---------- Forwarded message --------- From: pat Cuviello <pcuvie@...> Date: Sun, May 4, 2025 at 8:55 PM Subject: Rowell Ranch Rodeo Protests To: Please join us in educating Rodeo patrons that animal abuse is not acceptable and should not be considered entertainment. The foundation of Rodeo “entertainment” is causing animals fear and pain and making sport of their desire to escape. The only reason bulls and horses violently buck and kick is because of the pain caused by the bucking strap. A ban on bucking straps would kill the rodeo as bucking horses and bulls are the main rodeo events. Other cruel events include calf-roping and “steer wrestling.” Please stand with us against this cruelty. GOOD NEWS- The absurd and cruel “Wild Cow Milking” event will not be held at this rodeo anymore as it was banned by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors. RODEO PROTESTS WHERE: Rowell Ranch Rodeo Park, 9725 Dublin Canyon Rd, Castro Valley, CA-Front entrance WHEN: May 16 Bull Riding Event: 5:30p at Rowell Ranch Rodeo Park. May 17- Rodeo: 1:30p noon at Rowell Ranch Rodeo Park. May 18- Rodeo: 12 noon at Rowell Ranch Rodeo Park. Leaflets and signs will be provided.

Help defend critical protections for vulnerable species and forests A Study Shows Bird Population Declines, But Bright Spots Can Guide Conservation Action A new study from researchers with ABC, Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and other partners published in Science shows that North American bird species are declining in the areas where they should be faring well. Analysis at the finest scale attempted for research of this kind shows that although 83 percent of species are declining where they’re most abundant, nearly all are increasing in other areas. These areas where populations are increasing may help researchers identify what conservation strategies are working and apply them elsewhere. LEARN MORE Landmark Migratory Bird Law Weakened by Legal Opinion One of the oldest environmental laws in the United States, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act has protected millions — if not billions — of birds since it was signed in 1918. A recent legal opinion from the Department of the Interior has redefined how the MBTA is applied in industrial settings, undermining a key provision of the Act that has driven companies to adopt better practices to protect birds. The opinion rolls back that progress and puts birds at risk. READ MORE Defend Critical Protections for Vulnerable Species and Forests The ancient old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest are critical habitat for the Northern Spotted Owl and Marbled Murrelet, both listed under the Endangered Species Act. It’s thanks to environmental policies protecting federally managed lands that these species have a fighting chance. Now, those habitats and the species they host are under threat. The Fix Our Forests Act being considered in the U.S. Congress would weaken protections for national forests, opening the door to large-scale logging. The problem is deeper in the Northwest, where stewardship plans are under revision and vulnerable to changes that could undermine restoration efforts. Urgent action is needed to defend the forests of the Pacific Northwest, and national forests across the U.S. Birds need your voice: Contact your representatives today. TAKE ACTION Already signed?

David McGuire started this organization out of Earth Island in Berkeley. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: David McGuire, Shark Stewards <info@...> Date: Tue, May 6, 2025 at 7:59 PM Subject: Defend the Endangered Species Act To: Ocean Friend Act now to protect the Endangered Species Act and Marine Monuments View this email in your browser Endangered Species Act at Risk The Endangered Species Act (ESA) is currently at risk under a new proposal by the Trump Administration. A draft rule submitted by the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) would repeal the current definition of “harm” currently prohibited under the ESA. Currently under the ESA, agencies interpret harm to include damage to species’ habitat. But the administration is trying to change language in the rule to make it easier for developers and industry to build or extract in areas where listed endangered species live. This would loosen restrictions on industrial activities like coastal development and oil exploration that might damage an endangered animal’s habitat, even if the animal itself is not directly harmed. Habitat, like coral reefs, estuaries, and kelp forests, are where animals live to feed, breed and to survive. Developing or polluting habitat can kill prey populations or destroy refuge, adding to the threat of protected species. In many cases, species like green sea turtles require specific beaches to nest. Great hammerhead sharks use fragile estuaries and shallow bays to gestate and pup. Loss of important habitat means no baby turtles or baby sharks, increasing the risk of extinction. Endangered sea turtles require undisturbed beaches to nest. Green sea turtle, Kona Hawai'i. Image ?DavidMcGuire,SharkStewards Learn More On top of other threats to the marine environment, including stripping commercial fisheries protection in federal Marine Protected Areas, the change in the ESA could reverse critical environmental safeguards and over 50 years of important species protection. Redefining harm to leave out habitat destruction could be the death knell for imperiled species across the United States and beyond, including great hammerhead sharks, green sea turtles and short tailed albatross.

