Howling For Wolves

2 Wisconsin farmers charged with baiting, killing predators to improve hunting of deer and penned grouse, pheasants. Setting bait piles poisoned with highly toxic pesticides, the men killed over 70 animals, including eagles, a turkey vulture, coyotes, bobcat, ermine, crows, songbirds, squirrels, skunks and other animals. No evidence of wolves being killed was found, though they were targeted. Alvin Sowinski and Paul Sowinsky own a 8 thousand acre potato farm that has been a major supplier to the potato chip industry for decades.

U.S. Attorney's office says that while poisoning of wildlife is known to occur throughout the state, successful prosecution is rare. Cheers to the authorities on this case -sentencing is in May.

We're looking for a few awesome student activists who want to spend the summer taking on the fossil fuel industry, gaining hands-on organizing experience, and connecting with grassroots climate leaders. Does that sound like you or someone you know? Pass it on: http://gofossilfree.org/fossil-free-summer-fellows/

(It's paid too! But U.S. only, sorry.)

As you may know, since 1961 the United States of America has had no diplomatic relations with Cuba and restricts trade and travel with Cuba for the vast majority of American citizens and American businesses. Do you support or oppose normalizing U.S. relations with Cuba? Weigh in here: http://www.sanders.senate.gov/polls/cuba

Does this make any sense? Tennessee Republicans, who lured Volkswagen factories and jobs with tax incentives, are threatening to END future tax breaks if workers vote to Unionize and join the United Auto Workers (UAW)!

BREAKING NEWS: Just weeks after they were forced to halt the extermination of two whole wolf packs in a protected wilderness area, state officials in Idaho are once again showing their true colors by announcing a plan to kill 60% of the wolves in the same area. http://ow.ly/tzuH8

Idaho's predator "management" plan calls for an aggressive program of wolf killing in the Middle Fork area of the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness - one of the most pristine forested are...as in the US. Idaho's goal is to inflate elk numbers so that commercial outfitters and hunters can kill more elk for sport.

Our attorneys are already moving to take immediate legal action. We intend to do everything we can in court to stop them in their tracks - we'll keep everyone updated on the progress!
