FOR ANY READERS WHO HAPPEN TO BE IN NEW YORK AT THE END OF THE MONTH
Coney Island, New York-An Action to Stop the Sale of Frogs Legs
Join us at Nathan's Famous restaurant on Saturday, April 30.
SAVE THE FROGS! (http://www.savethefrogs.com/) and the New York Turtle and Tortoise Society are organizing a Save the Frogs Day protest rally at the original Nathan's Famous restaurant, home of the hot dog eating contest-and wild-caught Cambodian and Japanese frog legs. Nathan's Famous has been contributing to the decline of frog populations by selling frog legs at its Coney Island location for the last 50 years.
Nathan's President (Wayne Orbitz) earns over $460,000 per year, but claims the company would "suffer an economic hardship" if they removed frog legs from the menu of their Coney Island location. Nathan's has over 270 locations, and only its Coney Island location sells frog legs. As Nathan's is known for its hot dogs and French fries, and can afford to pay both its President and CEO salaries of over $460,000 each, it is extremely unlikely that the company would suffer any economic hardships if they remove frog legs from their Coney Island menu.
Join us at the Coney Island Nathan's location on April 30 from 11 am to 2 pm and help us ensure that Nathan's employees and patrons make the responsible decision to stop contributing to worldwide frog extinctions. More details coming soon on www.savethefrogs.com and www.nytts.org.
If you would like to join us, please e-mail Kay Martin, kaymartin_civetta@yahoo.com, to let us know you plan to attend.

OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's News Today
http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/
On this day in 2010 the Deepwater Horizon oil-platform exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, resulting in one of the worst environmental disasters in America's history.
And now, the news:
Kakapo's future may lie with ailing chick
Let wonderfully weird kakapo die - scientist
Leads on rare sighting of kokako sought
Feathers tell century-plus tale of mercury polluti...
Normally at this point I'd pop up a link to a video vaguely related to the last news story but Because of yesterday's sad news about the death of Elisabeth Sladen here's a tribute to her work on Doctor Who as Sarah Jane Smith:
