.Dear President Obama,
The drama to cut spending in Washington has lost all sincerity when five million dollars a year will now be allocated to inspect horse meat.
I am reporting this on my TV series called Meet America which aires in several cities throughout America.
I also show the tragic tax dollar wasteful wild horse round-ups and the lies perpetuated by BLM to justify those .
Sixty nine million dollars a year and much more recently are spent   to round-up ,house and feed our wild horses that should be on the range instead of the cattle who are taking their place illegally under Ken Salazar removal plan.  BLM blames the wild horses for ecological damages which they do not do.
I show the pristine landscapes where these horses live, their careful hoofprints that do not step on the brush but around it.
I film the cattle damage which reveals a deception to the American people so deep  it sends shivers down my spine.
You are a good man and defended horses against horse slaughter when you were a Senator.
I hope you have the power  to stop  the evil intent to slaughter so sacred a friend as the horse has been to human kind throughout history.
It is as close to cannabalism to eat  the horse and reduces us as a Nation to allow such an act and I hope you will do everything in your power to make sure this disgrace is stopped in it's tracks.
The waste of our tax dollars at a cost of five million a year to inspect horse meat is sadistic in a time when each dollar should be coveted to help the American people.
I need a response from you for my listeners as my deadline is the first week after New Years.
My question is?
Will you veto all attempt to open up horse slaughter plants based on the cruelty and the waste of our tax dollars?
Will you return our wild horses to their rightful lands or allow the slaughter of them which is now imminent since they have recently and quietly lifted the last protections against slaughtering them because of the expense of keeping them?
Thank you.
Lorna Moffat
Producer, Meet America TV series.
Thank you.

Be a Hero for the Horses Today by Helping Saving America’s Horses

The recent lifting of the ban on funding for USDA horse slaughter inspectors in the U.S. was a below-the-belt assault on America by the proponents of horse slaughter America’s Horses, but with your help, the power of SAVING AMERICA’S HORSES can set the horses free!


“Saving America’s Horses” represents the underdogs in the battle to save the horses. We are the pro horse/ anti slaughter vets, trainers, breeders, jockeys, handlers, investigators, rescuers, protection groups, horse owners and policymakers whose efforts have been muted and squelched by a well funded pro slaughter PR machine; UNTIL NOW!

"Saving America's Horses - A Nation Betrayed" is the lifesaving documentary film that can change everything for our horses. With your generous support “Saving America’s Horses – A Nation Betrayed” can be seen by the masses in 2012.


Plans are being put into action to bring this extremely compelling film resource to the policymakers and to the public at large with distribution targeted for 2012. Wild for Life Foundation is asking for your help to bring this landmark film recourse to the public release with a year-end donation.

“Saving America’s Horses” is an educational project under Wild for Life Foundation and relies 100 % on donations. The Saving America’s Horses initiative is a national coalition of equine professionals, plus domestic and wild horse rescue and protection organizations who have collaborated forces and have contributed their voices to in effort to effect change through this film. Many production services have also been donated to WFLF by IMA studios to make this film possible. But this film will not make it to the masses without YOUR continued support. Please be a hero for the horses today and donate now.

Right now, thousands of America’s horses — all types and disciplines, continue to suffer on U.S. soil; wild horses are being stampeded down icy lava fields by helicopter, all breeds stockpiled into feedlots, and crammed into double-deck cattle trailers for days on end, in record freezing temperatures without medical care, food or rest. Only a federal ban can protect our horses from the violent and destructive predatory trade of horse slaughter.

“Saving America’s Horses – A Nation Betrayed” sends a loud wake up call to the world, shining a light on the truth that proponents don’t want the public to know. This film is the most comprehensive and compelling feature documentary film about this issue ever made. It’s an intelligent and hard hitting expose` that will wake up and shake up the public so that they will take the action needed to get the federal protection bills passed.
Your gift today can help make 2012 the year when horse slaughter is finally banned in the U.S.
Support "Saving America's Horses" and not only be part of the solution, but also take part in this powerful vehicle for change.

