    Thumbs up Defend Wildlife in the US

    Dear Defender of Wildlife:

    I am writing today because Defenders of Wildlife needs your help
    on a critical wildlife issue. In the upcoming Congress, our
    vanishing wildlife will be under attack as never before.
    Congressional leaders have already announced plans to roll back
    the Endangered Species Act (ESA) which protects our wolves,
    bald eagles, sea otters, manatees, and so many more. Take
    action now at:

    http://www.saveesa.org

    We need to protect vanishing wildlife not only because all
    life deserves our respect and appreciation, but also because
    they serve as indicators of the health of the web of life upon
    which we all depend. If we don't take action now, many species
    will face extinction.

    WHAT YOU CAN DO:

    We need to send a strong message to Congress and the White
    House that any weakening of the ESA will not be tolerated.
    Please go to http://www.saveesa.org and help us gather 100,000
    signatures for our Endangered Species Conservation Pledge to
    save our wildlife. So far, we've collected over 18,000
    signatures,so we need your help to reach our goal. Thanks for
    doing your part to protect our nation's most precious and
    endangered plants and animals.

    Sincerely,

    Rodger Schlickeisen
    President
    Defenders of Wildlife

    P.S. Please forward this e-mail to your friends and colleagues
    to get them involved in this critical effort to save our
    vanishing wildlife from extinction!

    Environmentalists?

    'New threat as wolves make comeback

    · Protections eased after big increase in numbers
    · Environment groups fear backlash by ranchers

    Julian Borger in Washington

    The Guardian

    America's wolves have climbed back from the edge of extinction in the past 10 years to the point where the federal government is about to relinquish responsibility for their protection. But environmentalists say the wolf is not quite out of the woods and warn that the human backlash against the predator has only just begun.'

    'Jogger killed and dismembered by alligator
    By Andrew Gumbel in Los Angeles
    Published: 13 May 2006

    Even in Florida, nobody who heads out for an evening jog in a suburban neighbourhood expects to be attacked and killed by an alligator. But that is what happened to Yovy Suarez Jimenez, a 28-year-old biology student, who took one fatal step too close to a canal. [...]

    As soon as the incident started to receive publicity, wildlife officials launched what amounted to an alligator cull in the entire canal area. They set bait traps - using pig's lungs and other unorthodox materials attached to a tough nylon cord - and vowed to track down the killer beast. The first alligator was captured on Thursday night, but it turned out to be shorter than the killer - just six or seven feet long. After it was killed, its stomach was found to contain only tennis balls and an American football, not human remains. A Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation spokesman told local television that his team would "take out everything we find". The hunt continues.'
