WOLF MEDIA 11/24/2009

Two news items folks.

1) 100 Heartbeats recently came out by Jeff
Corwin.

http://www.amazon.com/100-Heartbeats-Earths-Endangered-Sp
ecies/dp/1605298476/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1258
921103&sr=1-1

Although reviews have been positive, it really
isn't as good as everyone claims to be.

Why you ask? Well the problem is is that he
supports alot of wolf destruction in his book
and ignores what really is causing the problems
of wolves.

I.E.:

pg. 209 -- "When a wolf continues to prey in livestock
after repeated attempts to deter it, management does
become necessary. "It's better for all parties,
including wolves, if chronic killers are taken out." --
Smith [Doug Smith] says "A big part of wolf recovery
is engendering local support.

Funny considering both abhor hunting which USFWS didn't
mind and illegally.

Think about this, the book the solely blames ranchers
for intolerance of wolves, yet the author is in support of wolf
management and the murderous and criminal USFWS.

In fact here is another such case.

'In 2008, we saw what could happen when wolves
don't have sufficient protection. After the
gray wolf population in the Northern Rockies was
classified as fully recovered in March, 110 wolves
were hunted and killed.' -- pg. 209

100 Heartbeats continues to support the machinations
of the oppression of wolves because of passages like this:

'Wildlife management can be successful and beneficial to all
parties when it's placed in the knowledgeable hands of
professionals. Wolf conservation efforts can succeed. The Red
Wolf is thriving proof of that.' --pg. 211

That totally contradicts the pg. 209 quote above. The
Gray Wolf program was a complete failure. Wolves are hunted
and the wolves were illegally delisted. Which the USFWS
did for political reasons and ignored rationale. But what
rationale is there in stripping the rights of wolves because
their population is a small amount? None. If we took
the rights away from people because the population
was too big, which it currently is and growing, people
would be really furious.

How can things be a success when murderers like Carolyn
Sime and Ed Bangs who deny Non-Lethal Methods and Predator
Friendly Ranching, and cause wolf deaths in hunts? Corwin
panders to the USFWS and if he actually remembered, Red
Wolves were in this book because they are in danger of
vanishing. Also captivity is no guarantee of survival.

Oddly enough, Doug Smith is quoted in this book as saying that
"Wolves' future depends on humans attitudes."

Well I can tell you that if the attitudes of the dangerous
hypocrite Doug Smith, Jeff Corwin, and others don't change,
they will doom the wolves. Which will doom us.

Final rating: -5/5

100 Hearbeats? More like 0. Especially since the
USFWS is supported in the book. Along with the USFWS,
this book is supported by none other than Rodger
Schlickeisen President and CEO of Defenders.

It's getting to be a more dangerous world. The groups that are
also in this book are like WWF who supports animal testing for
example.

http://www.wickedwildlifefund.com/test.html

And the group that uncovered this, PETA, supports dog killing
shelters.

http://www.petconnection.com/blog/2009/11/19/peta-loves-dog-k
illers/

Yet this group doesn't like Michael Vick...

You get the idea. We need groups and authors and true
supporters with true hearts. Dedicated to bringing peace
between humans and nature and a peaceful co-existence.

This book totally shows things are about to get more difficult in
that regard.

2) Miley Cyrus, the idol of young girls who watch her show
Hannah Montana on Disney Channel, recently said this about
the Twilight movie New Moon.

Miley Cyrus: I "Don't Want Anything to Do" With 'New Moon'
I don't like the wolf that pops out of the screen when I'm
watching my TV at night. I don't like it. I don't want anything to do
with it. I don't like the shirts. I don't like any of it."

http://wonderwall.msn.com/music/miley-cyrus-i-dont-want-anyth
ing-to-do-with...-new-moon-1526557.story?GT1=28135

Cyrus' being a role model has been questioned constantly by
parents and other logically minded individuals. Here is another
reason. She fears wolves, and as you know, fear leads to hate
and suffering. Her negatively stereotyping wolves is a terrible
thing indeed when so many children look up to her.

3) Sarah Palin's book Going Rogue has been out for a little
while and it's definitely a book to pass.

The book for one, is more of a revenge book. Kind of the idea
of the ideology of you hurt me, so I hurt you, is the focus of this
book.

It for a biography, is poorly designed and written. Of course
that is not surprising given the fact that the book was 'written'
in four months.

4 months? That must have taken alot of staff to write it for her.

