Blog: respect to all  
someone has left care2 today due to some nasty commets that where made to this individual by others in the care2 community i find this rather upsetting i think this person has a big heart and is very intelligent ,this person researches every side of what they are talking about before posting a commet to another. i think we all need to treat each other with respect alot of us here are on the same side and i do not find it approiate to treat each other disrespectfuly if we don't agree with another's views or have other friends do the same to an individual .I hate to say this but there are not many people in this world who think or feel like we do i know i've looked long and hard for others a they don't come around that often so we need to stick togther and most importantly respect each other
leave child like behavior somewhere else not here!to the individual who left us today i am truly sorry to see you go you will be missed.may your jorneys take great distances and bring you great knowledge...diversity is the nessicity to life

Blog: ok here's red lobster's response to seal hunt  
Dear Ms. Lessard,

Thank you for sharing your concerns about the seal hunt that takes
place each year in the waters off Newfoundland, Canada.

Red Lobster is committed to protecting the sustainability of marine
resources so our oceans can continue supporting a growing world
population.  For more information, please visit
www.dardenrestaurants.com/com_ff_preservation.asp.

Red Lobster has never bought or sold seal products and has never been
involved in the seal hunt.  While we are not aware of any major seafood
restaurant chain or supermarket chain in the United States that is
avoiding all Canadian seafood, we are not presently buying anything from
Newfoundland.

Last June, we traveled to Ottawa and met with Canada's Minister of
Fisheries and Oceans to express our concerns about the seal hunt, and we
have already written to the new Prime Minister urging the government to
utilize science-based policies that ensure the sustainability of the
seal population.  We believe this is the most constructive way to achieve
positive change.

I hope this clarifies our position. Thank you for caring and taking the
time to write.


Wanda
Guest Relations Representative

Blog: here's another response for ya guys i know how much ya love
these 		 
We assure you that Sealord is not in any way involved in whaling or the sale of whale meat.  We are a New Zealand company, 50% owned by Maori (the indigenous people of New Zealand) through Aotearoa Fisheries Limited which has made it clear it does not condone the hunting of whales for commercial purposes.  The New Zealand and Australian Governments are strongly opposed to whaling.

We have made our other shareholder, Nissui, fully aware of the Governments’ position on whaling and the strength of feeling in New Zealand and Australia about the Japanese Government’s whaling programme.  Nissui is also aware of Aotearoa Fisheries’ position.  If you want further information on Nissui or the Japanese Government’s scientific whaling programme we suggest you contact Nissui or the Japanese Government.

Blog: HERE IS A RESPONSE I RECIEVED FRO RINGLING BROS. ABOUT
ELEPHANTS THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO SEE 		 
Thank you for writing us here at Ringling.com. We appreciate your
concern about our animals.

Ringling Bros. provides the highest standards of care to all our animal
performers and employs an animal husbandry team that provides a stable,
stimulating and rewarding environment where animals thrive year round.
Contrast this with people whose expertise is in advocacy,
misinformation and speculation and who provide other unsuspecting people with
inaccurate, dated and out of context materials. We appreciate the opportunity
to set the record straight.

We realize that some people have different opinions on whether or not
animals should be used in entertainment. However, be assured that
animals are an important and beloved part of our circus community, and their
care and well being are a commitment we take very seriously. We care
for the animals in a knowledgeable, concerned and humane way, both
because that is the right thing to do and because the animals are among the
most important and valuable parts of the circus experience. It would be
foolhardy for us to do anything but give them the best of care.

Our animals are not actors. To be assured of their well being, one only
has to see them in the ring. Because the performances are based on what
the animals do during play and socialization, training is simply a
matter of encouraging the animals to do what comes naturally on cue to
music.  Any type of training involving abuse, mistreatment or fear is
counterproductive, and produces an animal that is unpredictable - not a
desired characteristic in performing animals.

At the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Center for Elephant
Conservation, the world's leading facility for the reproduction, research and
retirement of the endangered Asian elephant, we are very fortunate to
have added 16 elephants to the worldwide population of this endangered
species that now numbers fewer than 40,000.  In fact, thanks to the
hands-on care developed over 130 years of our partnership with this
magnificent species, we are now expecting four more elephants to join our family
next year. In addition to our Conservation Center Ringling Bros. is a
founding member of the International Elephant Foundation. Ringling Bros.
has helped sponsor efforts to provide emergency veterinary care,
supplies, research scholarships and grants, and management training to
elephant trainers in Sumatra, Indonesian.

Throughout the history of the circus, animals have been a major
attraction for young and old alike, and with good reason -- they amaze and
educate their audience with feats of intelligence, strength and beauty. In
every city we visit, our audiences have the opportunity to view both
exotic and domestic animals that many would otherwise never have the
chance to enjoy. Independent studies have shown that the public display of
animals contributes to heightened public awareness of the animals
themselves and of man's responsibility for their well being and protection.
This is especially true for children, who not only become more aware of
the animals and their special needs and abilities, but also experience
first hand the importance of caring for and respecting all animals.
Judging from the feedback we receive from our millions of patrons, exotic
animals continue to be a unique and treasured part of the circus
experience. At Ringling Bros., we are very proud of the role we have played
in introducing these magnificent animals to generation after generation
of circus goers and their families.

We hope that we have addressed some of your concerns about our animal
care policies and practices.
