PLEASE COULD YOU ALL FIND THE TIME TO COPY THE FOLLOWING TEXT IN RED & FORWARD IT ON TO USFWS; TO HELP PROTECT THE LIONS.
Dear Julie,
I have good news for the lions, but they still need your help! In October, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) issued a proposed rule concerning the fate of African lions. In response to a petition submitted by Born Free USA and other animal protection organizations back in 2011, USFWS proposed listing African lions as "threatened" under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.
Although not the "endangered" listing we requested, the threatened status will be accompanied by a special rule requiring a permit for any importation of sport-hunted lion trophies—which should only be issued for lions originating from countries with a scientifically sound management plan for the species. Born Free, of course, wants to see no sport hunting of lions. But, if it's not going to be prohibited completely, a strong permitting system is critical, because the U.S. imports over half of the hundreds of lion trophies brought home by trophy hunters globally each year.
USFWS is seeking comments from the public regarding this proposed ruling. Please let USFWS know that you support the listing, urging them to be diligent about not giving permits to kill lions from any at-risk populations—and to keep an attentive eye on the situation to assess whether strong actions are needed.This comment period ends next Tuesday, January 27, 2015, so be sure to send your comment as soon as possible. A sample comment is below for you to use or modify.
Some populations (such as those in West and Central Africa, or East African countries like Ethiopia) are clearly endangered, and permits should never be granted for imports of lion trophies from these countries. But, bear in mind: even trophies of an "endangered" species can enter the U.S. under a permitting scheme if it is determined that such importation enhances the survival of the species in the wild. (That's the technical language.) As a result, I am heartened—not disappointed—by the proposed rule.
Lion populations and the habitat available to them have diminished dramatically in recent years due to trophy hunting, bone trade, meat and organ consumption, disease, and agricultural expansion. Born Free and our partners on the ground in Africa will keep vigilant watch on lions and lion trade to ensure that the U.S. government's decision enhances conservation in the future. The lion has no margin for error.
For the animals,
P.S. Share this email with your friends and invite them to show their support for the listing by writing to the USFWS.
Sample comment to submit here by Tuesday, January 27, 2015:
I wish to express my support for the proposed rule to list African lions as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The African lion is in crisis; its numbers have declined by more than half in the last three decades. Potentially fewer than 32,000 remain today. A recent study found that the West African lion population is critically imperiled, with roughly 400 lions in total found in only four protected areas (down from 21 in 2005). Furthermore, current estimates state that there are approximately 2,000 lions left in Central Africa; 18,000 in East Africa; and 11,000 in Southern Africa.
The threats facing the African lion are numerous and varied. These include over-exploitation by recreational trophy hunting and commercial trade, loss of habitat and prey species, retaliatory killings, disease, bone trade, meat and organ consumption, and other human-caused and natural factors. While I do not believe that any trophy hunting is reasonable for such a vulnerable species, I applaud the step that the USFWS has taken toward limiting trophy kills with the special rule regarding permitting and country of origin. If trophy hunt imports cannot be banned outright, a strong permitting system is critical because the U.S. imports over half of the hundreds of lion trophies brought home by hunters globally each year. I urge the USFWS to be diligent about not giving permits to kill lions from any at-risk populations—and to keep an attentive eye on the situation to assess whether strong actions are needed.
For the reasons stated above, this proposal is both scientifically sound and urgently needed. Thank you to the USFWS for acknowledging that this iconic species is in grave trouble. I respectfully ask the USFWS to uphold the threatened listing for African lions in its final rule.

By Omemee | Posted January 4, 2014 | Omemee CNN PRODUCER NOTE CNN is currently investigating this iReport. It has not been verified. – Jareen, CNN iReport producer
The Dallas Safari Club has seen its organization in the cross-hairs of a worldwide debate since first announcing its plans for the execution of a highly endangered rhinoceros.
THIS IS NOT CONSERVATION IT IS JUST BLOODY MURDER
On January 11, 2014 at the Dallas Convention Center in Dallas, Texas, they will be auctioning the rights to kill an endangered Black Rhinoceros and are declaring this hunt a "heroic conservation" effort, the Dallas Safari Club and its supporters are attempting to deceive a gullible public into believing this hunt isn't simply the slaughter of a rare species of rhino.
The club's actions and rhetoric dares to make palatable what most would deem unjustifiable—killing an animal facing extinction. Some 'lucky' hunter-with a fist full of cash, gets to kill an endangered Black Rhino.
"Black rhinos tend to have a fairly high mortality rate," Executive Director of DSC Ben Carter says. "Generally speaking, out of a population of 2,000, harvesting three rhinos over a couple or three years has no impact on the health of the rhino herd at all."
"It's going to generate a sum of money large enough to be enormously meaningful in Namibia's fight to ensure the future of its Black Rhino populations," Carter says.

