An opinion piece published yesterday in the #BillingsGazette explores #CodyRoberts ' #torture of a young female #wolf in Daniel, #Wyoming. By now, most of you have heard the news or seen the disturbing photos and videos. We remain disgusted by the #cruelty, as does our partner and op-ed author #JeffEwelt.
In his op-ed, Jeff Ewelt, the Executive Director of #ZooMontana and a partner of The #RelistWolves Campaign,
#NorthernTerritory (NT) waters make up the last global stronghold for endangered #sawfish and one of the world's rarest shark species, the #RiverShark. Four of the world's five sawfish species and two of the world's five river shark species call NT waters home.
Right now, sawfish and river sharks are not protected from commercial #gillnets in their #CriticalHabitat along the coastlines of major river systems in the NT.
The Daly River is home to one of the world's very few known #nurseries of critically #endangered#FreshwaterSawfish. It's at this time of year (wet season) that they're the most exposed, as they spend time near the river mouth giving birth to #pups and #breeding.
Not sure why we needed a new study to tell us this. Anyone who has #dogs can tell you all about how their #pups know exactly where all the #food is. One time my #dog found a #chickenNugget under this one bush on our regular route. He makes a beeline for the bush every time we go out. It's been 5 years. 🐕
