A few photos which I personally took over various trips I have made to the USA in different years. You can click on any of the images to see a larger version if you wish.
Places like these should never be handed over by Trump and co. to organisations who see them only for physical change and quick money making above anything else.
Please look long and hard at the photos – I see them for the natural beauty that they have which is presented to me – homes to wolves, coyotes and so many other plants and animals that deserve our help and protection.
The USA must welcome visitors to such places and the beauty that they hold, and not let a few madmen destroy these places forever in order to make a quick buck. The good folk of America need to make a stand against these proposed actions; for once it is gone, it can never be replaced.

Latest ‘fur news’ from Mark and the crew at ‘Respect for Animals’, Nottingham, England.
———————————————————–
Probably unlikely, but we are taking measures in advance:
This year nearly 80,000 seal pups, less than 3 months old, were brutally clubbed or shot for their fur. Worryingly in the UK, there is a risk that seal product imports could resume once we leave the EU.
Respect for Animals is asking the government to guarantee that this import ban will remain in force.
Top academics and campaigners from around the world are descending on Oxford from 23-26 July to discuss the ethics of the fur trade.
Sponsored by the Respect for Animals Educational trust, it will result in a new up to date and authoritative report intended to transform the debate around wearing fur.
Germany’s last fur farm will close down with a new Bill enforcing stricter regulations and effectively make fur farming of mink non-viable for farmers.
Fantastisch!
Thank you Germany.
Fur Farming In Europe
The fur farming ban has been effective in the UK for over 15 years now.
We were proud to have led that campaign and many of you helped make it possible. today, we use our experience and campaigning record to support campaigns in countries around the world where similar bans are being proposed and who look to the UK as an example to be followed.
It takes up to 40 dumb animals to make a fur coat
– BUT ONLY ONE TO WEAR IT !
Fur is for animals.
Thank you for your support.

This is translation of Korea Animal Rights Advocates (KARA)’s post. In an era when 10 million dogs are considered companion animals, more than one million are being slaughtered every year at 3,000 of the “world’s only meat dog farms.”
It would not be an exaggeration to call these meat dog farms “companion animal slaughterhouses.” These statistics, however, may be low and the breeding environment and slaughtering process of dogs is unregulated.
While dog meat consumption still exists in countries like China and Vietnam, South Korea is the only country with farms that breed dogs continually, and where large farms housing more than 1,000 dogs are in operation for the purpose of human consumption.
These animals are confined their entire lives to tiny steel raised wire cages before they are slaughtered and eaten. To gain an understanding of the meat dog farms that operate in the darkness of no governmental regulation, Representative Lee Jeong-Mi of the Justice Party and animal rights group Korea Animal Rights Advocates (KARA; Im Soon-Lye, director) requested data from the Ministry of Environment on dog farms that are required to submit reports for the livestock manure treatment facility and conducted analysis.
Based on this data, KARA conducted field investigations in sample areas including Gyeonggi-do Gimpo and Yeoju, Gangwon-do Wonju, Gyeongsangbuk-do Gimcheon for 10 months beginning August 2016 and inspected the state of the breeding conditions and livestock manure treatment status of these dog farms.
As a result, it was confirmed that there are at least 2,862 dog farms in South Korea that are over 60 square meters and therefore are required to file livestock manure treatment facility reports. At least 781,740 dogs were being bred on these dog farms, with an average of 273 dogs per farm.
NEW PETITION – Please sign! Shut down the “Hell on Earth” illegal dog farm in Yangsan Sangbuk-myeon Gongwon-ro! .
Busan Korea Alliance for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (KAPCA) investigated a dog farm located in Yangsan and reported them for violations to the local authority.
They described it as “worst they have ever seen” and they have seen many dog farms. Right now they need your help to put more pressure on their government to take action to close down this illegal dog farm.
This is a long story. I plan to work on the translation. For now I need all of you to file petition with the Korean government through e-people: http://koreandogs.org/e-people/
