Support the Tiger Stamp
We are not winning the battle to protect and save the tiger. We aren’t losing either. It seems to me we are just holding the status quo. A lot more needs to be done and that is going to cost dollars. That is why I am so happy that the USPO Tiger Stamp is being [...]

More Wild Horse Roundups Planned
The death toll keeps rising for wild horses because of the roundups that have already taken place. But the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is already scheduling more roundups.

Bear Gets His Head Stuck
What a revolting development this is. That must be what a young black bear in Vermont was thinking as he wandered blindly through the trees hitting more than he was missing. It was really no wonder the poor bear was running into trees and anything else in his path. For you see, he had a [...]

Anatolian Shepherd – An Ancient Dog Breed
Anatolian Shepherds are truly an ancient breed of dogs. It is probable that dogs of this type existed 6,000 years ago in Mesopotamia. Now that is a long time for a breed to be around. This dog was developed in the Anatolia region of central Turkey where they were bred to tend flocks of sheep [...]
Is This Poetic Justice?
The Kruger National Park and indeed, all of South Africa as well as the rest of the African continent, are no strangers to poaching.

Help Save Wildlife Habitat
We all know that our environment is in trouble. As a species, humans are ruining things far faster than nature can replace or renew them.

Tiger Decline is Worlds Failure
It is official. There are now considerably more tigers in captivity than in the wild. It appears the entire world has failed this great cat.

Why are Dogs Shooting Us?
I ran across a story recently about a hunter who was shot by his dog. Yes, you read that correctly shot……by his dog. The story rang a bell because I seemed to remember reading about another hunter who was actually shot by his dog and died from his wound. I had a funny feeling that [...]
Cat Scares off Bear
I have heard it said that cats do not guard and are not fierce and fearless fighters. I have found both of these things to be untrue when it comes to the cats I have had the pleasure of sharing life with. In fact, I had a big yellow neutered male cat that was declawed [...]
Save Bear Cubs From Hunters
I received this email from Care2 Petition Site and wanted to pass it along to readers of this blog. Personally this type of cruel slaughter makes me sick.
