There will always be cowards walking among us. You will not see these people fighting for their country because a real Man will would only shot at something endangering his family or friends. Or unless killing for food. Most do it for Ego.
If wolves could shot back these cowards would be hiding under a log.
Would you see these guys taking on a pack of wolves, unarmed or even a single wolf
No they hide in helicopters or use rifles at a distance then boast at the local bar.
As i said there will always be cowards walking among us until we continue to allow them in our homes.

Shame on all who kills shame on the people who stand by and seems to be happy about it

I’ve been reading this blog for some time now, and occassionally I will even comment. But, I do not ever recall seeing the following here. I was watching an old “Wild America” show on wolves, and one thing led to another and I stumbled on the blog Coyotes, Wolves and Cougars. A little ways down, there is an article about the delisting and massacre of the wolves in Minnesota (sound familiar?). Anyway, there seems to be a different campaign to fight the ignorant politicians and ranchers. They are asking for we defenders to just buy up the hunting licenses. If we could buy them all up, then the ignorants would be hunting without licenses. Not perfect, but a start in another direction maybe.

Anyway, I thought it was a novel idea to fight back that I hadn’t heard of before.

How terrible to know an entire wolf pack was wiped out. How stupid and cruel…

I think the wolf is the canary in the mine. It’s a warning to all that apex predators around the world are being destroyed. It’s not a coincidence this is happening, not only are we killing them but we’re destroying their habitat, which really is our habitat. I always look at the mess Haiti is, it’s completely deforested. It’s a terribly poor country but what makes us think in 50 years down the road our country won’t look like that? Ten years ago only 6 percent of old growth trees stood in the lower forty eight, it’s probably 2 percent now. There is a drum-beat from the right to drill, drill, drill. Fracking has the ability to destroy our aquifers but they pay no attention. It’s not just the wolves, the very existence of life on earth is threatened by the stupidity of mankind.

Yes Nabeki, hence my parallel with the sixties in a previous post, when the government and friends attacked change and protest, MLK, Rachel Carson was vilified, Kent State, they use fear as a tactic and materialism allied to human desire and the ‘pursuit of happiness’ as drugs as in a Brave New World, ‘soma’ for the masses to keep us quiet. We just have to wake up and awaken enough people to a tipping point, when change is inevitable. Its a brave person who puts him or herself on the line to protest, but if there’s a clear message and resilience people will respond, but I think the wolf is part of the bigger picture, as indeed he is in life, but its tough for people to relate to nature with the disconnection they have the problems they have in the current economic climate, its easier to turn away.
Yet when I scan many websites about the environment and such, the comments section is full of people who care and are disturbed by what is going on. From somewhere a leader is needed and coalitions made.

I agree Ellen, the states cannot be reasoned with. But we all knew this from the beginning. They have waited for 16 years to take over the “management” of wolves, so they could kill them. This reminds me of Selma, Alabama. The level of hate and disgusting behavior is out of control. The wolves must be relisted or they have no chance. That is what we have to work toward and we need to unite and speak with one voice, not a hundred different voices saying different things. Our movement is divided while the wolf haters are united and have the backing of millions of dollars from the hunting and ranching lobbies. We’ve always depended on the big environmental groups to bail wolves out. Now we have to do the heavy lifting.

Dana…If I do a petition it’s going to demand the relisting of gray wolves, that’s their only hope. BUT we need a hundred thousand signatures or more to make a difference. Petitions with a few thousand signatures go no where. Even though I have two up on the blog right now, I’m losing hope with petitions. We petition and the wolf haters are taking over state governments, pushing their agendas through with all the support in the world. We have a huge mountain to climb to make a difference for these persecuted, maligned magnificent animals.