The money, in reality, may go to an already corrupt government, one that is willing to turn a blind eye to the destruction of its own resources for money. At the time of this writing, there is no clear indication who will get the money and for what conservation purposes. Government corruption In Southern Africa is a well-known issue and regularly documented by various media sources.
In a second interview Ben Carter states "Namibia has an annual quota to kill five black rhinos and has 'selected' the club to auction one of them." He then continues, "That said, if someone wants to cough up almost seven figures and use the permit to go shoot the rhinos with a camera, they are more than welcome to do so." These statements are a direct contradiction of what they are claiming as "advanced, state-of-the-art wildlife conservation and management techniques"
"Conservation," is the organization's only argument to garner support, even within its own community. This is simply a selfish attempt to ensure its members can continue hunting rhinoceros and other species years from now.
This auction to hunt a Black Rhino is NOT conservation of a species. There is nothing ethical or heroic about it. It is a deliberate attempt to mislead the general public and disguise the true motives of the Dallas Safari Club and its members.
Exposing a Rhino Hunt By HSUS
According to Louisiana conservation attorney John J. Jackson, who said he's been working on the auction project with federal wildlife officials, the hunt will involve one of five black rhinos selected by a committee and approved by the Namibian government. The five are to be older males, incapable of reproducing and likely "troublemakers … bad guys that are killing other rhinos," he said.
These animals are farm-raised around humans and cared for by humans only to be killed by rich hunters in what has been coined as "canned hunts." This is simply a method that allows them to farm more for harvesting later.
This auction is nothing more than abuse of Africa's natural resources to the highest bidder. No ethical or moral motive drives the hunt club's actions. What DSC touts as conservation, we label destruction of a nation.
Rhino poaching: After the killing: Farmers Rhino poached (Viewer Discretion)
Three rhinos were poached during our recent visit to a rhino farm. Is trading their horns the only way to save them? WARNING: contains graphic images.
The DSC lawyer's statements are shockingly arrogant and factually incorrect. "This is advanced, state-of-the-art wildlife conservation and management techniques," Jackson, a Metairie, La.-based international wildlife attorney, said Wednesday. "It's not something the layman understands, but they should. This is the most sophisticated management strategy devised," he said. "The conservation hunt is a hero in the hunting community."
Yes he is correct–the hunt may be a hero in the hunting community. But it has no conservation value other than the additional killing of rhinoceros and other species by rich Americans. This guise of "conservation" is not new but seems to be the only justification the group has.
The individuals who participate in these hunts are rich Americans and Germans-typically millionaires who could very simply donate towards the care and keeping of endangered species rather than killing them. If this club wants to be seen as 'heroes,' and it has such a concern for conservation, it could easily petition its rich members to save these animals by donating money, to be used towards conserving the species.
So we continue to ask–how is handing over a sum of money for the rights to kill an animal that is nearly extinct the most sophisticated management strategy, when most South African countries are banning Trophy Hunting?
These countries have found that it just does not work. There is a comprehensive list of researched and confirmed reasons that clearly explain why trophy hunting is not a good conservation method, even if cash is generated in the process. And, in fact, the numbers of threatened species have rapidly declined since the Hunting Lobby groups won the fight to continue "their conservation efforts".
The real motive for this auction and hunt is not for the survival of the rhino species, and protection of the species' inherent majesty and ecological importance, but rather for the expensive blood-lust thrill of killing. This opportunity is available only to an elite group of power hungry wealthy people to "conserve" a commodity for the continued planned, organized, and highly profitable execution of wildlife for fun!

The rhino hunt is reportedly going to take place at Mangetti National Park, which is located in northern Namibia.
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) has granted Namibia an annual export quota of up to five hunter-taken black rhinos, South Africa Tourism Update reported. The Namibia government approved the permit in accordance with CITES provisions to generate funding for rhino conservation initiatives, including anti-poaching efforts.

"Jeff Flocken, North American director for the International Fund for Animal Welfare, believes that this auction sends the wrong message, implying that the black rhino is worth more dead than it's worth alive. "Killing animals to save them is not only counterintuitive but ludicrous," Flocken told National Geographic. "We're talking a highly endangered species, and generating a furor to kill them in the name of conservation is not going to do anything to help them in the long run."
"Every single rhino is under the threat of poaching at the moment," said Director of the World Wildlife Fund's Species Conservation Program, Barney Long, to Antara News. However, the WWF also sent a letter to the FWS in 2009, advocating for the removal of non-breeding males.
British conservation charity Save the Rhino has advocated for proactive hunting while still acknowledging the minor details in play. Save the Rhino has also argued positively for the auction being held in America rather than remaining within Namibian boundaries.
"Couldn't they get $750,000 without having to suffer an animal being shot? Well, yes," Save the Rhino said in a statement on the official website, savetherhino.org. "It would be nice if donors gave enough money to cover the spiralling costs of protecting rhinos from poachers. Or if enough photographic tourists visited parks and reserves to cover all the costs of community outreach and education programmes. But that just doesn't happen."

