Breaking; 16 red wolves stand a chance: to get wildlife crossings
There¡¯s a beautiful red wolf at the end of the short video. Thank you for helping us secure a future for red wolves. We did it. In just a few fast-paced months, the Center and our partners raised $2 million in matching funds for a total of $4 million to build wildlife crossings in red wolves' only remaining wild home in North Carolina. Now that the initial phase of the campaign is over, there is still so much work to be done. To see this through and ensure the end game is successful on behalf of red wolves, please consider passing this along to your circles, or people who can help support the next critical phase of this work. These funds were essential to winning a $25 million federal grant that was just announced by the Federal Highway Administration. This is a historic and massive investment in lifesaving wildlife crossings for red wolves. And it couldn't have happened without you. Please watch the thank you video below to hear directly from scientist Will Harlan, the Center's Southeast director, about just how game-changing this news is for a species on the brink. Thank you again for making this extraordinary moment possible. Please follow the campaign's progress and stay involved in the Center's work to save red wolves in the wild on the Center's SaveRedWolves.org website.

Stop the killing of bears and wolves near two Alaska national parks
The state of Alaska wants to kill its iconic wildlife from helicopters. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game is once again taking aim at wolves, brown bears, and black bears ¡ª this time in a misguided attempt to boost moose populations. Its latest plan, Proposal 75, would let the department shoot and kill up to 80% of these iconic animals from roaring helicopters right on the borders of Denali and Lake Clark national parks. We¡¯ve seen this horror play out before. In 2023 and 2024, the department used aerial gunning to kill hundreds of bears and wolves in southwest Alaska despite widespread objections from scientists and the public who value these ecologically important carnivores. If the proposal is adopted, it will expand these aerial massacres to the doorsteps of two crown jewels of the national park system. Besides being dangerous and cruel, mass slaughters of keystone predators are detrimental to the greater Denali and Lake Clark ecosystems. Tell Alaska to reject Proposal 75 and take bears and wolves out of the crosshairs.

Bird flu cat warning from raw milk:
---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Berkeley Animal Hospital <system@...> Date: Thu, Dec 19, 2024 at 8:58 PM Subject: Documentation from Berkeley Animal Hospital To: <judithrachelleg@...> H5 Bird Flu Detected in Domestic Cats After Consuming Recalled Raw Milk California Department of Public Health The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) advises veterinarians to consider avian influenza virus in cats that present with neurologic signs following consumption of raw milk. Since August 2024, highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) virus has been detected in over 500 California dairies, with high viral loads present in the milk. USDA- APHIS has reported H5N1 infection in numerous carnivores, including domestic cats after contact with infected birds or consumption of contaminated milk. H5N1 infection in cats has resulted in severe, often fatal neurologic disease. On December 12, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health reported detection of H5 in two domestic cats that died after consuming retail raw milk from a lot that was recalled after products were found to be contaminated with H5 virus. CDPH public health veterinarians encourage veterinary practitioners to: ? Discourage clients from feeding raw (unpasteurized) milk and other raw foods to ? Consider H5 infection in any cat that consumed raw milk or wild birds, especially if it presents with neurologic signs such as seizures, acute ataxia, nystagmus, or cortical blindness. ? Pursue influenza A testing through your usual commercial veterinary diagnostic laboratory. Flu A testing may also be available through some public health laboratories; contact your local public health department regarding any pets who become il following consumption of raw milk. Review CDC guidelines for safe practices while handling cats possibly infected with H5N1, including wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) such as N95 respirator, goggles or face shield, gloves, and gowns.