Sincerely,
Katia Louise
And The Team at Saving America’s Horses

PS- Supporters are also encouraged to COLLABORATE on this film through one of many creative ways. Producer and Sponsorship opportunities are also open. Individuals, groups and businesses can help lead the way, show social responsibility and be a hero for the horses. Join us! Act now to add your on-screen credit in time for public release.

Hi RANDAL,

We could lose two-thirds of the world's polar bears by midcentury, yet the Obama administration is poised to allow oil drilling in the heart of their habitat -- Alaska's Chukchi Sea.

Tell the Bureau of Ocean Management to protect polar bears, not Big Oil »

There are a host of reasons that drilling is a bad idea for the arctic. It disrupts the habits and lives of threatened polar bears, walruses and other wildlife. We have no idea how to deal with an oil spill in the frigid arctic seas. Climate change has already imperiled arctic habitat. Drilling for oil not only wrecks their habitat now, it contributes to the slow destruction of the climate they depend on.

Shell Oil could start drilling in the Chukchi as early as next summer, so we must speak out now.

Speak out for polar bears and voice your opposition to arctic oil drilling »

Thanks for taking action!

Schizophrenia
by Dave Mance III |
Most people, myself included, make sense of the world by looking at what's right in front of their face. We know our own lives, after all. And we know our little slice of the world. I can tell you, with absolute authority, about the forest health on my little woodlot in southern Vermont. I can tell you where the Christmas tree pine grows in dense carpets; where the bobcats go when the deep snow comes. I can take you stand by stand and tell you where the maple is regenerating nicely, or where hay-scented fern has made the understory a discouraging carpet of green. (Well, yellow this time of year.)
But the further out we expand from our own experiences and our own little slice of earth, the more unclear things become. I don't know for sure about the forest health across town, let alone statewide or regionally. Or what animal populations are up and what's down where you live. This uncertainty makes our magazine(NORTHERN WOODLANDS) and our community of readers valuable, as we can talk to each other about these things, share anecdotes, broaden each other's perspectives. But at the same time, this uncertainty can make big picture public policy discussions about environmental/conservation issues seem baffling and very far away.
I attended a public policy meeting recently in Vermont, where foresters were appalled by the deer damage they were seeing on their woodlots and hunters were appalled by the lack of deer they were seeing in the woods. One group wanted less deer, the other more, and they were letting government officials know it. That same afternoon, I had lunch with a dairy farmer, and when I told her I was worried about the declining number of dairy farms in Vermont, she responded by pointing out that where once Joe Farmer had five boys who went on to own five farms, today, one big farm supports six families, they make better money than they used to, and each family gets to take a vacation. Her feeling was that her dairy was doing just fine, thank you very much. That very same evening, I read an editorial in Northern Logger magazine where loggers in western New York were saying there's too much competition and overcapacity was flooding the market with logs and driving down prices, while mill owners were complaining that there's not enough loggers out there and they were being forced to pay too much for a limited supply of wood.
So who knows, right? Everything is relative to everyone's individual reality, and often times, contradicting narratives can be equally true. The whole thing makes me empathize with the people – the politicians, the entrepreneurs, the men and women who sit on these think tanks – who are charged with steering public policy. It makes me wonder how they deal with being intellectually whiplashed everyday by opposing viewpoints that can be equally valid. Imagine being in charge of a state's deer herd and having to perpetually find a compromise that won't make anyone happy? Or being charged with coming up with solutions to buoy a forest products industry that doesn't look the same from one state to the next, or one town to the next, or one person to the next.
There's no epiphany here, just an observation.

