VERY URGENT! Protect travel rights for Italian dogs!
 
Target: c.guida@rfi.it, cosweb@rfi.it, Ferrovie dello Stato S.p.A. ,  Piazza della Croce
 
From October 1st a new rule will become valid in the Italian Railway company: dogs over 6kgs will be forbidden access on trains......
 
Please note: In Italy each year millions of dogs are abandoned by people who can't bother going on holidays with their "friends". It is a very serious issue, and both animalist societies and government institutions are trying to deal with it. Trenitalia's new rule would just incourage more people to abandon their pets.....

Reprimand Sherriff Mike Scott of Lee County, FL
 
Target: Florida Governor, Charlie Crist.
 
This is a petition asking that Sheriff Mike Scott, of Lee County FL, be reprimanded for his partisan, divisive, and racially charged remarks at the rally with Sarah Palin yesterday, Monday Oct 6.
County Sheriff, Mike Scott in full uniform, spoke at a political rally for the McCain-Palin presidential campaign. He spoke of Barack Obama, calling him "Barack Hussein Obama".....

This is the same rally where a supporter shouted "KILL HIM" (about Obama) and neither Sarah Palin, nor any of the security/staff, batted an eye.

Release Ratchet from Iraq Now!
 
Target: Animal Welfare and Military
 
On October 1st, the United States military committed a crime against their own mentally wounded U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq.  Commanding officers ordered the confiscation of a dog, Ratchet, befriended by a group of soldiers during a 15th month of deployment. Ratchet has been a lifeline to Sgt. Gwen Beberg. This morning, Ratchet was on his way to SPCA International rescue experts at the Baghdad Airport to be flown home to Gwen's parents in Minneapolis, MN when Sgt. Beberg's commanding officers ordered Ratchet confiscated and held in Iraq to face certain death.

Keep Colorado's Roadless Area Protected!
 
Target: Roadless Area Conservation - Colorado Comments
 
Despite eight years of trying to undermine Roadless Rule protections, the Bush Administration has had remarkably little success in opening roadless areas to development. That's real cause for celebration. But in Colorado, the future of our roadless areas is still in doubt. It's critically important that you tell the Forest Service that Colorado's roadless areas must be protected – for their wilderness, wildlife, watersheds – and for future generations.

Help save UN Lucky puppies! Get Lucky Puppy out of Marketplace
 
Target: Lucky Puppy Pet Store, Dennis Robertson, General Manager
 
 
We, the undersigned, are outraged and appalled that you continue to allow Lucky Puppy to remain in the mall. It is deeply disturbing to see living creatures on display in glass windows, being sold as if they are no different from the other accessories in the store.  This causes people to purchase puppies on impulse, and without the understanding that owning a pet is a major responsibility, which leads to many puppies being abandoned or surrendered to shelters, where they may be euthanized simply because there are not enough resources to care for them.

American Cancer Society Animal Testing
 
Target: American Cancer Society
 
American Cancer Society is known for helping to find a cure for cancer, and helping the people that have been touched by it. But behind closed lab doors, they construct cruel tests on mice and rats, even dogs and cats. Before better technology, this type of thing was the norm, but now with the proper technology, scientists can perform animal-friendly tests on computer models that behave exactly like the real organs, their scientists can find a cruelty-free cure.

Consumer demand for sustainable seafood can act as an extremely powerful incentive for better fisheries management. If you buy or ask for seafood that comes from sustainable sources, you are helping to protect our marine environment and, at the same time, ensuring that seafood can be enjoyed for many years to come.

    Be a voice for Darfur

    Last night, both Senator McCain and Senator Obama spoke with conviction about ending the genocide in Darfur.

    Dear Mr. President, As a candidate you promised "unstinting resolve" to end the genocide in Darfur.

    I urge you to keep that promise by making Darfur a priority from day one of your term to achieve:

  • Protection of civilians from violence, starvation and disease
  • Sustainable peace for all Sudan
  • Justice for victims and accountability for perpetrators

    Target:
  • Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
     
     
     
     
     Last week, the Governor vetoed AB 2386, a vital bill to reform secret ballot elections for farm workers. With this single stroke of his pen, the governor denied farm workers the tool they need to protect themselves. While we are disappointed with the Governor's veto, sadly we are not surprised......
     
    Governor Schwarzenegger's enforcement has not saved lives. And his administration has not "rigorously enforced" the law. In May of this year, 17-year old Maria Isabel Vasquez Jimenez died of heat illness, working for Merced Farm Labor.....

    It is time to get the government to cease this cruelty against these very important animals.  The flying fox is listed as a vunerable species yet the NSW government continues to allow permits for farmers to shoot these animals as a means of damage mitigation.  This results in horrific injuries to the bat as they are very often shot in the tree and left there to die a slow and painful death.....

    Status: True
     
    There is truth in this tale. Yet its inherent warning is overblown.

