What have Tigers got to do with Dog Agility Training?
The short answer to the question posed in our title is... NOTHING! But please bear with me and read on...
Make the Tiger Trade ban Permanent
If you care about wildlife in general, and tigers in particular please visit the two different page links [above, and below] now...
Below, also, is a quote from one of the web pages which these links point to -
"Tiger numbers have decreased dramatically in recent decades due to poaching to supply the illegal trade in tiger parts, used in traditional medicines, as clothing for cultural ceremonies and as decorative objects such as rugs.
It is illegal markets in China which drive most tiger poaching and illegal trade. To its credit, China has taken many steps to stem this problem; however, its commitment to ending tiger trade is now wavering."
the Illegal Tiger Trade must end

Save wolves... NOW
How to help save wolves... after all they are just big dogs!
No 'Dog Agility Training' information today... instead I'm going to give this blog over to an e-mail I received today from the Defenders org... please read the quote from their e-mail below and then click over, with the link at the bottom, to their website...
"We have just one week left to prevent the slaughter of hundreds of wolves in the Northern Rockies. Unless we stop them, federal officials could eliminate vital protections for these magnificent animals and spark the biggest wolf massacre in the lower 48 state to occur in decades.
Wolves were eliminated from this area in the last century -- trapped, poisoned, hunted and harassed. Their re-introduction to Yellowstone National Park and Central Idaho in the mid-1990s was a major conservation accomplishment.
Now that achievement is at risk as officials in Idaho and Wyoming gear up to kill hundreds of wolves.
In February, officials in the Bush/Cheney Administration proposed removing gray wolves in the Northern Rockies from the Endangered Species List… and turning over management of wolves to Idaho and Wyoming -- two states more concerned with eliminating wolves than managing them.
Lawmakers and anti-wolf extremists in Idaho and Wyoming have already announced plans to kill hundreds of wolves, putting the gray wolf’s future in the American West at risk.
More than 111,000 Defenders supporters have already taken action. Please help us reach our 200,000 signature goal by May 9th.
Help save wolves.
There are just 8 days remaining in the public comment period on this awful proposal. Please take action now!
PLEASE visit The Defenders Org NOW!
