Your 5 Minute Activist Links for March 23, 2008

** The Petition Site **
The violence against protesters, monks and civilians in Tibet is quickly escalating as the deadly crackdown continues. This week, overwhelmed by the violence affecting innocent civilians, the Dalai Lama said he would resign as leader of the Tibetan government-in-exile "if things become out of control." We can't remain silent while these abuses are taking place. Take action to stand with the people of Tibet.

** Defenders of Wildlife **
The Yukon Flats National Wildlife Refuge -- a pristine conservation area adjacent to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska -- is one of the greatest waterfowl breeding areas in North America.
Take action now to protect these birds and other species from new oil and gas operations that could wreck important habitat..

** Humane Society **
Disgusting perverts in Canada are preparing for the 2008 seal hunt. They are going to murder over 275,000 BABY seals. It's appalling that civilized society continue this barbaric practice for seal skin. Contact the Canadian Minister of International Trade and tell the bastard to end the seal hunt.