Cougars in the Bitteroots targeted as a way to improve Elk hunting.....Montana is considering changing mountain lion hunting in the Bitterroot from a permit-only season to a hybrid season that allows permit holders to hunt during the early part of the season and opens it up to anyone with a license in the later portion of the season until a set quota is met......The idea was supported by Rep. Pat Connell, R-Corvallis."I look at this as a win/win," Connell said. "It will maintain quality hunting for houndsmen in the early portion of the season, but there will also be opportunity for outfitters and non-houndsmen in the later part."Connell said a study started this year on elk herd dynamics in the Bitterroot show that mountain lions are impacting elk calf numbers. .........Of course Mr Connell's comments are the typical ones that are always filtered through the perspective of the hunting community.........Lower the competition for Elk so every human has an easy day in the field.........This antiquated and non-scientific approach to game management will only change if we have all stakeholders on Game Commission boards and not just hunters and cattlemen

FWP to consider changes to Bitterroot hunting seasons




The state's general big game hunting season ended last Sunday with a lot of empty freezers for Bitterroot area hunters.
Hunting in the Bitterroot will be different in many ways if tentative seasons now being considered are approved.

The Fish, Wildlife and Parks Commission agreed to consider proposed changes to elk, deer, mountain lion, black bear and mountain goat seasons in the Bitterroot at its regular meeting last week.
Sportsmen will have a chance to offer their input at a pair of meetings coming up in January in Hamilton and Darby on the proposed seasons.

"There is a lot on the table this year in the Bitterroot," said FWP regional wildlife manager Mike Thompson. "With all the noise going on in the public arena, it's hard to draw a bead on what the average sportsmen and landowners want."With it being so loud on both ends of the spectrum, this is a year that we need to hear from people to help us shape things," Thompson said.

The proposed change likely to catch most sportsmen's eye is the proposal that would make all elk hunting in the East Fork of the Bitterroot by permit only.While there would be no limit to the number of permits issued by the state, hunters would have to give up their opportunity to put in for bull elk permits in places like the Missouri Breaks or the Elkhorn Mountains.

"The need is definitely there to protect those bulls in the East Fork," said Tony Jones, president of the Ravalli County Fish and Wildlife Association. "Right now, there are still a good number of cows left. If there's something we can do for the next two years and fix the bull/cow ratio, then we should consider it."

Another major change could happen with mountain lion hunting in the region. The state is considering changing mountain lion hunting in the Bitterroot from a permit-only season to a hybrid season that allows permit holders to hunt during the early part of the season and opens it up to anyone with a license in the later portion of the season until a set quota is met.

The idea was supported by Rep. Pat Connell, R-Corvallis."I look at this as a win/win," Connell said. "It will maintain quality hunting for houndsmen in the early portion of the season, but there will also be opportunity for outfitters and non-houndsmen in the later part."Connell said a study started this year on elk herd dynamics in the Bitterroot show that mountain lions are impacting elk calf numbers.
"The idea is not to eliminate predators, but we are looking to try get their numbers more back in balance with our elk populations," he said.

Another proposal calls for extending the black bear hunt to June 15 throughout the entire valley. Last year, that extended season was available only in a couple of hunting districts.

The opportunity to hunt mountain goats in the Bitterroot will decrease dramatically under another proposal that combines a number of hunting districts and lowers quotas.

"We do support that proposal," Jones said. "We need to find out why those numbers of goats is decreasing. I've been putting in for a permit for 25 years and now it's going to be even harder to get."
The final proposal would provide mule deer hunters with some additional opportunity for a wilderness hunt.It's really something of a plus that we could add some hunter opportunity with very little impact," Jones said.

The proposal calls for adding a two-week mule deer rifle hunting season inside the wilderness boundary between Oct. 1 and Oct. 15."We had it one time back in the mid-1990s, but it went away due a lack of hunter participation," Jones said. "With the situation we face now with less hunting opportunities, people might be more interested."

The Hamilton meeting will be held Jan. 9 at the Bitterroot River Inn from 6:30 to 9 p.m. In Darby, the meeting will be at the high school on Jan. 17 at the same times.
Following public comment, the commission will make a decision on which proposals to approve at its Feb. 16 meeting.

