US Navy snipers are still shooting water buffaloes in Guam despite the fact that the local people have offered to adopt all of them: --------- Guam has a herd of 300-400 'feral' buffalo (carabao) that the US Navy is slaughtering. No USDA food inspector or slaughterhouse so animals are just left in jungle to rot. I'm trying to get an organized force to try to get the Navy to stop killing these animals. If you can help, please email me - or if you want to email directly to US Fish and Wildlife you can contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] Any comments or help would be greatly appreciated. The Navy has killed over 200 animals so far - I don't think they will be happy until the herd is exterminated.

They have now killed over 200 of these lovely animals and I am hoping that perhaps this group can send emails to those involved with the US Fish and Wildlife and US Navy to stop the killing. There is no accurate count on the number of domesticated animals on Guam - but it is probably under 200. I am trying to get the mayors to help set up an association so we can convince the military to let us corral these animals and move them to safe areas. I have learned so much the past two months from the websites on water buffalo - I don't own one yet - but perhaps soon! If anyone knows of a venue we could use to help stop the slaughter - please let me know. Thanks again, Shirley Miller --------- Below is some more information. The first link points to a page that give some suggestions as to how you can help try to save the remaining water buffaloes.
