Protect Wild Bison

After watching this video from the heart, I hope others here will want to help protect the wild buffalo in the American West. It never ceases to amaze and disgust me how selfish human beings are when it comes to sharing the world's habitat with other species.

There is a dirty little secret in Vietnam, and it's called Korean Bear Tourism.

ENV, a wildlife watchdog group in Vietnam, has documented busloads of Korean tourists visiting bear farms where they witness a bear bile extraction, taste bear bile wine, and buy products made from bear body parts. T… Continue

We Need a Miracle


Art by Lupe Fiacre

ATTENTION ALL ANIMAL ARTISTS: Without you the media won't tell the story of Miracle. She needs a face, an identity. Her story awes and amazes. Read on ...

Miracle was born on a bear bile breeding farm in the spring of 2006. The farm is run by Mr. anContinue

A life of these dreams

Microchip project enables new life for farmed bear

hi,
good question about the dancing bear problem. I dont know the news. I guess I should check. I havent been online much lately.
WSPA.org should have news that we can rely on.
hope you are well and that your group is doing well too.
At 2:11pm on April 25, 2009, Athena89 said…
oh, WSPA also is fighting the dancing bear issues... check out both sites... they do a lot of great work
At 2:10pm on April 25, 2009, Athena89 said…
hey! Glad you got the code. I only noticed that when I replied to another email that had a pic in it... and saw the code there, so it was luck! haha!

Do you ever support or visit the WSPA site? They have an international site as well.
http://www.wspa-usa.org/
and
http://www.wspa-international.org/

they work on the bear bile issue a lot, in fact that is where I found out about it years ago.

They also did an action for the US bear problem for bile. Another org did too, I will try to remember which one. ANyway, the problem is that bears are being hunted just for selling them to Asia for the bear bile. Its a real problem here now.

I will look at getting those other pics to link to the ning site when I can... maybe now... have to see what is going on...
At 7:30pm on April 23, 2009, Athena89 said…
here is your poster, but it now links to your site, I can give you the code for it...

At 6:53pm on April 23, 2009, Athena89 said…
Great work. Thanks for the invite. Bear Bile farming is one of the issues I try to help with. Now, as you know, bears in the US are being hunted and poached to sell their bile. Its horrible. I do any actions for that through WSPA since not too many org's are dealing with it. I agree,adding a poster or banner on that would be very good, I will see if I can get one from WSPA or just make my own.
So, is your group on here or off site? I have a hard time getting everything I need posted on my group, so I wouldnt have any time to do much on another group here, but if its an offline thing, I would check it out.
What is it like in Costa Rica?
I do the click daily at animalrescuesite too... and all the other tabs/causes on that page. Its set as my homepage so its the first thing I do.
You can get the code for banners for them on the site. I have it saved too if you want to add it to your discussion or page.
Anyway, have a great day!!