Our friend Mark Bekoff summing rewilding up as we enter this Christmas and holiday season: " Many, perhaps most, human animals, are isolated and fragmented internally concerning their relationships with nonhuman animals, so much that we're alienated from them. We don't connect with other animals, including other humans, because we can't or don't empathize with them. The same goes for our lack of connection with various landscapes. We don't understand they're alive, vibrant, dynamic, magical, and magnificent. Alienation often results in different forms of domination and destruction, but domination is not what it means "to be human." Power does not mean license to do whatever we want to do because we can...Rewilding projects often involve building wildlife bridges and underpasses so that animals can freely move about. These corridors, as they're called, can also be more personalized. I see rewilding our heart as a dynamic process that will not only foster the development of corridors of coexistence and compassion for wild animals but also facilitate the formation of corridors in our bodies that connect our heart and brain. In turn, these connections, or reconnections, will result in feelings that will facilitate heartfelt actions to make the lives of animals better.....In the future will we be able to look back with pride? ... Clearly it is possible to look at all we have created and see only what we have destroyed. But that, in my view, would be our mistake. We most certainly can create a better Anthropocene. We have really only just begun, and our knowledge and power have never been greater. We will need to work together with each other and the planet in novel ways. The first step will be in our own minds. The Holocene is gone. In the Anthropocene we are the creators, engineers and permanent global stewards of a sustainable human nature."

Rewilding Our Hearts: Maintaining Hope and Faith in Trying Times



A recovered Jasper playing with his red ball
We're running out of world and wildness
Humans are a force in nature. "Tell me something I don't know", I hear you lament. We're all over the place, big-brained, big-footed, arrogant, invasive, menacing, and marauding mammals. No need to look for mythical Bigfoot: we're here! We leave huge footprints all over the place and have been rather unsuccessful at solving urgent problems. Robert Berry fears we're simply "running out of world" (2003. God's book of works. Continuum, London). Perhaps we've already "run out of world" including wildness. Some go as far to argue we've created a world that's so technologically and socially complex we can't control it.

I'm always looking for ways to remain positive and hopeful in challenging times. And I know how difficult it can be when it seems that so many things are going wrong. Mass media constantly begins with horror stories about death and destruction and then at the end of a TV show, for example, we hear about the good people who are working to make the world a better place for all beings. They sometimes get a minute or two after almost 30 minutes of negativity. I've often suggested that TV and radio news shows should begin with a two positive stories, talk about other news, and then end with at least two positive messages.

There's Always Jasper
We can learn a lot about being positive from other animals and there's always Jasper, a recovered Asiatic moon bear, to think about for hope and inspiration. After years of horrific suffering Jasper has become the spokes-bear for forgiveness, peace, trust, and hope.

I can't thank Jasper enough for sharing his journey and his dreams. Jasper, like the dogs, cats, and many other nonhuman animals ("animals") who also need us, make us more humane and thus more human. The true spirit of humans, our inborn nature, is to help rather than to harm.

Rewilding as a personal journey: Reconnecting with (M)other Nature
For a book I'm writing called Rewilding Our Hearts I've been thinking of ways to keep that loving feeling in times when many people are suffering and can't seem to see the light. Because of what I do for a living I look to the animals for guidance. And I found just what I was looking for when I began to read about what are called rewilding projects.

The word "rewilding" became an essential part of talk among conservationists in the late 1990s when two well-known conservation biologists, Michael Soulé and Reed Noss, wrote a now classic paper called "Rewilding and biodiversity: Complimentary goals for continental conservation" that appeared in the magazine Wild Earth (Fall 1998, 18-28. 15).

In her book Rewilding the World conservationist Caroline Fraser noted that rewilding basically could be boiled down to three words: Cores, Corridors, and Carnivores. Dave Foreman, director of the Rewilding Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a true visionary, sees rewilding as a conservation strategy based on three premises: "(1) healthy ecosystems need large carnivores, (2) large carnivores need bug, wild roadless areas, and (3) most roadless areas are small and thus need to be linked." Conservation biologists and others who write about rewilding or work on rewilding projects see it as a large-scale process involving projects of different sizes that go beyond carnivores, such as the ambitious, courageous, and forward-looking Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative, well known as the Y2Y project.

