Tell Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell: Put a Stop to this Delisting Catastrophe
Our worst nightmare is now a reality. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has formally proposed to remove all Endangered Species Act (ESA) protection for nearly all gray wolves across the United States.
If this proposal becomes final, delisting will prematurely turn wolf management over to the states, and we've already seen what can happen when rabid anti-wolf politics are allowed to trump science and core wildlife management principles.
More than 1,100 wolves have already been killed in the Northern Rockies since Congress took ESA protections away from them in 2011.
Please send an urgent message to Secretary of Interior Sally Jewell — demand that she provide oversight during the official review period and urge her to re-think the official proposal before it becomes final

NASA Stumbles Across 10 Undiscovered Black Holes
Super Massive Black Holes
Super massive black holes are the largest black hole type, possessing hundreds of thousands to billions of solar masses. Astronomers postulate that there are super massive black holes dotted throughout distant galaxies, often situated within their centers. Sagittarius A* is the name coined for the super massive black within the Milky Way.
The trigger of these space monsters has been the source of much debate amongst leading astronomers. One theory posits, super massive black holes materialize upon a star’s demise, as matter is squeezed into a very small volume. The extreme density of this matter instigates powerful gravitational forces, from which even light cannot escape.
Many of these black holes have been identified indirectly, by detecting X-rays emitted from the accretion disks, surrounding their cores. The accretion disk arises from the influence of the supermassive black hole’s gravitational forces, slowly drawing streams of matter ever-closer, which slowly revolve around its center. As the matter proceeds towards its fate, it experiences frictional forces that cause it to release detectable, high-energy radiation. This radiation can then be measured by X-ray telescopes, such as NuSTAR.

Pets Instead Of Pills: Support Service Dogs For Veterans
Trained service animals offer a way to manage the symptoms of PTSD without resorting to the antipsychotics often prescribed to these veterans. Millions of animals, meanwhile, sit in shelters and foster homes, waiting for a place to call a home of their own.
Congress has acknowledged this discrepancy with the Dog Training Therapy Act, legislation that directs the Department of Veteran Affairs to carry out a pilot program to train service dogs for veterans in need of therapeutic care for post-deployment mental health. Such a pilot would lay the groundwork for a large-scale program that could benefit the hundreds of thousands of veterans suffering from PTSD.
Rather than prescribing more pills, this legislation provides veterans with alternative care that can be integral to their recovery.

Tell Washington University to STOP Hurting Cats! *Please Sign The Petition*
At Washington University in St. Louis, pediatrics residents use cats to learn how to insert a breathing tube in a human infant. They force long tubes down the cats' windpipes, which can cause bruising, bleeding, scarring and intense pain. The cats will be abused again and again like this for years.
Washington University is the only civilian medical center training doctors that continues this inhumane practice. We've scored major victories in the past — and recently convinced the University of Virginia to stop using cats. But we can't rest until every cat is safe from this severe form of cruelty.
These procedures are completely unnecessary because human infant simulators — used at every other medical center in the U.S. — provide a superior learning experience and are cruelty-free. In fact, Washington University uses simulators to teach intubation procedures to practicing physicians, but they refuse to use them for pediatrics resident training. It doesn't make sense!
Tell Washington University to put a stop to this cruel and inhumane practice before hey harm another cat.
