Save Africa's Great Cats and Rare Canids
Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: African Wildlife Foundation
Sponsored by: African Wildlife Foundation
Africa's predators are under siege. Beset by habitat fragmentation, loss of prey and humans protecting their livestock -- their populations are plummeting.
No more than 23,000 lions now survive in the African wild. African wild dogs have been wiped out in some areas, and the Ethiopian wolf is on the verge of extinction.
The need for conservation of Africa's great predators is urgent -- many other animals depend on them directly or indirectly for survival. That's why your support is required for the Great Cats and Rare Canids Act. The bill will assist with the conservation of over a dozen critically imperiled species around the world threatened by habitat loss, poaching, disease, pollution and human-wildlife conflict.
Urge your senators to support the Great Cats and Rare Canids Act.

I have no chances to become a senator or any kind of authority member so I cannot do much more than sign a petition. Therefore, to all who have power, please do something good for these species!

These beautiful creatures have more right to their habitats than we do. The wild cats are breath taken and our future generations should get to experiance them first hand not just by reading about them in books.

Africa's great cats and rare canines are losing ground in the conservation battle. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, Ethiopian wolves and wild dogs play critical roles in African ecosystems, but their future is uncertain due to loss of habitat, disease and conflict with their human neighbors. National parks and other protected areas play a critical role, but many of these animals live outside of parks. To survive, predators must have room to roam and hunt without clashing with human communities. That's why I urge you to support for the Great Cats and Rare Canids Act. It recently was approved by the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, and would assist in the conservation of over a dozen critically imperiled species around the world currently threatened by habitat loss, poaching, disease, pollution and human-wildlife conflict.

I believe you should support it for the future kids of America. I know I would hate to have a child born into a world without wild animals to learn about. It would be a shame to take away some the world's most beautiful animals because people want to build more homes..SAVE THE CATS!

Animals have to kill to survive. There are many ways to kill. Negligence is one of them. What is our excuse?

Have you ever seen the look in a child's eye as they see one of God's magnificent creatures, like the lion, for the first time? If so you will know why it is so important to preserve these gorgeous gifts from God for future generations.

These rare and beautiful animals belong to all of us. To loose these wild creatures and the land they need to live would be horrible. Support this Act herein.

These beautiful cats need their own space to survive and need some caring humans to be their voice.

Great cats especially have been recently been shown to help slow down the spread of various human diseases by preying upon those herbivores that would carry these diseases. Also, controlling the numbers of these herbivores also help prevent erosion, which is ever so destructive as many who live among the carnivores are farmers or workers of livestock.
