Defenders of Wildlife Campaign to Save America's Wolves: Meet Limpy -- Help Save Western Wolves

Have you seen this?

I voted for Obama and against Sarah Palin
because America needs to protect wildlife and their habitats.

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has once again eliminated protections
for wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies.

He is NOT representing my vote nor do I feel he represents what the Obama administration
is symbolizing to the world- global consciousness, not self interest.

An awareness of the quality of life and all things living,
not power over and destruction.

Wholeness and unity not divisiveness and separation.

A love for all life, and
ALL GOD'S CREATURES

Living in "green" world that protects against global warming and shelters wild life is a paramount issue that needs to be addressed before we endanger and lose yet another species.

Help Save Wolves

Hello,

Have you heard the shocking news? Interior Secretary Ken Salazar just announced that he has approved the Bush Administration’s discredited plan to eliminate Endangered Species Act protections for wolves in Idaho and Montana -- a decision that could lead to the deaths of nearly 1,000 wolves, including those wolves in the western Greater Yellowstone ecosystem.

If this upsets you like it does me, please make your voice heard.

Call the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at 1-800-344-9453, select option “3” (for endangered species) and hit “0” to speak with the operator. Once you are connected, just deliver this simple message:

My name is [Your Name] and I am calling from [Your City], [Your State] to express my extreme disappointment in Interior Secretary Salazar’s decision to eliminate Endangered Species Act protections for wolves in the Northern Rockies states of Idaho and Montana.

If his decision is allowed to stand, nearly two-thirds of the wolves in the Northern Rockies could be killed. I strongly urge Secretary Salazar to stop the implementation of his awful rule and reconsider his approach to wolf conservation in the Northern Rockies.

Important: Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund will be closely tracking the number of calls in order to ensure that our voices are heard on this important issue. Please make sure to let them know that you called.

Our wolves can’t speak out, but we can! Secretary Salazar’s wolf rule could appear in the Federal Register as soon as this week, paving the way for the massive killing of wolves next month.

Please call the US Fish and Wildlife Service today at 1-800-344-9453 and let federal officials know that you oppose efforts to eliminate vital protections for these wolves.

We don’t have much time to prevent the killing, but with your help, I know that we can save the lives of these special animals.

Thanks!

P.S. After you call the Fish and Wildlife Service at 1-800-344-9453, please make sure you tell Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund about your call.

More Information about Salazar’s Plan

• Salazar’s decision violates the Endangered Species Act and allows more than 1,000 out of the roughly 1,500 wolves in the region to be killed.
• Delisting wolves is contingent upon two things that have not yet been achieved: 1) The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's delisting plan must be based on current, credible science that ensures a healthy wolf population level that is sustainable and well connected. 2) All of the states in the delisting area must have wolf management regulations that provide for a sustainable and well connected wolf population after federal protections are lifted.
• Salazar’s decision fails to adequately address biological concerns about the lack of genetic exchange among wolf populations in the Northern Rockies. These concerns led a Federal court to overturn the same delisting rule late last year when the Bush Administration issued it. Salazar's decision also fails to address concerns with Idaho’s state wolf management plan and regulations that undermine the goal of a sustainable wolf population by killing massive numbers of wolves.
  

Eye On Palin: Stop Her Wolf Massacre

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFdijgMytUA

Governor Sarah Palin continues to push extreme methods to kill wolves and bears, seeking to eliminate hundreds of wolves this season through Alaska's aerial wolf killing program. Her state's Board of Game has even approved the killing of young wolf pups in or near their dens, a controversial practice that was illegal until 2008.

In June of 2008, under governor Sarah Palins wolf killing program,
gunmen in a helicopter shot 14 adult wolves near Cold Bay Alaska.

When they landed, the gunmen shot 14 wolf pups each in the head.

Brutal. Barbaric. Even illegal under Alaskan law.

A result of Sarah Palin's out of control wolf killing program.

Do you really want a vice president who champions such savagery?

A growing number of Republicans are expressing concern about Sarah Palin's uneven -- and sometimes downright awkward -- performances in her limited media appearances.

Conservative columnists Kathleen Parker, a former Palin supporter, says the vice presidential nominee should step aside. Kathryn Jean Lopez, writing on the conservative National Review, says "that's not a crazy suggestion" and that "something's gotta change."

Tony Fabrizio, a GOP strategist, says Palin's recent CBS appearance isn't disqualifying but is certainly alarming. "You can't continue to have interviews like that and not take on water."

"I have not been blown away by the interviews from her, but at the same time I haven't come away from them thinking she doesn't know s--t," said Chris Lacivita, a GOP strategist. "But she ain't Dick Cheney, nor Joe Biden and definitely not Hillary Clinton."

RFK Jr. On Palin's Oil Obsession: "The Only Difference Between Sarah Palin And Dick Cheney Is ... Lipstick"

RFK Jr. On Palin's Oil Obsession: "The Only Difference Between Sarah Palin And Dick Cheney Is ... Lipstick"

Palin's enthusiastic embrace of Big Oil's agenda (if not always Big Oil itself) has been the platform of her hasty rise in Alaskan politics. In that sense she is as much a product of the oil industry as the current president and his vice president. Palin, whose husband is a production operator for BP on Alaska's North Slope, has sued the federal government over its listing of the polar bear as an endangered species threatened by global warming, and she has fought to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Alaska's coast to oil drilling.

When oil profits are at stake, her fantasy world appears to have no boundaries. About American's deadly oil dependence, she mused recently, "I beg to disagree with any candidate who would say we can't drill our way out of our problem."

I guess the only difference between Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney is ... lipstick.

Humane Society: HSLF Endorses Obama/Biden Ticket

September 22, 2008

Dear Friend,

I wanted to let you know that today, on behalf of the Humane Society Legislative Fund, I announced our endorsement of Barack Obama for President. Please see my blog below for more information, and help spread the word to animal lovers across the country.

Sincerely,


Mike Markarian
President
Humane Society Legislative Fund

WHOO HOOO!

I have been an animal rights activist for all my life and have been consciously working to the humane treatment of animals, especially in Alaska where the Palin administration have total disrespect for all of life.

Aerial hunting is illegal in 49 states. And wolf hunting season is only in the winter when the ground is covered with snow so that the wolves can be easier tracked by planes. Since the land is snow covered, the wolves have no place to hide and run frantically searching for refuge. The planes fly close to the ground to exhaust the wolves.

Then shoot them in the hip or back, allowing the wolves to suffer in excruciating pain. It is NOT A CLEAN KILL, like many hunters are proud to perform. (A clean kill is done quickly with one bullet or arrow so that the animal doesn't suffer.) You can see the wolf biting at his hip trying to get the bullet out. And then he gets shot again, perhaps again.

;;.

From the Humane society:
"Palin engineered a campaign of shooting predators from airplanes and helicopters, in order to artificially boost the populations of moose and caribou for trophy hunters. She offered a $150 bounty for the left foreleg of each dead wolf as an economic incentive for pilots and aerial gunners to kill more of the animals, even though Alaska voters had twice approved a ban on the practice. This year, the issue was up again for a vote of the people, and Palin led the fight against it -- in fact, she helped to spend $400,000 of public funds to defeat the initiative.

What's more, when the Bush Administration announced its decision to list the polar bear as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, Palin filed a lawsuit to reverse that decision. She said it's the "wrong move" to protect polar bears, even though their habitat is shrinking and ice floes are vanishing due to global warming.

The choice for animals is especially clear now that Palin is in the mix. If Palin is put in a position to succeed McCain, it could mean rolling back decades of progress on animal issues
