Take Action to Protect the World's Oceans

Dear Anne,

Thousands of sea turtles are killed needlessly each year – but we can stop it.

Save our sea turtles.
Donate by March 17.

Newly hatched sea turtles immediately seek the ocean to find safety, shelter, and food.

But today's ocean is full of threats like dangerous fishing equipment and plastic pollution that kill sea turtles by the thousands.

That's why Oceana is fighting for stronger fishing regulations and landmark legislation that will give comprehensive protection to sea turtles from coast to coast. But we can't do it without supporters like you.

Join the fight to protect sea turtles. Help us meet our $40,000 goal by March 17.

The absence of sea turtles is a sign of ocean ecosystems collapsing. Sea turtles spread necessary nutrients from ocean to shore, and help provide food and shelter for other sea creatures.

But today, dangers ranging from climate change to habitat destruction have led every species of sea turtle that swims in U.S. waters to be listed as threatened or endangered with extinction under the Endangered Species Act.

As sea turtle populations continue to be wiped out by preventable threats, a system millions of years old is being thrown out of balance. Entire species of sea turtles could be lost within our lifetime – but we can prevent it.

Will you join us? Donate today to make the oceans safer for threatened sea turtles.

With your support I know we can make sure today's turtles thrive and that future generations are restored to their past abundance.

For the oceans,
Dave Allison
Senior Campaign Director
Oceana

P.S. Please make your secure donation right now to help us reach our $40,000 goal by March 17 and save the lives of sea turtles.

PETA - Universities Should Educate, Not Abuse
Dear Anne,

PETA's campaign to save dogs, cats, and other animals from horrific abuse and gruesome deaths behind closed doors at university laboratories is making huge strides -- but we need the help of every PETA suporter if we are to reach those who are still at risk. Donate Now I wrote to you recently about the University of Utah — and how the school's laboratories purchased stray and homeless cats and dogs (including Rufus, pictured here) from animal shelters for use in deadly experiments. Because of the support of friends like you, the University of Utah has announced that it will no longer use shelter animals in its experiments, marking the end of pound seizure in the state of Utah!

This is a great victory, but our fight is far from over. We recently learned that the University of Michigan's (U-M) Survival Flight course for nurses still torments cats in cruel intubation training exercises and kills pigs. This abuse continues even though U-M already uses state-of-the-art human-patient simulators to teach the same skills in other courses for nurses and physicians. Like the University of Utah, U-M has obtained cats for this laboratory from animal shelters in the past.

Please help us save all animals (no matter the source) from the clutches of animal experimenters and all other animal abusers!

For animals trapped in university laboratories like those at U-M, there is no time to waste. As our investigation at the University of Utah revealed, animals relinquished to universities soon face scalpels, drills, chemicals, and worse:

Dogs sold to the university by the North Utah Valley Animal Shelter had holes cut into their chests and necks and pacemakers attached to their hearts in order to induce irregular heartbeats. The dogs were then killed and dissected.

Cats from animal shelters had holes drilled into their heads in one experiment. They also had hard plastic tubes forced down their delicate throats for archaic intubation training exercises even though the University of Utah — like U-M — has access to modern simulators.

We need to stop this abuse right now. Please make a generous gift today to help PETA expose and stop cruelty to animals wherever it occurs.

Campaigns like this one are urgent — and expensive — efforts. An undercover investigation such as the one that revealed the atrocities that were inflicted on animals at the University of Utah costs tens of thousands of dollars. Now we need urgent funding to help ensure that our campaign at the University of Michigan will result in real change and that PETA can continue all its lifesaving work for animals.

You can be proud of the victory that we just won for shelter animals in Utah. Our success will prevent many homeless dogs and cats from suffering and dying in laboratories — and it is all because of the support of caring individuals like you.

But for every animal we've saved, there are many more who are still suffering. These defenseless dogs, cats, and other animals deserve our full commitment.

Please speak out for them by making a lifesaving gift right now. If people like you and me don't raise our voices in behalf of animals, the cruelty will never end.

Kind regards,

Ingrid E. Newkirk
President

P.S. We need your help today to stop the University of Michigan from tormenting cats and mutilating pigs in its training courses. As we saw at the University of Utah, we can achieve success through the power supporters like you. Please make a special gift to support our work for all animals right now.

Take a Stand Against Roadkill


Deer in the Road


Deadly wildlife-vehicle collisions are on the rise.


Help Prevent Wildlife Roadkill



Urge your governor to declare September 18th-24th as Watch Out for Wildlife Awareness Week.

 

Share on Facebook! Share on Facebook

Dear ,

A car cruises along a winding, tree-lined road. The driver rounds a bend, sees a flash of fur and bright eyes glowing in the headlights. The wheel jerks and the tires screech.

This tragic scenario is becoming all too common on our roads, claiming the lives of millions of animals and hundreds of Americans every year. And the numbers are steadily rising. While the number of all reported crashes has been holding steady, the number of reported wildlife-vehicle collisions has skyrocketed – now representing one out of every 20 reported motor vehicle collisions, and occurring every 26 seconds

Help us reduce these tragedies. Urge your governor to declare the third week of September as Watch Out for Wildlife Awareness Week to raise awareness and educate drivers on how to prevent wildlife-vehicle collisions.

Roads and wildlife-vehicle collisions are bringing several species to the brink of extinction. A national study found 21 federally listed threatened or endangered species in the U.S. whose very survival is threatened by roadkill losses and fragmented habitats due to our nation's roads and highways.

Help prevent Americans and our wildlife from becoming road fatalities. Take action now.


Raising awareness can save lives.

Many drivers are unaware of the risk and cost associated with wildlife-vehicle collisions. By officially declaring Watch Out for Wildlife Awareness Week, your governor will spread the word about these accidents and help educate drivers to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions.

Raising awareness can also save money.

Wildlife-vehicle collisions come with a hefty price tag. The average cost per accident is $6,100, and the annual cost to society is estimated at a whopping $8.4 billion! Reducing the number of wildlife-vehicle collisions on our roadways will save billions of taxpayer dollars while making our nation's roadways safer.

Will you help prevent wildlife vehicle-collisions to save lives, save money and protect our wildlife? Please send a message to your governor right now.

Your governor needs to hear from you. Taking just 30 seconds right now could help save a life – maybe even your own. We want to keep our wildlife and our Defenders of Wildlife around for many years to come!  Please take action now.
