The US Army Corp of Engineers has contracted with Wildlife Services, the “notorious” and secretive government agency, to slaughter nearly 11,000 double-crested cormorants and destroy more than 26,000 double-crested cormorant nests on East Sand Island on the mouth of the Columbia River on the border of Washington and Oregon. The killing has already started.
The cormorants are being scapegoated and killed for doing what comes natural, eating salmon. However the reality is that the vast majority of salmon are being killed by human activities including hydroelectric dams on the Columbia River, overfishing, and clearcut logging that pollutes the river.
In two weeks we will send this petition to every US Senator and ask them to take action and stop the US Army Corp of Engineers killing the cormorants and focus on the real cause of the salmon population decline.

Three great stories, all with very happy endings, which shows the excellent work of Animal Aid Unlimited in India. Although hard to watch at first, all have great endings. Enjoy
A severely injured puppy had gone to a temple to find shelter. We found him covered in blood and in critical condition.
Watch his amazing recovery!
Watch the amazing recovery of a street dog gravely injured from a brutal injury on her head.
An elderly street dog had been stuck in a sewage gutter and was also badly injured.
We are sure you will agree; some brilliant work to help animals which are more than in need – desperate !
Thank you.

Dear Mark,
This is truly messed up. Turtle Island just obtained secret, graphic photos of dolphins, sharks and sea turtles and other animals killed by the California driftnet fishery. These disturbing images are heartbreaking. But seeing them has motivated me to fight even harder to shut down the catastrophic California driftnet fishery for swordfish. We’ve got a chance right now to shut this fishery down and that’s why I need your help!
Turtle Island has obtained dozens of photos of the true cost of this fishery: hundreds of dead wild dolphins, whales, sharks, sea turtles and more
More than 885 wild dolphins and whales in the last decade died through drowning and injury in the fishery
Driftnet gear is so destructive that it is banned by the United Nations in international ocean waters
California taxpayers are paying up to $2.7 million per year to prop up this fishery
More sustainable alternative fishing methods exist, and will cut bycatch by 80%
Todd Steiner,
Director – Turtle Island Restoration Network


SAV – We have just donated to help the campaign on this issue
– Will You ?
