This is VERY IMPORTANT information regarding the upcoming Natural Resources Board meeting that will discuss “rules” for the “training” of dogs to be used against wolves with almost no limitations right through breeding, denning, and birthing seasons until March 31 st. The cut off to register for speaking at the meeting is TODAY, but comments will be accepted until this Friday. Here is more information:

The farmers and hunters are using “Public Lands” as if it were their own…and it is not. I personally want them to take their live stock, and get off my land. And I want the sadistic hunters and trappers to be charged with animal cruelty and put away before they decide that it’s O.K. to hunt and kill children as well. They can’t be eaten, and they aren’t armed either. Obviously those knuckle draggin, nose pickers, wouldn’t want to hunt anything that might shoot back, so now they want dogs to do the hunting and make the wolf almost dead so they can tippy toe up and kick the dog to death…Macho. These people are sick and need to be institutionalized.

Thank you Nabeki for allerting us to the US Fish and Wildlife’s plan to remove the wolves in the lower 48 states from ESA protections. And to this new assault in Wisconsin. We must keep plugging away.
Hope we good guys and gals can win for the wolves- our motives are through love and respect for this animal. I believe much from the other side is driven by hate and ignorance.

You’re welcome Jane. Both are terribly important to address. The most egregious is of course the hunting of wolves with dogs and “practicing on denning wolves in March”. We have to flood the Wisconsin DNR with comments and calls. Secondly though, the delisting of wolves across the Lower 48 is extremely serious. It means wolves in Washington, Oregon and California (including OR7) will lose federal protections and only have state plans to fall back on. Oregon’s state plan is very weak, Washington’s is better but in the end if wolves are delisted across the board it will mean they will be severely hampered from dispersing across state lines, they can’t do it now without being shot, can you imagine what will happen if they have ZERO protection. This is really not about wolves, it’s a culture war between environmentalists and animal rights advocates against the old guard of gun lobbies, ranching and hunting cabals. They see the wolf as a way to assert their power and also hurt us at the same time. It’s a win win situation for them. That’s why we have to get our act together and fight this battle to win it.

Dogs shouldn’t be trained to kill Wolves and people shouldn’t either. We could learn a lot from them. Without them this world becomes a shame. Wolves have a high capacity to live, love and understand. They are great protectors and very family oriented. They control deer populations too. The forest without their call will likely also fall. The Wolf was our first companion best friend has that changed so much in these last few centuries?

But we have to remember something, we are the majority and the people carrying out this treachery are the minority. The reason they are winning is they have the state legislatures tied up in the Northern Rockies, even the Democrats in Montana are DINO”S (Democrats In Name Only). Once they figured out how to go around the courts in Montana and Idaho they captured the wolves in a death grip. But we will not give up and keep fighting for them. We still have many cards to play.

That’s a very good question sue ellen. The problem is there’s a split in the wolf movement. Some groups support the hunting of wolves, that’s shocking I know.

If we had all stayed on the same page, wolves would not be in this situation. Sadly we’re not all united and that’s the sad truth.
