Save Sharks

The new Congress has hit the ground running, with the introduction of the Shark Conservation Act (HR 81). This bill would require that sharks caught in all U.S. waters be landed whole with their fins still attached. Please tell your Representative to help ensure fast passage of this important piece of legislation.

Wildlife-friendly ranchers like Larry and Bette Haverfield have worked hard to preserve the American grasslands that they own and lease. That’s why they volunteered their land for the reintroduction of the once-thought-to-be-extinct black-footed ferret.

But last week, commissioners in Logan County, Kansas put the ranchers on notice: forced prairie dog poisonings could happen as early as this Monday, December 15th -- a move that would destroy the state’s largest prairie dog town and effectively end black-footed ferret recovery in the state.

Write Kansas Governor Sebelius today and urge her to stop the needless poisonings on the prairie.
