"She's looking at me. I'm looking at her. And thinking what am I going to do here. This is a horrific experience. I can't walk away. I can't leave this creature here suffering...It breaks my heart. It breaks my heart that we can take the life of another creature we share this planet with for something as trivial as a $20 fur or vanity. She's not hurting anyone. She's just living her life." -Ontario nurse who found the wolf caught in snare last week.

From The Fur-Bearer Defenders Full interview on found snared last week. This is trapping. This is the carnage inflicted on our wildlife by the trapping/fur industry.

Please LISTEN! Note: Yes, this is a wolf. It is an Algonquin wolf -a sub-species of the gray wolf native to Ontario. Update: the wolf's leg was amputated and it is recovering -see Fur Bearer's page for updates.

DON'T JUST COMPLAIN - If you're tired of the coal, oil, and gas companies getting their way, this is your chance to speak up! The EPA is asking for public comments on their first-ever carbon pollution standards for new power plants in the US, and you need to tell the EPA you support it! >> http://ow.ly/tfvKf

We only have a few months to get in as many comments as we can, and you can bet that the fossil fuel industry will try to oppose any new pollution rules. We need to show them THEY are not in control - the PEOPLE are!

Fair and Balanced and funny as hell!
