Wildlife protection agency challenged for not doing its job
January 26, 2012: San Francisco, CA — A coalition of conservation and American Indian groups today sued the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for failing to protect thousands of whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals, and sea lions from U.S. Navy warfare training exercises along the coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington.
KANGABOY: “It’s about time! … This is fantastic! I’ve blogged about this before in relation to the deaths of Marine Mammals along Australia’s coast lines and in Europe during the presence of Navy Submarines. We need this same ‘above’ action in Australia!”
It’s a sad day for animals. Bills to end Australia’s cruelest trade were defeated, but evidence condemning live exports continues to mount. Please join Kangaboy to show our Government, for the sake of millions of animals, that this is simply not acceptable. Big THANKS to Animals Australia for making our voices heard for the voiceless & defenseless.
Evidence condemning the live export trade continues to mount as Animals Australia releases footage from a recent live export investigation in Turkey.
Warning: Disturbing footage.

Ohio County, Indiana, is home to an extraordinarily cruel event called “Snapperfest”—next scheduled for this Saturday, August 20! Every year at the Campshore Campground, wild-caught snapping turtles endure terrible violence at the hands of participants. The frightened animals are grabbed by their tails and repeatedly slammed to the ground. Their heads are yanked from their shells, and they are then swung around until “contestants” are able to wrap their fists around the animals’ necks.
STOP THIS EVENT!
PETA, without success, appealed to the compassion of the Ohio County commissioners. Now it’s your turn. Please contact the commissioners and the campground and politely ask that they do the right thing and replace this cruel event. And please spread this alert far and wide.
We only have until 28 March 2011 for the world to speak out against a major Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) development that has been proposed for James Price Point in the pristine Kimberley in Australia’s North West Coast. If this project goes ahead it will spell devastation for already threatened marine life like Humpback Whales; Dugongs; snubfin dolphins; diverse sea grasses, corals and filter-feeder communities; golden bandicoots; bilbies; white-bellied sea eagles; masked owls & more, and will be a stepping stone to turn one of earths last untouched pristine environments into a mining and industrial wasteland. PEOPLE POWER WORKS: Please help be a voice for wilderness; Take action and sign the submission at this link and help save whats left…
