POPSJapan once again to defy international whaling embardo This year Japan plans to kill humpbacks for first time in decades. In reacent years Japan has increased its whaling activity rapidly. It is only matter of time other nations will follow. This is just a one aspect of destroying oceanic life. Excess fishing is a large global problem and whaling is nothing but commercial activity for rich Japanese. Amount of people is increasing all the time and we should sustain our food storages instead of destroying them. Mayby Japan should start farming the sea instead killing wild animals or something...

POPSAmazing Smart Animals Some of these animals knew exactly what they were doing, but I bet they didn't know they were being watched.

POPSSome examples of 41400 Threatened species (IUCN red list) The list is growing every year! This year (2007) it's 41400 different species of animals and plants. The IUCN claims extinction will threat 1/4 of mammals, 1/8 of birds and even 70% of plants. Most of the species are endangered because of human activity. For example banggain's cardinal fishes are being captured 900 000 per year for aquaruims.

POPSVultures in Europe 'attacking humans for the first time' For centuries, the Pyrenean farmers of Spain lived in symbiotic harmony with Gyps fulvus, the magnificent griffon vulture. Wheeling over their flocks and fields, the birds were seen as neither a threat nor even a nuisance, but as a vital part of the ecosystem. For when farmers had to dispose of an animal carcass, they simply took it to one of the hundreds of "maladares", carcass dumps, scattered across the mountains. There, the vultures would gather to do their work. It was a system that benefited both man and bird. But, prompted largely by the BSE crisis in the late Nineties, the eurocrats of Brussels decided to ban this age-old system. This has caused a crisis for the vultures, which are flying to new areas in search of food. So far, they have got as far as northern mainland Europe - indeed, as far as Finland. It is unlikely they will come here, says Grahame Madge, as they hate flying over large bodies of water.

POPSFur for Fashion is Inhumane I've always thought that fur was a tacky clothing accessory. Needless to say I was disgusted when I learned how many animals it required to make a fur coat. There is more information at the site infurmation.com, including some information about dog and cat fur. Do these poor animals a favor. Wear your own skin--not theirs.
