Keep Endangered Species Act Protections for Wolves: DON’T BE LAZY! ACT NOW! EASY!
Remember that the deadline is approaching to speak out on
this. Obama and the REI woman who is now
running the Interior Dept. (btw, boycott REI now) have already allowed the
brutal killing of wolves in WY, ID, MT, WI, MN.
Go to http://www.all-creatures.org/alert/alert-20131211.html
and SEND YOUR COMMENT before December 17.
Talking points are found on that page too,
but just at least state that the Grey Wolf CANNOT be allowed to have further removal
from the endangered and threatened list.
It’s Simple: Neglected, Chained Dog Dies in the Bitter Cold
Every time the cold hits I think of these situations. What causes a fuck…g human to just leave a
dog to die in the cold? F who did this
and I hope someone out there pays them a visit in a harmful way. Child abusers are treated with more respect
than the innocent outdoor, chained dogs.
As stated in the article, “If you see a dog who has been
left outdoors, without adequate protection from the elements, please reach out
for help. If the dog's owner is unwilling to remedy the issue, contact local
animal control officials as soon as possible.”
You can read the story here http://www.examiner.com/article/neglected-chained-dog-dies-the-bitter-cold
,
or visit the Facebook page AND GET INVOLVED IN GETTING THE
SCUM PUNISHED here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=422211271239468&set=a.312307255563204.1073741826.278249465635650&type=1&theater
It’s too fuc…g bad they were called so
late.
"Both of these dogs were
tied out. no food no water and barely any protection. Well I have both the
animals. It kills me to say, I was called a little late. This beautiful animal
(boxer) couldn't stand the bitter cold with no food or water to sustain his
body.
He laid down and died. By himself with no one to comfort
him. Except for the other dog. A chocolate lab, which was unable to get close
to the boxer and watched as her friend froze to death. She is safe and will be
cared for here at the rescue."

Quick Actions: Wolves, Horses, Mountain Lions: All Easy. Act Now!!
Due to various factors, including no help, it’s been days
since I’ve posted here. I apologize. I have however been posting at our Face book
page as it’s easier. But, here is a dump of stories and actions I hope you can
act on. Thank you.
Act now to get an end to the
horrible Wolf slaughter going on. The
comment period has been extended by the USFWS regarding its proposal in
removing protection for wolves in WA, OR, possibly other states such as SD, UT
(which have already said in so many words that wolves will NOT be tolerated in
those states). The 5-yr. review could also
go out the window if their proposal is accepted. If you have commented earlier,
you may do it again. You may also comment on behalf of someone else such as a
friend, family member. Try to make it to any of these meeting places if you are
in these areas. Kristi

The Wolf Killers Continue their Terror: Unnecessary Sport Killing for Ego: Act Now!
Just a reminder that this hell is still going on, sanctioned
by the idiot federal govt.I pasted in a first
hand account below BUT ALSO links to where you can leave comments prior to
10-28-13 to prevent further delisting and hence, further horror killing. DO IT!
The first hand account of the horror can be found at https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=549511855121746&set=a.415856058487327.96100.415676538505279&type=1
The most famous pack in the world has a ribbon of darkness
over it and is a major target of those that hate wolves. How grown adults in a
country that offers so much freedom, so much abundance of all that is good is
beyond my minds ability to comprehend of how they can inflict so much pain and
suffering upon an animal that never hurt them. You and me are really what these
haters are striking at, and the animals are the scapegoat. They are taking what
is meant for us. We brought the wolf back to the Northern Rockies, we won the
Governments laws to protect them. And the haters are now unleashing their wrath
for doing so upon these loved and precious wolves. Keep in mind that every
fallen wolf is a strike back at you, a strike back at me and all that love these
wolves. Every drop of blood these wolves lose, is for us. And it is a sacred
giveaway. Yesterday we learned that area 2 in Wyoming had 5 wolves taken. The
quota was 4 but for whatever reason, 5 was taken. Area 2 is where our Lamar
Canyon's took up residence last winter. The lead daughter of 06 joined the
Hoodoo pack there and had her first litter this past April. Bob Landis filmed
her and 06's last litter there last summer. We do not know if she is among the
fallen. But it does not look good for her and the rest of 06's offspring that
was with her. Until we do know we will hold fast the hope that they escaped the
guns of Satan's slaves of destruction. Area 2 is now closed!
Please read and follow the link below. The form letter can be used. IT’S ALL VERY EASY!!!! We need to make sure they are not delisted.
The US FWS has extended the comment period (to October 28, 2013) for the federal delisting of wolves nationwide.
HERE'S WHAT TO DO
Please take a second and send your comment to USFWS and ask to maintain the Endangered Species Act protection for gray wolves.
To make it easier Rhonda has enclosed copy of a letter that you can use / modify.
All the instructions how and where to submit your comments are at the end of this sample letter.
Please act now, tomorrow could be too late.

