California Bears Need Your Help Before March 13
Dear XXX,
The California Department of Fish and Game wants to expand the inhumane and unsporting hound hunting of black bears when these animals are already facing pressure from trophy hunting, poaching, and habitat loss. Take action now.
DFG proposes scrapping the state-wide, annual limit of 1,700 bears killed; initiating a new bear hunt in one county and expanding the hunt in two others, and expanding the area where bear hound training can occur. The bears need quick action, because comments are only accepted until March 13. Tell DFG to hold their fire.
Thanks for all you do for animals.

Wayne Pacelle, President & CEO

Call-in Day Tomorrow: End Mountaintop-removal Coal Mining

Dear Druid (Reverend) Morrigan,
This week hundreds of activists are in Washington, D.C. taking action to end mountaintop-removal coal mining. You can be part of the action by picking up the phone and calling your representatives tomorrow, March 9, for the national call-in day to end mountaintop removal.

Mountaintop-removal coal mining is one of the most outrageous environmental and social-justice transgressions in America today, threatening the biodiversity and human communities of Appalachia. More than 500 mountains, 1.5 million acres of forest, and 2,000 miles of stream have already been annihilated by this practice.

The deep pockets of Big Coal are working hard in Washington to block a bill called the Clean Water Protection Act that would undo the political loopholes that currently make it legal for coal corporations to blow up mountains and then dump the wastes directly into streams.

Please call your representatives tomorrow, March 9 and ask them to become cosponsors of the Clean Water Protection Act, H.R. 1310. If they're already a sponsor, ask that they actively work to promote this bill and to ban mountaintop removal.

Talking points for calls to representatives:


Introduce yourself -- give your name and city.
State that you're calling to urge Representative XXX to cosponsor the Clean Water Protection Act, H.R. 1310.

The bill would undo the political loopholes that make mountaintop removal legal.

More than 500 mountains, 1.5 million acres of forest, and 2,000 miles of stream have already been annihilated by this practice.

If they're already a sponsor of the bill, ask that they actively work to promote it and to ban mountaintop removal.

Thank them for their time.




Please take action on March 9, 2010.
