Bears Committing Suicide On Bile Farms…

Bears kept on bile farms in China and Vietnam are ‘committing suicide’ in an attempt to escape their miserable existence!

Did you know the barbaric ‘Bear Bile Farming’ is endorsed by China’s government, making this practice of bear bile milking appear even more sinister. What century are we living in, when such primitive behavior is still tolerated and unchecked?

Kangaboy says; “When is the rest of the world going to be the ‘voice’ these defenseless animals are crying out for? When will we all say “ENOUGH!” … and simply boycott Chinese business and products to the best of our ability ‘until the cruelty stops’ and Bear Bile Farming is banned. Please join me in being that voice and SAVE these defenseless animals from this torture and species extinction… Please share this urgent message with all your friends and family.. it’s time to say “ENOUGH” to China! Starting NOW!”

“Mandatory Labelling of Palm Oil” NOW..

Why This Is Important

Palm oil production is the single biggest threat to South East Asian rainforests.
Palm oil is found in over 40% of the food products on our shelves.
Palm oil isn’t even labeled in Australia. The average Australian consumes 10kg of Palm Oil every year.
Once palm oil is labelled, consumers can actually drive a market for proper certified sustainable palm oil because they can demand it of manufacturers.

Stop U.S. Malls From Selling Exotic Animals

Sugar gliders are native to Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji. They live communally in groups of thirty or more and enjoy gliding, playing and searching for food. Yet they are regularly sold to families in U.S. malls.

Tell U.S. malls to leave sugar gliders alone! »

Because of the kiosks’ locations in malls and the species’ cute appearance, shoppers purchase the animals on impulse like toys, oblivious to their special, long-term needs.

Sugar gliders’ natural diet consists of native insects, wattle gum and eucalyptus sap, which U.S. shoppers rarely have access to. Most U.S. vets also have no resources to provide sugar gliders with health.

Sugar gliders deserve to live in their native habitat, where they can glide, play with their family members and search for food. Shoppers do not need these pets and typically grow bored with them shortly after purchase.

Please sign the petition to convince U.S. Congress to outlaw the sale of sugar gliders at malls. »

Congratulations Humanity…

Western black rhino declared extinct

Africa’s western black rhino is now officially extinct according the latest review of animals and plants by the world’s largest conservation network.

The subspecies of the black rhino — which is classified as “critically endangered” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species — was last seen in western Africa in 2006.

The IUCN warns that other rhinos could follow saying Africa’s northern white rhino is “teetering on the brink of extinction” while Asia’s Javan rhino is “making its last stand” due to continued poaching and lack of conservation.

‘Lack of conservation’ includes ‘lack of habitat’ due to thousands of hectares every day being replaced with Palm Oil Plantations for you and me, and by eating foods that use palm oil as an ingredient, Western consumers are directly fueling the destruction of orangutan habitat and sensitive ecosystems.

If the current rate of habitat decline continues, the Sumatran orangutan may become the first of the great apes living today to go extinct in the wild. A new UNEP/GRASP report warns that local populations in parts of Sumatra could disappear as early as 2015.

Educate yourself NOW and do your best to STOP your direct funding of this habitat destruction and extinction of the Orangutans, Asian Rhino, Asian Elephant & Asian Tiger…

URGENT! Help End Shark Fishing…

Will You Still Fear Them When They’re Gone?

Hi everyone
Sea Shepherd Gold Coast just received an inspiring e-mail from Madison Stewart, a 17 year old who has devoted her life to shark conservation. Madi has been working with sharks since she was twelve years old- scuba diving and free diving- plus she started underwater filming at the age of fourteen. Madi has been working on a very important project for some time now and needs your help. She is seeking as many people as possible to write a submission to the Sustainable Fisheries, before October 21st. Please see the following e-mail…

Many grave injustices of the past have one thing in common… they were defeated by a growing education of the people, and pressure for change. One of those injustices is occurring right now in our waters.

In 2009, under the former minister Peter Garett, licenses as part of the East Coast Inshore Fin-fish Fishery (ECIFF) were approved, allowing 200 commercial gill-net vessels to target sharks INSIDE the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and World Heritage Area. 600 tonnes of shark is removed legally each year, the meat sold for cheap fish and chips etc, and the valuable fins contribute to export markets for Asian delicacy’s. Meanwhile, research shows populations of some species to be down by as much as 97% on the GBR, and decreasing annually. The by-catch and target catch of the fishery includes a number of protected and critically endangered species, and majority of the target species are yet to be studied, meaning we have no idea what this level of fishing is doing to their populations. This fishery is potentially threatening to the entire ecosystem with effects already being witnessed. Sharks are apex predators at the top of the food chain, incredibly slow growing, and having very few young. There is no evidence to show the GBR will survive this mass extraction of sharks…

The fate of the oceans should be in the hands of those who know and respect the equilibrium they require to function… and now they can be… Have your say, put in your submission… send an email to sustainablefisheries@environment.gov.au, or visit my website for more information, or to send a letter already written up for you, http://elements5.blogspot.com/ Submissions close October 21st, our reaction… is their only hope.

BAN LIVE EXPORT

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.