Director Daniel Ashe
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
1849 C Street, NW
Washington, DC 20240
Dear Director Ashe,
I am writing to you in your capacity as Director of US Fish and Wildlife Services to request in the most urgent manner possible that USFWS maintain the Endangered Species Act protection for gray wolves currently protected under the Act. I do NOT accept in any way, based on any information provided, that wolves are recovered as a species. Wolves have only returned to 5% of their former habitat; this is strictly politically motivated as I am sure you are well aware. If not politically motivated, then why is it the bald eagle was delisted in 2007, but we have not allowed open hunting and trapping? Why then are we even contemplating doing that with wolves? The stated goal of the Endangered Species Act is to save species from extinction and to fully recover the species by removing threats to its survival.
As you are well aware, there has been much discussion, and indeed outrage by the fact that politics once again weighed in to dictate the decisions concerning the fate of the gray wolf, rather than best science available decisions. While I applaud the decision of the USFWS to put on hold for an indefinite time, according to FWS spokesman Gavin Shire on August 12th (as per the LA Times), I would urge you to allow the PEER review of the well qualified scientists and biologists to be reviewed carefully by USWFS and that protection is maintained for the gray wolves currently protected under the Act.
In some areas of Idaho close to 700 wolves, including lactating females and pups, can be killed at anytime. In the state of Wyoming 83 percent of that states wolves can be killed year round without a license. The state of Montana will allow a “bag limit” of up to five wolves per hunter/trapper. I defy anyone to call this scientific stewardship of this apex, keystone predator; necessary to provide balance to our eco system!
Director Ashe, I hope your decisions on the gray wolf will echo the integral role you played in responding to a 2005 complaint that agency geologist had botched an evaluation of the habitant needs of panthers. The protection of the gray wolf against those who would seek to completely remove them from the landscape, from their rightful homeland, certainly deserves no less.

Think Zoos are Humane? Look at these Photos and Think Again! Gaston Lacombe’s Project Uses Photos to Expose the Truth.
Wow. Too bad all the
close minded parents out there who take their kids to zoos will never even look
at this. And, if they do, they’ll make
up some illogical argument about it.
But for those who love the truth and use their eyes and
facts to speak, then this will leave no doubt as to the horror of zoos and
captive animal situations. In essence,
they are unnatural and leave the victims in states of psychosis and misery.

The Truth is Out and Photos Prove it: Wolf Killers & Hunters Get Off Sexually on Killing: See it for Yourself
I’ll
start it off with these quotes and then please read the article and view the
horror photos at: http://www.examiner.com/article/wolf-killers-admit-it-s-all-about-the-sadistic-sexual-thrill It is truly frigntening that members of the
human species are this sick. Scary.
“But at least now the truth has been revealed: The 'need' to
hunt and trap wolves is not about 'wildlife management' or protection of life
or property. Instead, it's actually about the 'need' of psychologically-sick
individuals to 'get off' sexually by torturing an animal they love to hate.”
Underlying all the unforgiving and ultimately lethal anti-wolf/anti-predator legislation being passed recently, of course, is greed, fueled by fear (and the active, purposeful fear-mongering and misinformation associated with group hysteria and mind control), and catalyzed by a nameless, formless hatred which malcontents and other paranoid people coalesce into form through their focus on one particularly convenient, integral, dynamic, ecologically crucial, intentionally misunderstood and emotionally charged iconic species; the grey wolf.
Sounds deep, confusing, complex.
However, in a nutshell, what they are saying plainly is that torturing animals is sexually arousing for them.
These kinds of pages are no better than so-called 'crush videos' (movies of innocent, live animals being stomped, cut apart with scissors, burned, etc., and sold to perverts who like to masturbate while watching) except that, being based more in the 'traditional sports' of hunting and trapping, these (for now, at least) manage to sneak by legally."

