CATCA E-mail ALERT
ALERT for the seals, elephants at zoo in Toronto, wildlife, Yupi, WFFF and more
Dear friends, colleagues and supporters,
I have a couple of urgent alerts here. Please take action ASAP. Thank you!
The Hon. Senator MacHarb sent this urgent message:
The Senate Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans has recently begun a study that could result in the killing of 70,000 grey seals off Canada's East Coast.
The Fisheries Minister is pushing federal scientists to justify the slaughter of seals through contrived studies and one-sided hearings for political reasons. He has decided to ignore factors such as the impact of uncontrolled foreign overfishing in the waters off our coast and the total lack of scientific proof that seals are affecting the cod s recovery.
The committee is considering an irresponsible cull that could, in my view, have serious negative impact on the Atlantic ecosystem and the long term health of many species, including cod. This slaughter would also result in untold costs to taxpayers and to Canada s international reputation.
I have called on the committee to do due diligence and gather scientific evidence from all sides of this issue, not simply the studies that fit in with the unjustifiable goal of killing 70,000 seals.
I urge you to write to the committee and its members who can be contacted through the Committee website http://senate-senat.ca/pofo-e.asp.
The government needs to know how Canadians and people around the world feel about this indefensible slaughter.
Sincerely,
Hon. Senator Mac Harb
Elephants in the zoo in Toronto need your urgent help!
I'm sure you already know that on October 25, 2011, City of Toronto council voted 31 - 4 in favour of a motion to move the Toronto Zoo's three surviving African elephants, Toka, Thika and Iringa, to the PAWS sanctuary in California. That motion followed an earlier May 2011 decision by the Toronto Zoo Board of Management to end the zoo's elephant program and relocate the elephants.
Recently, a small number of Toronto Zoo staff and Board of Management members have been trying to open up the issue again, with the intent of challenging the move. Please click on the link below and sign the petition supporting the decision by City of Toronto council to move the elephants to PAWS and urging them to make sure there are no further unnecessasry delays in moving them.

Another action is here:
Children are killing wildlife in the US!
This website is full with pics of kids with dead animals. Obviously at this young age they can't have permits so this are illegal hunts (It has several pictures of kids with just killed wildlife): http://www.newjerseyhunter.com/article94166.htm
This is the e-mail to report this webpage: fw5esnjfo@fws.gov
These kids are too young to get permits so it must be illegal and is immoral and unethical!. Pls. all of you out there report it too.
