As horseshoe crab populations have plummeted, so have numbers of red knots. </p><p>Call on <a href="https://mas.to/tags/NewYork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewYork</span></a> Gov. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/KathyHochul" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KathyHochul</span></a> to sign the <a href="https://mas.to/tags/HorseshoeCrabProtectionAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HorseshoeCrabProtectionAct</span></a> and give imperiled horseshoe crabs — and red knots — a fighting chance at <a href="https://mas.to/tags/survival" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>survival</span></a>. </p><p>- Center for Biological Diversity</p><p>4/4 </p><p>🦀🦀🦀🦀</p><p><a href="https://act.biologicaldiversity.org/yjTHVOQQxEqBGYZuulReqw2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">act.biologicaldiversity.org/yj</span><span class="invisible">THVOQQxEqBGYZuulReqw2</span></a></p>

The state legislature recently passed the Horseshoe Crab Protection Act, a bill to ban horseshoe crab harvesting in New York. But to become law, this crucial legislation needs the governor's signature. </p><p>Horseshoe crabs support scores of other species on land, in the sea, and in the air — including shorebirds like federally protected <a href="https://mas.to/tags/RedKnots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RedKnots</span></a>. </p><p>3/4</p><p>🦀🦀🦀</p>
anna_lillith 🇺🇦🌱🐖<p>SAVE HORSESHOE CRABS FROM MASS DEATH </p><p>Dating back to before the dinosaurs, <a href="https://mas.to/tags/HorseshoeCrabs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HorseshoeCrabs</span></a> are among the Earth's most ancient animals. They've survived for almost half a billion years, but now, in North America, they're at great risk: Each year the <a href="https://mas.to/tags/BiomedicalIndustry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BiomedicalIndustry</span></a> "harvests" nearly a million crabs to drain their blood. That blood is used in <a href="https://mas.to/tags/pharmaceuticals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pharmaceuticals</span></a> that save human lives — but at a terrible cost to the crabs and the species that depend on them, like <a href="https://mas.to/tags/endangered" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>endangered</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/RedKnots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RedKnots</span></a>. </p><p>1/3</p>
