<p>The DEP for the State of Florida had recently revoked the oil drilling permits for the Dan A. Hughes Co. and is also filing a lawsuit seeking more than $100,000 in fines against the company. This would mean the Dan A. Hugh’s Company loses all authority to operate in the State of Florida. For more details, <a href="http://www.news-press.com/story/news/2014/07/18/state-dep-revokes-oil-drillers-permits-files-suit/12829143" target="_blank">read this news article</a> about the latest developments. </p>
<p><b>We wish to express our most heartfelt thanks for all of your signatures and support for this campaign to protect Florida panthers from Big Oil. CREDO delivered to the federal EPA more than 130,000 signatures from activists like you across the country. </b><b>We all played an important role in keeping the pressure on for the EPA to do the right thing to protect panthers, their habitat and clean water resources in which we all depend. </b></p>

As encouraging as this news is, the fight isn’t over yet. Florida needs tougher state laws, regulations and oversight regarding oil drilling. It is also felt by many that oil exploration and extraction are not compatible activities to ever be allowed in habitat critically important to the survival of the Florida panther! We need to keep fighting.</p>
<p>Thank you again for taking the time to sign the petition and offering your voice for the protection of Florida panthers and their habitat! Thanks also to CREDO and the Endangered Species Coalition! This campaign's success was made possible through their amazing efforts!</p>

<div>Wishing you all the best!</div>
