This is the final published update concerning the status of activities with regard to saving the Haley Hills. While activities have not ceased, publication about them has for security reasons. In order for these activities to remain effective and unhindered, it is wise to follow the example of law enforcement. Details disclosed can work against an operation if they fall into the wrong hands. And so it is with saving the Haley Hills.

Let it be said and proudly known however, that we are winning and that we will prevail, thanks in large part to the single-handed efforts of some tireless volunteers who remain anonymous.

The reality of the matter is that within the next decade the area in all likelihood will become a regional park managed by the City of Maricopa. We have been assured by city officials that such a park will remain closed to motorized vehicles. In that case, our preservation efforts will not have been in vain.

While it would be ideal and preferable for the area to obtain official status as a "wilderness island," it is simply not on a scale large enough to interest or make it feasible for those who could make that ideal a reality. Therefore this blog is once again in the throes of transition. Look for it to become a new front for a more radical exploration and expression of concepts and ideas related to the connection between animal rights and global warming. Did you know that 40% of the world's greenhouse gases are directly caused by commercial animal factory/farming?
