New Petitions to Sign This Week: Demand Authorities Protect Right Whales, Help Support Successful Anti-Poaching Program in Zambia, Help Revoke the License of a Cruel Wildlife Photography Farm, and More!

Unfortunately, the world is not a very peaceful or safe place for many individuals. From conflict to abuse to exploitation, there is so much cruelty inflicted on both humans and animals. While this can get disheartening and difficult to hear, petitions are a great way to use your voice for good. Just by signing one, you are a part of helping those who are not treated fairly. You can even share them with friends and acquaintances to increase your impact.

Through petitions, we can reach those in power and demand justice for others. They are valuable tools for making positive changes in the world. If you are looking for a way to help animals and humans, here are six petitions you should sign this week, including Demand Authorities Protect Right Whales, Help Support Successful Anti-Poaching Program in Zambia, and Help Revoke the License of a Cruel Wildlife Photography Farm.

We want to thank you for being the change you wish to see in the world and giving a voice to the voiceless.

1. Demand Authorities Protect Right Whales

The tragedy befalling North Atlantic right whales is spiraling out of control. Most recently, a female right whale was found dead and floating in Virginia’s coastal waters.

To make matters worse, this dead whale had given birth earlier this year — that calf is now an orphan, and experts say she probably won’t survive without her mother.

Please sign this petition to demand the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) do more to protect right whales!

2. Help Ensure Wildlife Agencies Give Wildlife a Chance to Survive and Thrive

Two young mountain lions nearly faced their doom recently near a water reservoir in Colorado. The pair were huddled together in a spillway directly below the Vallecito Reservoir, not realizing they were trapped in a very dangerous situation.

A dam tender for the local irrigation district was just about to release roaring, rushing waters from the reservoir into the spillway – when luckily he noticed the two large kittens. He quickly called wildlife authorities, who rushed to the scene to save the mountain lions’ lives.

This man and the wildlife officers involved are heroes and deserve commendations for their incredible rescue operation! Other agencies should take note of their work to save these majestic animals – rather than condemning them to death as predators.

Please sign this petition to celebrate the Colorado wildlife officers’ work and urge other agencies to follow suit.

3. Help Support Successful Anti-Poaching Program in Zambia

In the heart of Zambia’s Lower Zambezi National Park, the country’s pioneering all-women anti-poaching unit has not only made strides in wildlife Conservation but has also created profound social change. This program’s success in empowering women and protecting our precious wildlife is a model of environmental and social triumph. We now call upon the Zambian Government, the Ministry of Tourism and Arts, and the Department of National Parks and Wildlife to recognize this success by providing essential funding and Support to expand this program.

Please sign this petition to urge Zambia’s government to invest in the growth and sustainability of this empowering initiative.

4. Help Hold YouTubers Accountable for Harming Monkeys

In the shadow of Cambodia’s majestic Angkor temples, a distressing scene unfolds: wild macaques are subjected to abuse and exploitation by YouTubers wanting to profit from their interactions with these intelligent animals. One heart-wrenching video captures a baby monkey, clearly distressed, struggling to escape as it is mishandled for the sake of entertainment. This is just one instance of the growing problem of wildlife abuse at the Angkor UNESCO World Heritage Site, driven by the quest for online views and revenue.

Please sign this petition to demand authorities implement stricter regulations and serious consequences for those exploiting these monkeys.

5. Call on Companies to Go Carbon Neutral

A new study just revealed that 80% of Climate change-causing emissions come from just 57 companies around the world. Chevron, ExxonMobile, BP, Aramco, Gazprom, and the National Iranian Oil Company are several of the largest contributors to continually skyrocketing greenhouse gasses.

As a result, each of these companies has tremendous power to help us fight the deadly and intensifying effects of Climate change – and with great power comes great responsibility!

Please sign this petition to demand that these companies commit to going carbon-neutral to fight Climate change and save our world!

6. Help Revoke the License of a Cruel Wildlife Photography Farm

Amid the scenic beauty of Montana, a dark secret lurks within Triple D Wildlife, a photography game farm. While the organization has a positive reputation for “authentic” wildlife photography experiences, it seems that countless animals have suffered from animal cruelty and neglect. Despite its alarming history, the facility continues to operate legally, with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) renewing its license even amid ongoing investigations. It’s time for the USDA to stop looking the other way and take action.

Please sign this petition to demand the USDA revoke Triple D Wildlife’s license, effectively putting an end to their ongoing animal cruelty!
