SAV Comment – we have not really covered much regarding US issues over the past few months because of a team of Muppets – led by one named Muppet Trump, is doing all that is possible to destroy the natural beauty of the USA. Over the years, I (Mark) have visited the US probably about a dozen times. All the time this Republican and his cronies and climate deniers are at the helm, I can absolutely guarantee that I will never visit again. In the past I respected and admired the USA for its natural beauty. Thanks to this clown now, so much of that is under threat – I cannot even begin to muster any willingness to re visit. The message below from Kieran simply sums up the complete and utter disregard for nature that Trump and his get rich quick crew have for nature and the creatures that depend on protection and decent legislation. We will resume to publish some news and articles from US organisations; but I fear that there will be no good news for the animals. This below is the first, and special to me as I am very much a ‘wolf’ person. Trumpy and Rex don’t really give a toss about protecting wildlife – they talk about MAGA, whilst at the same time discouraging people like me from ever visiting the wildlife of the USA ever again. I wonder how long the USA will remain with its natural beauty when their are people like Trumpy with flashing ‘Dollar eyes’ and a brain that thinks of nothing more. The people and politicians of Europe know what he is about, and now he is licking the ass of those terrible Chinese that were so much at the front of his election campaign. He bleats on about MAGA whilst at the same time, his daughter imports over 50 tonnes of Chinese sweatshop made clothing for her label! – do these people have any standards or are they just dollar blind ? – Time will tell.

Hi Mark,
The most anti-wildlife Congress we’ve ever seen is now taking aim at gray wolves in the Great Lakes region.
A bill to strip Endangered Species Act protections from these wolves — opening them up to more killing — is making its way through the House. We can’t let this happen.
The Center’s Endangered Species Act Protection Fund needs your support today.
Great Lakes wolves have made tremendous progress, growing from fewer than 1,000 wolves in a small corner of northeastern Minnesota to more than 4,000 wolves across Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin.
But their recovery will end if federal protections are removed prematurely. This anti-wolf Congress is considering legislation to reinstate a 2011 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service decision that stripped away Endangered Species Act protection for Great Lakes gray wolves.
In 2014, a federal judge overturned the federal wildlife agency’s decision, noting its scientific and legal flaws. The U.S. Court of Appeals reaffirmed that decision — ending wolf hunts and highlighting how much more is needed before wolves can be considered fully recovered.
But now Trump and his cronies are continuing their war on wolves. States like Wisconsin have already enacted aggressive killing policies aimed at drastically reducing wolf populations by more than half and allowing the cruel practice of using hounds to hunt them.
If the proposed legislation passes, gray wolves will face even more threats.
These wolves deserve to thrive in their natural habitat and to raise their packs free from the threat of hunters and trappers. As their populations grow, we must continue to protect these packs and not allow them to be put back in the crosshairs.
The Center has been working to defend Great Lakes wolves for years, fighting to keep their federal protection and to ban hunting and trapping.
For the wild,
Kierán Suckling

| Dear Mark, |
As I write this, gunmen are trying to kill every
street dog in the entire country of Jordan.
|
Dogs are being hunted down and shot because
the country’s religious leader has declared a
holy war on dogs.
|
Because of this, men armed with automatic
weapons are systematically killing every street
dog they see!
|
Mark, I am saddened beyond words that such
a terrible thing is happening and with your help,
I intend to do something about it. As a first step
my team is making contact with the Jordanian
government asking it to end this horrible cruelty.
|
Jordan’s most senior religious figure, Grand Mufti,
Dr. Mohammad Al-Khalaileh, issued a fatwa
– a religious instruction to Muslims – to kill
the dogs. He quoted Prophet Mohammed to justify
the slaughter.
|
Because a fatwa is binding on Muslims, municipalities
across the country started hiring snipers.
Thousands of dogs have been killed and the
massacre continues every day.
|
Mark, as animal lovers we have no option but
to fight this nightmare by every means possible.
“It is our duty as animal lovers to do whatever
we can to stop this dog genocide. Before there
are no dogs left in Jordan.”
|
Mark, we are so terribly saddened by this and
we urge you and all our supporters to share the
fact that Prophet Mohammad repeatedly forbade
cruelty to animals, saying: “Whoever is kind to
the creatures of God is kind to himself.”
|
My job is to get this message through and to care
for those dogs we can on the ground. We are
already searching for land where we can create
a safe haven for some of the dogs.
|
The most important immediate first steps are
to spread the word about the unspeakable cruelty
and horror that is unfolding.
|
| For the animals |
| Brian Davies, Founder |

TIBET’S HIDDEN PRISONERS
“When the black cloth was taken off my head, I found myself in a big room with […] all sorts of torture devices laid out in front of me. They told me to have a look at these devices and I told myself that I was doomed to being beaten that day” – former prisoner and torture survivor Golog Jigme

Imagine being snatched from the street or even your home. You are loaded into a police car and driven to an unknown location. Your friends, colleagues and family don’t know where you are. Nor do you. It is like you have disappeared from the face of the earth.
You don’t know why you are being held, you don’t know what your captors want from you. They may have something that they want you to confess. They may have decided you have committed a crime.
For scores of Tibetans, this situation is not just some horror film, it is a horrifying reality. Whether they have protested to resist the occupation, written a blog post that the authorities disapproved of, or even just flown their own flag, Tibetans have been taken away, detained without charge, tortured and sentenced to long prison sentences after secret or sham trials.

Enforced disappearances are designed to punish Tibetans who resist or fall foul of the occupation, and to scare other Tibetans away from opposing the occupation or freely expressing their culture. Free Tibet is standing alongside Tibet’s hidden prisoners. We want to find the prisoners that China has tried to hide, shine a light on their cases, and raise pressure for their release.
