two shooters per team.  Quail Unlimited is a national nonprofit

at [phone].

All persons concerned about Nadas and the other Oregon dogs condemned to die
for chasing livestock,  should know that there now an electronic method of appealing
to Governor John Kitzhaber to intervene and spare their lives.

THERE ARE LESS THAN 10 DAYS REMAINING BEFORE NADAS IS SCHEDULED TO
DIE

The Governor now has a web page for registering opinions.  It is at:

http://www.governor.state.or.us/governor/mail/mailform.html

Please forward this information on to all concerned.

For background information, visit http://www.arkonline.com/nadas.htm

Below is a sample posting to the governor from an Oregon resident.
Incidently, this is an election year and the governor recently announced
his candidacy for re-election:

---------------------------------------------------------

I voted for you last time.  I cannot this year.  Your continued
refusal to deal with the Nadas situation in Southern Oregon
demonstrates a lack of leadership.  This is an issue that has been
tearing that community apart.  The Jackson County Commissioners are
one sided and cannot handle it.  The dog was taken from the owner's home
without a warrant.  You should be able to intervene on that basis and
revoke the order of impoundment.  This matter has extreme public
interest both inside and outside of the state, and it is giving Oregon
a black eye.

Please demonstrate some leadership and get involved.  This is more
important that worrying about offending certain limited livestock
interests.

The real issue here is the failure of government to build consensus
and help citizens come to compromised solutions.  By turning your back
on this you are aggravating an inflamed situation that has become
extremely emotional in nature.  Please get involved and do the right
thing, rather than blaming the legislature or the courts.

Environmentalists praise industry for change of heart
By Greg Neale, Environment Correspondent

LEADING industrialists - usually blamed for pollution and ravaging the
planet's natural resources - are becoming the people most likely to save
it, according to one of the world's most respected environmental analysts.

In its annual State of the World report, the influential Washington-based
Worldwatch Institute singles out BP, among other companies, for praise.
Lester Brown, the institute's president, said yesterday that recent moves
by heads of some of the world's biggest multi-national companies were among
"the most exciting" developments in the 15 years of his organisation.

"We have to think about restructuring the global economy so that progress
can continue, because if we keep expanding the existing system it will
eventually undermine itself," Dr Brown said. "The exciting thing, the good
news, is that the chief executives of some of the major multi-national
companies are now saying the same thing: the system has to change."

The report says that moves by BP to invest in solar and wind energy; the
decision by the American company Monsanto to sell its chemical pesticides
division in favour of new genetics technologies; and the Japanese motor
company Toyota's launch of a 66mpg car are significant signs of change by
industrial giants.

John Browne, the chairman of BP, said last year that his firm accepted that
burning fossil fuels was linked to changes in the Earth's climate - the
first such acknowledgment by the head of an oil company. BP is now
investing large sums in solar and wind energy. But while the report hails
such developments, it notes that some major environmental trends continue
to disturb: "Fishery collapses, deforestation and aquifer depletion are now
beginning to affect global economic prospects. Economies will not be
healthy for long unless the natural environments that underpin them remain
healthy as well."

In its review of the indicators of the Earth's environmental health, drawn
