Dear Jody,We need your immediate help to turn back the U.S. Navy's latestassault on whales off the coast of California.Last year, the California Coastal Commission ruled that the Navymust follow common-sense safety measures while usinghigh-intensity sonar off southern California. The Navy refusedto comply with those recommendations, even after two subsequentcourt orders.Now, the Navy is asking the Commission for an even moreexpansive use of sonar in the area.Please go to nrdconline.org rightnow and urge the California Coastal Commission to reject theNavy's request, unless it commits to simple precautions thatwill protect marine life. We only have until October 14, 2008The Commission's staff has already concluded that, withoutadditional protections, the Navy's extensive use of sonar wouldcause significant harm to California's marine mammals. Itrecommended that the Navy avoid biologically sensitive areas(especially during key migration periods), turn off sonar whenmarine mammals are sighted close to the sonar ship, and improvemonitoring for marine mammals before the sonar is turned on.Go to Tell the CA Coastal Commission to save whales from sonar right away.It's crucial that the Commission hear from concernedCalifornians before October 14, 2008Thanks again for taking action in support of marine mammals offthe coast of California.Sincerely,Frances BeineckePresidentNRDC Action FundThe NRDC Action Fund is the 501(c)(4) affiliate of the NaturalResources Defense Council (NRDC).Jungle FriendsMonkey Art comes to Havana, Florida!An Exhibit of Artworkcreated by the Jungle Friends monkeysOctober 11 through December 2008 at Light N Up Art Co-Op and Studios208 NW 1st St. Havana, FL 32333 850-539-0006Opening Night Reception and Party Saturday, October 11, 2009, 5-8 pmInvitation Flyer (pdf format)Visit the Monkey Art exhibit Saturday evening for a first look at the monkeys' paintings, and meet Kari Bagnall, founder and director of Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary.

Mosha was shy at first~Leaving a LegacyPAWS' Beloved Elephant Passes Away9/21/2008 #71, one of PAWS' cherished African elephants, peacefully passed away this weekend. Her PAWS family was with her. She was 26 years old. #71 was born in Africa and shipped to the United States after her mother was killed in a cull. Assigned and tagged #71, and slated to be sold as a baby circus elephant, she and a few others in the group ended up being purchased by a man in Florida who owned a large estate. Without her mother's care she was malnourished, chronically sick and nearly died. In an attempt to save her young life, Pat Derby and Ed Stewart, founders of PAWS, offered to give her sanctuary. "71 was the cornerstone of PAWS. She was the reason for everything that guides PAWS' founding mission. She leaves a legacy for the other African elephants, Mara, Ruby, Lulu and Maggie, whom she led. ARK 2000 was truly hers," Pat Derby said. When 71 first arrived at PAWS her veterinarian said she would never be a healthy elephant. But Pat and Ed committed themselves to giving her a chance. They slept with her for months, and bottle fed her until she was strong enough to eat on her own. They gave her love and encouragement. They gave her a family. "When 71 first arrived and walked out of her crate," Derby recalls, "we immediately cut the chains from around her neck. We promised her right then she would never again be chained. She would never be beaten. She would never have to do anything she didn't want to do. We kept that promise to her." Captivity, and the practice of capturing elephants-tearing them away from their families, forcing them to live in confined spaces, often cruelly trained-is ultimately what destroys them. "I hope everyone who hears 71's story will remember her when they see elephants languishing in small spaces, rocking and swaying, deprived of their freedom and their families," Derby said. A necropsy will be performed this week. PAWS P.O.

Horse sanctuaries and rescues around the country are in crisis overthe soaring cost of hay!Today's struggling economy isn't just affecting people at the gaspump; the horse industry is also plagued by the escalating cost ofhay. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's market report,hay costs have risen from $160 per ton in 2006 to $235 per ton lastweek.Faced with these rising costs and ongoing drought conditions manyhorses are left to starve on arid land. Equine rescues are beingflooded with calls from caring horse owners to relinquish theirbeloved pets simply because they can no longer afford to purchase hay.As a result, horse sanctuaries have become crowded with horses forwhich they too are struggling to care, and are reporting a sharpincrease in the number of emaciated horses being surrendered to them.The situation has become even more dire in areas where wildfires,drought, or flooding have affected hay crops causing wild horsesanctuaries to cut back on their services as a result of thestaggering costs.In order to address this crisis, the ASPCA has created an EmergencyHay Fund; this Fund will provide much needed financial assistance tohorse sanctuaries to help reduce the burden of escalating hay costs.Every dollar we receive will be used exclusively to provide EmergencyHay Relief grants to struggling horse sanctuaries and rescueorganizations.Please, help us make a difference in the lives ofhorses by supporting this important Fund; every dollar will truly makea difference!Thank you for your support!Always remember to Make Pet Adoption Your First Option®!ASPCA | 424 E. 92nd St. | New York, NY | 10128Please visit our website~ASPCA News Alert August 22, 2008 Animal Witness:"The Michael Vick Case” Premieres Sunday, 8/24/08Last year’s federal case against Vick dominated the media for months, generating public concern for the dogs seized from Bad Newz Kennels—and for animal victims across the country still involved in this brutal “sport.” Many of these questions will be answered this Sunday night during “Animal Witness: The Michael Vick Case," the premiere episode of Animal Planet’s new series on animal forensics.

You can make some great savings this month on some of our most popular companion animal jewelry!We're celebrating the "miracle birth" of our new kittens! Proud Mom, Feather, took us all completely by surprise when we found her nursing her newborns beneath a plastic swimming pool in our backyard!Feather came to us from an animal shelter last December. Everyone believed she had already been spayed since her left ear was neatly "clipped". A typical sign of a feral cat who has been caught, spayed or neutered, and then re-released into the wild. Not so in our Feather's case!! We are all enjoying the adorable fruits of her very-present womb! Hopefully the kittens will pose long enough for Mike to create some gorgeous new feline designs! Just a reminder though of the importance of having your companion animals spayed and/or neutered in order to avoid such surprises!!In the meantime, why not indulge in some of our cat and dog jewelry and make the most of our August sale prices!"
