Obama White House Fails to Stand up for Bats
"With nearly 7 million bats dead from the terrible disease
white-nose syndrome, the Obama administration is not moving fast enough to
stem its spread across the country. That's why on Wednesday the Center for
Biological Diversity filed a national petition urging the White House to tell
federal land-management agencies to limit human entry into caves to help stop
the disease's spread to the West."

EPA Lets Wildlife, Human Lead
Poisoning Continue
Obama Administration fails to oppose
NRA bill
"Millions of birds die every year due to secondary lead
poisoning from lead bullets and shot: It's a fact. But the Environmental
Protection Agency refuses to regulate the toxic lead in hunting ammunition
despite two petitions from the Center for Biological Diversity and 150 allied
groups asking for a switch to nontoxic ammo. Bald eagles, highly endangered
California condors, swans and many other species of birds are exposed to lead
and poisoned by ingesting spent lead shot or scavenging carcasses with lead
bullet fragments. People (especially children) who eat game shot with lead
ammo risk serious health effects from lead poisoning.
Despite the hard facts about the dangers of lead, the NRA is now jumping in
with a bill in the House of Representatives that would stop a key
environmental law from protecting animals from lead poisoning in the wild.
There's no reason not to save wildlife from these painful deaths: There are
plenty of non-lead, nontoxic ammunition on the market today."
