We will pledge $1,000,000,000 to Wildlife each year!

That is right. We intend to pledge 1 million dollars to wildlife each year. This distrubution will go to five different charities. All under different cataegories as follows: Marine Life, Wildlife, Domestic Animal Abuse, Animal Rights, and one enviromental ( that helps keep wildlife land reserved for the wild.)

You may ask why I am doing this pledge? Frankly, because I am very angry at the stupidity of humankind in reference to how we treat wildlife. We have sent thousands of species into extinction. When will it stop?

I went to a search engine. Read some various articles about wildlife endangerment, organizations, and so on. Then I just happened to search on animal abuse. Thinking I would find charity organizations. I found that and even more than I wanted. There were a couple of sites dedicated to the prosecution of offenders of whom cruelly abused or destroyed animals for entertainment. Folks, these stories are too horrific to be shared here. Abuse of all types of animals from dogs to horses to chimpanzees!

To say the least, it got me fired up. I can't imagine the suffering that these animals had to endure. If that was done to a human, the offender would have been locked up for life. But prosecutors in various states sometimes refuse to prosecute! And the Clinton Administration is relaxing the dolphin safe standards. You can read all about this on the link to marine life. And the World Trade Organization is pushing to open up Whaling to an even higher degree. Why? Because some whale species are back to normal. Nevermind that most are still endangered. And the Japanese are killing sharks by the thousands. For Shark Fin Soup! Not only predatory (although necessary) but gentle sharks such as hammerheads too. They cut off all the fins (Dorsal, tail, flukes) and throw them back in the water still alive only to drown. They take nothing but the fins!

How you can help:

1. Get educated on these practices and write to your legislators. Tell them how you feel. You will find some links will allow you to generate letters in your name and they will send them for you. You may not think it will make a difference, but it will. Everyone's participation will help.

2. Visit our website and become a patron of ours which allows for a contribution to wildlife charity organizations. Visit the featured Widlife and Marine Life links too.

To be honest, we had originally just thought to dontate to these charities on behalf of our company. About $500 here and there. But after our research, we saw the light. We have now changed our business practices. We intend to do much more than that and we will be very active in wildlife conservation.

We have now created a website to go live on July 5th, 1999. This Tuesday coming up. On it you will find links to various wildlife sites. We have a unique business site because we offer cellular phone products. Is that unique? Nope. What is unique is our open display of our support to wildlife organizations. Our site has been set up to allow anyone to purchase nearly any cellular product they need. We will be adding more products every week until we have everything listed.

And yes, we will be offering only top quality products at very good prices. We have to look out for not only the interest of our customers but that of our wildlife as well.

With that, we will be offering contributions to charity organizations due to your purchases and patronage. And if you are a die hard advocate of wildlife as we are, you can also become an affiliate of our cellular phone products program. The more purchases made the faster we can reach our 1 million dollar pledge. And please tell everyone you know about our site.

Even if they do not wish to make a purchase or become an affilliate, they can go to these sites and make individual pledges themselves. Or write a letter to their legistative representative. Remember, you can make a difference.

Best Regards,

William Evans

Rich,

You can count on it. We will do all in our power to reach this goal as quickly as possible. The sooner the better. We are now well aware of the fact that the wildlife and domestic animals desperately need our assistance.

We can only hope that our patrons and our affiliates will be as agressive in pursuing this goal as we will be doing. As soon as resources permit, we intend to be very active in the pursuit of wildlife conservation in a variety of forms.

we all should get together and help

If you are seriously concerned about stopping extinction the money would be better and more efficiently used to purchase sport hunting and fishing licenses. Then the funds would go to wildlife research, conservation measures, population studies, land purchases, and other actual factors that contribute to wildlife population enhancement... instead of merely lining the pockets of a few private individuals.

Brilliant idea! Give more money to government agencies and buerocrats.. I suspect his taxes already support enough grand government programs. The private environmental groups are far more efficient, since they have accountability to their contributers.

conservation or environmental sound in my opinion. Sport killers are not worth supporting.<<<

It is sports hunting that is directly responsible for saving more species from extinction, and is the number one source for habitat restoration (the single most critical element in wildlife protection) in the United States. Like it or not.

Managing wildlife simply to allow people to kill them for sport is not conservation or environmental sound in my opinion. Sport killers are not worth supporting.

Bullsh*t.

If all the bucks the killers...er..hunters paid to the gov for hunting licences went directly to private conservation groups instead you would see a lot more done that what the government does with it. I'll wager the Nature Conservancy alone could manage the habitat better than it is being done now. 'course, then the big brave hunters couldn't get all bloody, could they?