 Of course, rewilding goes beyond carnivores, as it must. The core words associated with large-scale rewilding projects are connection and connectivity, the establishment of links among geographical areas so that animals can roam as freely as possible with few if any disruptions to their movements. For this to happen ecosystems must be connected so that their integrity and wholeness are maintained or reestablished.

Regardless of scale, ranging from huge areas encompassing a wide variety of habitats that need to be reconnected or that need to be protected to personal interactions with animals and habitats, the need to rewild and reconnect and to build or maintain links centers on the fact that there has been extensive isolation and fragmentation "out there" in nature, between ourselves and (M)other nature, and within ourselves.

 Many, perhaps most, human animals, are isolated and fragmented internally concerning their relationships with nonhuman animals, so much that we're alienated from them. We don't connect with other animals, including other humans, because we can't or don't empathize with them. The same goes for our lack of connection with various landscapes. We don't understand they're alive, vibrant, dynamic, magical, and magnificent. Alienation often results in different forms of domination and destruction, but domination is not what it means "to be human." Power does not mean license to do whatever we want to do because we can.

Rewilding projects often involve building wildlife bridges and underpasses so that animals can freely move about. These corridors, as they're called, can also be more personalized. I see rewilding our heart as a dynamic process that will not only foster the development of corridors of coexistence and compassion for wild animals but also facilitate the formation of corridors in our bodies that connect our heart and brain. In turn, these connections, or reconnections, will result in feelings that will facilitate heartfelt actions to make the lives of animals better.

 These are the sorts of processes that will help the new field of compassionate conservation further develop. When I think about what can be done to help others a warm feeling engulfs me and I'm sure it's part of that feeling of being rewilded. To want to help others in need is natural so that glow is to be expected.

Reasons for hope and inspiration: There's no going back to the way things were
Erle Ellis, who works in the Department of Geography and Environmental Systems at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, notes that while it's true that we've transformed Earth beyond recovery, rather than looking back in despair we should look ahead to what we can achieve. He writes, "There will be no returning to our comfortable cradle. The global patterns of the Holocene have receded and their return is no longer possible, sustainable, or even desirable. It is no longer Mother Nature who will care for us, but us who must care for her.

This raises an important but often neglected question: can we create a good Anthropocene? In the future will we be able to look back with pride? ... Clearly it is possible to look at all we have created and see only what we have destroyed. But that, in my view, would be our mistake. We most certainly can create a better Anthropocene. We have really only just begun, and our knowledge and power have never been greater. We will need to work together with each other and the planet in novel ways. The first step will be in our own minds. The Holocene is gone. In the Anthropocene we are the creators, engineers and permanent global stewards of a sustainable human nature."

In addition to taxpayers paying for the removal and care of Wild horse herds off of their Congressionally designated habitat  one out of three Americans are dependent on taxpayers.  Since the country is bankrupt, at least our heritage wildlife must be returned to self sufficiency on the public domain while we create a productive way for  folks to depend less on the public dole.  
Just my two cents.

