GOOD NEWS!!!
5. Victory for Farm Animals—California Bans Tail Docking of Cows
    Attention, animal lovers! After a long fight, California’s dairy cows have emerged victorious! The ASPCA applauds California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who made history by signing into law SB 135, a bill forbidding the cruel and unnecessary amputation of dairy cows’ tails. Since tail docking is already outlawed for horses in California, SB 135 will simply add the words "and cattle" to the law's language.
    Tail docking is a common practice of the dairy industry, where up to two-thirds of a dairy cow’s tail is amputated without the use of painkiller or anesthesia. The docking is often performed by applying a constrictive rubber band to the tail, cutting off blood flow and allowing the tail to fall off. This often leads to neuromas—dense masses of nerve endings associated with both chronic and acute pain. Infected wounds resulting from careless tail docking are also common.

Stop the Kill After Attack Method
Target: United States Congress
    Every year hundreds of animals, some threatened, are killed by US law enforcement groups. The reason is animal attacks. The policy of many US agencies when an animal attack occurs is simply kill as many of that animal after the attack....All animals including bears, wolves, coyotes, deer, and many others are affected by this policy. Please help correct the system and protect animals from a vendetta killing policy.

Ask Adidas to stop using Kangaroo leather for their shoes
Target: Adidas, sports wear, CEO Herbert Heiner,  Herzogenaurach, Germany
    Those are the 4, only four people,  Adidas CEO Herbert Heiner, Glenn Bennett, Robin J. Stalker and  Erich Stamminger, that are responsible for 70% of the cruelest wildlife massacre in the world!!! They don't kill them themselves, they just buy the hydes, 70% of the killed  Kangaroos. Without Adidas, there would be no market!! Not worth while. So urge Adidas to give up Kangaroos and thus keep this cruel trade alive.

Thank President Obama for His Strong Support of the UN
Target: President Obama
    Since taking office, President Obama has put engagement with the critically important global body on his priority list. Not only has the U.S. paid long overdue bills to the UN, we have also joined the Human Rights Council and started demonstrating real engagement with other nations.
    In his speech, the president outlined how America would lead in addressing common challenges, but was also clear in stating that all countries must step up and work together to do the same. From nonproliferation to global warming, no nation can do it alone, and the UN is the only universal institution that can bring the world together... now add your thanks to our president!

Call Out 30 GOP Senators Who Voted Against Rape Victims
Target: 30 GOP Senators who voted against amendment; CC: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell
    Senator Al Franken introduced the amendment to the appropriations bill to prevent a complete disregard for the rights of rape victims after hearing the story of a Halliburton/KBR employee who claimed she was gang raped but her employment contract prevented her from taking legal action. Ten GOP Senators voted for the amendment, and it passed -- but the 30 others must know how outraged we are that they didn't vote for giving legal rights to rape victims! These senators are: ...
