Curse of Hakka Patas.

A hungry baby elephant was wandering through the forest, searching for something to eat. It saw a pumpkin in the middle of the scrubland. It looked tempting. The baby elephant tries to taste the pumpkin. It took the pumpkin by its trunk and put it inside its mouth. When it crunched the pumpkin, it suddenly blew inside its mouth. When the poor animal came to its senses, there was an unbearable pain in the place where its mouth used to be.

The baby elephant’s agony multiplied when it started feeling hunger and thirst. It moved to a water hole to quench its thirst thinking that it will stop this unbearable throbbing in its head. It took water from the water hole to its trunk and tried to put it inside its mouth, only to find that there was no mouth where it used to be. Apart from the great pain experienced due to wounds, the animal suffered further due to thirst and hunger. Unable to have food or water, the baby elephant starved to death.

Unlike other methods used to control or kill animals considered as a threat to farming, the use of Hakka Patas is considered inhumane because the animals suffer and most often don’t die instantly. Hakka Patas is an explosive device made locally and hidden inside animal fodder by irate farmers or angry villagers as a method to protect themselves and their crop from wild animals. According to Dr. Fernando elephants aren’t the only animals to get killed by Hakka Patas. “Cattle and wild boar also get wounded by this. All these animals get wounded in their jaws. Either they die on the spot or starve to death because they have no mouth to eat,” he explained.

Sunder, a 14-year-old Indian elephant, is supposed to be living in a sanctuary. Instead, he is being chained and beaten.

   For six years, Sunder was chained and abused at the Jyotiba temple in Kolhapur, India, but the Maharashtra Forest Department and Project Elephant gave orders to retire Sunder to a sanctuary. Instead, Maharashtra Member of Legislative Assembly Vinay Kore, who had given the elephant as a "gift" to the temple, sent him to be chained in an old, dark shed.

Whaling Petition

   Twenty-five years ago, under strong international pressure, in which Jacques Cousteau was a key leader, the International Whaling Commission enacted a moratorium on international commercial whaling. But using the justification of local traditions or supposed scientific goals, Japan, Norway and Iceland bypassed the rule and just slaughtered 25,000 giants of the sea.

Save Endangered Whales.

    Iceland could kill up to 184 fin whales this year. Help stop them.
   The Hvalur whaling company is Iceland's biggest whaler. Its managing director is Kristjan Loftsson. He could kill up to 184 endangered fin whales in 2013 and the slaughter has already begun!   He is using oil from these dead whales to fuel his hunting ships so that he can kill even more endangered whales.  He then sells the whale meat for dogs to eat!

STOP Commercial whaling!

    Commercial whaling killed 1100 whales in 1998 alone, and than number continues to grow every year. Norway and Japan have continued to hunt whales despite the 1986 whaling ban. Whales need our protection and help.

   Whaling in the Faroe Islands has been taking place for centuries; it is not a recent phenomenon.  "Grindadráp," as the hunts are called, are not commercial. Pilot whales are surrounded by hunters in boats and driven slowly into a bay or fjord where they are slaughtered.

Stop Commercial Whaling in Iceland!

   Iceland is blatantly violating international protections for whales and has increased their whale hunt. Endangered whales are being hunted and killed and their meat is being exported. Iceland is therefore violating two major international agreements: the ban on commercial whaling and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) ban on international trade in whale products.

Help protect the endangered North Atlantic right whale

   With fewer than 500 individuals remaining, the North Atlantic right whale {NARW} is on the brink of extinction.  The biggest threat to these animals was - and still is - man.  Historically, right whale populations were depleted to near extinction by whaling.

Stop the Dolphin Slaughter

   Every year, hundreds of dolphins are killed in brutal hunts in Taiji, Japan. Those not killed are sold for large sums of money and flown to marine parks around the world. This money funds the slaughter so that the hunts can continue.

Don't go to a dolphin show

   Dolphins have evolved over millions of years, adapting perfectly to life in the ocean. They are intelligent, social and self-aware, exhibiting evidence of a highly developed emotional sense. Captures of dolphins are traumatic and stressful and can result in injury and death of dolphins.

Save the Vaquita Porpoise

   The vaquita (Phocoena sinus, often previously called the Gulf of California harbor porpoise) has been recognized as a rare and vulnerable species since its scientific discovery fifty years ago. There are a number of potential threats facing the species (including habitat alteration by the drastic reduction of freshwater flow of the Colorado River), and its limited range in shallow waters of the upper portion of Mexico's Gulf of California is considered to be the smallest of any marine cetacean.
