Dear tia/poidogsanuenue, We have a golden opportunity, right now, to significantly limit the funding of intensive animal confinement farming systems globally. All we need to do ischange one sentence in a document currently under review with the World Bank Group. The impact of this will be profound, helping to reduce the suffering of billions of animals worldwide. You can help make this possible by taking action today » The World Bank Group, which sets the standard for sustainability and social responsibility globally, is in the process of reviewing its safeguard policies. The current language regarding animal welfare is substandard and outdated—it does not reflect the views of people like you who believe that intensive confinement of farm animals is cruel. Simply updating the sentence pertaining to animal welfare in the policy could reduce the suffering of billions of animals by improving their living conditions. A range of intensive confinement practices would no longer be permissible. This would also mean easier access for consumers around the world to more humanely-raised animal products. This is achievable. Join us today and encourage the World Bank to update their safeguard policies to reflect their existing guidance document on animal welfare. Let’s improve the lives of billions of farm animals worldwide.Over 77 billion land animals are raised for food around the world each year. Many of them live in barren, crowded, factory-like conditions, experiencing intense suffering as they are unable to move freely or engage in natural behaviors due to extreme confinement. Each one of these animals is capable of experiencing pain, affection, frustration and many other emotions. You could help improve the lives of billions of farm animals worldwide by taking action today » If the World Bank Group were to adopt this language stating that farm animal production facilities and programs of all sizes must comply with the existing guidance document on animal welfare, it would set a higher standard for farm animal welfare across the globe. Please use your voice today to ensure that the World Bank's policies include meaningful animal welfare standards. Send a clear message to The World Bank Group today! Thank you for all that you do for animals. Sincerely, Chetana Mirle Director, Farm Animal Welfare Humane Society International

In TALLAHASSEE, Florida. — Local, state and national animal-protection and environmental organizations filed a “friend of the court” brief today in support of a lawsuit to stop the impending trophy hunt of Florida black bears, an iconic and rare Florida species with a long history of threats to its survival.

Despite public opposition to the hunt, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission authorized the killing of 320 of the bears—an estimated 20 percent of the population—starting Oct. 24. Animal protection organizations are calling for the cancellation of the hunt, which can cause severe harm to an already endangered species and save them from extinction. The Florida Fish and Wildlife received more than 191,000 comments about the hunt—with more than 98 percent opposed.

The local, state and national organizations to save the bears from extinction joining the legal action to stop the hunt include the Animal Legal Defense Fund, Animal Hero Kids, Animal Rights Foundation of Florida, Animal Welfare Institute, Center for Biological Diversity, Compassion Works International, Environmental Action, Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary, Lobby for Animals , and Stop the Florida Bear Hunt.  They represent the interests of more than 106,000 people who are opposed to the complete slaughter of these beautiful Black Bears. 

The planned trophy hunt in October of the Florida Black Bear is nothing more than a slaughter of an iconic Florida species,” said Stephen Wells, executive director of the Animal Legal Defense Fund. “It will do little to reduce human-bear conflict, and threatens irreparable harm to the bear population and the Floridians who care about the bears’ future survival.”

“Florida black bears represent a wild and free Florida, and should be valued as treasures, not trophies,” said Jaclyn Lopez, Florida director at the Center. “The hunt is ill-conceived and its administration has been poorly executed—the commission needs to take a step back before it’s too late for these bears.”

These organizations, along with the Animal Legal Defense Fund submitted its brief in support of plaintiffs Speak Up Wekiva, Inc. and Charles W. O’Neal, who recently brought an emergency motion to stop the hunt.

Anthony Rogers-Wright, policy and organizing director of Environmental Action: is asking to do the right thing and suspend all sales of hunting permits. 

For those of us in Florida our Black Bear is a native species, and losing ground from complete recovery. People and wildlife need to learn to co-exist for our future generations. Developers are encroaching on their land, we as persons dedicated in saving and protecting need to speak loud and clear!  

"FIND A WAY TO CO-EXIST".  

It is estimated that there are only 2,500 to 3,000 Florida black bears left, yet the Florida Fish and Wildlife  has issued 2,200 permits to kill the bears during the October hunt. Trophy Hunters, hunters just for the slaughter will be using the most cruel method of killing. Like Cecil the Lion, baiting the bears and using bows, crossbows and rifles, bears will be skinned, for rugs, and stuffed for the TROPHY!!!!!   