WARNING VERY GRAPHIC – Rhino Wars- The Silent Slaughter
Published on 1 Nov 2012 – Gavrielle Kirk-Cohen
Rhino Wars- The Silent Slaughter is a short documentary about rhino poaching in South Africa, which has become a pandemic. If rhino poaching continues at its current rate, all rhinos will soon be extinct. It is imperative that more awareness needs to be created about rhino poaching, so that governments will act with greater resolve and political will to combat poaching. This documentary was filmed in South Africa in June 2012 in partial fulfilment of my Masters dissertation and is dedicated to Lawrence Anthony for his wonderful work in conservation and for doing everything in his power and beyond to save the rhinos.

It's simple: Animals exist for their own reasons—they don't want to be trapped in the wild, torn away from their families, confined to cages or small tanks, beaten, neglected, abused, or killed. You can relate, right?
The only reason why people eat, wear, confine, and kill animals is because animals can't fight back. Industries that exploit animals may not listen to the voices of the animals who are crying out for help, but they will listen to yours!
Viewer Discretion Advised
Whether it's making sure always to adopt animals from shelters instead of buying from a breeder or a pet store, telling local stores to ditch glue traps, speaking out against dissection or cruel events like "donkey basketball" at school, reporting chained dogs or dogfighting in the local neighborhood, or volunteering at a local animal shelter, we all can make simple decisions that help animals every single day.

Romanian Hunting Party Draws Criticism

Environmentalists criticise a hunting excursion for high-profile politicians and businessmen.
A hunting party in north-western Romania, which drew many local and foreign businessmen, ended on Sunday with what media and green activists called "true carnage"- over 150 wild boars were killed. The hunt was organised by tennis player turned businessman Ion Tiriac, who is also one of the country's richest men.
Tiriac holds the lease to the Balc hunting facilities in north west Romania, where the gathering took place. With him were some 30 guests, including businessmen Wolfgang Porsche and Klaus Mangold of DaimlerChrysler, and Spanish banker Jose Merino Jimenez, according to local media reports.
"These kind of events are an excellent opportunity to socialise, make new friends and discuss politics or business," said Elan Schwartzenberg, an Israeli with businesses in Romania, who was one of the few participants who agreed to speak about the hunting party.
While Ion Tiriac's lawyers have argued that the boars are brought in from a local breeding facility and are not a protected species, environmentalists say the magnitude of the hunt and the involvement of so many top-level executives and politicians are matters of concern.
The international environmental group Vier Pfoten has criticised the size of the hunt. "It's time that this kind of animal massacre comes to an end. We are not questioning the legality of this hunting event but its magnitude, as in the last six years around 1,200 wild boar were killed in the Balc contained area," Veronica Tulpan, head of national program at the group, argued.
In the past, Romanian authorities also questioned the management of the animals in the Balc area and the legality of the contract under which the hunting ground was leased, though no irregularities were discovered.
In late 2004, the government of former prime minister Adrian Nastase granted Ion Tiriac a a 49-year lease on the Balc grounds without a public auction. Soon after Nastase lost elections but for several years he was among the participants at the hunting events in Balc.
In Romania, like in many other ex-communist countries, hunting has long been associated with the old nomenklatura. Former dictator Nicolae Ceausescu often hunted bears, wild boars, and black goats in the mountains.
Since 1990, hunting has become increasingly popular among rich foreigners and Romania's nouveau riche and political elite.

For the men wearing wetsuits wading in a shallow bay teeming with trapped wild dolphins, the decision is as simple as it is ruthless. Running their hands carefully over each dolphin's body, they check to ensure the creature is free from scars, particularly on the dorsal and tail fins.
At first glance this human interaction with one of the few creatures said to possess an intellect close to our own appears an act of caring tenderness. But in reality, these are businessmen selecting their merchandise for a multi-million-pound trade in live dolphins. The best specimens (usually young females, or cows) are removed from their families to be sold live for between £50,000 and £100,000 each to aquariums.
The dolphins they reject — the ones with minor blemishes on their skin — are slaughtered where they are trapped in that cove at Taiji on the south coast of Japan.

