Remind Santa Cruz Animal Services to a NO-KILL policy
Target: Santa Cruz County Government
...Animals are treated worse than criminals, they are defenseless and helpless, and they live in supposedly the most civilized country in the world.
Yet, we kill them, hourly, daily, 365 days of the year. The vicious cycle continues with some shelters still using barbaric methods of killing these dogs and cats because of ignorance, greed, and apathetic laziness.
We demand a change in policy to Santa Cruz Animal Services KILL policies and remand it be changed to a NO-KILL policy and guideline shelter.

Help Stop Female Genital Mutilation
Target: To:  U.S. President & U.S. Congress
"We, the citizens of the United States of America, in solidarity with our suffering sisters throughout the world, demand effective and immediate action from the President of the United States and the United States Congress to end Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). FGM is gravely immoral and flies in the face of the liberating spirit of America. As we would protect our American sisters, we must now protect our sisters abroad. This violent subjugation and mutilation, this horrendous act of terrorism against women everywhere must come to an end.....

Court gives Santeria priest OK to sacrifice goats
Target: Texas Legal System
    DALLAS- A federal appeals court reversed a lower court's ruling on Friday that barred a Santeria priest from sacrificing goats in his Texas home, saying a city's decision to prohibit the ritual violated the man's religious rights.
    Jose Merced, 46, accuses the city of Euless, Texas, of trampling on his constitutional right to religious exercise. The city claims the sacrifices jeopardize public health and violate its slaughterhouse and animal cruelty ordinances.

Tell Gaston Co NC Animal Control No to Gas, etc
Target: North Carolina & Gaston County Representatives
    They need to stop throwing them in mass numbers into the gas chamber where they fight for their lives out of fear and die without respect or dignity.  Tell Gaston County Animal Control to clean up their act, pass inspections, treat the animals with respect and stop using gas chambers. It should be against the law.

Ban The Chaining of Dogs in the state of Arizona
Target: AZ Governor Jan Brewer
    This Petition is to help ban the chaining/tethering of animals in the state of Arizona. Many other counties and states have put a permanent ban on chaining/tethering dogs, and have seen an improvement with the amount of dog attacks, dog fighting and neglect.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Please Stand Strong!
Target: shirepresident@broome.wn.com.au
    "Thank you for taking a stand against the brutal killing of thousands of dolphins in Japan. The recent no dolphin kill policy now being observed in Taiji is a direct result of your Shire suspension of sister-city ties with Taiji. Please do not weaken your stand. At risk is a return to the slaughter of thousands of dolphins and sale of mercury-laden meat to the people of Japan.

IMPORTANT!
Protect Your Access to Food and Supplements - Stop the Food Safety Bill in the Senate
Target: United States Senate
    A new bill on the floor of the Senate (S-510) could lead to the restriction of your access to quality, nutritious food and dietary supplements by giving the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) control over farming practices and starting a slippery slope toward harmonization with Codex food and dietary supplement standards. This bill needs to be amended or defeated.

Petition To Make It Unlawful To Euthanize Homeless Pets
Target: President Obama 
    As you probably already know each year in America an estimated 7 million adorable dogs like Bo, cats, even puppies and kittens are euthanized in animal control facilities. 7 Millions!!! Because of outdated small pounds innocent and lovable pets went through terrifying and painful death by means of gas chamber, heart stick and legal injection.,,

SAVE THE PIGEONS OF VENICE, ITALY -SALVARE I COLOMBI DI VENEZIA
Target:The Mayor of Venice Massimo Cacciari and all decision makers in Venice, Italy
    This is a petition for abolishing the new law in Venice (Italy) that forbids people to feed pigeons in the WHOLE city and if one is caught throwing crumbs to the birds is fined. The Venetian community has also ordered the killing of hundreds of pigeons.
    The law against pigeons is based only on wrong preconceptions and a hatred for the birds which unfortunately is shared by many Italian people.
Pigeons could also be fed with sterilizing medicines so that their number remained under control.

Protect America's Wild Horses
Target: U.S. Senate
    Federal land throughout the American West is home to thousands of healthy wild horses. Yet as herds continue to grow, Bureau of Land Management officials have raised the possibility of killing as many as 30,000 of these wild animals. Slaughtering healthy animals to control populations should not be an option! Urge your Senators to support the bill to protect America's wild horses and burros.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Stop Using Chimpanzees in Animal Experimentation
Target: Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Validation of Alternative Methods
...The tests are redundant and unnecessary because non-animal antibodies have already been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or are in late-stage clinical trials. Most of the other 1,300 captive chimpanzees in the U.S. are confined to zoos or used and abused in the entertainment industry. Only about 500 live in sanctuaries. Please help the chimps and urge the ICCVAM to ban all testing and experimentation on them now.

Save the Threatened Caribou in Ontario
Target: Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources
    Human beings have the privilege of sharing this earth with many other species. We have the ability to protect these species, to ensure that this world retains the vast and varied beauty of life that now graces it. Yet many animal and plant species continue to fall into decline. The caribou populations in Ontario have recently been identified in this category. This is a problem not just for the people of Ontario or even Canada. It is a problem that should be tackled by the entire world.
