Lethal Dam Design Kills Hundreds of Turtles and Endangered Fish

Jul 16, 2012

fetching data...

Focus:	Animal Welfare
Action Request:	Petition
Location:	United States

The $250 million dollar "Paradise Dam," built in 2005 in Bundaberg, Australia, is a death trap for aquatic life. The $20 million dollar fishways built into the dam do not work, and turtles, fish and eels traveling downstream over the dam are smashed to their death on concrete steps below.

In 22 days, 733 fish were killed as a result of the poor dam design. 152 were large endangered lungfish. The dam's death trap is significantly impacting the numbers of this species.

This rate of carnage cannot continue, especially when an endangered species is at risk. Please sign the petition to convince the Australian Department of Agriculture to promptly address issues with the Paradise Dam.

Beyond Kony

Joseph Kony deserves to be arrested tomorrow. He's spent two decades committing horrific crimes against humanity. However, if he were to be arrested, would the children be safe? Not in the least. So, what can you do? 1. Only buy fair trade 2...
