On Aug. 1 there was an email message in my inbox from Defenders of Wildlife, telling about the 14 wolf pups that were illegally shot in Alaska by its Game Board. I'm contributing to counter the advertising in place that supports such a travesty and tragedy.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-77303183651558412352008-08-03T00:11:00.000-07:002008-08-03T00:11:00.000-07:00I LOVE "Defenders Of Wildlife" and WWF, too.I can'...I LOVE "Defenders Of Wildlife" and WWF, too.<BR/>I can't recall how many e-mails I've sent out, and petitions I've signed to try to help save:<BR/>*Seals in Canada from the ghastly seal hunts allowed each year(ugh)<BR/>* Polar Bears who are in grave jeopardy<BR/>* Wolves, especially gray wolves in multi-state areas, now at risk of being shot at by "trophy hunters" (there is a very temporary repreive, but the Feds are probably going to make wolves stay on a list that says they are nOT endangered, even though until very recently, they certainly were)!<BR/>Sorry to rant, but it gets me reeeaaallly upset. Glad to read you support these animals through Defenders of Wildlife--it's a great group!<BR/>Peace.Lisa Nanette Allenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263158091013515471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-67839322912283406522008-07-29T23:23:00.000-07:002008-07-29T23:23:00.000-07:00DFTP,Interesting about being interviewed by the st...DFTP,<BR/>Interesting about being interviewed by the street preacher; your reply was profound. Thanks for reading. :)<BR/><BR/><BR/>WW,<BR/>I hope you do blog about your cause. The walrus awaits...<BR/><BR/><BR/>Lisa,<BR/>Wow, how to go about it...so many ways, really. There's a woman in our local area who started a wildlife rehab for raccoons mainly but she also takes in injured or trapped skunks and others. On a larger scale, just joining one of the groups that focus on saving wildlife on earth is a way to have an effect. With a small annual contribution you'll get newsletters, etc. that will help you with other possible ideas. Some excellent groups are the Natural Resources Defense Council, The World Wildlife Fund, International Fund for Animal Welfare, and Greenpeace. You can see which one appeals most to you by visiting websites. Or if you find another good one I'd be interested in knowing the name!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-11722500575901582942008-07-29T19:11:00.000-07:002008-07-29T19:11:00.000-07:00Great post.

A Manic Street Preacher (not one of the band, just a street preacher) stopped me recently and asked me if i thought the world would survive. I responded: very probably - but i don't know where and if humans will be in that world.<BR/><BR/>I loved the story about your mother - a great memory and thanks for sharingDon't Feed The Pixieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380146661526476947noreply@blogger.com
