Your 5 Minute Activist Links for March 10, 2008

** Defenders of Wildlife **
The elusive pacific fisher is a member of the weasel family, an excellent climber, one of the rarest and most vulnerable creatures in the entire western half of the United States… and one of 280 imperiled species awaiting Endangered Species Act protections.
Take action now to ensure that fishers get the help they need. Urge your U.S. Representative to support needed funding for federal programs to protect threatened and endangered wildlife.

** The Wilderness Society **
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is moving to hand over 110,000 acres in the pristine Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska to oil and gas exploration. In addition, they plan to transfer 97,000 acres of subsurface mineral rights to Doyon, Ltd, a for-profit corporation hoping to profit from oil and gas development in the refuge.
Take action today to protect this wildlife habitat!

** People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals **
Once again, defying international opposition and all standards of human decency, the Canadian government is sanctioning the mass killing of helpless baby harp seals.
Sign PETA's worldwide petition to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper demanding an end to the slaughter of seals!