The cruel sea: A dolphin selected for sale last month in Japan. Others that are 'not suitable' are killed
In a frenzy of violence that has shocked animal lovers and marine environmentalists around the world, some are speared repeatedly by fisherman circling in motorboats whose propellers often slice the dolphins' skin. Others are simply held underwater to drown.
Sometimes, a metal pole is rammed into their blubber in the hope of shattering the mammal's spine. A cork stopper is then hammered into the hole where the rod was forced in, to try to reduce the blood spilt into the sea — to conceal the extent of the slaughter.
The rejects are slaughtered for their meat. Some are speared repeatedly by fisherman circling in motorboats whose propellers often slice the dolphins' skin
Invariably a few dolphins try to make a break for freedom and attempt to jump over the netting that seals off the bay.
However, amid the blood-red waters almost all of them eventually succumb to their fate. These barbaric scenes took place just before Christmas, during a hunting season when Japanese fishermen 'harvest' dolphins to supply to aquariums for human entertainment.
Killer cove: The dolphins they reject – the ones with minor blemishes on their skin – are trapped in a cove at Taiji on the south coast of Japan
It is estimated that for every wild dolphin caught to be trained to perform tricks in captivity, around four times that number are slaughtered.
The fishermen then sell off the meat for about £10 a kilo. They see the creatures as a menace because they pose a threat to the dwindling reserves of fish in the Pacific Ocean.
Blood red: Japanese fishermen collect the bodies of harpooned dolphins from the bloody waters of a bay in Taiji
But for those that survive the slaughter, life might as well be over.The stress a dolphin suffers as a result of being captured, transported and imprisoned in a small tank dramatically reduces its lifespan
While wild dolphins live for up to 60 or 70 years, captured ones often perish when they are as young as eight, say environmentalists.
According to marine experts, some dolphins are so distressed by their capture that they commit suicide.
The odds: For every wild dolphin caught to be trained to perform tricks in captivity, around four times that number are slaughtered
One of the most vocal campaigners against the practice is also one of the most knowledgeable — he is the very man who helped create and promote the worldwide aquarium industry.
Ric O'Barry became famous in the Sixties as the on-screen trainer of the five dolphins that played Flipper in the popular U.S. TV series, which was also hugely successful in Britain.
For ten years he worked at Miami Seaquarium, where he trained the wild mammals after capturing them on hunting expeditions in the Pacific.
Rounding them up: Fishermen drive bottle-nose dolphins into a net during their annual hunt off Taiji. The 'drive hunt' involved five or six large fishing vessels sailing out to sea to find a pod of dolphins
But when Kathy, the main dolphin that played Flipper, died in his arms after apparently losing the will to live, he says it dawned on him how cruel captivity is for such intelligent and social creatures.
For the past 40 years he has travelled the world highlighting the plight of dolphins in amusement parks, and even releasing them from those parks into the wild, often getting arrested in the process.
Three years ago, he made a documentary called The Cove, which revealed the truth about the 'drive hunts' that take place at Taiji in Japan. Yet since then, the practice has continued unabated — as these photographs demonstrate only too graphically.
O'Barry, 73, says live dolphins taken from the waters in Japan are shipped to aquariums and 'swim-with-dolphin' centres mostly in the Far East. Speaking from his home in Miami, O'Barry says: 'Taiji is the number one location to get dolphins for the dolphinarium industry — or what I called "abusement parks".'
Some dolphins are so distressed by their capture that they commit suicide. the stress that they suffer as a result of being captured dramatically shortens their lifespan
Although there are no international laws banning the shipment of live dolphins to those countries prepared to accept them, O'Barry claims the dolphins undergo terrible suffering.
'After enduring a painfully long period of transportation, they are put into often filthy and confined conditions at aquariums. 'These are free-ranging creatures with a large brain whose primary sense is sound.
'Some have been placed in aquariums at casinos where the noise is appalling. These environments are hell-holes to creatures used to the open seas and which often swim up to 100 miles in a day in search of food. 'They are taken away from the two most important aspects of their life — the world of oceanic sound and their families. 'They end up suffering depression. I believe they are also capable of trying to commit suicide.'
Two years ago at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in south-western Japan, hundreds of tourists at a marine show looked on in astonishment as a large dolphin rose up out of the water tank to balance precariously on the glass barrier of the aquarium. It then threw itself out of the water on to the ground.
Touchingly, the other dolphins in the tank swam to the glass wall to look at the plight of their companion, called Kuru (meaning 'black'). The dolphin was eventually put into a huge tarpaulin sling and winched by a crane back into the water.
The hunt is on: Taiji's fishermen are licensed by the national government to catch 2,100 dolphins and pilot whales in the six-month hunting season
