New Rule Would Lower the Bar Again on Killing Endangered Wolves in Northern Rockies 
BOISE, Id. – A new draft rule from the Bush Administration would once again diminish protections for wolves under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and threaten endangered wolf recovery efforts in the northern Rockies. The new rule would significantly broaden the circumstances under which wolves can be killed allowing the states to kill more than half of the approximately 1,300 wolves in the region today prior to their delisting. The new rule is ardently opposed by wildlife conservation group...

Millions of Baby Turtles in Grave Danger if Federal Ban on Turtle Sales Lifted Friday, June 29, 2007 : Turtles urgently need your help! The sale of turtles who are smaller than 4 inches in diameter has been banned in the U.S. since 1975—and for good reason.

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? The Controversial Peter Singer Recently, I had the opportunity to eat, drink and make moral calculations with philosopher Peter Singer. The average person might think hanging out with a philosopher—even a renowned and accomplished one—would be a non-event or cause a pain in the brain, as in the soreness that can develop after a college class of induction, deduction and cerebral gymnastics. But as a lifelong fiancée of philosophy, I was thrilled that Dr. Singer agreed to meet with me....

Read that, "we have no more room because we've been warehousing animals all year to keep our euthanasia rate artificially low to try to make me look good."...

Don't Let Congress Trump Local Animal Welfare Laws Saturday, June 16, 2007 : State and local laws are some of the most important types of protection that farmed animals have. While most states do little to protect farmed animals from abuse, animal advocates have convinced some states to ban practices such as horse slaughter, the force-feeding of ducks and geese to produce foie gras, and the confinement of calves and pigs to crates so small that they can’t even turn around....
