NEWS FOR CAT LOVERS
===================================
U.S. Postmaster General John E. Potter unveiled the "Animal
Rescue: Adopt a Shelter Pet" commemorative postage
stamps and announced the "Stamps to the Rescue"
promotional campaign.
"These stamps continue a Postal Service tradition of
bringing attention to serious social issues of the day," said
Potter. "This campaign will increase public awareness about
sheltered pets and our hope is that it will encourage pet
adoption and promote humane and responsible pet care."
The stamps were introduced to the public on The Ellen
DeGeneres Show... and will be available by April 30.
The stamps can be pre-ordered at stampstotherescue.com,
usps.com/shop, or by calling 1.800.STAMP.24 (1.800.782.6724).
------------------------
Tiger populations continue to decline worldwide, due to
increasing activity by illegal crime rings dealing in tiger
parts, as well as bear, rhino and elephant. The global black
market in wildlife products is worth about $10 billion per year,
making wildlife the third most valuable illegal commodity after
drugs and weapons.
