Household Toxics Reach Babies Even in Womb, Researchers Find

It is one of the worst nightmares for a mother-to-be: She’s poisoning the baby in her belly, and there is little she can do about it.

Now new research out Tuesday has put hard numbers to those fears, showing that chemicals from everyday products contaminate women’s bodies, and that their children enter the world already exposed to known toxics.

Nine women from California, Oregon and Washington participated in the first-of-its-kind study and had blood and urine samples taken during their second trimester of pregnancy. Read More

Help Stop the Alaska Wolf Massarce

Wolf packs in Alaska again face savage slaughter from death squads using helicopters and airplanes to kill these helpless animals.

Please help Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund win the Congressional votes we need to end this unnecessary and cruel practice once and for all.

More than 1,000 wolves have been shot dead by aerial shooters who chase the poor animals to exhaustion in the deep snow. The animals are shot from the air and left wounded to die a slow and agonizing death or pursued and shot at point-blank range after the plane has landed.

We’ve had success telling this horrible story to more and more representatives and senators and securing their votes for the Protect America’s Wildlife (PAW) Act — H.R. 3381 and S. 1535 — federal legislation to end Alaska’s awful, unscientific and unnecessary aerial wolf killing and prevent this brutal practice from spreading to other states.

Our vote count stands at 121 representatives and 4 senators. But with another deadly aerial wolf killing season on the horizon, we must redouble our efforts to get the votes to stop it.

Donate today to help save the lives of wolves from Alaska’s aerial wolf-killing programs.

Your donation today will help us convince Congress to pass the PAW Act and educate more Americans about the awful practice championed by former Governor Sarah Palin. 

Palin’s handpicked Board of Game has escalated the aerial killing of wolves, and we need your help to mobilize more citizens (we’ve already generated tens of thousands of messages to senators) to win passage of the PAW Act and stop brutal and unnecessary aerial wolf killing.

To make sure these voices are heard, our staff will be collecting messages from constituents and delivering them in personal meetings with representatives and senators. We will dedicate literally hundreds of work hours in the coming weeks to this important effort.

Will you help support our work to save these magnificent wolves?

Our wolves don’t have a voice, but Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund does. With your help, we can ensure that the story of these magnificent animals is heard on Capitol Hill. Please make your contribution to save wolves today. 

For the wild ones,

 

Rodger Schlickeisen President Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund

P.S. Aerial gunners will soon be taking to the sky in helicopters and airplanes to slaughter defenseless wolves. With your help, we can end this cruel and unnecessary killing by passing the PAW Act. Please make a secure donation online now.

Dads and Homeschooling

I am wanting some advice. Maybe some of the veteran homeschoolers can help me. I have been homeschooling my boys for 4 years now. I have loved every minute of it. My only problem is trying to get my husband involved. I have asked for his input on what he wants for our boys (course of study, activities, future plans, etc.). His answer is always “You are doing a good job. I trust you.”. While I appreciate the vote of confidence on his part, I would love to have his input on what he wants. He never asks what they are learning or how is their work going. So how do you all get your husbands involved in homeschooling? I especially think with sons that his involvement could help me. Any suggestions?” – Dena Read More
