I speak now because I agree with Dante that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those that, in a time of moral crisis, maintain their moral neutrality-Martin Luther King Jr.

Heroes
Anyone who dedicates their life to saving the planet one ecosystem or one species at a time. All the conservationists of the past and those presently working to save the environment or increasing awareness of what is truly going on. All activists and protesters who refuse to accept the exploitation of non-human animals and who stand up and fight for the weak and the voiceless, who understand that all animals have the same feelings, the same fears, and have the same right to live free without being caged and tortured. Captain Paul Watson and the Sea Shepherd volunteers who are risking their lives right now to protect the whales from the (illegal) Japanese industry because the governments are to cowardice to uphold their own law. GO GET EM!!!!
About me: Born in the mountains of west Texas, I spent the first few years of my life sharing my backyard with the local mountain lion population before moving to Nashville, Tennessee. My experiences with the big cats as a child are what helped to create my intense passion for wildlife conservation and desire to protect cougars, a keystone species in the environment. As well as being a conservationist, I am a field biologist, zoologist, and ecologist, with a background in animal behavior, forestry, natural hazards in the environment, special problems in economic geography, environmental assessment, environmental management, as well as botany, geology, and meteorology. I believe that Earth and it's wildlife are under more pressure right now then ever before. We MUST do everything we can to protect the biodiversity that remains. After all, even excluding climate change, human beings have already caused the 6th largest wave of biological extinctions the earth has ever known(the last one being 65 million years ago)simply on account of the destruction of habitat and pollution we habitually cause. It is imperative we stop this continuing cycle of destruction for the sake of the rest of the life we share the planet with. Why is it that humans believe the anthropocentric ideology that it is man's god-given right to exploit resources and those weaker than he is for things like profits and economic gain, yet it is egocentric to say that those activities have consequences when not handled responsibly? I will never understand. ANYWAY, I'm also crazy in love with rock climbing and caving. If I don't do them, I shrivel up and die!! I'm afraid I'm one of those adrenalin junkies, but I can't help it if that's the only way to calm my jangled nerves. I'm simply not satisfied with normal or safe. Some of my friends describe me as crazy, but I say NAY! I just get excited about the next big adventure, especially if it's, well, a lil bit dangerous. But I don't think that makes me crazy. Intrepid is more what I would call it. I love animals, especially kitties! Anyway, I guess that's the basics...I think I'm fun...

On September 14, 2007, Wisconsin activst Amy Burns sent out a circular urging her readers to go to the Baltimore Sun to join in what is destined to be one of its hottest forums ever, a war of minds over the "sport" of hunting, with emphasis on bow-hunting. While her readers began pondering, comments from the pro-hunting side came in hard and fast. "America's most-hated Anti" Anthony Marr jumped in head first, and so did leading anti-huntresses Tierra and Mamasita. Amazingly, the battle is still raging as we speak, more than two years later in November 23, 2009! The total number of comments so far has exceeded 93,000, and growing. This is a phenomenon, and destined to be a classic, not to be missed if you care about animals at all.
Calcutta sounds like a fable in a song, but in reality, it is where John, my colleague and successor, was murdered. He was on the job for only three days when he got his throat slashed. As an undercover investigator targeting the illegal wildlife trade, especially in tiger parts, his real name was unknown, even to me, nor mine to him. We were just John and James to each other. All I know is that he was Chinese American, while his predecessor James - real name Anthony Marr - is Chinese Canadian, and how sincere he was in helping to save the Bengal tiger from being poached out of existence, while its habitat continues to dwindle due to human pressure...
We do have a barbarian at the gate, a demon lurking in the ground, frozen there for eons, now being thawed and released into the living world, where it will roast life alive. If you want to really scare yourself silly, watch this 50 minute video in one go. Turn off the light, and the phone..

When I was in Africa a couple of decades ago, I camp for a stretch in the territory of a lion pride comprised 3 males, 10 females and 22 cubs.
The 3 pride-males, named Agamemnon, Achilles and Hector (AAH), were about 6 years of age and very much in their prime. Their 22 cubs were thriving under their protection - protection against predators,
and the coalition of four 4-year-old prideless bachelors, who have been loitering in the neighborhood.
Due to the superior fighting prowess of AAH, they have kicked the butts of the Gang of Four (GOF), so far. If the GOF drove out or kills AAH, they would kill all their cubs so that the lionesses will have cubs bearing their genes. AAH will be able to repel GOF for another couple of years, which is a fairly stable long term scenario in lion terms. What was unforeseen was that a trophy hunter killed Achilles.
Now with only Agamemnon and Hector holding the fort, they were no match for the GOF. Valiantly, AH tried to defend their offspring, but it was a matter of fighting to the last cub before they both were killed. The 10 lionesses became the spoils of war. And so, a new leonine dynasty was born. But through it all, 25 lives were loss, all due to one single bullet fired by one egomaniacal trophy hunter. Shame on Safari Club International! And shame on you Mr. President, for support hunting.
Dolphin brains are larger than ours (1600 CC vs1450 CC). Who are we to say what they can or cannot think? Anthony Marr's latest creation: [Conversation with a Dolphin], was the jewel of last Friday's Animal Voices talkshow.
will be Anthony Marr's guests on Animal Voices this Friday, when we will be charting a course for humanity.

Which of the following 3 alternatives would you wish for these fawns?
If you prefer the 3rd alternative, please join the Anti-Hunting-Alliance (AHA) currently being forged by Heal Our Planet Earth (HOPE - www.HOPE-CARE.org), which initially will seek to accomplish the following:
1. Support local campaigns against the culling and bow-hunting of deer in urban, suburban and park environments.
2. Integrate the local deer-battles into a national Deer War.
3. Launch massive internet and media campaigns on local and national levels.
4. Launch federal-level class-action legal challenges against the state-level Hunter Harassment laws for violating the freedom of speech and property rights of non-hunters and anti-hunters as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution (listen to the Jan Haagensen interview by Anthony Marr on Animal Voices in www.myspace.com/AnthonyMarr).
There will be a higher aim with the success of some or all of the above objectives: To terminate Recreational Hunting and Trophy Hunting, period.
Please contact Anthony Marr via MS messaging or email (Anthony-Marr@HOPE-CARE.org) and let's roll!
Autumn has always been loved. But lately, sadly, I've heard cries of "They've made me hate the fall!", due to the annual bloodbath of deer. To sooth your frazzled nerves, let me share with you [Nocturnal Meditation: a gift of peace] - music by Chopin (Nocturne in E-flat) and Massenet (Meditation, performed by Anne Sophie Mutter); photography by Anthony Marr. If you have already seen/heard it, be enchanted all over again, and pass it on.
Descending from the sublime to the ridiculous, a hunter addressed me as "Dear Rush Limbaugh of Animal Rights". Haha! No thanks. But if Limbaugh can do it on his medieval mindset, so can I on my futuristic one. This coming Friday, 3-4pm ET/12-1pm PT, on Animal Voices, I will just bare my soul, open my heart, and speak my mind. And you are invited to do likewise. Just call 1- 604- 684- 7561, and speak your mind.

Kristal Parks (www.PachydermPower.org) will be Anthony Marr's guest on Animal Voices this coming Friday, Sept. 11. To say that Kristal loves elephants is an understatement. To say that she is in love with them is to trivialize the profound. Her fate and the elephants' seem inextricably intertwined. She lives and breathes for the elephants. The following video will give you a glimpse of Kristal Parks..
