Belugas Win -- Thanks to Online Activists Like You

VICTORY!
Belugas Win -- Thanks to Online Activists Like You

Dear Druid Morrigan,

We just got life-saving news for the last 375 beluga whales of Alaska's Cook Inlet.

The National Marine Fisheries Service has decided to place these imperiled whales -- one of the smallest populations of marine mammals left on the planet -- on the endangered species list.

It's a huge win for beluga whales, whose population has plummeted due to the industrialization of Alaska's most populated and fastest-growing waterway.

And it's a huge win for the NRDC Action Fund. More than 118,000 online activists like you sent messages to the Bush Administration demanding protection for the whales.

Our messages accounted for some two-thirds of all 180,000 comments received! This outpouring of national pressure put the White House on notice that the American people expect swift action to save beluga whales from extinction.

But the Bush Administration still dragged its feet. That's why our partner organization, NRDC, and 10 other conservation groups filed suit and put a halt to the administration’s delays.

The beluga's newly won protection will help scientists deal with the many dangers now facing the whales: oil and gas exploration, increased pollution, and plans for massive new projects that could endanger the whales' survival.

We will hold the government's feet to the fire and make sure that habitat protections are put in place under the Endangered Species Act, while there is still time to save the belugas of Cook Inlet.

Meanwhile, I want to thank you for standing up in defense of Alaska's most vulnerable whales. We'll be sure to keep you informed as soon as there are new developments.

Sincerely,
Frances
Frances Beinecke
President

My belief is that finding the culprit should not be as difficult as it sounds with there being so many matching that description. The unusual thing about him was that he had a dachshund on a leash. Around here at least, people matching that description with a dog like that, are rare.The St. Petersburg Police, however, don't appear that interested in apprehending the killer despite the fact the next victim could be a child or an adult, as animal abuse is well known as a gateway crime to crimes against people. This lack of interest is a black mark against our city, St Petersburg, Florida. There could be an opportunity to highlight this, especially as the eyes of the US sporting public turn toward us, with our team, the Rays, to play in this year's baseball World Series.Do we want the cops to go knocking on the door of everyone who has a dachshund? No. Just that all 500 officers be made aware of the combination. It is not hard to remember. Young black guy with dachshund. They are driving through neighborhoods every day. One of them will see the man and his dog.The web site is www. WhoKilledAmy. com We have a flyer there that you can print off to distribute. There is also a petition there that you can print, and have people sign urging our City’s leaders to finish the job on this case. The State of Florida made this a felony punishable by up to five years in prison for a reason.For people both inside and outside the St Petersburg area, you can show support by joining the Facebook or MySpace groups that have been set up recently.The Facebook group is at : http://www. facebook. com/inbox/#/group. php?gid=19860849636 You don't have to be a Facebook member to join.The MySpace Group is at: http://groups. myspace. com/CatchACatKiller Please forward this email on to your friends, colleagues and acquaintances who may be lovers of animals or lovers of justice. I can’t promise you that you will win the lottery, or something amazing will happen before midnight if you do. But, by forwarding it may just want to stop the next victim, animal or human, from being hurt. If you know people of influence in the area or if you have contacts in the media, please let them know of your concerns.There is a reward of up to $4500 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the killer.We thank you for your support. If you can offer any other assistance, material or otherwise, we welcome it.RegardsPaul Gilchrist"
