any animals. The
elephants were chained at Hawthorn and at various circuses when they
weren't performing. Some of the sanctuary newcomers will have to
be quarantined for up to a year because of exposure to tuberculosis,
sanctuary founder Carol Buckley said. All were deemed healthy enough to
travel, though one elephant died last month. One of the freshly
unloaded elephants, which has spent much of its life chained or
confined, was startled when a sapling it grabbed with its trunk snapped
back. The eight newcomers will eventually join 11 other rescued
elephants -- including two originally from Hawthorn -- who live on the
sanctuary's secluded 2,700 acres (1,000 hectares) near the town of
Hohenwald. Buckley, who founded the preserve a decade ago after
adopting a baby elephant torn from its mother, said the relocated
elephants will enjoy "a glorious reunion ... as a family to live out
their lives in freedom." "We had to build a new barn and new
fencing and be ready to house and feed guests who eat an awful lot and
are coming to stay," Buckley said. The sanctuary raised $3
million for a new barn for the elephants and estimates it needs $2
million a year to look after the eight.




It takes quite a bit of supplies to care for these girls and their medical needs. PLEASE, PLEASE visit the Caravan to Freedom Emergency Wish List to see how YOU CAN HELP!