Gray Wolves are still in danger, and right now they are not safe, from trappers, trophy hunters, cattle ranchers, as well as big game hunters. Please sign and share, we can protect and save them and keep this listed as an Endangered Species. Mahalo for signing and sharing, we are their ANGELS OF KINDNESS!!!

			Don't Call It A Comeback, Not Yet Gray wolves are slowly returning to their former range, after successful reintroduction to habitats in the northern Rocky Mountains and western Great Lakes states. While this is significant progress, much more needs to be done before this species is considered safe. However, a new problem has emerged — the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wants to start removing federal protections from gray wolves. This would be a tremendous blow against a still-vulnerable population, who already face continued threats of trapping and hunting. Tell President Obama and Secretary of Interior Sally Jewell to step in and maintain protections for gray wolves before all of their progress in recovering is wasted!  Take Action

A mere 5,000 to 6,000 wolves occupy only about 5 percent of the animals’ historic range. Establishing wolf populations in remaining habitat in the Northeast, southern Rocky Mountains, Southwest, Pacific Northwest and elsewhere would secure a future for wolves and allow wolves to play their valuable ecological role in more of their former range. Many of the organizations want an end to wolf persecution and the linking of isolated wolf populations to combat inbreeding and allow ecosystem rejuvenation on a broader scale. Few animals evoke the wild like wolves. Majestic, rangy and highly social, wolves play a crucial role in driving evolution and helping calibrate nature’s complex relationships.

OUR WOLVES ARE IN JEOPARDY AGAIN, WHY?????

.

Once — before bounties, a federal extermination or should I say slaughter program and expansive human settlement our wolves roamed freely throughout most of the United States. Some scientists estimate there could have been some 2 million of these beautiful animals living wild in North America.

By the 1960s,  wolves were finally protected under a precursor to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. They had been slaughtered from all of the contiguous United States except a portion of Minnesota and Isle Royale National Park — victims of  needless Trophy Hunters, Big Game Hunters and on the part of the cattle ranchers, which seem to be unable to coexist.

The Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) was signed on December 28, 1973, and provides for the conservation of species that are endangered or threatened throughout all or a significant portion of their range, and the conservation of the ecosystems on which they depend. Which include all wildlife, marine life, whales, dolphins, forests and more.  The US Fish and Wildlife Services and/ or NOAA Fishers Service are to ensure that nothing jeopardizes the existence of any listed species. This law also prohibits any action that causes "taking"of any listed species. The government agency US Fish and Wildlife Services were put into place to save and protect.  Gray Wolves, Red Wolves, Mexican Gray Wolf, wolves were put on the Endangered Species List.
Now our government official US Fish and Wildlife Services have put a kill order on our wolves. In February of 2013 the decision to delist wolves by the official government agency has brought all of the Wildlife Protection Groups to file suit against them to restore their Federal Protection. This decision has brought in Trophy Hunters, Trappers, Cattle Ranchers and more, slaughtering hundreds of our wolves.

The Endangered Species Act is one of the most powerful conservation laws, but if any species is not allowed to recovery it is useless. All wolves, from the Gray Wolf, Red Wolf, Mexican Gray and others need to be listed not delisted.  These government agencies were created and appointed to PROTECT AND SAVE. Trophy Hunters, Big Game Hunters, Trappers, want that wall mount, showing their achievement in what," KILLING A DEFENSELESS ANIMAL" Residing on a Southwest reservation, we coexisted with all predators to our cattle, sheep, knowing they continue to serve and maintain HEALTHY Ecosystems.

We need to take Action the goal is to get 50,000 signatures.  I know we can, we do make a difference, our voices are heard in all government  agencies.  Our voice will be heard by Sally Jewell, Secretary of Interior step in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tell BLM NO to Mine Expansion in Wild Horse Area

The BLM is accepting public comments on the expansion of the Bald Mountain Gold Mine in White Pine County, Nevada. The plan will impact wild horses living in the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Triple B Herd Management Area by permanently removing 1,210 acres of already scarce vegetation for wild horses, temporarily removing 6,879 acres of additional currently available forage, causing a reduction of available water for wild horses, increasing the size of the area negatively impacted by human activity and noise, and posing a risk to wild horse safety and health through either physical injury or exposure to mercury and cyanide contamination. Mining operations are huge consumers of water resources, and the BLM should not be permitting expansion of mining activities in drought-stricken Nevada habitat for wild horses and burros. Please speak up to protect the Triple B horses by clicking below.
