Urge Congress to Help Save Great Cats and Rare Canids!
Target: Your representative; Your senators
Sponsored by: Care2.com

Lions, leopards, jaguars, wolves - these magnificent and iconic species face numerous threats, including poaching, poisoning and habitat destruction. Around the world, our great carnivore populations are declining dramatically and they need our help.
Conservation-minded members of Congress have just reintroduced legislation to help protect great cats and canids around the world. The Great Cats and Rare Canids Act of 2007 would assist in the conservation of rare cat and canine populations outside the United States. This legislation covers 13 species of felids and canids, from the endangered Snow Leopard of Central Asia to the critically endangered Ethiopian Wolf.
This legislation is modeled after the highly successful Multinational Species Conservation Funds (MSCF), which provide critical funding for species such as tigers, elephants, and rhinos. The Great Cats and Rare Canids Act would create an additional fund to augment the MSCF, thus expanding the United States' global conservation work to include conservation of imperiled cats and canids.
Sign this petition to ask your senators and representative to support the Great Cats and Rare Canids Act of 2007!

Be a cool cat Congressperson and support protecting Big Cats who are endangered. Every being is part of the delicate ecosystem and deserves to be preserved. Even us. "Meow!"

Please protect the Big Cats before they become endangered. Their decline in population effects the eco system. We can't afford to not take care of our enviornment.

I have been a cat lover all my life, and this is a very important issue for me, and should be for the entire world. Big cats are such an important part of the whole circle of life, and to neglect their preservation would be a significant injustice not only to them but to the entire animal kingdom, and to the earth as a whole. Please please support the Great Cats and Rare Canids Act today!
