And
the cruelties continue. Today a pod of pilot whales wait their fate
while the fisher scum of the town of Taiji have a day off. Families of
pilot whales bob up and down together, exhausted and hungry after being
driven into the infamous cove waiting to be slaughtered.
Also today, millions of animals lost their lives to man.
A nation is judged on how it treats its animals..

4. Call Jewell's office: 202-208-7351 with this sample message: "I oppose the massive wild horse roundup about to take place in Wyoming. The BLM did not provide any opportunity for the public to participate in the decision to remove these horses. Nearly 1,000 cherished wild horses will lose their freedom solely to appease ranchers who graze their livestock on our public lands. The American public opposes this roundup. Please stop the Wyoming wild horse wipeout. Our public lands belong to all Americans."
5. Send Secretary Jewell an email: exsec@ios.doi.gov

SEAWORLD Entertainment is in more hot water.
The
company (a separate entity to the SeaWorld on the Gold Coast) has been
hit with a shareholder lawsuit accusing it of misleading investors about
the impact of last year’s Blackfish documentary on attendance and mistreating its famed killer whales.
Last month, SeaWorld shares tumbled 33 per cent in
one day after the company warned that the hard-hitting film was hurting attendance at its theme parks.
The
film released in July 2013 — just months after SeaWorld’s April 18
initial public offering — made the alleged mistreatment of orcas a
national issue and galvanised animal rights activists.
The
suit alleges that SeaWorld failed to disclose it had improperly cared
for its orca population and continued to feature and breed a whale that
had killed and injured
numerous trainers.
As
a consequence, the company “created material uncertainties and risks”
that could impact attendance at its family-oriented parks.
The
Blackstone Group, which bought SeaWorld less than five years ago, has
reaped about $2.2 billion on its $1 billion investment since December
2009. Blackstone has a 22.5 per cent stake in the aquatic park operator.
Shares of SeaWorld, which went public at $27 a share, traded up slightly Wednesday to $20.70 at 12:30pm in New York.

JJ and Rooy.
Two special things in my life, who knows if JJ is still with us!
Hunters are killing bears by the hundreds and most hunters are camped
outside the perimeter of the WRI grounds... At the end of this vile
hunting season, most of Lynn Rogers research bears will have been wiped
out under the orders (unofficially) of the corrupt DNR....
As
hunters decimate the North Woods in Minnesota comes the loss of
5-year-old male Ty (son of 8-year-old Bow, great-grandson of 15-year-old
RC, and great-great-grandson of 27-year-old Shadow). Ty was a playful
bear who had good rapport with many
other bears. Ty was popular. Many bears knew and trusted him and
frequently initiated play—or responded to his initiatives. His
relationships extended to sharing food. He often fed with his nose
peacefully touching the noses of larger or smaller males, even when the
food was highly preferred hazelnuts. Seeing his relationships develop
with the other bears this past year as he became a confident adult, we
would have liked to better quantify those relationships, the amount of
play, and how it contrasts with the behaviors of less accepted males.
Part of Ty’s acceptance by other males may have been due to his calm,
trusting demeanor that also extended to humans. We saw Ty’s picture
posted as one of the bears killed on September 1—opening day.
Massacre Of Bears In MN, United States
This is one of the hunters who is taking the docs research bears one by one.
This is the guy who killed Hope in 2011 with a bow and arrow. He has taken (as i know up to now) 4 bears this season. He hides around the WRI for each bear to come in and then destroys their lives.......
I won't give his name just yet for fear and retribution to all bears in this area....

Two Orcas Taken In Illegal Capture In Russia
Article Via Russia Photo:
Two orcas taken in illegal capture in Russia: We have news today that two killer whales were captured in recent weeks in Nikolaya Gulf, in the southwestern Sea of Okhotsk, the Russian Far East. The captors are reporting that the orcas were actually taken in 2013 and spent the winter in Nikolaya Gulf. This is impossible because the Gulf is completely frozen in winter. Word is that the orcas are being transported toward Komsomolsk-on-Amur, 356 km NE of Khabarovsk. Final destination is unknown.
“These captures appear to be illegal,” says Erich Hoyt, WDC research fellow and co-director of the Far East Russia Orca Project which has been studying orcas in the Kamchatka area for 15 years. “No quotas have yet been issued for orca captures in 2014, following disagreements between the Russian Federal Fisheries and the scientific advisory board in Russia who recommended zero captures. Without a quota which is necessary to get a permit, the captures would be illegal.”
This photo shows one of the previous orca captures of a female orca who has become known as Narnia. She is now in Moscow.

Young Leopard Seal Being Euthanized
Taronga
Zoo holding down a leopard seal that lost it's way home from Antarctica
and ended up in Australia. Sadly, this young leopard seal has been
fighting for it's life on our beach and because NSW does not have
anything in place to help nurse these beautiful sea leopards back to
health they are euthanized. Very traumatic and upsetting.

Sadly The Leopard Seal Was Put Down
I argued against it with the Vet...was difficult as I was there with my baby. In the end I had to be lead away as I was the only one protesting this action. They said it was suffering? Taronga Zoo told me that they could not take it due to necessary permission channels that they would have to go through in order to have a captive seal. Really felt that it could have survived if taken in by the zoo. More later.
Taronga Zoo Apparently On Their Way To Leopard Seal
This is not a good sign. The leopard seal came out of the water early today when usually they are out hunting all day. On my way.
Leopard Seal Getting Stronger
Day
6: Monitoring a leopard seal which is visiting Australia from the
Antarctica. This young leopard has been very ill and weak, but hopefully getting
stronger. Today he is yawning showing me his teeth (a warning for me to
stand back) which is a good sign that he is getting stronger! — at Narrabeen Beach SLSC.

Leopard Seal Needs Help In Australia. Must Not Be Killed.
This
cute Leopard seal needs help. Was found hanging around one of my surf
beaches. Leopard seals live in Antarctica and every once in awhile a
(usually a juvenile) will go on an adventure, get lost and end up on a
beach in Australia. Orrca is monitoring this poor leopard seal at the
moment but I have been told Taranga Zoo is coming around with a team to
capture and possibly euthanise him/her. Wish this leopard seal could
return to sea and find it's way back home to Antarctica. Going back to
the beach tomorrow to see how I can help.
