Do these guys need another handout?

 

		Save Sea Turtles: No More Handouts to Big Oil Loggerhead sea turtles like this are threatened by Big Oil's plans to expand offshore drilling.  Urge your representative to oppose Congressman Doc Hastings harmful handouts to Big Oil.    Share on Facebook Dear Omss, Companies like BP, ExxonMobil  and Chevron are receiving billions in taxpayer subsidies, sitting on thousands of unused drilling leases and raking in enormous profits. But Big Oil wants more – specifically, a green light for harmful drilling that could wreck the crucial habitat sea turtles, walrus, whales, sea otters and other wildlife need to survive.   Speak out for wildlife. Urge your representative to oppose drill-at-any-cost legislation that threatens some of our most fragile and precious coastal areas. Just one year after the tragic BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster that killed 11 people and thousands of animals, Congressman Doc Hastings has introduced three – that’s right, three – separate bills  (H. R. 1229, H.R. 1230 and H.R. 1231)  aimed at giving the oil and gas companies exactly what they want. The Hastings bills would… Force harmful new drilling in key wildlife habitat. H.R. 1231 would expose thousands miles miles of vital coastal habitat and communities to dirty and dangerous offshore oil production. It would put at risk the entire Atlantic Coast (a place that is vital for sea turtles, dolphins and other wildlife), the Southern California Coast (home to sea otters) and Alaska’s Bristol Bay (a key area for walrus and North Pacific right whales). Sidestep important safety and environmental considerations. H. R. 1229 would give federal officials just 60 days to consider new permits for drilling, affording experts far too little time to adequately evaluate the safety and environmental implications of drilling. Ignore the lessons learned from the Deepwater Horizon tragedy. H.R. 1230 reopens lease sales that were cancelled in the Gulf of Mexico and off the coast of Virginia following the disaster. The bill also deems pre-Deepwater Horizon environmental reviews – the product of a process found to be inadequate by both the National Oil Spill Commission and the Council on Environmental Quality – to be adequate and requires the administration to rely on these outdated, inadequate documents.  Tell your representative “enough is enough!” No more handouts to Big Oil. The Hastings plan might increase stock prices for Big Oil, but it does nothing to address the “systemic” problems in the oil industry identified by the bi-partisan National Oil Spill Commission.  And it does nothing to help restore the Gulf of Mexico, or hold oil companies more accountable for the environmental and economic devastation caused by massive oil spills like the Deepwater Horizon. Instead, the Hastings plan focuses on fast-tracking risky and dirty production, bypassing environmental reviews and expanding areas that will be exposed to the dangers of oil development. The cost to wildlife could be considerable.  The bills would increase seismic testing, an activity that is incredibly disruptive to whales and other marine wildlife. Increased drilling also risks another spill, which could have devastating consequences for sea turtles, whales, sea otters, walrus and other already-imperiled animals. It’s time to stand up to Big Oil and demand that Congress do the same.  Please take action now. With Gratitude, Richard Charter Senior Policy Advisor for Marine Programs Defenders of Wildlife P.S. Will you help us send 50,000 messages to Congress by Wednesday? If just one person from  Dhaka will take action today, we can meet our goal and make a big splash on Capitol Hill.

URGENT MS Tunica Humane Society Needs Foster Homes

Posted by  Animal News & Info to Animal News & Info

MS (Tunica) - URGENT: Tunica Humane Society Needs Foster Homes because of flooding

Sandy Williams with the Tunica Humane Society has been overwhelmed with the needs of the families who are having to evacuate from the Tunica Cut Off as they need somewhere safe for their fur babies to stay. Some of these families are her very own volunteers. One family left their five Australian Shepherds which Sandy says are beautiful. One lady left 16 cats and then there were two more.

Can anyone help to foster these dogs or cats until their owners return?

The Tunica Humane Society is already bursting at the seams with their own dogs and this has created an urgent need due to lack of space.

If you can help, please contact Sandy at swrealty1 @ hotmail. com  (remove spaces) or call her at 662-519-1700.

I have also asked Sandy to contact Matthew Pepper who is working with ASPCA and EMA to assist families in this area who are having to evacuate due to the flooding.

Thank you for your assistance.

Jan Courtney

Subject: Cat Rescue

I have 18 cats I need to put with a cat rescue. Any ideas??? There are still so many cats left out at the river and now they have closed off the levee road so I am just praying they make it thru the flooding. I can't bear to think about those dogs and cats that are still out there. It is so sad.

Thanks,
Sandy"
