POPSStressed Elephants Make Crucial Statement "The elephants of decimated herds, especially orphans who’ve watched the death of their parents and elders from poaching and culling, exhibit behavior typically associated with post-traumatic stress disorder and other trauma-related disorders in humans: abnormal startle response, unpredictable asocial behavior, inattentive mothering and hyperaggression." This 10-page article is well worth your time and attention!

POPSElephant orphanage (profiled on 60 Minutes) This place was profiled on the episode of 60 Minutes that aired tonight. They bring in young elephants orphaned by poachers, socialize them, bring them up, and release them into the wild. An important job in East Africa, I guess.

POPSStop Cat Poaching Now! A Cause We Can All Support! Okay, so I think this will be my least controversial clip ever. I believe that the time has come to stop shooting other people's pet cats. You may call me closed minded. You may call me a radical. But is say there is right and wrong, and if you shoot other people's cats and then make clothes out of them, then you are wrong. Further more, from now on, I promise to boycott all Swiss garments made from cat fur, and I hope you all do the same! By the way, I'm dying to know the link between this and traditional Chinese medicine! Are they sure they didn't mean Cantonese cooking?

POPSSea Shepherd's Non-Toxic, Organic, Non-Violent Response to Whale Killers
Yet these same whalers are violating international conservation law and an Australian Federal Court order by illegally slaughtering endangered whales in an established whale sanctuary. The Sea Shepherd crew did not shoot any of these poachers like the rangers in Africa would when they encounter elephant killers in the bush. No, we tossed rotten butter and fake banana peels onto their deck to discourage their illegal operations. The material tossed onto the deck of the Nisshin Maru was both organic and non-toxic. The Japanese whalers are spinning the story describing butter acid as caustic and harmful when it is completely harmless. Not all acids are harmful; if they were we would not drink orange juice and some just smell bad. It is a fact that butter becomes Butyric acid when it goes bad. That does not make it toxic, just obnoxiously smelly. The objective in tossing a foul smelling substance onto the deck of the largest floating slaughterhouse in the world is simple - to d

POPSPreacher Says Shark Poaching "Was God's Will" Federal officials say Thompson ran a poaching gang that may have removed as many as 10,000 baby leopard sharks from San Francisco Bay. At a press conference at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Monday, Lisa Nichols of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said the poachers caught hundreds of sharks a day during the breeding season. The ring began to fall apart in 2003, when a smuggling expert with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration saw a baby leopard shark that was for sale on a Web site and started asking questions. Towards the end, according to investigators, some of these poachers asked their preacher whether they were doing the right thing. He responded, allegedly, that the poaching was God's will.