A Reminder of How Sick and Cruel Michael Vick is: And, Buffalo Wild Wings Having Him Sign Autographs: Call and Express Your Disgust
First, read the witness statement of just ONE of Sick Vicks cruel
and twisted acts. When you do you’ll
once again remember why it’s so unbelievable that someone so twisted could get
a job again and make millions. The NFL
likes them sick.
Then, call the number below and tell them that if Sick Vick
is there that you’ll not support the restaurant again.
Here is the post with the number:
MICHAEL VICK will be in York, PA, at the East York BUFFALO
WILD WING on October 30 signing autographs for $75 a pop..The manager's name is
Tony... 717-751-1712. Buffalo Wild Wings is making a huge statement with the
decision to align themselves with someone as vile as Michael Vick. Redemption
my ass. God will forgive him but I won't. And he is charging $75 to his
"fans" to sign his name. It's amazing they wouldn't see this as an
insult. I hope this goes viral and people make them regret this decision. Very
bad business move on their part."
Urban Decay is Owned by L’Oreal, an Animal Testing Company: Why then is it on the PETA List of Companies that Do Not Test on Animals
I received an email (see below) regarding this important issue. I’ve found similar things like this in the
past as well. But, I was unaware of the ownership issue with Urban Decay. On our site we link to PETA’s list at http://www.mediapeta.com/peta/PDF/companiesdonttest.pdf
as it is really the main go-to for this
issue. So, please contact them and ask
why this company is on this list when it’s owned by L’Oreal.
Here’s the message I received:
I noticed on the PETA list of companies who do not test,
they have Urban Decay listed & no where is it mentioned that Urban Decay is
owned by L'oreal. Urban Decay has been
using their "cruelty free" platform to dupe consumers into believing
they do not have any ties to animal testing.
As anybody who is actively supporting cruelty free companies knows, L’Oreal
is a major abuser of animals. When I
contacted Urban Decay they used the leaping bunny logo & PETA to try to
substantiate their "cruelty free" claim. In my opinion, if you're buying Urban Decay
you're buying L’Oreal. I particularly
despise Urban Decay/L’Oreal for their deliberate attempt to mislead
consumers. Regardless if Urban Decay
line isn't tested on animals...it IS L’Oreal & they go to great lengths to
hide that information.

As if Letting Sick Vick Back Wasn’t Bad Enough, the NFL Continues to Fund Horrifying Experiments on Live Animals
Just seems the NFL can’t do right by other species. Letting Sick Vick back in was horror, but now
this.

Patrik Baboumian the Vegan Strongman Sets Record: Shoulders 550 kg
Love this guy. I lift
too, so it’s good to have a pro to look up to.
His site is http://www.patrikbaboumian.de/ So, shut the f…k up you idiots who push the
full meat diet. Take on Patrik is you’d
like to try.
As stated at the full article at http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2013/09/08/vegan_strongman_shoulders_550_kg_a_record_perhaps_at_vegetarian_food_fest.html,
“The 34-year-old, who already holds
world records for log lifts and overhead beer keg lifts, carried a yoke loaded
with just over 550 kilograms 10 metres across a stage at the Harbourfront
Centre on Sunday afternoon — at Toronto’s Vegetarian Food Festival.
According to organizers, it’s the heaviest load ever carried
— equivalent to a large horse. (Guinness World Records spokesperson Sara Wilcox
said the attempt was for a new record category, “heaviest yoke carry travelling
10 metres,” adding that Guinness can't verify the record until it receives
documentation.)”
"I am a wolf pup and I probably won't get to grow up because I live in Idaho. Most people here hate me, and killing has started again.” BOYCOTT IDAHO!
Yep, evil killers in Idaho can kill wolves any way they
want. Sadistic state. Boycott all ID products.

