Most other members of my species, presumably cut from the same mold, seem not to be concerned over the institutionalized killing of animals for "food." Yet, the mere thought of the fear and agony experienced by the "farmed" animals who are killed for no reason other than the greedy desire for the taste of their flesh breaks my heart... My heart must be defective. |

Antelope Overview

Friday, 23 February 2007 |
|
To survive, antelopes rely on their ability to spot danger and to make a rapid escape. This defense system enables them to evade most wildlife predators, but it offers only partial protection from human hunters interested in antelope hide, horn, or meat, and no protection at all from changes to their habitat. |

Friday, 23 February 2007 |

Yes; but all animals condemned to live,
All sentient things, born by the same stern law,
Suffer like me, and like me also die.

Wolves Community On January 31, 2005, gray wolf conservation won a victory when a federal district court ruled that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service violated the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) when it reduced protections for gray wolves across most of the lower-48 United States.
The court's decision ensures the highest level of federal protection for wolves and requires that the government continue its efforts to recover the species throughout its historic range.
