THINK THE JAPANESE SLAUGHTER OF DOLPHINS IS HORRIBLE? WHAT DENMARK IS DOING IS WORSE.

Please share this link.

Denmark has a bloody rite of passage for teens where they slaughter friendly, intelligent and endangered dolphins. It makes what is happening in Japan look mild in comparison. Please check out this link, share it, and take whatever action you can to stop this outrage:

THEY TOLD US AGENT ORANGE WAS SAFE FOR HUMANS

Back in the Vietnam War, we were assured repeatedly that Agent Orange, which destroyed living cells, was perfectly safe for human beings. Decades later, our own soldiers who were exposed to Agent Orange are getting a series of cancers so common that its progression is predictable.

Now Dow and Monsanto want to bring onto our tables corn and soy that have been genetically modified to withstand huge doses of a chemical nearly identical to Agent Orange. They claim it is perfectly safe! Not only is this devastating in terms of the food we ingest (nearly all processed foods have corn or soy in some form or another), but it is also a horrendous thing to unleash on our planet.

Here is a petition to try to get people in power to stop this horrendous assault. Please sign.

WE ARE LOSING OUR HONEYBEES. DOES ANYONE OUT THERE CARE?

Each year beekeepers are losing 30% of their hives. Even though our food crops would be reduced and dismal indeed if we lost all our bees, our government blithely continues to approve pesticides known to kill bees! Worse, stores like Home Depot and Lowe's are using bee-killing pesticides on flowers and vegetable plants that innocent home-owners purchase. Please help to stop this insanity.

FUKUSHIMA: LEAKY TANKS AND ILLEGAL LABOR

The extremely conservative ruling group in Japan has passed a law that is extremely restrictive to journalists. Anyone caught "leaking secrets" faces years of jail. The real truth about what is happening at Fukushima has been hidden from us, and will be even more under wraps. Stay tuned, folks...and if you are so inclined, send your prayers and positive thoughts to Fukushima. The situation there endangers all of us on the planet, not just the Japanese.

MOOSE ARE DYING AT AN ALARMING RATE

Big cats, elephants, wild dogs...now moose. Populations are disappearing, and disappearing fast. Climate change seems to blame. Why do we still allow hunting of these majestic creatures?

To make things sadder, a rare white moose, revered as a spiritual animal by the indigenous people of Nova Scotia and protected by locals, has been shot by a visiting hunter, who had the gall to pose for a photo smirking over the beautiful creature whose life he took.

MASSIVE WHALE STRANDINGS & DEATHS CAUSED BY MANMADE NOISE

Ear-splitting underwater sonar and deafening noise has been found to be the cause of massive whale strandings, where many whales wound up dying. It is horrific to think what we are exposing these creatures to across the globe. As the article suggests, the world needs to come together to DO something to save these creatures from our increasing use of underwater noise. Is it necessary to defend ourselves at the cost of the remaining creatures on the planet?
