Thousands of horses could starve on reservation | KOB.com

AS IF THINGS WERENT BAD ENOUGH, NOW THE MESCALERO APACHE NATION JUMPS ON BOARD WITH HORSE SLAUGHTER.
ISNT ANYTHING SACRED ANYMORE ?
NOW WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS?
I GUESS THE TRADITIONAL OLD WAYS ARE GOING OUT THE WINDOW, AND THE WAYS OF NEW ARE IN.
FOR MANY NATIVE PEOPLE ONCE CALLED ANIMAL'S LIKE THE BEAR , THE HORSE, THE WOLF, THE BUFFALO, THEYRE RELATIONS OR RELATIVES.
NOW IT LOOK'S AS THOUGH THE WHITE MANS WAYS HAVE BECOME A THING OF THE NORM FOR MANY NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES, BANDS AND NATIONS.
FOR MANY OF YOU THAT WERENT AWARE OF THE WAR ON OUR WILDLIFE, IT' NOT JUST THE WHITE MAN THAT IS KILLING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.
NOW MANY NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN TRIBES ARE ALSO JOINNG THE BAND WAGON AS THE YAKIMA , THE COLVILLE, THE WARM SPRINGS, THE SHOSHONE-BANNOCK, THE UMATILLA, TRIBES ARE ALSO ON BOARD WITH SLAUGHTERING THE HORSE'S AND KILLING THE WOLVES.
THE NATIONAL INDIAN CONGRESS HAS ALSO VOTED TO GET ON BOARD WITH HORSE SLAUGHTER.
THEY JUST VOTED FOR HORSE SLAUGHTER IN OKLAHOMA AND NEW MEXICO, 2 STATES THAT HAVE VERY LARGE NATIVE AMERICAN POPULATIONS.
ASK YOURSELF, WHY IS THERE A BIG PUSH TO GET NATIVE AMERICANS ON BOARD WITH HORSE SLAUGHTER ?
IT'S SIMPLE----JUST LIKE IN KAUFMAN TEXAS, WHEN THEY HAD A HORSE SLAUGHTER PLANT THERE, THE BLOOD LEAKED OUT OF THE PLANT AND THE STENCH AS WELL AS THE POLUTANTS THAT CAME OUT OF THAT PLANT GOT INTO THE GROUND AND WATER TABLE POLLUTING THE WATER AQUAFERS AND THE GROUND WHERE NOTHING CAN GROW.
DO YOU NEED MORE EVIDENCE ?
CALL THE FORMER MAYOR OF KAUFMAN , TEXAS  PAULA BACON 325-665-2043 AND ASK HER WHAT HAPPENED TO HER TOWN ?

"I’ve been a meat lover my whole life and after I saw that commercial, I realized it’s time to change things. I will not have meat."
“Thank you for all that you do and for getting a video to MTV, VH1, and Hulu. I`ve started a vegan diet today.”

“We have the ability to demand change as long as we are knowledgeable of what is happening and demand change together.”

Fw: Shark died after K-Mart commercial

RANDAL -- There's a new petition taking off on Change.org, and we think you might be interested in signing it:
A K-Mart commercial had a shark shipped from New York to Los Angeles, and the shark died from stress. Ask K-Mart not to use wild animals in new commercials.
Sign the Petition
Started by: Robin, Edwardsville, Illinois
Shortly after production of a Kmart commercial a 5-foot-long shark died. We need to make sure this never happens again. Please sign.
ABC News wrote that "While filming the Kmart spot in Los Angeles on March 6, the shark, which had been transported from New York in a tank, became distressed and exhibited stress, according to Julia Gallucci, an animal behavior specialist with PETA, who cited several anonymous tipsters that contacted her organization. After a few hours in a 60,000-gallon pool, which PETA says that several people were jumping in and out of during the shoot, the shark had to be removed, and soon died, she said."
With the technology we have today, such as CGI (computer generated images), we no longer have to put these sensitive animals in unnatural situations that can cause so much confusion, fear, stress, and even death.
Please ask Kmart to never use wild animals in their ads and switch to CGI instead.

Mexican gray wolf should be reintroduced in Utah

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? The Utah Legislature is.
Utah's legislators recently gave the lobbyist group, Big Game Forever, $300,000 to lobby against the Mexican gray wolf's return to the Beehive State.However, reintroducing the gray wolf to Utah's wilderness habitats would be an ecologically and economically sound decision.

Wolves had been a part of Utah's ecosystem since before the pilgrims set foot on Plymouth Rock — before Utah was even a state. They used to freely roam the whole state — until humans pushed them to the brink of extinction. "Human-caused mortality caused the near extinction of Mexican wolves and remains the primary reason they are still critically endangered today," according to Lobos of the Southwest, a coalition of organizations for the protection of wolves.

A graduate study at Utah State University called, "Wolves in Utah," found when hunting for prey, wolves target only weak animals so their effect on the animal population is insubstantial. Rather, they aid other animals in the ecosystem, as smaller animals feed off the abandoned carcasses killed by wolves.
Human hunting and activity kill more large game than wolves would if reintroduced in the state. Each year, 2,000 to 5,500 deer are killed because of motorist accidents, according to wildlifeandroads.org. Furthermore, 56 percent of big game hunters in Utah are in favor of bringing wolves back to Utah, according to hjnews.com.

Humans can also benefit from having wolves in the state. Our state's youth could get involved in the wolf wildlife conservation efforts, and we would be fixing a problem we created. It's about time mankind cleaned up after itself.

Tourism is one example of additional economic benefits that would result from reintroducing wolves to Utah's ecosystem. Our state parks would see a dramatic increase in the total amount of visitors per year, bringing in more revenue to the state.

One major financial concern is the threat that wolves pose to cattle. However, the money required to set up a wolf management program and to replace any killed livestock totals $175,000. That is much less than the $300,000 given to the supposedly 'non-profit' lobbyists.

Rural farmers who fear the threat of wolves to their animals can also take preventive actions. Guard dogs and sturdy corrals can be a suitable solution.

The prime number of wolves for the available habitat space in Utah is 200. This amount would allow optimal growth of the species. Anymore would create an influx, which was most likely the problem with the Yellowstone restoration of wolves.

With a healthy and successful growth of wolves in Utah, the Canis lupus could be officially taken off the endangered/threatened species list.

The three little pigs might disagree with bringing wolves back into Utah — the wolves' once native habitat — but 74 percent of Utahns support reintroduction efforts, also according to hjnews.com.
I think it's time to huff and puff and blow the Utah Legislature house down. Wolves have a right to be in Utah.