Glad tidings for hellbenders, 14 other species
This great organization advocates for wildlife and promotes a vegan diet for their sake as well as the environment. Endangered Earth: Take action and get your weekly wildlife update. No. 1276, December 19, 2024 15 Wins, From Hellbenders to Cuckoo Bumblebees This month the Center for Biological Diversity has won new protections or proposals for 15 species (counting the monarchs and giraffes we¡¯ve already told you about). Those successes include proposed Endangered Species Act protection for marvelous hellbenders, the giant eastern salamanders we¡¯ve been working for since 2010. ¡°I burst into happy tears when I heard,¡± said the Center¡¯s Tierra Curry, who also says she has ¡°the warm fuzzies for these cold slimies.¡± Three Brazilian butterflies, a New Mexico chipmunk, and a New Mexico flower received final protection; in the Caribbean, pillar corals got increased safeguards. Newly proposed for protection along with hellbenders ¡ª so, not over the finish line yet ¡ª were four skink species in the Caribbean, parasitical Suckley¡¯s cuckoo bumblebees, and Pecos pupfish in the Permian Basin. Take action to protect habitat for other species in the Permian Basin ecosystem. Danger: Oil Lease Sale Could Desecrate the Arctic An auction will be held early next month that could desecrate the pristine wilderness of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge with oil wells ¡ª potentially doing serious harm to polar bears, caribou, Arctic foxes, and the many other animals who live there. The last time an auction like this was held, just days before Trump left office in 2021, the refuge was sold off for only $25 an acre. The Center will fight all attempts to allow oil activity in this precious place ¡ª as we have for decades. You can help with a gift to the Alaska and Arctic Defense Fund. Thanks to a generous champion of the Arctic, your gift will be matched. West Coast Whale Entanglements at Six-Year High NOAA Fisheries released preliminary data showing that, off the U.S. West Coast in 2024, fishing gear has entangled 34 whales, mostly humpbacks ¡ª more whales than in any other year since 2018. Right after the data was released, whale watchers spotted another entangled humpback near Orange County, California. ¡°It¡¯s completely unacceptable that so many whales are still becoming entangled after a decade of attention to this awful problem,¡± said Center attorney Catherine Kilduff. ¡°Pop-up fishing gear is a win-win solution, and agencies should authorize its use immediately. Whales trying to survive while wrapped up in fishing rope face an absolutely brutal challenge, and entanglements can cause fin amputations, wounds, and painfully slow deaths.¡± Tell NOAA Fisheries to support the widespread adoption of whale-safe fishing gear. What¡¯s Next for Colorado¡¯s Wolves On Dec. 10, 2023 wolves were released into the Colorado wild as the start of a voter-approved reintroduction of gray wolves to the state. For wolf-lovers it was an emotional, historic day. A year later the majority of these wolves are thriving, and the state is preparing for more releases in early 2025. To support the success of the upcoming releases, state wildlife officials have developed an expanded plan to minimize conflict with livestock. The improvements include more program staff, faster response to livestock deaths, and a robust range rider program. And the Center and our allies continue to push back against industry bullies trying to undermine the will of voters. We¡¯re looking forward to the next phase of reintroducing wolves to the Colorado wilderness where they belong. Mexico Urged to Protect Chocolate Chip Sea Cucumbers The Center just petitioned Mexico to protect chocolate chip sea cucumbers, amazing marine invertebrates who look like they¡¯re made out of cookie dough. New science shows they¡¯ve suffered a 90% population decline in under two decades, mostly due to illegal fishing and exploitation. ¡°Mexico urgently needs to crack down on illegal fishing and promote habitat restoration to prevent the total collapse of this sea cucumber population,¡± said Center biologist Alejandro Olivera.

Your Help is Needed to Save Lobsters!
---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Fish Feel <info@...> Date: Thu, Dec 12, 2024 at 7:00 AM Subject: Your Help is Needed to Save Lobsters! To: Judith <JudithRachelleG@...> View this email in your browser Fish Feel is participating with In Defense of Animals (IDA)'s Interfaith Vegan Coalition to encourage religious institutions to stop holding lobster boil fundraisers. In particular, St. Thomas Episcopal Church, in Alabama, boils thousands of lobsters to death during its annual Lobsterfest. The Coalition has contacted officials at St. Thomas, and IDA has posted a petition urging the church to instead opt for humane alternatives. Please sign the petition! The page includes information explaining how egregiously cruel it is to plunge live lobsters into boiling water (e.g., they cannot go into shock, so they suffer every agonizing second they are cooked). Please also share the petition and encourage others to sign it, too. Religious institutions should promote compassion not cruelty! Thank you very much for putting your concern into compassionate action.

Oh, no! Judge halts Pt. Reyes fence removal in Point Reyes
Please contact the NPS and the media and your Congressperson! I¡¯ll see if I can get Dan Noyes, the investigative TV local news reporter I got to break the story several years ago, to do another. It led to more local and even national media coverage. Before that, almost none of the general public knew of the great tragedy going on there all these years. How many more elk are going to suffer and die? The ranchers and cattle should have never been there! They were paid to leave when the park was established in 1962x and never left! The water quality in Tomales Bay is some of the worst in the US from cow poop. I used to swim in it. The native plants have been decimated by them. Private businesses and cows don¡¯t belong in pit national park! You can see the good short films on Pt. Reyes elk on You Tube.