The incident was filmed by an appalled American tourist, who passed the footage on to O'Barry. While many thought the mammal was trying to make a break for freedom, O'Barry believes it was more likely it wanted to commit suicide.
'It was depressed and wanted to end it,' O'Barry says, adding that it had been in captivity for six years after being taken from the wild. 'I have seen it many, many times. They are living in a world of sensory deprivation, then bombarded with a wall of noise from the crowd.'
After the clip was made public the aquarium managers immediately issued a statement saying the dolphin was 'playing around' and suffered minor scratches and bruises on its head and fin. It was, they insisted, fine and enjoyed a healthy serving of mackerel and squid once returned to the tank.
They did admit, however, that dolphins occasionally jump out of the water on to dry land, so they have now placed crash mats around the perimeter of the three tanks in their amusement park to avoid serious injury.
A hidden practice: Due to worldwide concern, the fishermen now try to hide the slaughter. The kills take place out of sight underneath blue tarpaulins
The trade in wild dolphins to U.S. aquariums has ceased due to public outrage, and the high-profile campaigns of activists like O'Barry.
There are no captive dolphins in Britain either as a result of a public backlash against the shows. Only a few are on show in Europe, and these animals were born in captivity — although O'Barry fears even this poses a threat to the mammals' welfare because there is now a problem with inbreeding. O'Barry exhorts the public never to attend dolphin aquariums.
'The solution lies with the consumer,' he says. 'Don't buy a ticket for a captive dolphin show. 'This is a multi-million-dollar industry I helped create. I remember loading them onto the planes after the Flipper show became so popular. At one point there were more dolphins in the UK than in Florida.
'But the consumer now has to bring his power to bear on this trade, which also results in the slaughter of all those other dolphins. There is more money in live dolphins than dead ones, but the one fuels the other.'
A fisheries worker guides the carcass of dolphins at 'killer cove' in Taiji, Japan. The fishermen claim that any kills that take place are humane and that it takes only seconds for the dolphins to die
In Taiji, Nicole McLachlan, of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, is part of a team monitoring the capture and killing of dolphins that takes place from September to March each year in the small port where whales have been hunted since the 17th century. Last month alone, she claims up to 170 cetaceans were killed, including pilot whales, risso, striped and bottlenose dolphins. More than 100 were captured for aquariums.
Such is worldwide concern over the slaughter that the fishermen try to hide it. 'Nowadays the kills take place out of sight underneath blue and brown tarpaulins that cover the bay,' the Australian marine environmentalist says.
'The carnage lasts about half an hour. It is harrowing. 'They are terrified. You hear the dolphins screaming; it's a high-pitched wailing sound. 'There is splashing as they thrash around in the water. Young dolphin calves are often among those slaughtered within the cove; some are younger than a year old.'
Yet locals are adamant it should continue. Police monitor the activists while many of the town's 3,500 residents — most of whom are linked to the fishing industry — arrive to support the fishermen in this Japanese tradition.
The 'drive hunt' ('oikomiryou' in Japanese) involves five or six large fishing vessels sailing out to sea to find a pod of dolphins. The fishermen bang metal poles against the side of the boat to disorientate and scare them.
More boats arrive, making the same noise, to corral the confused and by now terrified pod into the cove, which is then sealed off. The next day the inspectors arrive to examine their quarry and separate the dolphins for the aquariums from those to be killed.
According to the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society, between 1968 and 1972, only 77 live-caught bottlenose dolphins were sent to aquariums from such hunts. But now Taiji's 120 fishermen are licensed by the national government to catch 2,100 dolphins and pilot whales in the six-month hunting season.
A fisherman tows away dolphins that have been tied by rope to the front of his boat. In 2011, about 15 per cent of dolphins were taken into captivity (68 were kept alive and 968 killed)
The fishermen claim any kills that take place, particularly those where the rod shatters the spine, are humane and that it takes only seconds for the dolphins to die. It is a claim vehemently refuted by marine environmentalists.
A spokesman for the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society said: 'In 2011, about 15 per cent of the dolphins were taken for captivity (68 were kept alive and 968 killed). 'The year before that (2010-2011), nearly 20 per cent were taken into captivity (213 were sold for aquariums and 1,100 were killed) This year, however, may be even higher due to the 100 bottlenose dolphins already taken into captivity.'
In the summer months, long after the blood has been washed away from Taiji cove, tourists arrive to swim in the bay — with dolphins. The town has a whale museum and fish tanks in which dolphins are kept — in 2011, two dolphins were filmed in a tank so small it was nicknamed 'the fish-bowl'.
Captured dolphins also swim in the bay, which is sealed off to ensure they cannot bolt to freedom.
And as tourists marvel at the antics of these sensitive creatures and play with them, almost every one remains blissfully unaware of Taiji's bloody secret — and of how young healthy dolphins are snatched away from their parents to amuse humans in this callous multi-million-pound trade.

