Top 10 Most Endangered Species
At the end of last year the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) put out their list of the ten animal species to watch in 2010. We are now half way through the year and it seems we still have members of these species but are we doing enough? Sadly, the Giant Panda, Tiger and Polar Bear [...]
Great News for Polar Bears
I want to thank everyone who stood up for the endangered Polar Bear. All those signatures, letters,emails and phone calls have done the trick for these big white bears—at least for now. On Thursday May 27th, President Obama and his Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced a halt to drilling in the Arctic. But you have [...]
Its The Weekend! Animal Style
While I was watching the video I already posted today, I ran across this. It is penguins again. This time with a lazy Polar Bear. What funny birds and what beautiful bears.

Baby Seal Saved by Hunter
Alaskan native tribes are allowed to kill a certain number of seals for subsistence. It is part of their native culture and heritage so the government recognizes it as such and allows the hunting.

Protect The Arctic Refuge for Good
Environmentalists and all of us tree hugging hippies have been trying to get the Arctic National Refuge protected for a long time. It seems we have fought this fight time and time again and in fact, we have. Now let’s finish it for good. Let’s end the rush to open this area for oil drilling. [...]
Discovery Not For Wolves?
I refuse to let this site become political in any way. That said, the ex governor of Alaska is a proponent of aerial hunting of wolves and contributed to a whole lot of other damage to the environment while she was leading the state. Of course, I am speaking of Sarah Palin. I don’t want [...]
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. Animals are killed for their parts like the Rhinos horn and the leopards coats. Poaching is a serious danger to the environment and a great cruelty to the animals, many of [...]
Help Stop Arctic Drilling
Animals in the Arctic are endangered and at the very least anyone would have to admit that the areas environment is fragile. Polar Bears, Arctic Foxes, Penguins and various species of Whales call this area home. Many of these animals are fighting for the very survival of their species. Then why is the Obama Administration [...]

God & Bad News for Polar Bears
By this time everyone knows how much I like Polar Bears. Because I’m not a fool, I’m not about to jump in to play with them. But I admire them and think of them as very special bears. Today there is news about the campaign to set aside protected habitat for these majestic animals. The [...]
Good News for Polar Bears
I absolutely love Polar Bears. Don’t get me wrong, I am not one of those nuts that would jump in to meet them face to face in their habitat at a zoo. I just admire and like the animal. As a matter of fact, I like all bears. Polar Bears just have a special place [...]
