Save Sea Lions: Stop Trashing Our Oceans!

Image
Nicknamed "H.C." by the rescue team that discovered him, this poor animal was trapped in plastic litter -- and would have perished if it were not for the quick action of the Marine Mammal Center. The MMC does all it can to protect marine wildlife along the coast of California, but despite their best efforts nearly one million marine animals are wounded or killed by ocean garbage each year. You can help reduce that number by encouraging others to recycle more, purchasing goods with less bulky packaging and by making an effort to keep toxic materials out of drains or other areas that may drain into the ocean.

Help Save The Maned Wolf From Extinction

Image
The maned wolf is a unique canid species. Despite its appearance, it is not closely related to foxes, wolves, jackals, or to domestic dogs; instead it may be the only modern survivor of a group of South American canids that went extinct about six million years ago. At one point, its one-of-a-kind "roar-bark" could be heard throughout much of eastern Bolivia. Now the maned wolf is classified as a threatened species. In Bolivia, where less than a thousand of these fascinating creatures remain, its habitat is rapidly being cleared for agricultural production. This includes the Beni savanna, a biologically rich area that is home not only to the elusive maned wolf, but also to the critically endangered blue-throated Macaw and other rare animals. You can help. Rainforest Trust is matching your donation,  so your gift of just $15 dollars will purchase and protect an entire acre of the best remaining habitat for the maned wolf in the Beni savannah. Buying and protecting land in ...

Bullied girl, whose brother wrote viral letter to Santa, surprised by favorite band

Image
When Karen Suffern, a single mom from Rocky Mount, N.C., asked her 8-year-old twins to write a letter to Santa with their Christmas wishes over the weekend, she expected to see toys, books and clothes on the list. Instead, Suffern was shocked to see a heartfelt request from her son, Ryan, that Santa Claus step in and put an end to the bullying suffered by his twin sister, Amber. “Dear Santa … I wanted a [remote control] car and helicopter, but I don’t want that any mor. Kid at school are still picking on Amber and its not fair because she doesnt do anything to them … ,” Ryan wrote. “I prayed that they will stop but god is bisy and needs your help. “Is it against the rules to give gift early?” he wrote. “Ryan handed me his and told me not to read it so of course I read it to find out what he wanted,” Suffern told ABCNews.com. “That’s when I realized and thought, ‘Oh, my gosh.’” Read Entire Story by clicking HERE Source:  ABC News; WHAS Louisville UPDATE ...

Help Stop The Unlimited Shoot-on-Sight Killing Of Wolves In Wyoming

Image
Last October it became legal to shoot, trap and gas Wyoming's 328 wolves throughout most of the state.  Already more than 40 wolves have been killed. Tell Wyoming Governor Matt Mead to put a stop to the slaughter of gray wolves, and end this brutal extermination policy taking place in nearly 85 percent of the state. Wyoming's new law threatens the gray wolf recovery that is under way in the Northern Rockies—and even includes a dangerous loophole that would make it legal to kill wolves no matter how few remain. Help us keep the pressure up! Ask Governor Mead to stop the slaughter, and put policies in place to ensure the survival of wolves now and for future generations. Click HERE to Send the Message!