Botswana To Ban Hunting Over Wildlife Species Decline

Botswana will ban commercial hunting from January 2014 over growing concerns about the sharp decline in wildlife species, officials have announced.
"The shooting of wild game for sport and trophies is no longer compatible with our commitment to preserve local fauna," the environment ministry said.
The ban is likely to be controversial as many communities depend on hunting for their livelihoods.
As much as a third of the global elephant population lives in Botswana. Recent estimates place the number at about 130,000.
Conservationists are concerned about the erosion of river banks caused by the animals in some nature parks, the BBC's Letlhogile Lucas in the capital, Gaborone, reports.
The ban, set to come into place on 1 January, could also pose a threat to local communities, in particular bushmen, for whom hunting is a means to survive, our correspondent adds.
Furthermore, selling hunting licences to wealthy Westerners is an extremely lucrative business, he says.
Hunting concessions currently exist in the northern Okavango Delta and the parks of the Kalahari region, famous for its upmarket safari lodges.
According to the environment ministry's official statement, the government will continue to issue special game licences "for traditional hunting by some local communities within designated wildlife management areas".
Average trophy fee per species
Elephant: Up to $30,000, depending on weight
Lion: $29,000
Leopard: $7,150
Buffalo: $3,744
Giraffe: $3,500
Zebra: $1,923
Due to its seasonal nature, hunting has only contributed a minimal amount to the tourism sector, which ranks second to the diamond industry in terms of its revenue earnings, the ministry said.
Designated hunting zones will be turned into "photographic areas".
The announcement has been welcomed by the International Fund for Animal Welfare.
"The ideal scenario would be that it has a similar effect to the ban on whaling 20 years ago," the organisation's spokesman, Adrian Hiel, told the BBC.
"Whale watching is now proven to be more sustainable and profitable than hunting and killing the animals."
Earlier this year, Spain's King Juan Carlos faced international criticism for going on a hunting trip in Botswana. "He apologised to the Spanish people, not the world!"

Taming The Tigers: Tiger Temple Or Just Tourist Tigers?

In 1994 a Buddhist Temple was founded in Thailand. It would become one of the most well-known tourist attractions, where the public could interact with Tigers. But it hid a terrible secret; it would also come to be known as one of the most infamous tiger breeding, trading and abusive facilities in the world!
Sybelle Foxcroft was the undercover investigator who exposed this. After the Thai Government and no conservation agency moved on this violent place, Sybelle continued to go into the temple and investigate herself with her conservation organisation, Cee4life (Conservation and Environmental Education 4 Life).
Link:–https://www.facebook.com/BehindtheCloakBuddha
In 2011, she released the book 'Behind the Cloak of Buddha' which chronicles the lives of these tigers. They will never have lived their lives in vain.

On October 2012, Sybelle went back with David O'shea…here is the outcome….
Here is the YouTube video for the Dateline program. I went back to the Tiger Temple with Dateline journalist David O'Shea to check on the Tigers welfare, to see any changes, and to provide education for the public to travel ethically. Please share this with everyone you know.
Until people are educated about this place and others like it, animals will continue to be abused, animals will suffer, and animals will disappear, all because people think its cool to "pat" these wild creatures. Save your money and support the last 3000 tigers left in world in the wild, and help us protect the ones in captivity from illegal wildlife trade and exploitation ~ Sybelle
Taming the Tigers
Published on 30 Oct 2012 by DatelineSBS
Thailand's Tiger Temple attracts thousands of tourists, but activists claim there's a history of ill treatment and illegal trafficking of animals.