IT'S  A WAY OF EXPRESSING OUR GRIEVANCE'S, DISSATISFACTION, AND DISAPPROVAL WITH THE DECISION'S THAT THEY ARE MAKING.BUT IN A RESPECTFUL MANNER. AFTERALL, IT'S OUR TAX DOLLAR'S, IT'S OUR WILDLIFE, AND THESE POLITICIAN'S WORK FOR US AS OUR PUBLIC SERVANT'S.
WE SHOULD HAVE A SAY SO ON HOW THEY SPEND OUR MONEY, AND HOW THEY NOT ONLY KILL OUR WILDLIFE, BUT LITERALLY SPEND MILLION'S OF OUR TAX DOLLAR'S TO DECIMATE AND SLAUGHTER WILDLIFE TO THE POINT OF NO RETURN, MUCH LIKE THEY DID TO THE GRIZZLY BEAR'S THAT ONCE ROAMED THIS VALLEY, OR THE CALIFORNIA GREY WOLF OR MEXICAN GREY WOLF THAT USED TO BE HERE.
MANY OF US FEEL THAT GOVERNMENT CAN DO A MUCH BETTER JOB OF SPENDING OUR MONEY, AND THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WISH TO ENJOY OUR WILDLIFE, NOT ONLY FOR THIS GENERATION, BUT FOR GENERATION'S TO COME.
AFTERALL, WE ARE THE INVADER'S, NOT THEM. WE ARE THE ONE'S ENCROAHING ON THEM,WE ARE THE ONE'S THAT ARE SHOOTING THEM, TRAPPING THEM,HUNTING THEM, POACHING THEM,POISONING THEM, AND RUINING THE BALANCE OF NATURE, WE ARE THE BAD GUY'S HERE AND WE MUST LEARN TO COEXIST WITH THEM AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
FOR THE TIME IS COMING WHEN THE ONLY WILDLIFE THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SHOW OUR KID'S AND GRANDKID'S, WILL BE IN A ZOO OR A STORYBOOK, UNLESS WE ALL DO SOMETHING NOW, BEFORE THEYRE ALL GONE AND GONE FOR GOOD.
 MR. MASSARO CONTINUE'S TO EXPLAIN THAT  NEARLY $ 70,000 TAX PAYER DOLLAR'S IS SPENT EVERY YEAR BY OUR VERY OWN COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISOR'S TO PAY AN ANIMAL TRAPPING COMPANY TO GO OUT AND ANSWER ALL CALL'S PERTAINING TO WILDLIFE, WHILE AT  TIME'S THEY MANAGE TO SAVE AN ANIMAL,MANY, IF NOT MOST OF THE CALL'S ,THEY END UP TRAPPING AND KILLING THE ANIMAL'S NEEDLESSLY AND INHUMANELY. 
THE FACT THAT WE PUT THESE POLITICIAN'S IN OFFICE TO REPRESENT US AND OUR BEST INTEREST'S, AS WELL AS THESE AGENCIE'S LIKE CALIF FISH & GAME, BLM, DEPT OF INTERIOR, DEPT OF AGRICULTURE, NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, TO PROTECT AND WATCH OUT FOR THE ANIMAL'S BEST INTEREST'S AND WELFARE.
OFTEN THESE AGENCIE'S OPERATE WITH IMPUNITY,AND ROUTINELY OPERATE AS ROGUE GOVERNMENT AGENCIE'S WITH THEIR OWN AGENDA, AND ANSWER TO NOBODY OR OFTEN MAKE THEIR OWN RULE'S AS THEY GO ALONG, ACCORDING TO EYE WITNESS ACCOUNT'S, TESTIMONIAL'S, PHOTO'S AND UNDER COVER VIDEO FOOTAGE THAT HAS BEEN OBTAINED,INCLUDING FORMER BLM AGENT'S TURNED WHISTLE BLOWER'S.
THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, WHO NEED'S  HUNTER'S AND POACHER'S WHEN YOU HAVE  ROGUE GOVERNMENT AGENCIE'S LIKE  BLM  THAT ARE ACTING UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE DEPT OF INTERIOR'S( KEN SALAZAR) A 5TH GENERATION CATTLE RANCHER ,TO GO OUT AND ROUND UP THE WILD HORSE'S AND BURRO'S AND SPENDING $75 MILLION OF OUR TAX DOLLAR'S , ONLY TO SEND THE HORSE'S & BURRO'S TO THE SLAUGHTER HOUSE'S IN CANADA AND MEXICO, AT THE BEHEST OF THE CATTLE RANCHING INDUSTRY.
