    Tune in and turn on!
    Wed. Feb.27th on PBS: New National Geographic Special “Battle for the Elephants”
    “If the current situation remains the status quo, we are facing the very real possibility that elephants living in the wild will go extinct in the coming decades,” said John Heminway, writer, producer and director of “Battle for the Elephants.” “In Africa, wildlife conservationists, particularly in Kenya, are risking their lives to protect these animals, but they are losing the fight. The market for smuggled ivory is too lucrative for poachers to resist, and our research suggests demand for ivory in China is only going to rise.”
    “There’s no more important and timely story of the plight of wildlife than ‘Battle for the Elephants,’” said Beth Hoppe, chief programming executive and general manager of general audience programming at PBS. “How we regulate the sale of ivory can potentially determine whether wild elephants live or become extinct. This is a critical piece of documentary journalism that will hopefully help raise significant awareness of the issue for people throughout the world.”

    I am a vegetarian, lover of animals, supporter of positive acts; i feel strongly about freedom , and NeverShoutNever is my music and I'm very open-minded :D

  • veganvixen

    As an eclectic Wiccan, I respect and worship nature and do my best to preserve its beauty. With this worship comes the respect for Mother Earth's creatures, and I have chosen a vegan path in order to lessen the suffering.

    Yeah... I already graduated college, but I never left school! I've been a teacher ever since! Right now I'm in Taiwan teaching English to sweet kids, and of course I always share the message of compassion towards animals with them.

    Ello All. ♥ I never am really quite sure what to say in this section of any of my profile's I've had on social networks... No matter what I put I feel like your never going to get an accurate depiction of who it is I am unless you really get to know me.

  • cassady-lynn

    I was born October 20th, 1997. I am still alive today, although I may die tomorrow. This is the story of life, & relatively, my life.

    Confused???

  • winerycow

    Im 17 years old about to turn 18. I have been vegetarian since I could remember. Tried meat for a year when I was about 14 and then stopped. I drink wine every once in a while if you were wondering about my profile pic. Yes I am classy like that. Anyway, stop animal cruelty and support gay rights and marriage equality!
