Anti-Environmental Poison Pill Riders. Two Political Trainwrecks in the Making.

Anti-Environmental Poison Pill Riders

And they’re off! Last week, the House and Senate Appropriations Committees finished work on their respective versions of the federal spending bill that funds the Department of the Interior, the EPA and the U.S. Forest Service. Both bills are loaded with ideological riders that would block or eliminate protections for our air, water, climate, public health, endangered species, forests and other public lands. A rider is a provision that either makes a change in law directly or, more commonly, prohibits an agency from using its funds to carry out specific duties under a law or rule. The House Appropriations Committee imbedded nearly 40 anti-environmental riders into its spending bill before it was voted out of the committee on June 15. The Senate Appropriations Committee passed its spending bill on June 16.

«Vous les tuez? Débrouillez-vous pour les ramener!» - Le Matin, l'actualité en direct: sports, people, politique, économie, multimédia

Un acte courageux alors que le business de la chasse en Afrique rapporte 200 millions de dollars par an, selon «The Economist». Par exemple, on estime que 1000 lions captifs sont abattus - la plupart par des touristes américains et européens sur le terrain de ranchs sud-africains - chaque année. Il faut payer environ 20 mille dollars pour pouvoir «s’offrir» un lion en captivité et 75 mille pour un animal sauvage.

Mais pour SAA, se faire de l'argent avec ce commerce est devenu exclu. 3 Former Animal Rights ‘Villains’ Who Came to be Heroes for the Movement. Whether you’re working to end the suffering of animals exploited in captivity, on factory farms, or those being hunted to near extinction in the wild, all animal rights advocates have a collective mission: to help animals in need and to minimize our contribution to their suffering as much as possible.

3 Former Animal Rights ‘Villains’ Who Came to be Heroes for the Movement

Those of us who understand these issues have strong beliefs on the matters and we may find ourselves quick to judge, but it’s important we remind ourselves that not everyone is privy to animal welfare issues. In our society, using animals for entertainment, consumption, and a myriad of other uses has been normalized. As such, learning to understand how our actions may harm other creatures can be challenging. Most of us did not begin our lives on this path, as animal welfare advocates, vegans or vegetarians.

Why Killer Whales Belong in the Ocean, Not SeaWorld. This Mama Pig Was On The Brink Of Death. When Emma the pig arrived at Apricot Lane Farms in California, she was already in rough shape. The sow was sick and underweight -- and very pregnant.

Farm owner John Chester was told that Emma would be lucky if she had six piglets, but that prediction didn't turn out to be completely accurate. The night Emma went into labor, she gave birth to not six, not seven, not eight piglets, but 17. Out of the 17 born, 13 piglets survived. Chester was stunned. Une population d'orque menacée d'extinction perd deux nouveaux membres - 10 décembre 2014. Marine Debris Deadly to Whales, Dolphins. You might think twice before tossing a piece of plastic into the garbage rather than a recycling bin when you hear how deadly marine debris, such as floating plastic, is to whales, dolphins and other sea creatures. According to a 2014 report published in the journal Marine Pollution Bulletin, ingestion of trash has been documented in 56 percent of cetacean species, with rates of ingestion as high as 31 percent in some populations.

Bottlenose dolphins and various species of whales are also common victims of marine debris, with several tragic cases last year alone. That's not surprising considering that millions of tons of plastic items end up in the oceans each day. COVE REPORT – September though December 2014. Compiled by Laura Bridgeman & Mark J.

Diaphragm injury responsible for hippo's death, autopsy finds.

Taipei, Dec. 29 (CNA) An autopsy confirmed Monday that A He, the hippo that first jumped from a moving truck and later fell several meters, died from a torn diaphragm. Taipei Zoo, which performed the autopsy, said there is a 30-40 centimeter rupture on the right side of the hippo's diaphragm which caused a lung to slip from the chest cavity to the abdominal cavity. A He, who belonged to a private leisure farm in Taichung, was found dead early Monday morning in a pond where it was given shelter since Saturday to recuperate from its series of injuries that started the day before.

On Friday, A He jumped from a truck and broke one of its legs while being transported from a temporary shelter in Miaoli after renovations wrapped up at its enclosure at the Skyzoo recreational farm in Taichung, where it has been kept for eight years.
