Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Un | Forward to a Friend | Take Action Urge Congress to Stop Aerial Hunting of Wolves Forward to a friend >>Read the petition >> Hi Fraggle, At least 117 wolves have been killed in Alaska this winter under the state's controversial aerial hunting program. It is time to end this brutal practice. Urge your representative to co-sponsor the Protect America's Wildlife (PAW) Act today! Thirty five years ago, Congress passed a law to put an end to aerial hunting. But Alaska is exploiting a loophole in federal law to resume the practice for both wolves and bears. Other states threaten to follow Alaska's lead. It's been just 42 days since wolves were stripped of federal protections in the Greater Yellowstone area - and at least 17 wolves have already been killed in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. Congress can stop this cruelty now. Please urge your representative to close this federal loophole and end aerial hunting before another wolf dies.Thank you for caring and making a difference, Rebecca Young,Care2 and ThePetitionSite Team To stop receiving this newsletter, visit: http://www.care2.com/newsletters/unsub/11/0/2650228/a916565c or send a blank email message to:ng-u-11-2650228-6328475-10901820-935c2691 Care2.com, Inc.275 Shoreline Drive, Suite 300Redwood City, CA 94065http://www.care2.com What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know, it's what we know for sure that just ain't so. - Mark Twain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hi Ann Just to answer your below from the point of view of a moderator - we don't censor what people can and can't post: the only provisions being that people remain polite, don't post anything illegal, and keep in mind that we are here for vegans, so ask people not to post things that are clearly designed to inflame vegan sensibilities! You're very welcome to ask people not to post anything particular, but as moderators, we won't prevent them from posting this sort of thing. Hopefully people will generally use the subject headers sensibly, so if you see a header you don't like the look of, you can always delete without reading :-) BB Peter - Marcie Jones Monday, May 12, 2008 8:01 AM Re: Re: Over 100 Wolves Killed sorry but i found this disturbing. we all know this goes on, i just prefer not to hear about it in this group. if i must, i'll leave the group. i hesitated in joining for a long time for fear i'd see emails about this stuff. im already vegan because of how painful these topics are to me. but i just can't be exposed to it. ann.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Hi, I haven't ever spoke up in the group, and I apologize for not introducing myself and then just chiming in at my own whimsy, but I felt compelled to speak. I understand we are all like-minded in a lot of ways, and in a vegan group, it pretty much goes without saying that anything regarding animals being treated poorly is going to upset people. I do understand that. However, an e-mail that speaks of an animal atrocity and has a call to action and a link where you can make your voice heard is important if we are ever to affect any changes in the world. As vegans, I think we understand more than most people do that ignoring things that go on in the world because they make us feel bad will not change things. We have to be strong enough to face the things that upset us if we are ever going to make a difference. We have to make our voices heard for the animals since they cannot speak for themselves. I really think this is our responsibility, and we need to face it. I know it is upsetting, but that should call us into action, not make us turn our heads. -Wendy ________________________________ > > marciesaysimsmart > Mon, 12 May 2008 00:01:12 -0700 > Re: Re: Over 100 Wolves Killed > > > sorry but i found this disturbing. we all know this goes on, i just prefer not to hear about it in this group. if i must, i'll leave the group. i hesitated in joining for a long time for fear i'd see emails about this stuff. im already vegan because of how painful these topics are to me. but i just can't be exposed to it. > > ann. > > http://www.annshrader.myarbonne.com > Vegan beauty and health & wellness products! > > > > > > fraggle _______________ Get Free (PRODUCT) RED™ Emoticons, Winks and Display Pics. http://joinred.spaces.live.com?ocid=TXT_HMTG_prodredemoticons_052008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