From: George Balazs Date: Fri, Apr 25, 2025 at 11:31 PM Subject: "A Turtle Rescue In Maui" | Short Video April 23, 2025 CNN Congratulations Once Again to the Marine Institute Maui Ocean Center for their rescue and care of Hawaiian honu in trouble! Please view this YouTube recently aired by CNN. The turtle rescue segment is at the 4 -to-9- minute mark. https://youtube.com/watch?v=EcIJaIl-P6s&si=IFE83gcRJYJA0EaN Note the vast majority of fishing line entanglements of turtles in Hawaii is the result of shoreline casting, where the turtle wraps itself in the active monofilament fishing line as the result of being attracted to the hook baited with shrimp, squid or chopped fish. Yes, honu primarily feed on marine vegetation, but they also have a huge fondness for proteinaceous sea foods when opportunities occur. Here is guidance on how to help a sea turtle, taken from the DLNR DAR State of Hawaii web site- https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/dar/fishing/fishing-around-protected-species/ "Fishing Around Sea Turtles Line entanglement around flippers, head or neck is the greatest threat to sea turtles so please remove as much line as possible! Call the NOAA Marine Wildlife Hotline: 1-888-256-9840 for technical guidance while you remove the line. Reel in turtle with care. Do the best you can to land the animal carefully. DO NOT drag a turtle up a cliff. Hold the turtle by its shell and/or flippers. Cut line close to hook, as short as possible. Remove the hook only if it can be done without injury to you or the turtle. If the hook’s barb is exposed, smash it down to easily extract the hook and shorten the handling time of the turtle. DO NOT remove the hook if swallowed. If using a barbless hook, the hook should easily come out. Remove any line from flippers, head and neck. Try to remove any remaining line from the reef. Release turtle with no line attached. Dispose of the line in a responsible manner." ------------------------------------------------ And https://www.kitv.com/news/hpu-findings-reveal-fishing-lines-as-dominant-threat-to-hawaiian-sea-turtles/article_320c754b-aa13-40d5-83a5-35a276a5ddd6.html HPU findings reveal fishing lines as dominant threat to Hawaiian sea turtles | News | kitv.com - KITV Island News The leading cause of injury to Hawaiian green sea turtles was discovered to be entanglement from fishing gear from the latest Hawaii Pacific University research. www.kitv.com

I can’t recommend a vet clinic more highly than this one. The personalized service and comfortable clinic was exceptional. And, unlimited free exams! The receptionist took the initiative to call us to come in sooner after seeing the medical records. And, you usually can get in within a day or two. They set aside times for same-day urgent appointments, if needed. We were just at the Mill Valley clinic. Besides Marin, they have Palo Alto, Berkeley, Walnut Creek, and SF. They run on-time, have a quiet empty lobby, free parking. It was super mellow and really good for my dog. The vet took her time and was so thorough. Normally, lobbies are hectic with long waits and the vets rushes during appointments. The vet nurse was also super nice and took his time with us. And, they’re super accessible by phone or app chats. Having free, unlisted exams is incredible! A real freedom to have peace of mind to be able to go back any time. The membership covers all locations including So Cal and other states. Here’s a referral link to get you $50 off the annual $199 membership fee. *The place reminds me of One Medical but for pets!* Judith sent you $50 off membership at Modern Animal – a new kind of veterinary experience with unlimited exams and 24-7 care – and thought you might love it too.