Temple Tigers attacks Tourist – The Tiger is known to have a most powerful bite force of 1000 pounds/453kg when adults. A Tiger can kill at human when they are 6+ months old. On 15th October 2012, a female tourist walked into the temple and within 10 minutes she was rushed to hospital after a young tiger attacked and bit her. She has 9 stitches and is ok. Imagine if that was your head, your child's torso..
The only reason I know is because I was there. Tourists sign and indemnity form when entering the temple, releasing them of any accountability I am compiling a list of injuries, attacks, and bites on tourists in the tiger temple over the years. I'm doing this for 2 reasons, for safety of humans, and to support the captives Tigers of the temples right to live in ethical and humane situations, away from people pulling their heads around and sitting on them etc.
They ARE survival specialist carnivores. If you or any only you know has been bitten, please send detailed information to sybelle@cee4life.org or donna@cee4life.org There is no magical care that can make tigers placid, Tigers have and will continue to attack human beings that put themselves in such dubious close proximity. Please respect your life, your loved ones, and respect these tigers. Learn to look but not touch. – Sybelle
The Drugging of the Temple Tigers – For those of you who haven't read the book "Behind the Cloak of Buddha" I would like to clear up the "drugging of the tigers". This so-called drugging was mentioned by one girl who never provided any proof back in 2006. There was no proof then and there is no proof now. However this girl said the Tigers were drugged to the conservation organisation who conducted the investigation and so the "story" began.
I became the undercover investigator in 2007 in the Temple and I can guarantee you that I watched from 5am -11pm and not once did I catch them giving any classic drugs (injections, pills) to the Tigers. However, I did repeatedly observe Tigers displaying classic signs and symptoms of sedation eg: unsteady, eye dialated, tongue hanging out, increased thirst, etc however still no evidence of drugging.
There are herbal concoctions that cause sedative effects which could easily have been put in their food, however again I never caught them doing that either. One afternoon I followed Hernfa back to his cage, there was something wrong with him. He was staggering, incredibly off balance, and he could barely make it to his cage. He fell onto the floor. I called his name and he struggled to lift his head, his eyes could barely focus on me. This is one of the photos of him in this state. (there are a series of them).
Hernfa drugged or exhausted?
Picture taken by Sybelle- Drugged or not? This is Hernfa one of the photos of him in this state. (there are a series of them). Was he just extremely exhausted?
Was he just extremely exhausted? He would be from 500 people. But I set about trying to find the reason for the extreme lethargy that all the Tigers displayed and I was able to determine this. These Tigers are locked in cells 20 hrs per day, no sunshine, no exercise, no enrichment. They are then pulled out for the tourists for 4 hours where they are yanked up and down for photos. Additionally, not one of these Tigers has a correct diet.
All have NEVER had red meat or blood or bones as a carnivore should, they are lacking in multiply vitamins and minerals etc, they are in a weakened state already. Then, many had been beaten from birth and the continued abuse of punches in the head and urine sprayed in the face has been caught on camera by many tourists. None of the Tigers have any real muscle tone at all and many have lost a good amount of their eyesight because of the lack of taurine in their diet. (Taurine is found in a normal carnivore meat diet and causes eye problems when there is a lack of it. In these Tigers cases, it is non existent).
So you have, unhealthy, weak, defeated, abused, unenriched, lacking exercise who cant see properly Tigers being dragged around day after day for their life. And then one day in the Tigers food preparation area I found the leaf of the Kratom tree, a category 5 narcotic, illegal but a native tree to Thailand…… Was this what caused this effect on the Tigers? Or was it purely the abuse in every way of the Tigers…. There will only be one way to find out, thorough drug testing outside of Thailand. Sybelle

A Thai man who organised illegal rhino poaching trips has been given the country's strongest illegal wildlife sentence to date.

A Thai national has been sentenced to 40 years' imprisonment after pleading guilty to charges of exporting rhino horns from South Africa, in the country's strongest illegal wildlife sentence to date.
Chumlong Lemtongthai admitted to playing a large part in a scheme that used white rhino trophy hunts in South Africa as a cover for smuggling horns to black markets in Asia. He employed Asian nationals to pose as hunters and take part in organised hunts on game farms in the North West province.
Charges against three South Africans and two others Asian nationals, the co-accused, were however dropped without explanation.
Lemtongthai told Johnannesburg's Kempton Park magistrates court: "I humbly apologise to the court and to the people of South Africa for my role in this matter. I appreciate that the emotions of all animal lovers in South Africa are running very high and that I was part of the problem."
Jo Shaw, rhino co-ordinator for WWF-SA, said: "These higher-level arrests and convictions are critical to disrupting the illegal trade chains used to move rhino horns into illicit markets in Asia."
Areas of Asia, in particular Vietnam, have increased their demand for white rhino horn powder in recent years. Wrongly believed to enhance sexual performance, cure hangovers and even cancer, a growing wealthy class in Asian society have begun to pay more than ever for rhino horns. The result has been a rapid rise in rhino horn poaching in South Africa, culminating in a record rise in 2012, with more than 450 rhinos killed in the country this year already.
Around half of the poaching occurs in the Kruger national park, in the country's north-west.

BP-ICAM Webinar: Electrochemical Techniques for Corrosion
University staff, Adults, Alumni, Current University students
Eventrbrite
In category "Webinar"
By Faculty of Science and Engineering
Exploring the Diversity of Electrochemical Techniques for Understanding Corrosion Phenomena
In this BP-ICAM webinar, Dr Kyra Sedransk Campbell, Royal Society – EPSRC Dorothy Hodgkin Research Fellow in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London, will explore the diversity of electrochemical techniques for understanding corrosion phenomena.
The wide reaching implications of corrosion problems cannot be overstated, with staggering global costs. However, it is an oversimplification to think of all the corrosion problems as a single phenomenon. We are better served to think of corrosion as a family of phenomena. The changes to the substrate in question can be chemical, electrochemical, and/or mechanical and all of these must be considered in the context of the environment in which the changes are occurring. In academia, the focus is to understand these underlying phenomena to help explain the corrosion behaviours observed. Developing this understanding is critical to developing adequate and appropriate corrosion mitigation strategies.
Dr Sedransk Campbell will discuss how the evolution of how corrosion measurements are made, starting with a historical perspective. The discussion will highlight the importance of both immersion and electrochemistry as standard laboratory tools which can be employed as a means of enhancing understanding. In particular, the growing diversity of electrochemical techniques being employed to understand corrosion phenomena will be explored in a few specific examples, including one from Dr Sedransk Campbell's group.
About Dr Kyra Sedransk Campbell:
Dr Kyra Sedransk Campbell is a Royal Society – EPSRC Dorothy Hodgkin Research Fellow in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College and the 2017 recipient of the IChemE Nicklin Medal for early career achievement.
She received her SB in Chemical Engineering from MIT, conducting an undergraduate thesis under the direction of Prof. KK Gleason. Her PhD was awarded from the University of Cambridge in Chemical Engineering, under the direction of Prof. G.D. Moggridge, and was supported by the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship (USA).

