WatchdogMary has been getting a lot of complaints about the City of San Antonio Animal Care Services euthanizing dogs.The shelter killed 102 dogs in Sept. 2021. Many dogs were healthy and killed only because the shelter was full. Shelters in Texas kill more dogs than any other state. Shelters and rescue groups REALLY need fosters, adopters, and donations. The problem is not over.
If you want to help, contact your local shelter or a rescue group and ask how to get involved. If you want to see how many animals your local shelter or animal control is euthanizing, here's how: https://www.watchdogmary.com/pets-in-need

Topic will be: EATS Act (S. 2619/H.R. 4999), which is a federal bill that puts hundreds of animal cruelty laws at risk. Why it’s so dangerous and ways we can oppose it.
A monumental threat is facing animals in our country! Legislation was just introduced in the U.S. Congress that could be disastrous for animals.The EATS Act (S. 2619/H.R. 4999), is designed to wipe out state laws that ban the cruel cage confinement of egg-laying chickens, mother pigs and baby veal calves. If passed, it could also destroy hundreds of other protections against terrible cruelties—like abuse of dogs in puppy mills, killing of animals for the wildlife trade and painful experiments inflicted on animals for cosmetic testing.
TAKE ACTION
Please make a brief, polite phone call to your U.S. Senators and Representative now and urge them to oppose theEATS Act. 
Confronting cruelty. Giving farm animals a voice.

Animal Advocates Radio ”Voices Carry for Animals #328”- LEAP for Lucy

Hosted by Debbie Dahmer
Guest will be: Mary-Ann Holm - President & Campaign Coordinator at Lucy's Edmonton Advocates' Project

TOPIC: Update on Lucy the elephant at the Edmonton Valley Zoo - still waiting for sanctuary after 44 years (she's 46 years old, came there at 2 years of age)
Lucy the Elephant has been at the Edmonton Valley Zoo for 44 years and turns 46 this year.  This is an ominous milestone as zoo elephants rarely survive to their mid forties. Lucy suffers from a number of zoo induced ailments which will shorten her life expectancy. She has no other elephant companions, which is considered cruel by elephant experts due to their highly complex social needs. The harsh Edmonton climate is detrimental to her health and painful for her ongoing arthritis and foot disease. Lucy lives in a tiny concrete cell and is only allowed outdoors for short controlled walks, weather permitting many days she never gets out at all.
With each passing year, Lucy’s condition deteriorates and this makes the prospect of moving her more difficult. We urge the City of Edmonton and the Valley Zoo to let Dr. Young be part of the decision process through a hands-on evaluation. Lucy could have many good years ahead of her at the Tennessee Elephant Sanctuary.

TAKE ACTION HERE>> https://www.change.org/p/marr-plan
Topic: The Pony Express relay has been postponed till next spring.Instead,the Lady Godiva relay will be ON - Sacramento (Oct 15th). Reno/Carson-City (Oct. 16), Salt Lake City (Oct. 18), Cheyenne (Oct. 23),Denver (Oct. 24),Richmon-DC (Oct. 30) Phoenix (Nov. 6).
The MARR-PLANwill end helicopter roundups, wild horse captivity and the specter of slaughter once and for all, release most of the captive horses, and close the expensive holding facilities, thus SAVING the wasted $70 million per year of BLM's $80 million regular annual budget currently spent on helicopter roundups and running the totally pointless holding facilities.
In sharp contrast, the current BLM policy - the so-called "Path Forward" - requires rounding up 15,000-20,000 wild horses per year for years to come.