    While we cannot vet the incident described by "Sue in Wyantskill" involving her 14-year-old son, the underlying claim is demonstrably true — it is possible for someone who chows down on pancakes made from a mix that has sat around too long to suffer a potentially fatal anaphylactic reaction to the molds that have grown therein. We know this to be so because it has happened before, and the resultant death was documented.

    I am a cat rescuer of 12 years. I have been out of work for almost a year, am flat broke, and am forced to leave my home.

    I have very nice cats since they were born, that I need to find homes for ASAP! These are not feral cats. They range in age from 1 1/2 - 10. One is fifteen.

    I need good indoor homes for these cats. I am running out of time!

    These photos are very sad and disturbing.  I know most of you care for animals as much as I do, so this is going to be very difficult for you to look at.  If you can help, I beg you to do so.  Critter Crossings is a fantastic rescue located in California-USA and I believe you can trust that the money you donate for this poor soul will go towards helping him.  As always, if you are unable to donate, please pass this on to your friends.

    thanks,

    This is the saddest dog I personally have seen. When they wheeled him out, tears just streamed down my face. He is emaciated in the true sense of the word and his eyes were just full of fear.


    Photobucket

    This poor boy is in really bad shape. We had only seen his face in the shelter picture, and his poor body tells the whole story. He was to week to walk, they had to wheel him to my car.


    Photobucket

    Photobucket

    No one at the shelter knew his story, but someone let this dog get this way. This angers me more than you know. How could people be so cruel.
    grrrr!

    Photobucket

    His ears are ripped up.


    Photobucket

    He has scrapes all over his body.


    Photobucket


    Phone call came in from Medical Director and he is on fluids, has had blood panel and xray of belly. All is clear and most levels normal and able to function and there is not organ damage at this point. It appears that he has a functioning liver and pancreas (only so many tests can be done at this point).


    Possible liver shunt but that test cannot be performed until he has eaten, which he has not in days.


    He needs a blood transfusion as well as a plasma transfusion which I've already agreed to do banking on the fact that I can raise these funds for him... his blood is very thin and he cannot stand a chance of recovery without this. Only then will we know what his prognosis is, which will be in about 48 hours... minimum cost is $1500 in addition to the other emergency care... I think he's worth it and hope you do too, enough to crosspost and share with your colleagues and friends.


    **PLEASE CROSSPORT OUR PLEA FOR PHOENIX***

    ANY AMOUNT OF DONATION WILL HELP US FIGHT FOR THIS GUY'S LIFE

    A Big Win for Wolves -- Thank You!

    http://action.defenders.org/site/R?i=DVbdXcKdXheUDfjUe4IIwg..

    A court ruling issued Friday could save hundreds of wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies by halting planned wolf hunts. You helped make this victory happen!

    • Read the Press Release: Read our statement on the court ruling.
    • Learn More: Visit our blog to learn more about our efforts to save wolves.
    • Support Our Work: Make a secure online donation now to help us save wolves in the Greater Yellowstone region.
    Dear Regina,

    I was at home in Boise when I heard the news Friday: A federal judge has restored endangered species protections for wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies.

    The ruling by a district court judge in Montana could save the lives of hundreds of wolves by stopping this fall's planned wolf sport hunting seasons in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming.

    I want to thank you for the crucial role that caring people like you have played in this initial victory.

    It’s a huge win that couldn’t have happened without the thousands of Defenders activists and donors who have worked to support our efforts here in the Northern Rockies by contributing money to our Wolf Legal Defense Fund, supporting our on-the-ground work and much more.

    But we still have a long fight ahead of us.

    Idaho Governor C.L. Butch Otter -- who said last year that he wanted to be one of the first in the state to shoot a wolf -- immediately criticized the judge’s ruling to restore protections for wolves. Wyoming’s Governor has vowed that his state will fight the ruling.

    Idaho Anti-Wolf Coalition leader Ron Gillette was even more direct, telling a local reporter that "[i]t is going to be all-out war."

    Rest assured, Defenders of Wildlife will keep fighting for wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the rest of the Northern Rockies by continuing to...
    • Make the case in court to restore full protections for these endangered wolves;
    • Pay for guard dogs, range riders, turbo fladry fencing and other non-lethal wolf management strategies to keep livestock and wolves safe; and
    • Combat distortions and misperceptions about wolves to build tolerance and understanding for the vital role that wolves play in healthy ecosystems.

    Regina, we have a tough fight ahead of us. For now, please accept my sincere gratitude for all you’ve done to help us save wolves.

    Suzanne Stone, Defenders of WildlifeFor the Wild Ones,

    Suzanne Asha Stone

    These are just two of many shelter kittens I volunteer with that desperately need homes.



    They've been here too long and are tired of living in a little cage, can someone rescue them and give them a loving home?

    They are in Houston, TX and I'll be happy to show you any of them, just send me an email.





    Oh behalf of all the shelter animals, thank you!

    There are hundreds more, cats, kittens, puppies and dogs.





    Please forward this on and let me know if you are interested in either fostering an animal to give them a short cage break or adopting.





    Thank you
