Possums Provide Potential End To Disease?

July 12, 2012

(ANIMAL NEWS) — Will possums soon be able to cause immortality amongst us humans? Not quite, but the protein they produce, LTNF, has been proven to seek out and neutralize deadly poisons in the body. Tests have been done on just one other type of animal, mice, and the protein was able to kill off the diseases and fortunately leave the mice completely unharmed. While this animal testing was conducted more than ten years ago, animal rights activists lie baffled as journalists continue to ponder whether or not this creature could provide a whole new world for humans, and the tests live on.  — Global Animal

New Rule Offers Clarity For Endangered Species

December 12, 2011

(ANIMAL RIGHTS) WASHINGTON — A new rule proposed by the Obama administration would allow endangered species to have the same protection across state lines, giving the government a greater ability to enforce the Endangered Species Act and animals under it. State governments would be forced to adhere with national protections, or lack thereof, for animals such as the gray wolf. The rule would allow better chances for locating and recovering listed species. Unfortunately, placing newly declining species or keeping some remaining species on the list could be a difficult task with stricter interpretations enforced.  Read on for the full story. — Global Animal
