Birds Migrate Toward Gulf Mess
As it has been for untold numbers of years birds migrate toward warmer climates during winter. You have probably seen flocks of birds and heard people say they are going south for the winter. Of course, the opposite is true in the spring as millions of birds flock to the north. All along the migration [...]
Sea Shepherd Flies Over the Gulf
The oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico certainly will take years and more likely decades to clear out. Many people are already sick from the chemical dispersant used to break up the crude and if history is to be our guide, people will die due to the hazards of these chemicals. It happened in [...]
Save a Whale, Save a Soul
While still feeling the glow of the victory at the IWC last week, I ran across an article about cetaceans and how they are so human like. I read the article with much interest because whales and dolphins have long been of interest to me. I have read more and more abut them as the [...]
The Whales Won!!!!!!!
Finally a little relief in the world wide battle to save whales from the cruelty of those who would hunt them. This wonderful news came to me late last night in an email from the International Fund for Animal Welfare. The International Whaling Commission turned down the proposal by Japan, Iceland and Norway to lift [...]
Whales More Human than Thought
For a long time many people have believed whales and dolphins were far more intelligent than they were given credit for. I am among those people. No surprise there, huh? The idea that any marine or animal life is sentient has long been considered strange by many. However, now science is coming down on our [...]
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 [...]
A Very Lucky Penguin, Indeed!
I believe animals are smart. I have witnessed dogs, cats and birds doing things that prove their intelligence. But even though I believe in my animal friends brain capacity, they never cease to amaze me. I love it every time another member of the animal kingdom shows off just how clever they are. That is [...]
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 [...]
Tell Obama-Stop Offshore Drilling
We are now witnessing a horrific environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. It really appears the greed and environmental incompetence of big corporations has finally resulted in the worst possible of all scenarios. One of the worst things about all of this, besides the loss of beaches, wild areas, bayous and wildlife is the [...]
Aussies to Court Over Whaling
Australia and other nations have not been able to talk Japan out of their illegal whaling excursions through diplomatic channels. So instead of just continuing to talk while too many whales die, Australia’s Prime Minister Rudd has to decided to take action against Japan in the International Court over the matter. Australia wants to try [...]
Endangered and Rare at Risk
I thought all of you might like to see just how many animals and birds are actually in danger due to the oil leak in the Gulf. The list is so long, its better to go there than put it up here on fluffy feet. Please note when you are reading the list the number [...]
US Leads Way on Anti-Whaling
We will celebrate Earth Day this coming Thursday. Perhaps it is a good idea to let you all know that efforts are being made at high governmental levels to help whales. While I think that we are allowing the nations who ruthlessly hunt whales a whole lot more than is necessary by allowing them to [...]
Take Action for Whales
A moratorium on whaling has been in place since 1986. Now nations are once again considering opening the oceans for commercial whale hunting. Why the countries of the world would even consider this is beyond my understanding. But they are, so we must make our voices heard and our opinions known. When whales are hunted [...]
Senator Kerry for the Whales
Today, Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts introduced legislation to help protect and save whales. The International Whale Conservation and Protection Act of 2010 addresses major threats to whales including commercial whaling, ship strikes, entanglement in fishing gear, ocean noise, and climate change and reasserts the U.S. as a leader in whale conservation. Thank you Senator [...]
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 [...]
Help Save Ocean Life
Here we go again. The environment of endandered Stellar Sea Lions and various whales in the Bering Straight is being threatened. This time it is by massive commercial fishing boats that are sucking up their essential food supply which is a small fish called the Pollack. They then sell these fish to fast food chains [...]
Maddow interviews Bob Barker
Bob Barker has long been an advocate for animals. You will remember him from The Price is Right and his campaign to spay or neuter pets. Now he has given five million dollars to the Sea Shepherd Society to help them in their fight against whale poachers. Rachel Maddow is a good interviewer and she [...]
