The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS): Tell Petland to Stop Selling Puppies — Watch This Video, Then Take Action
America’s largest chain of puppy-selling pet stores, Petland Inc., is also the nation’s largest retail supporter of puppy mills. An eight-month investigation by The HSUS reveals that many Petland stores across the country are marketing puppy mill puppies to unsuspecting consumers. Watch our video; then tell Petland to get out of the puppy-selling business.

National Wildlife Federation (NWF): Urge the EPA to Take Action on Global Warming!
For years, the EPA has refused to crack down on global warming pollution. Due to a Supreme Court ruling the EPA is now asking for public comment on a simple question: Do greenhouse gases that cause global warming endanger public health and welfare? NWF believes there is no greater threat to wildlife and people than global warming. Let the EPA know you agree! Don’t let corporate polluters have the only voice.

The Wilderness Society: Applaud Congress for Holding the Line on Arctic Refuge Drilling
The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge survived many attacks during the 110th Congress. No fewer than 24 drilling proposals were put forward, and each time, supporters like you urged Congress to continue to protect the Refuge. Thanks to you, Congress refused to capitulate to the demands of Big Oil. Now it’s very important for the Refuge that Congress knows how important their actions were to Americans and how thankful we are that they kept this national treasure safe from drilling.