by Obama, visit http://geari.blogspot.com/2013/09/important-wolves-given-extra-time.html
"I am a wolf pup and I probably won't get to grow up
because I live in Idaho. Most people here hate me, and killing has started
again. They are mad at my family because we have to feed ourselves.....I think
they would be mad even if we only ate the grass. The humans like to kill in
Idaho --- they think it's fun.
I know you are out there too, the good people who fight for
us, so that we can stay in your world. Although we will never actually
meet......I somehow KNOW you..... and I carry you in my heart as a run through
the trees for as long as 'they' let me. Many howls....
The Rapper DMX is a POS: Dead Dogs Found at Home: Another Dog Fighting Issue
Sick Vick was probably there helping him with his horrid
mission of killing dogs. Well, I guess
DMX is just another mediocre POS with too much money who loves violence.
Read more at: Two dogs found buried at DMX's home
“PHOENIX — Two dogs found buried at a home belonging to
rapper DMX had serious wounds, authorities investigating animal neglect
allegations said Saturday.
One of the dogs had serious bite wounds and another had
trauma to its abdomen, but exact causes of death were not determined, Maricopa
County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said. A third dog carcass had been burned so badly an
exam was inconclusive.”

& hunters/trappers are permitted up to 5 tags each. Doug Petersen of the
Idaho Department of Fish & Game explains that the hunting/trapping season
will help educate the "cagey critters,... not that bagging a wolf has ever
been easy." He also admits that although he thought the reintroduced
wolves would "slaughter" livestock, he changed his ideas after dealing
with them, “they don’t kill as much livestock as I thought they would. It seems
like they select more for wild game.”
699 wolves have already been killed in Idaho by hunting
& trapping since ESA protections were stripped in 2011, and now USFWS plans
to strip Federal protections from nearly all gray wolves nationwide. Please

2 Quick Actions for Wolves and for Abused Dogs: Also, New Site on Pet Suffocation Prevention
We need to get this place investigated AGAIN and get it shut
down! Take a look at the photos and then
scroll down to see the contacts. Very
easy!
Make the final push to make sure all delisting of grey
wolves does not occur.
From http://predatordefense.org/wolves.htm. I just don't believe people (even some wolf
lovers)understand the real ramifications if this de-listing happens. Wolf
killing states WILL be emboldened to pass even looser regulations on the taking
of wolves, with some offering bounties & 24/7/365 seasons with no limits on
wolves taken. Within a year of these policies we could see a extinction event!
Without the fear of hitting a critical population number there will be no
stopping the slaughter-that is what is at STAKE-WAKE UP NOW!
So go to http://predatordefense.org/wolves.htm,
then scroll down through text to get to section on who to contact. Do it now!
Check out new Pet Suffocation site and learn about the
threats that may occur to cats, dogs, etc.
From the page owner: My
name is Bonnie Harlan, and I am the founder of www.preventpetsuffocation.com.
I created this website and Facebook page to raise awareness of the
suffocation dangers that chip bags and other food packaging pose to our
pets. It
is becoming an all too-common tragedy as many of our pets, especially
dogs, are suffocating after getting one of these chip bags stuck on
their
head and then dying from suffocation. Too many dogs are dying weekly
from
this!
Unfortunately, I found this out firsthand when I came home one day to
find my rescue dog, Blue, lying motionless under a table, after he had
suffocated on a Cheetos bag he had dragged out of the trash. Once the dog puts
his head into these mylar-type bags, the bag creates a vacuum-like seal
around the dog's neck. Shocked and saddened by his death, I created a
Facebook Page and website dedicated to this advocacy, and I have
appeared on
several television interviews and the radio, as well.

Think Wolves are the Main Cause of Cattle Killing? You’re Wrong. View this Inforgraphic and Think Again!
Hummm, ranchers lying again? Yep.
I’ll let the image do the talking.

As stated, “Where’s the beef? Don’t ask wolves… U.S.D.A.
found that wolves accounted for just 0.2 % of "unintended cattle losses“ -
fewer than are lost to theft, domestic dogs, or vultures.”

