by Carmen Durante / AZ Daily Star

The Arizona Daily Star filed a lawsuit Wednesday in federal court against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service seeking the criminal investigation documents into the capture and death of a jaguar known as Macho B.

The jaguar died in March 2009 after it was captured in Southern Arizona by state Department of Game and Fish employees who were doing a joint bear-mountain lion study with the wildlife service, according to the lawsuit.

What happened to Macho B. is criminal. I'm glad people have resigned but we that won't bring the last jaguar in America back to life. That won't undo the horrific suffering he went through in that trap and before he died. Damn them all.

I wish I could do more, but think I'd not be of much help since I'm in Oklahoma. If I can help please let me know how

The Significance and Importance of Idle No More

Reblogged from sovereignvoices1:

Over the past few decades, I have witnessed several kinds of activist' movements that inspired me to become the advocate I am today.  As a child I watched in awe Martin Luther King, the Civil Rights movement in the US and then as a youth, the American Indian Movement.  When I came to understand what these meant, I took an interest in educating myself of the many efforts of our Onkwehón:we ancestors whose strength and perseverance, inspires our resistance today.

For those who want to learn more about the Idle No More movement that has now spread beyond Canada. Indigenous people as far away as New Zealand are in solidarity with Canada's First Nations. The Prime Minister, Harper may have awoken a sleeping giant; one that needed awakening.

Guns, Guns and More Guns

Reblogged from Exposing the Big Game:

We Americans sure love our guns. Big ones, small ones, single shot or semi-automatic, antiques or shiny new ones. This year’s Black Friday gun sales set an all-time record (The FBI said it received 154,873 calls for background checks for new gun purchases on Nov. 23, a marked increase over the agency's previous record number of calls: 129,166 last year. The bureau was so overwhelmed with calls that outages occurred at some centers).

Senator Inhofe And The Heartland Institute Roll Out Underwhelming Campaign To Slash The EPA

Oklahoma Senator Inhofe is up to his same old, goofy tricks. However; I don’t think it will work. This man is such a slug. Please Senator Inhofe, go find someone other country to slime.

These are the three videos posted to the internet of the gray wolf executed while in a trap. As you see this sadist took the time to videotape this wolf in the trap howling, barking, and crying until the killer decided to pose for the kill shot.

All videos used under Fair Use Doctrine. Please share these along with the videos posted last night.

This sadistic trapping of wolves MUST stop. The sadistic SOB video tapped this wolf suffering in this trap. Who is breeding these sadists?

Delineated Indian

Oh God, here I stand.
I’ve forgotten to talk in a tongue
of a language long dead.

~

I watch them wrap
a bone and bead choker
around their throats,
audacious about their ancestry.
The proof is on the card
stored in the wallet of the wannabe,
This is my descendency.
I bleed your blood, too.

Shaking shells on pow-wow road,
full-bloods need no card
to dance their proof of permanence
onto the ground of their grandfathers’ wars.
They sing songs that rise
through the bones of their being.
If you dare approach,
they’ll tell you they dropped
down the birth canal
with porcupine quills
strapped to their heads,
and an eagle feather bustle
tied to their butts.
Their eyes smile when wannabes
believe their stories.

It’s the half-breed
who learned to carry
a dagger in each hand.
One for the red; One for the White
Accepted and denied equally by both sides,
she weaves along fence lines
that delineates between Indians.

There’s never enough blood to satisfy history;
and always too much to be freed completely.

~

Oh God, make me blind
to the day when I’ll bleed
the last bit of Indian out of me.
