Broome, Stand Strong on Dolphin Slaughter!
Target: Shire Council of Broome, Australia
Under intense pressure from the Japanese government, the Shire Council of Broome, Australia, is considering reversing its stand to suspend its sister-city relationship with Taiji. Our sources indicate that the suspension is a key reason why the dolphin kills have been halted. We need your help today!!: If the Shire Council reverses, the killing is likely to resume.

Stop The Feeding Of Dogs To Indonesia Python!
Target: Indonesia Supreme Court
I would like to bring to your attention a python that consumes 3 to 4 dogs a month. In an average year the snakes eats 36 to 48 innocent dogs. The 985 pound python is located in Kendal, Indonesia. These dogs are innocent creatures and they do not deserve this inhumane act. I am sure there is some other alterative food source.

Support Benet: Make it worldwide! Support the fight against Ricardo Eckerd, the offender of this brutal crime!
Not long ago Ricardo Eckerd, a resident from Ezeiza, Buenos Aires (Argentina) decided to light a street dog on fire for the sake of his entertainment.
    Benet, the burned dog, was very well known around Ezeiza and it is why the ones who cared for him have done so ever since that day. It was because of their love that Benet is alive today and it is because of their love that he wants to keep living.
    Till today, Ricardo Eckerd, the offender, tries to continue his normal routine in Ezeiza, but can't. Or might we say: they don't let him. Since the brutal attack became public he doen't stop getting home calls, cellphone calls, letters, mails, texts, you name it.

Podenco stoned to death in Tenerife, Canary Islands - Please Take Action
On Oct.2nd a dog that was supposedly a family member was cruelly killed in Guimar on one of Canary Islands Tenerife by a 16 years old boy by being stoned and beaten so long until the dog died.
    This case has been reported, police got involved and charges pressed against the juvenile already, but still many actions need to be taken, we cannot accept such cruelties, we should never visit countries where animal welfare issues are rather ignored by the authorities than being taken into consideration.
PLEASE SEND E-MAIL TO THE ADDRESSES IN THIS PETITION AND USE/EDIT THE SAMPLE LETTER.

Fight for Strong Health Care Reform
Target: U.S. House and Senate
Every year 99,000 Americans die from preventable health care acquired infections.For years, Congress has put off dealing with our nation's health care crisis and right now, those who oppose health care reform are stepping up their game to drown out our voices.
Urge Congress to fight for a strong health care bill that
features access to affordable, quality care for every American, efforts to manage costs and financing that is fair to all!!

GOP: Stop Spewing Health Care Lies
Target: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell
Tell Senator McConnell: Stop the lies! Force Republican Senators to debate policies actually in the bill, rather than spreading salacious rumors that don't meet the fact-check.

Protect Against Toxic Chemicals
NOTE: I sent for feedback where they are going to sent our signatures to, but becuase this is a big organization I trust them to do the right thing.
The 33 year-old law that is supposed to protect Americans from exposure to toxic chemicals is so outdated that China legally exports toxic materials into the U.S. that are not only banned in Japan and Europe, but can't even be used domestically in China.
    It's so bad that every American alive today, including newborn babies, has hundreds of chemicals flowing through their blood. Some of these are linked to increases in prostate and breast cancers, diabetes, heart disease, lowered sperm counts, early puberty and other diseases and disorders....

Health Care is a Right, Not a Privilege
Target: U.S. Senate
In the world's wealthiest nation, it's unconscionable that people are turned away from health care coverage because of a pre-existing condition and that families are just one illness away from bankruptcy!
    Health care is a right and every American deserves affordable, high-quality coverage. Urge your Senators to support real health care reform that includes a not-for-profit public option.

Rebuilding the Lives of Child Soldiers
The U.N. estimates more than 10,000 children were conscripted to service in Sierra Leone and that at any time there may be more than 300,000 children involved with fighting forces worldwide.
Former child soldiers need programs aimed at allowing them to finish their education and have healthy, productive lives. Pledge to support these children and the organizations helping them to build lives of hope and opportunity.

Help the Poor Deal with the Effects of Climate Change
We are deeply disappointed that the bill passed by the House of Representatives falls far short of the funding needed to help poor people adapt to climate change.
    Poor people should not bear an undue burden of the impacts of climate change or the global adjustments needed to address it. Urge the Senate to help poor people adapt to climate change.

Ask the EPA to Protect Prairie Dogs from Poisons
Black-tailed prairie dogs are currently being considered for protection under the Endangered Species Act, and their decline has had a devastating effect on black-footed ferrets -- one of the rarest animals in the world. So how could the EPA even think about approving two deadly poisons that would help speed the decline of these imperiled species?

Demand Safe Drinking Water in Schools
Urge U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to address the problem of toxic drinking water in the nation's schools.
Over the last decade, the drinking water at thousands of schools across the country has been found to contain unsafe levels of lead, pesticides and dozens of other toxins that put the nation's students at risk....

Stop Gadimai
Target: Nepal Government: To the Ministers of Agriculture and Cooperatives, Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation, Peace Secretariat and Law and Justice and Parliamentary Affairs.
Can you imagine a live goat being thrown in a pond and torn apart by young men? Can you picture 7,000 young buffaloes being rounded up and killed by a thousand drunk men carrying khukuri knives? A festival where 200,000 animals are killed to please a goddess? Public beheading of countless young buffaloes and goats carried out by government and army? In 1780, Nepal outlawed human sacrifice. Animals, however, are allowed to be killed to satisfy the goddess Kali, and for other ceremonies. Mass sacrifice takes place during different festivals, especially in Terai districts....

STOP largest polluter of the Netherlands, the one in Curaçao
Target: European Parliament, Governments of the Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles and Curaçao
Curaçao’s refinery, Refineria Isla (Curaçao) BV, is the largest polluter of the Netherlands, the largest single polluter in Curaçao and probably the largest polluter in the European Community (EC).
The Netherlands and Curaçao governments turn a blind eye to the plea of 25,000 locals, who live under the worst circumstances, all this just to please PDVSA, Venezuela’s state refinery that operates this outdated oil factory. (1915). 25,000 people live under the worst circumstances. High ranked Curaçao politicians are employed and paid by PDVSA.
People take great pride in the humble little homes they have built over the years with hard earned money. They can’t move. They ask YOUR help. PLEASE listen to them and act, even if it is far away from your home.

Animal Cops in Greece
Target: Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Development
Greek Law 2017 (1992): .."No one should pointlessly make an animal suffer or cause it distress.   No one should abandon a domestic animal.."
Still many animals are abused and live in agony, dying a death of torture.
Come together with us and link your voice with ours, so that we can change and better the conditions and the lives of the animals in our country.

Subject: Please re-consider your decision.
 
 
Dear Sir,
I am very, very disapointed reading that you decided to supply products of Vick, or even just supplying products TO Vick-the dog killer and animal torturer of many years. Vick has no regrets at all, his only regret is that he is caught! Your sympathy should go out to the innocent and tortured dogs and not to the man who is guilty in doing this. I hope you will redraw your decision because I and many others will not wear your brand, connected to Vick, the dog torturer.