What happens when a default is entered against me in a Florida case?
If you are involved in a lawsuit, one of the things that you do not want to occur is to be defaulted out as a party in the case. When a party is defaulted by the clerk or the court, that party cannot defend itself in the case until the default is set aside by the court. This means that unless the default is set aside, a judgment will likely be entered against the party that had a default entered against it. This is the major reason why you should immediately consult with an attorney when you are served with a complaint.
How is a default entered against a party in Florida?
A default can occur in two different ways. First, according to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.500(a), a default can be entered by the clerk against a party "When a party against whom affirmative relief is sought has failed to file or serve any paper in the action, the party seeking relief may have the clerk enter a default against the party failing to serve or file such paper." This means that if a party, typically a defendant, fails to file any pleading or other document in the lawsuit, the party seeking relief, typically the plaintiff, can request that the clerk enter a default against the other party. The clerk will then inspect the docket of the court case, and if the clerk finds that there has never been a filing entered in the case by the party to be defaulted, then the clerk typically will enter a default against that party.
The second way that a default may be entered against a party is also included in Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.500(b), which states, "When a party against whom affirmative relief is sought has failed to plead or otherwise defend as provided by these rules or any applicable statute or any order of court, the court may enter a default against such party; provided that if such party has filed or served any paper in the action, that party shall be served with notice of the application for default." In this instance, the default is entered by order of the court, not by a docket entry by the clerk. Typically defaults by the court are entered if a defendant files some sort of document in the case, but that document does not amount to a defense under the rules or Florida law. Another way that default may be entered by the court is when there is some particular situation in the case that prevents the clerk from entering the default automatically. This can happen when the defendant has not been properly served or has been served by substitute service. There are also other, less common, situations when a default can be requested by a plaintiff and entered against a defendant by the court. An attorney will be able to tell you if any of these situations are relevant in your case. In these instances, the court will most likely want to have a motion for default by the plaintiff's attorney filed, in order to ensure that everything is in order procedurally before a default is entered by the court.
What happens to the defaulted party?
So, now that we know how the opposing party is able to enter a default, what happens to you as the defendant? Is there any way for you to defend the case? The effect of the entry of a default either by the clerk or by the court is that the defaulted party can no longer participate in the case, other than by filing a motion to set aside the default, which I will cover in another blog post. Until there is an order by the court that sets aside the entry of a default against a party, that party is treated like a third party to the lawsuit. No defenses, crossclaims, or counterclaims can be raised by the defaulted party. A default will only admit well plead facts in the complaint. Therefore, if the plaintiff fails to state a cause of action in the complaint and a default judgment is entered by the court against the defaulted defendant, the defaulted defendant may be able to set aside the judgment.
The most important effect of a default is that the plaintiff can proceed to judgment against the defaulted party immediately after the default is entered by the clerk or court. If the damages in the case are liquidated, which means that there is an identifiable, specific amount of damages, then the plaintiff can proceed to request a default judgment from the court and then proceed to judgment execution against the defaulted party, without any defenses presented by the defendant. Basically, by electing to not participate in the case, if you are the defaulted party, you are giving the plaintiff an easy path to obtaining a judgment against you. Unless there is a highly specific situation that only an attorney can advise you on, it is typically never recommended to allow for a default to be entered against you in a lawsuit. You never want to easily allow for a judgment to be entered against you, especially if you have defenses or counterclaims against the plaintiff.
If you are served with a complaint, you need to consult with an attorney right away.
A default is the primary example of why it is important to talk to an attorney as soon as possible when you are served with a complaint in a lawsuit. Once you are served, you only have 20 days to file an answer and raise your defenses. If you do not file the answer and defenses within the 20 day limit, that opens the door to a default being entered against you in the case. If you receive any communication stating that a party is placing you on notice that they are requesting a default to be entered against you, you need to consult with an attorney as soon as possible. A skilled litigation attorney will be able to act fast to put you in the best position to be able to prevent the default from being entered against you and preserving your defenses. The sooner you talk to an attorney, the better.
