URGENT: They’re Burning Sea Lions!
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is reportedly branding sea lions so that individual animals caught eating protected salmon can be identified and gunned down.
Astoria-area residents have reportedly observed men herding these gentle animals into traps only to burn their flesh repeatedly with a blazing-hot iron. Billows of smoke have allegedly been seen rising into the air during these assaults, and victims have been described as “[lying] on the docks trembling”—an indication of extreme stress or pain.
Disturbing photos given to PETA, which appear to corroborate these reported brandings, can be viewed here. Your voice is needed!
Using the form here, please politely urge ODFW officials to immediately stop the branding and killing of sea lions. Remind officials that these animals are just trying to survive and feed their families, so they should be left alone. If ODFW wants to protect salmon stocks, then banning fishing in its waters would be a good start. If sea lions must be controlled, they can be humanely and effectively deterred using physical and visual barriers.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/2ec392cfca92564f37b05d6b0e08ad55/tumblr_mkt4x5tnoZ1ryf6mho1_500.jpg)

Hey everyone! I have a favor to ask - Our local animal shelter is doing a contest to win $100K. They REALLY need it. They are one of the only shelters in the area and currently does not have the funding it needs to handle the large amount of animals. They are also going to start a trap-neuter-release program which is desperately needed with the amount of stray cats hanging around.
You can vote once a day - they need a legit email to confirm your vote

Please reblog & share with your followers! They were so close to winning a contest a few years ago but came in 2nd place which brought in no money :(

What goes in the ocean goes in you. Recent studies estimate that fish off the West Coast ingest over 12,000 tons of plastic a year. Find out how you can help turn the tide on plastic pollution at www.surfrider.org/rap.

Carriage Horse Dies in NYC Street.
Concerned New York residents are calling for an investigation after a carriage horse knelt down and died in the middle of a busy Manhattan street on Sunday.
En route the Central Park near 54th and 8th Ave, a large white horse used by the NYC carriage industry knelt down and died in the middle of the road. The law enforcement unit of the New York ASPCA is one of the groups calling for an investigation telling the New York Daily News, “The ASPCA has long believed that carriage horses were never meant to live and work in today’s urban setting.” A no brainier for anyone who knows anything about horses but still the industry persists.
Horses in the NYC carriage industry are forced to work nine hours a day in almost every weather condition. They spend their entire lives pounding sensitive hooves on hard pavement while they navigate some of the most reckless and dangerous traffic conditions. At the end of their lives, when they’ve been worked to exhaustion, many are sold to slaughterhouses where they are butchered and sold for meat.
Being carriage horse is no walk in the park. If they don’t die the streets, these gentle and caring horses are worked to the brink of death and slaughtered all in an effort to turn a quick buck for their owner. This poor horse’s death underscores the need for a ban on the industry.
Enough is enough, end the use of carriage horses now.