OR HOW ABOUT THE NATIONL PARK SERVICE   THAT  ROUNDED UP 300 TO 400 BURRO'S FROM DEATH VALLEY. PYRAMID LAKE REGION AND OUR LOCAL DESERT'S, SOME YEAR'S AGO ONLY TO LINE THEM UP AND SHOOT THEM  WITH OUR TAX DOLLAR'S., OR JUST RECENTLY ON SANTA ROSA ISLAND, THE SLAUGHTER OF 1,100 DEER AND ELK BY THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, THE CATTLE RANCHING OUTFIT THAT OWN'S THE ISLAND, AND THE SPORT HUNTING FIRM THAT'S HIRED TO DO THE DIRTY WORK OF SHOOTING THE FROM THE AIR, THEY SPENT $320,000 OF OUR TAX DOLLAR'S TO DO THIS, AND LEFT THE DEER AND ELK TO ROT ON THE ISLAND-MY GOD, WHAT HAVE WE BECOME ?
IF THAT;S NOT ENOUGH,  NOW THE POLITICIAN'S IN WASHINGTON HAVE VOTED TO BRING BACK HORSE SLAUGHTER TO AMERICA, AT THE COST OF 4 AND HALF MILLION TAX DOLLAR'S A YEAR THAT WILL GO TO THE USDA TO INSPECT HORSE MEAT, THAT WE THE TAX PAYER'S WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR.
IT DOESNT TAKE A RHODE SCHOLAR TO FIGURE OUT WHO OR WHAT IS BEHIND THIS, IT'S ONLY OBVIOUS THAT THE CATTLEMAN'S ASSOCIATION AND THE SPORT HUNTING LOBBYIST'S IN WASHINGTON ARE CONTROLLING OUR POLITICIAN'S.
IT'S ALL ABOUT POWER, MONEY, GREED AND CORRUPTION, AS IF THAT WASNT BAD ENOUGH,  NOW IT'S NOT ONLY LEGAL TO KILL COYOTES IN ALL 50 STATES, BUT NOW AFTER SPENDING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO BRING THE WOLVES BACK FROM EXTINCTION,  THE POWERS AT BE VOTED TO TAKE THE WOLVES OFF OF THE ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST AND START HUNTING THEM AGAIN, ALONG WITH THE BEARS IN NEVADA AND GRIZZLY BEARS IN YELLOWSTONE,AND THE BUFFALO IN AND AROUND YELLOWSTONE, NOT TO MENTION THE MTN LIONS, BOBCAT'S.
AND LEST WE FORGET HOW THIS AFFECT'S THE MANY CANADIAN AND NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN TRIBES THAT PAY HOMAGE AND RESPECT THESE ANIMAL'S,AND IS SO INTRICATLY  WOVEN INTO THEIR CULTURE.    
MANY NATIVE PEOPLE  BELIEVE   THAT  THE HORSE IS A SPIRIT OR MESSENGER FROM THE CREATOR, MANY HONOR THE BEAR BY DOING THE BEAR DANCE, DANIEL RAMOS  PROUD MEMBER OF THE APACHE AND NAVAJO NATION SPOKE AT THIS ROUND TABLE MEEETING WITH THE POLITICIAN'S, AND SPOKE OF LIVING IN HARMONY WITH NATURE AND LEARNING TO RESPECT NATURE, WHILE OLIVIA CHUMACERO OF THE RARAMURI INDIAN NATION SPOKE OF THE SPIRITUALITY OF THE ANIMAL'S AND SHARED A POEM, RACHELLE FIGUEROA SPOKE OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MAN IF WE DESTROY THE ANIMAL'S.
KATHLEEN HAYDEN AND DEBBIE HURLEY FROM THE COYOTE CANYON HERITAGE HERD REPATRIATION HORSE AND BURRO ACTIVISTS GAVE TESTIMONIALS AND BACKED IT UP WITH EVIDENCE AND PROOF AS TO THE ATROCITES OF WHAT OUR WILD HORSES AND BURROS ARE SUFFERING FROM AND BY WHOM!
EDIE BRIER, ANOTHER WILD HORSE AND BURRO ACTIVIST FROM "HIPPIES FOR HORSES" QUESTIONED IF THESE POLITICIAN'S EVEN CARE OR ARE GOING TO DO ANYTHING.
CHRISTINA BURTON, NATIVE AMERICAN AND POSSIBLE CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE  IN THIS NEXT ELECTION, LISTENED INTENTLY AND WONDERED IF ANY OF THESE POLITICIAN'S EVEN KNEW WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT OR IF THEY EVER HEARD OF THESE VIOLATION'S OF ANIMAL CRUELTY, AND IF SO , WHY HASNT ANY OF THEM DONE ANYTHING TO STOP IT??
