This Might Be The Loneliest Lab Monkey In The World
Lab monkeys at a primate facility in Florida often huddle together for comfort between invasive procedures. But at least one monkey has enjoyed no such companionship.
Loretta, the target of bullying among the panicked monkeys, appeared to be the loneliest of the whole dejected group, according to eyewitnesses. She lost most of her hair because she was so stressed — and she had no one to turn to.
Sea Shepherd Receives Warning of Threats Against Cove Guardian Volunteers in Taiji, Japan
October 28, 2015
Sea Shepherd has notified local police of threats and potential violence from Japanese nationalists opposed to Sea Shepherd’s work to document and expose the brutal capture and slaughter of cetaceans in Taiji’s cove
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has received a warning of threats from Japanese nationalists opposed to Sea Shepherd’s Dolphin Defense Campaign Operation Henkaku and the presence of the organization’s volunteer Cove Guardians in Taiji, Japan.
Sea Shepherd has notified local police of threats received from a credible source that more than 100 individuals plan to be present in Taiji from Oct. 31 through Nov. 1 to hold a rally to promote Japan’s hunting of dolphins and whales and attend Taiji town’s annual Whale Festival. The nationalists plan to oppose Sea Shepherd and the work of its Cove Guardians to monitor, document and expose the brutal capture and slaughter of dolphins and other small cetaceans in Taiji’s infamous killing cove. Their plans have been published online in Japanese here.
Sea Shepherd has received warning that supporters of the hunt are attempting to outnumber and intimidate the Cove Guardians, and are purposefully staying in close proximity to where Sea Shepherd’s volunteers are staying in order to harass them. Sea Shepherd is taking this threat against its crew seriously and considers there to be a potential for violence from supporters of the dolphin drive hunt.
“Sea Shepherd will not be intimidated by threats from those who oppose our efforts to protect marine wildlife and we have never been deterred from our mission. However, we are taking this threat seriously. We have notified the appropriate authorities and are taking the necessary steps to protect our volunteers,” said Sea Shepherd Campaign Coordinator, David Hance. “In our history spanning nearly 40 years, Sea Shepherd’s non-violent crew has never caused harm to anyone. It is our opponents who kill marine wildlife and plunder the oceans – and the supporters of this mindless and cruel destruction – who have repeatedly shown violence and disregard for life, both human and non-human.”
Sea Shepherd will maintain its presence in Taiji for the remainder of the six-month hunt season, which spans from Sept. until March. Throughout the season, volunteers from around the world are set to join Sea Shepherd on the ground as Cove Guardians.
Along with monitoring and live streaming of the drive hunt, captures and slaughters, Sea Shepherd’s 2015-2016 Operation Henkaku campaign, the organization’s sixth consecutive season of its Taiji Dolphin Defense Campaign, features an increased focus on raising awareness of the inextricable link between the slaughter of dolphins in Taiji and the international captive cetacean industry. Sea Shepherd believes that the drive hunt could not be sustained by the sale of dolphin meat for human consumption, as demand for dolphin and whale meat has sunk to an all-time low. One slaughtered dolphin produces approximately $600 USD worth of meat – but one trained captive dolphin can be sold by the hunters for as much as $250,000 USD.
For six months of each year, from Sept. 1 until March, entire family units, or pods, of dolphins and small whales are driven into the cove. Banger poles are struck against the side of the hunting boats to create a “wall of sound,” disorienting the sound-sensitive marine mammals and making it nearly impossible for them to escape the drive. The members of these frightened pods will face either a lifetime of imprisonment in captivity or brutal slaughter before the eyes of their families. Killers and trainers work side-by-side to select the “prettiest” dolphins and whales for captivity, those without visible scars. The others are mercilessly stabbed with a metal spike inserted into their backs, just behind the blowhole, to sever their spine. The dolphins slowly and painfully bleed to death or drown in the blood of their family members – others may die slowly as they are tethered and dragged to the butcherhouse, where the once-living and free cetaceans are butchered and processed into meat. These inhumane killings are a blemish upon Japan, whose government refuses to sign on to many protection efforts and regulations for marine mammals, despite most of the world recognizing the need to protect these highly intelligent, self-aware and beloved animals.

Please go to this site and sign. Next week is the start of the Florida black bear hunt. Since the State of Florida does not care what the public thinks, a majority of the state is against this.However it has been decided by politicians that the hunt should be allowed to start for no reason that can be justified by any means. It is the hope that it will make it to the president before the hunt starts. I am hopeful that if he sees this, he would stop the hunt until the reasons for it would be made clear enough for a justification. (I feel there is not going to ever be a justification for the murder of any animal. Especially when their habitat has been destroyed for more houses to be built.There is no reason to build new houses when a big chunk of the current ones are not occupied.) Please sign and share

I am not typically one to point out and discredit other groups that fight for the same beliefs as I have. However, this will not be acceptable. WWF has not only worked with the number one GMO organization that has helped cause a huge amount of health issues and birth defects. They have also worked with Sea World as well. This was to help find a smarter way of fishing, in order to reduce by catch. As far as I am concerned the only way to reduce by catch is .... to not fish in the first place. please also check out the below article. I will also post a really good video I found about WWF and the wrong they are doing. http://www.newsmax.com/t/newsmax/article/459740

Pilot Whale Slaughter In Faroe Islands, Demo to End the Grind

This is how the Faroese Police deal with nonviolent conservationists. It really just shows how the violence there knows no bounds. It is hard to belive that a place this beautiful can act this ugly. Thank you to the individuals that constantly go the extra mile to save our Marine life and our oceans. The following Sea Shepherd volunteers have been arrested in the Faroe Islands: Lawrie Thomson - United Kingdom Rudy de Kieviet - Netherlands Tobias Boehm - Germany Alice Bodin - Italy Frances Holtman - United States "These comments are my own and are in no way reflective of how captain Watson or anyone else within Sea Shepherd feel about the Faroes or these events" Photos taken fron the Facebook profile for Captain Paul Watson