Sick Wackos in Faroe Islands (Denmark) Slaughter Massive Amounts (1106) of Whales and Dolphins: Sick Beyond Belief.
Want proof? See photo below.
It never makes sense.
I never understand how people just love to kill, and to do it so with such cruelty. I wish hell on them all.
Obviously, the first thing to do is to NEVER go to or
support anything from the Faroe Islands or from DENMARK!!. “The Faroe Islands are an island group and
archipelago under the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark, situated between
the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, approximately halfway between
Norway and Iceland.”
Then, support groups like Sea Shepherd to get this horror stopped. https://my.seashepherd.org/netcommunity/page.aspx?pid=287
From Sea Shepherd:
Faroe Islands update:
After not killing any cetaceans during the first 6 months of
this year....the last 23 days has seen the Faroese massacre 1106 small
cetaceans:
125 pilot whales killed on 21st July at ViðvÃk
267 pilot whales killed on 30th July at Fuglafjørður
107 pilot whales killed on 8th August at Sandavágur

Wolf Watchers: A Reminder – Don’t Post Information on Where You Saw them: You’re only Helping the Sadist Hunters / Killers
Very important in relation to wolves and the upcoming horrid
slaughter that humans will unleash on them. Very necessary advice for those of you who in the past posted information about seeing wolves. In essence, you’re only helping the sicko sadists to know where they are so they can kill them.
This was posted on https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=517719721634293&set=a.415856058487327.96100.415676538505279&type=1&ref=nf
The current situation facing the upcoming hunting and
trapping season has indicated the 'Wolf Jihad' has and is planning a pre
meditated full force implementation of mass destruction upon the wolves of both
YNP and the surrounding states.
Anyone that is so naive to think it is all talk will be
facing many tears in the days to come.
Anyone that thinks and feels that their revealing locations
and movements within the park is harmless and going to change a 'Wolf Jihad's'
heart and mind about how valuable the wolves are, is not living in a real
world.
Quote:
Montana Wolf Hunting tip of the week: Look at the wolfaboo’s
pages. They are wolf watchers and want to share this information with each
other. They frequently post where they saw a wolf, how many was in the pack,
and the direction of travel.
Does that sound like a heart that is going to change?
I do not get paid or receive a dime for loving or watching
over the wolves. The only reward for running this page is having people like
yourselves come and share the love, the beauty and magnificence of the wolves.
Those that do get paid, seem to resistant to seeing the
reality of giving out information.
There is no amount of money, there is no public status high
enough for me to sell out the wolves.
To do so would be a betrayal un unprecedented, and blood
money.
Personal relationships will deteriorate as choices are made
to where one will stand. Hard calls will be made. Friendships, and
relationships will break. But if in the end, wolves get to survive..it would be
worth the price.

Quick Actions: Ego Maniac NFL Player Darnell Dockett buys a Tiger Cub; Support Big Cats and Public Safety Protection Act: Also, End Canned Hunts
A few things:
“During the past week there has been extensive
national media coverage reporting that Arizona Cardinals football player
Darnell Dockett has purchased a tiger cub as a pet. He’s been boasting about it
during interviews with ESPN and other media outlets. And tweeting photos of the
poor cub on Twitter.”
“We are extremely concerned that an NFL player, who should be a role model for young people, is instead promoting the dangerous, irresponsible and abusive practice of owning an exotic cat.”
“We are extremely concerned that an NFL player, who should be a role model for young people, is instead promoting the dangerous, irresponsible and abusive practice of owning an exotic cat.”

but that no one knows exactly how many or where?

As you
may know, many weak fools kill enclosed majestic animals for big money and to feed
their ego. “Animals are trapped within a
fenced enclosure from which they cannot escape, then people go in and pay a fee
to kill those animals. Many of the animals used in canned hunts come from
private breeders and zoos. These are animals that are indigenous to Africa or
Asia…”

Email the Committee on Natural Resources Prior to Meeting with Sally Jewell, Sec of Interior to Tell her to Stop Killing Wolves and Horses
Important to do this now. The meeting is tomorrow. The link to do so is below. Here is some text I took from someone close
to the issue:
"Tomorrow Sally Jewell, the Secretary of the Interior
will be testifying before Committee on Natural Resources Committee oversight
hearing into activities of the Department of Interior. The jurisdiction of the
committee extends into all areas of public land management, which includes U.S.
Fish &Wildlife Services, the agency determined to delist wolves across most
of the Lower 48 states. Ms. Jewell, as Secretary of the Interior is also
responsible for the BLM and its determination to round up every wild horse and
burro to suit the Cattlemens Association and Big Oil.
This is the link where you can send an email to the Committee, and I urge you to do so today. I am very thankful that Raul Grijalva of Arizona as well as Pete DeFazio of Oregon are on the committee. Unfortunately, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming is as well. Please let the committee hear from you and what you would like them to ask Secretary Jewell."