LORNA MOFFAT FROM THE TV SERIES " MEET AMERICA", CALLED IN ON A CONFERENCE CALL EXPRESSING THE IMPORTANCE THAT THESE POLITICIAN;S LISTEN TO WHAT WE WERE SAYING, AND TO NOT LET IT FALL UPON DEAF EAR'S.
OTHER CALLER'S CALLED IN AS WELL SUCH AS SIMONE NETHERLANDS ( WORLD RENOWNED HORSE ACTIVIST) AS WELL AS MISS MARTINELLI PRICE AND NICK ILLIA  EXPRESSING THEIR CONCERN AND IMPORTANCE OF THIS ISSUE
RANDAL MASSARO, ORGANIZER OF THIS MEETING AND NOW REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE UNION MEMBERS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF WILDLIFE WORLDWIDE, AN UNDERGROUND ANIMAL RIGHTS ORGANIZATION BASED OUT OF EUROPE STATE'S THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO BRING AN ECLECTIC GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS TOGETHER FROM BOTH END'S OF THE SPECTRUM, THE POLITICIAN'S WHICH INCLUDED : CONGRESSMAN HOWARD BUCK MCKEON'S DEPUTY DIRECTOR BOB HAUETER, CONGRESSMAN MCKEON;S FIELD REP MICHAEL ORME, WHO HELPED ORCHESTRATE THIS MEETING,  SAN BERN COUNTY SUPERVISOR NEIL DERRY'S REP CHAS KELLEY,  ASSEMBLYMAN STEVE KNIGHT'S  ASSISTANT REBECCA TENNISON, MAYOR OF VICTORVILLE AND CONGRESSIONAL CANDIATE RYAN MCEACHRON, AND VICTORVILLE COUNCIL MEMBER AND CONGRESSIONAL CANDIATE  ANGELA VALLES, ALONG WITH LIEUT  RICK ROELLE OF THE SAN BERN SHERIFFS DEPT, AND CHRISTINA BURTON ( NATIVE AMERICAN ) AND POSSIBLE CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE.
EVEN GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN'S OFFICE EXPRESSED INTEREST BY CALLING MR. MASSARO'S HOME AND APOLOGIZING THAT HE COULD'NT MAKE THE MEETING, BUT WAS CONSIDERING MEETING WITH ALL CONCERNED PARTIE'S AT A LATER DATE.
IN CLOSING RANDAL MASSARO STATED THAT THIS IS AMERICA'S DIRTY LITTLE SECRET, THIS IS AMERICA'S OTHER WAR, THIS IS AMERICA'S WAR ON IT'S WILDLIFE AND IT MUST BE STOPPED, BEFORE IT'S TO LATE.
AND ONE FINAL THOUGHT, HOW COME TV MEDIA SELDOM , IF AT ALL EVER COVER'S THIS VERY CONTROVERSIAL SUBJECT ?
WHERE ARE ALL THE INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER'S ?  WHAT ARE THEY SCARED OF ? OR TO PUT IT BLUNTLY, WHO IS PAYING THEM TO BE QUIET ?
LET'S GET BACK TO GOOD OLD FASHIONED HONEST REPORTING, THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE. NOT THE SAME OLD HOG WASH OF WHO IS SLEEPING WITH WHO.
LET'S REPORT NEW'S THAT REALLY MATTER'S, THE IMPORTANT ISSUE'S THAT CONCERN ALL OF US.

2011 Holiday Gift Guide - Care2

Den Defender

Polar bears spend most of their time on ice floes, but because of global warming that ice is literally melting beneath their feet. As Arctic ice disappears, scientists are finding more and more evidence of polar bear drownings, starvation and cub deaths. Unless we respond swiftly, Alaska's polar bears could go extinct by 2050.

Your gift will help us fight in court to save the polar bear from global warming, Arctic oil development and trophy hunting.
