*[Enwl-eng] Only 50 of these whales are still living in the world. Republicans want to strip protections.

[ENWL]

 

We cannot sacrifice these amazing creatures. If Republicans Pass This Bill, The Last Living Rice's Whales Could Die Horrific Deaths      Sign Now        It's estimated that there are only about 50 Rice's whales left in the entire world. That number basically signals that if we don't do everything in our power to protect them, we will lose this entire species forever. Once an animal is extinct, there's no bringing it back.   So why are Republicans so insistent on passing HR 6008 that would basically ban protections for the Rice's whale? To make room for oil and gas extraction, that's why.   HR 6008 would make Endangered Species Act protections impossible for the Rice's whale, allowing the fossil fuel industry a free-for-all in these vulnerable animals' habitat. It would leave these intelligent creatures that often swim near the surface of the water incredibly vulnerable to ships crashing into them, along with suffocating oil spills and disruptive seismic blasts.   The oil and gas industry's presence in the Gulf of Mexico means torture and death for Rice's whales. We must bring our voices together and demand that House Republicans come to their senses and protect these aquatic mammals before it's too late — sign the petition! Thank you, Lauren Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Republicans want to sacrifice the habitat of this critically endangered whale to oil and gas drilling. Tell them: we say no.      Sign Now