“Since President Obama removed the gray wolf

wolves have been senselessly slaughtered by sport hunters and trappers alone in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Minnesota and Wisconsin.”

Fire USDA Wildlife Services Federal Trapper Jamie Olson from Wyoming for Animal Cruelty
The picture says it all.
Jamie Olson is a sado masochist who gets off on extreme and unnecessary cruelty. AND GUESS WHAT? HE’S PAID BY TAX DOLLARS!!
And that's the point about trapping - it's only done by sickos who actually do it to get off on finding the poor creature alive so they can torture it. Jamie - you're a coward and so are the rest of you sicko trappers! FU!
I put in the text below, but please visit this link and in
the upper right you’ll be able to sign. http://www.change.org/petitions/fire-usda-wildlife-services-federal-trapper-jamie-olson-for-animal-cruelty
"On November 2nd the Sacramento Bee and the Missoula
Independent published graphic images of Wyoming-based Wildlife Services employee
Jamie P. Olson's dogs tormenting and mauling trapped wildlife including
coyotes, bobcats and raccoons. The articles detailed animal abuse and torture
instigated by Olson, who posted these photographs (several of which are
described as “work” indicating he took these while working for the government)
on various websites including his personal Facebook Page and several hunting
sites.
Gary Strader, a former Wildlife Services trapper in Nevada,
reports in the Sacramento Bee (11.2.12) that such abuse is “very common” and
was not surprised to learn about the photos. "It always was and always
will be controversial. It has never been addressed by the higher-ups. They know
it happens on a regular basis."
Such brutality and callous disregard for the welfare of animals
is particularly egregious when done by a government employee in the course of
his employment and must not be tolerated.
Please join Project Coyote, the Animal Welfare Institute
(AWI) and many other organizations and individuals in calling for Olson’s
immediate termination and for an investigation into this and other reports of
animal cruelty.
(Please click "Opt-In" when signing this petition
and we will keep you informed on meaningful ways to protect coyotes and other
native carnivores from wanton abuse and cruelty and to promote coexistence
instead of killing.)

George Billman of Ohio State University Still Torturing and Killing Dogs: Help Put an End to It
Seems George
Billman really likes killing dogs. IN fact, he’s already killed over 760. It’s time for us to try to get this sadist to
stop. Imagine is someone was doing this
in their home; they’d be seen as a wacko and hopefully would be arrested for
animal cruelty.
So, please go to the following link to speak out:
"...he surgically implants a cuff around the artery of a dog’s
heart. The dog is then forced to endure strenuous exercise on a treadmill while
Mr. Billman tightens the cuff, causing constriction of the artery and
subsequent heart attack. This form of testing causes immense suffering and pain
in these creatures and is research that is no longer warranted."
Quick Action to Demand that the AZA Help Lucky the Elephant Who is Being Held Hostage at the San Antonio Zoo
Very easy, please visit https://secure2.convio.net/ida/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=2485
and do this quick action.
“It’s been just over a month since the Association of Zoos
and Aquariums (AZA) granted the San Antonio Zoo an exemption from industry
standards, condemning an elephant named Lucky to life in solitary confinement.
Lucky has been alone since March, when the zoo’s other elephant, Queenie (Boo),
died.
The AZA—an industry organization created by zoos for
zoos—ignored pleas from IDA and thousands of supporters to deny the variance
and to instead work with the San Antonio Zoo to place Lucky at a facility that
could offer her room to roam and the companionship of other elephants. Now,
with the AZA’s complicity, 53-year-old Lucky will likely be alone until she dies—a
cruel sentence for any elephant, as they are profoundly social animals.”

