I hope you get a feeling about the personalities of the Sea Turtles I have shown here. They are a wonderful part of nature, and they are part of our heritage on this earth. Unfortunatley their lives are in a precarious position right now because of the lobbying interests of commercial fishing and petroleum groups. And the equally evil contingent of politicians who represent these rapists of the environment, most notably one Senator Slade Gorton.

If you can find any compassion in your heart for endangered species, then I urge you, please, click into our mirror of the Turtle Trax web site which Peter Bennet and Ursula have been kind enough to let us use. Read about how Senator Gorton wants to change the Environmental Protection act in a few months from now, so that the killing of turtles in pursuit of the commercial harvest of fish or petroleum IS OKAY!!!! It would seem that Gorton is attempting to pave the way for the extinction of the Sea Turtle in our life time. After you read this material about Gorton and the legislation he is attempting, we have an e-mail form with a pre-written letter for you to use or modify, add your name to and then press the send button to deliver our message to the U.S. Senators who can make a difference. We will also carbon copy this all these e-mails into a holding area where we can print them out and deliver them to CNN and other TV news stations.

So please click here now to read about this threat and what you can do!
