Help to Win Congressional Vote to End the Slaughter

Deep in Alaska, the aerial hunting of wolves continues this winter. More than 1,000 of these precious predators, the wolves have been chased to exhaustion and gunned down in deep snow. The animals die an slow agonizing death, crawling and suffering and trying to get away, or until the shooter sends a final execution shot into their heads.

Defenders of Wildlife and many people around the nation are trying to urge Congress to pass the vote to end this barbaric practice and from spreading to other states like the Montana, Idaho, Wyoming. More and more government representatives and senators are getting on board.

Spread the word and if you can, donate to help Defenders continue to fight for the lives of this fast-disappearing species.

More Yellowstone Wolves Killed

It is disturbing to me to recently learned that wildlife INSIDE Yellowstone National park, a protected piece of territory by the U.S. allows the Dept of Fish and Game to approve the killing of wildlife, especially wolves, an endangered specie. The misinterpretation of why wolves need to be killed for the sake of farming in nearby territories and controlling of population is absurd.

The killing of a top predator in any wild territory can have devastating chain reaction for the rest of the foodchain and wildlife. People don’t realize that, if you kill off the predators, that will contribute to the overpopulation of animals down the food chain, and like a domino effect, more of them will need to be eradicated because there is no more top predator to control that population.

It is true that everyday, a wolf or a wolve pack, including PUPS are cruelly killed in the Northwest. Recently, more than 60 wolves in the family, have been killed in Idaho and Montana, including Yellowstone’s famed Cottonwood Pack and a radio-collared female from Idaho’s Phantom Hill Pack. This time, they’ve left the newborn pups to die and starve through the coming brutal winter months in that region.

Save Praire Dogs From Being Poisoned!

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is supposed to be the agency watching out for our environment and helping to protect our wildlife. But now it has considered approving two new POISONS (Rozol and Kaput-D) to eradicate this already declining species across the Great Plains. As if killing wolves in Yellowstone is not enough, an endangered species. This method of eradication is extremely cruel – it causes the prairie dogs to slowly bleed internally and to die an excruciatingly death. The chemicals also may set off a chain reaction of secondary poisoning that can kill other species in the same territory or within the same food chain, according to Defenders of Wildlife, like ferrets, foxes, badgers, bald eagles, owls and hawks. Please take action now and sign this petition!

Animal Testing Company Directory on iPhone

PETA has designed a new iPhone app, BNB “Be Nice to Bunnies“. It’s a simple directory for those who wants to know what consumer products or companies test or don’t test on animals. I had no idea that so many of my favorite brands do testing, now thanks to this I will find alternatives. It’s not the most interesting app, but it is useful indeed for those who want to minimize their impact on animal suffering. $1.99 from your iPhone app store or learn more here.