Good Job Humans: Western Black Rhino Declared Extinct
“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.”
Proof Once Again: Chinese Most Evil in the World: Take Photo with Dying Dolphin While Laughing
No surprise to me.
The Chinese care nothing about animal cruelty. For some reason they have massive egos that
lead to small hearts. This photo is just
another form of proof. I posted in the text of the story below, but you can
view the story at: http://gawker.com/chinese-tourists-snap-selfies-with-dying-dolphin-514264840?utm_campaign=socialflow_gawker_facebook&utm_source=gawker_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow
Very telling too, is this line at the end of the story: “The tourists have yet to be identified in
the press, but it will unlikely lead to any charges as China does not currently
have any laws on the books that protect non-endangered species.”
Chinese Tourists Snap Selfies with Dying Dolphin
Tourists who stumbled onto a gravely injured dolphin while
swimming off the coast of Sanya City in the Chinese province of Hainan are
being blasted on local social networks for manhandling the distressed animal
and posing with it for pictures in lieu of alerting wildlife authorities.
The dolphin later died of "excessive bleeding" at
a nearby marine park, according to Shanghai Daily.
Experts believe the dolphin may have collided with a fishing
boat, as evidenced by the injury to its tail.
A group of men who found the stranded dolphin proceeded to
lift it out of the water and take photos of themselves, which were later posted
to the microblogging service Sina Weibo.
Users were outraged, saying the photos, exhibiting a basic
disregard for life, shook their faith in China.
One user, who noted that dolphins were highly evolved
mammals with "an IQ only a little lower than humans," contrasted that
by saying the "people in the pictures are worse than pigs."
The tourists have yet to be identified in the press, but it
will unlikely lead to any charges as China does not currently have any laws on
the books that protect non-endangered species.

The Cruelest Show On TV, Discovery's “Yukon Men” Exposed for What it is: Lies in Order to Gain Viewers: Money from Cruelty
What a great article.
Please visit http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/nature-up/2013/may/17/bloodthirtsty-wildlife-documentaries-reality-ethics
to read it in whole. In essence, the author
does a great job of proving that Yukon Men and others’ like it literally lie
about wolves, wolverines, bears, etc. stating they are mean and killers in
order to grow viewership. In essence, it’s
all cruelty just for ratings. They lie
about the true nature of the majestic animals that need to be left alone. Discovery Channel can f..k off and I hope you all do not support them.
I’ve pasted some text below to summarize, but again, please
visit the story at: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/nature-up/2013/may/17/bloodthirtsty-wildlife-documentaries-reality-ethics
“Frenetic edits and manic music are used to build drama,
authoritative-sounding voiceovers combine with the tightly edited words of the
on-screen characters tell how dangerous, vicious or deadly the creatures we're
seeing on screen are. I spot occasions where animal noises seem to have been
overdubbed to make them sound scarier. It makes for gripping viewing, but I
wondered if Discovery wasn't betraying its viewers who trust it to deliver
reliable, factual TV. As a trained zoologist and filmmaker, much of what I was
seeing didn't make sense to me.
Take wolverines for example: I lived in Alaska for almost a
year and never saw one. They're extremely shy and avoid humans. Although
they're capable predators of small animals and found in many cold,
high-latitude regions of the northern hemisphere, I'd never heard of a
wolverine killing a person.
I searched the web and could not find a single documented
case of a wolverine even attacking a person anywhere in the world, ever.
To double-check, I emailed Jeff Copeland of the Wolverine
Foundation, who told me that "we are not aware of any instance in which a wolverine
has killed a human, or even attempted to do so", which perhaps explains
why the wolverines in Yukon Men are doing their desperate best to get away from
their human assailants.
Wolves are a lot larger than wolverines, of course. But even
though the US and Canada hold over 60,000 wolves, I found only two records of
fatal attacks by wild wolves in these countries in last ten years; one
controversial case in Saskatchewan, Canada, in 2005, which some experts think
was actually a bear attack, and another in Alaska in 2010.
Why did the producers of Yukon Men tell their viewers that
there had been twenty fatal wolf attacks in the last ten years, implying that
these had taken place around Tanana? Why does a 'factual' show portray Alaskan
wolves as man-eating monsters straight out of Victorian fairytales, a serious
threat to life and limb, when the data show that wolf attacks are extremely
rare in North America?
Idaho-based wolf expert Suzanne Stone told me that she'd
once been surrounded by a howling pack of gray wolves while sitting by a
campfire in the twilight, armed only with a marshmallow on a stick. The animals
were only twenty or thirty yards away. Was she scared, I asked? "No, not
at all. It was an incredible experience. I howled back and forth with
them", adding that people and domestic livestock were the most dangerous
creatures she'd encountered in many years of walking in wolf-inhabited
backcountry.”
