HEART OF THE WOLF ORGANIZATION ANTI-WOLF MEDIA
2/11/2010

Two magazines in the past month have been released that
have been anti-wolf, and there is nothing good about
it obviously.

An article written for the publication Predator Xtreme
called Wolves Win 2009 Season, by Judd Cooney.
He is a dangerous man who wages war against predators.

He runs Iowa Trophy Whitetail Outfitters and has been
a threat to many species of nature over the years.

In this article he like many hunters, attacks wolves
and those who want a future of peace between humans
and wolves in his article.

He thinks that the wolves there decimate the elk in
Montana, calling it a Mecca before wolves were re-introduced.
Judd tries to make a lopsided argument that alot of
hunters use, that the wolves re-introduced from
Canada are larger than the original prairie wolves.
And that this has led to a huge slaughter of elk.
Which of course is false.

Judd isn't a scientist, and we can tell you that if
there was any scientific proof of that, it would have
been released by now. Besides, wolves aren't stupid.
They wouldn't annihilate all of their food base. No
predator in nature does. That's because the predator
populations of species in nature are smaller than
prey so that this isn't an issue.

The 'writers' lack of education or ettiquite when
writing shows it self as he refers to those who
fight for the peace between humans and wolves as:
wolf-loving environmentalists, wolf lovin' do gooders.

It's kind of bizarre because he says that the USFWS,
as well as Judge Molloy sided with environmentalists to try and
prevent the destruction of wolves in hunts when
conservationists did lawsuits. Um, how is that?

Wolves have been slaughtered by federal and state
agencies for years. The USFWS has constantly been
fighting to delist wolves for years, and still is.
And vows to fight any attempts to relist wolves,
for that matter.

He throws statistics around of how many elk are killed
a year by wolves, but doesn't offer the sources of that
or for that matter how many elk hunters murder a year.
Wolves also aren't great hunters by themselves without
a pack, contrary to Judd's assertions.

Judd tells a story on how he interviewed Robert Millage
of Kamiah, Idaho, who murdered the first wolf in this
current wolf hunt in Idaho. Millage claims the wolves
were spookier than he heard about. Maybe it's because
that Millage buys into wolves being scary and evil,
when they are not, which is why they both don't mind
the fact that wolves are being shot to death.

He also gets his 'facts' from his hunting pals, which
again, they aren't scientists, or biologists, or those
who even know about wolves at all. So it's not information
that is reliable.

The rest of the article is his junk statistics as
he, as typical hunters do, illustrates their propaganda
campaign of utilitarians who are crying an elk extinction
apocalypse where as Judd says 'and the once healthy big-game
populations are going to continue ending up
as wolf crap.'

Not to mention he falsely claims livestock issues will
be more and more.

Well if non-lethal methods and PF Ranching would be used
that wouldn't be a problem. And lastly he says that
the end of hunting is our goal. Yeah, I would like that.
Peace is what we want. Not murder and mayhem. That's not
how you bond with nature. If we did this on people, it
would be considered unethical on the highest order.

Until we respect animals like ourselves, how can we live?

NOTE: Also it should be mentioned that Judd references to keep
an eye on this issue at pinedaleonline.com/wolf

Cat Urbigkit who is a reporter for this site years ago,
attacked us under false pretenses for saying we didn't
care about humanity, and her book Yellowstone Wolves: A
Chronicle of the Animal,
the People, and the Politics
didn't do much favor for the wolves at all. We went through
quite a bit of passages in it, to say the least.

We aren't sure if they know each other, but either way
ranchers who don't like wolves (there are those who do but are
overshadowed...) and hunters are bedfellows...

2) The second article comes from the magazine, north
american Whitetail.

The article is called Are There Too Many Predators
Part 2, by 'Dr.' (as in Dr. Death) James C. Kroll.

James C. Kroll (jck@fri.sfasu.edu), is obviously a hunter, and
that interest leads to his bias, despite being a major force in
Deer Management. There is that theme of control and wanting
to control species, rather than living with it. And if
you can't live with it under your thumb, you want it
dead. As in the case of Kroll or...Dr. Death.

Alot of the information is the same old false arguments
as normal brought about by hunters. Doesn't matter if you
have the classification of biologist thrown on your title.
Even some biologists are wrong with their facts, such as
David Mech, Doug Smith, and those in the USFWS and state
agencies who support wolf slaughter for the idea of
co-existence
with the wolf.

He thinks that the populations are exploding with the
bear, mountain lion, and wolf populations.

If anything, one should fear the explosion of the human
population. It's supposed to be 7 billion by 2011.

Right...and this is from a 'biologist' who in the first
part of his article 'claims' that there is no balance
in nature?!

http://www.northamericanwhitetail.com/deermanagement/NAW
_predators_0110/index.html

And he wants to totally subdue and dominate nature and
destroy it at any cost!

Yet there is actually no balance with people. Nature
as we already stated has predators with less of a population.
The prey population is more numerous so they don't starve.
To no surprise that hasn't happened yet.

Maybe it's something called the food web,

http://www.vtaide.com/png/foodchains.htm

which is the basics of biology. It's just the hunting industry
bought and sold this dr. with blood money...
He is so scared of biologists that love
to take the lives of animals are being 'pushed' out
by who he thinks solely learn about animals by
watching Animal Planet and the Discovery Channel and
think that hunters are evil.

FYI Dr. Death, the Discovery Channel rarely
shows nature shows. Mostly lame reality shows
and Mythbusters. As far as Animal Planet, well
it occasionally airs programs that make
animals look bad and perpetuate false fears.

One would know this by watching these stations
like we do for source material.

And hunting is unethical. You get sadistic joy
out of the slaughter of animals from nature.
Nature kills because it has to. People do it
for fun. People like Dr. want to control nature
through oppression, fear, propaganda and destruction.

If we did that to people it would be considered
horrible, and it has happened many times in history.
It's just when it comes to animals people don't
mind passing the buck because it isn't human.

He claims to not hate predators or not want
them exterminated, but his first article
indicates otherwise. He is nothing but a utilitarian
who wants control of nature for human purpose,
and that's it. Forget he thinks the blood spilled
and the horror in a misguided view of the returning
to a balance that wouldn't exist.

We must have peace between humans and non-humans.
If we do not, this world will be ripped apart,
and nothing will survive.

Or as one quote eloquently stated which applies those who
fear and hate nature is this:

"Our truest sense of security comes only when we have
learned to live in harmony
with others." -- Steven D. Farmer, Ph.D.

In otherwords, they will only learn security when they
choose to live with nature, rather than blasting it
with guns and cruelly oppressing nature and it's denizens.
