Take action: Help us ensure that US waters are safe for sharks
Senator John Kerry (D-MA) has introduced the Shark Conservation Act of 2009 to help close loopholes in the existing laws regarding shark finning in US waters. This bill has already passed the House of Representatives and is awaiting action in the Senate.
Please ask your Senator to co-sponsor this bill and help put an end to shark finning.
Act now to protect sheep from mass cruelty
Five years ago after a tragic accident involving the death of five thousand sheep on a transport ship, the government of New Zealand made the humane decision to stop the long distance transport of sheep - But now that decision is in danger of being overturned and we need your help to ensure that the ban remains in place.

Stop the long distance transport of pigs for slaughter
Live pigs are cruelly shipped for a week or longer from mainland U.S. in cramped containers just to be slaughtered and sold in Hawaii. Misleading labels like “Island Pork,” “Island Produced” and “Island Produced Pork” are often placed on meat and meat products even though the pigs were born and raised in the mainland U.S.
Please contact Times Supermarkets and Foodland Super Market and politely request that they stop selling meat from animals that have been shipped from the mainland.
WSPA is supporting a campaign by our member society, the American Anti-Vivisection Society (AAVS), to keep meat and milk products from cloned animals out of the food supply. It would be a major victory for animals if McDonald's, one of the world's most well-known brands, refused to buy meat or dairy products from cloned animals or their offspring. Join us in asking the president of McDonald's to be a leader in the food industry by making a public pledge that cloned animals and their offspring will never be a part of McDonald's menu.