The book also has no contents section, no index section, no
sources to cite her so called 'evidence' to prove her seriously
messed up views.

And yet people bought it by the millions if not more even before
it came out. She continues to gain more popularity even when
she continues to support the destruction of nature and more to
further the economy. Palin fakes to support nature, and says
development that would harm the environment would work well
together. Other horrendous ideas appear in the book as well.

Here are alot of her quotes from the book.

pg. 126 -- 'As a mayor I understood the communities'
dependence on oil's economic contributions; as a lover of the
land I understood as well the environmentalists' and Alaskan
Natives' concerns.'

This isn't true. She is a conniver who later in the book attacks
environmentalists with utter contempt, insults, and cruelty.
In otherwords it supports what we have been talking about her.

pg. 134 -- 'If any vegans came over for dinner, I could whip
them up a salad, then explain my philosophy on being a
carnivore: If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how
come He made them out of meat?'

If your guests come over for dinner Palin and they are vegan,
you should just respect them as a guest, serve them a salad,
and be done with it. Pushing your agenda like that on a dinner
guest is rude and inconsiderate.

And there is the idea too that humans were not meant to be
predators at all. Humans curiously over-breed and destroy that
which it needs to survive. Oddly enough this is like cancer. Or
since humans constantly over-breed were humans once just
herbivores and wanted to be predators in an attempt to twist
what their role was and dominate the world?

Who knows, but just because people can do something, doesn't
mean they should. The old adage, 'If someone jumps off a
bridge, would you do it?, comes into play.'

Here is more:

pg. 133-144 -- 'As governor, though, hunting, was an issue, I
would face pressure from Hollywood to halt hunting, ban guns
and end our state's wildlife practices, such as controlling
predators. I said no to all that nonsense: gun laws would
destroy the Second Amendment and as a life-long member
of the NRA (Alaska has the highest NRA membership capita in
the nation), I had plenty of backup when telling Hollywood
liberals what I thought of their asinine plans to ban guns. And
we had to control predators such as wolves, that were
decimating the moose and caribou herds that feed our
communities.
   One animal rights group recruited a perky, pretty celebrity to
attack our 'scientifically' controlled, state-managed wolf-control
program. It was
ironic that she opposed using guns to kill predators that would
cause Native people to starve, but apparently not opposed to
taking movie roles in which she'd use guns to kill predatory
people.
Outside of Alaska are often clueless about our reliance on
natural food sources. (You know you're an Alaskan when at
least twice a year your kitchen doubles as a meat-processing
plant.) They don't use common sense in considering why our
biologists need responsible tools for abundant game
management. But as the ninety-year-old Alaska Native leader
Sydney Hummington told Todd, "Nowadays, common sense is
an endangered species."

First of all the Second Amendment has been misinterpreted for
the longest time. It was intended for militias in the early
formation of the U.S. to defend themselves should the
government get to be tyrannical like Britain's. Ironically the U.S.
became the same over time. I digress. But even if you have the
Second Amendment which has been changed, and the NRA
with their obsession of guns, what possible difference would
that make against a government who has access to nukes,
tanks, bunker busting bombs, and stealth technology?

Sarah Palin also didn't do her research and sided with corrupt
interests.

Predators in the wild don't breed as often as prey species.
Otherwise you would see all around the world, predators
out-breeding their prey. People like Sarah Palin don't need to
hunt and take prey from predators who actually need it.

She has no proof of her false claims about the need of the
destruction of wolves and other predators, not that it would be
right.

But we do. Predators determine the health of nature and you
need to
read this report about it:

http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/content/view/23730/

So don't listen to Palin, wolves are needed for the survival for
all. Especially the Natives who depend on food there. Not regular
residents and hunters who can go to grocery stores and buy
their own food.

Palin also didn't bother to cover all the facts. Which we will do
so now. The actress who came out in support of the wolves is
Ashley Judd, and the group that was with her was Defenders of
Wildlife.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/02/06/alaska.judd.palin/inde
x.html

Judd doesn't appear in gun-toting films all the time for instance.
Her first acting gig was on Star Trek the Next Generation. She
was in Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood with the big star
Sandra Bullock. Again Palin didn't do her homework.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0279778/fullcredits#cast

Or use her common sense on the subject. Those who protect
the environment and seek peace between humans and animals
only seek peace. Those who want to control nature wage war
and death.

Ultimately in the end this book is a wash. She claims to support
alternative agency, but still still wants to "drill, baby, drill," and
uses the excuse to say that if we don't drill, people will suffer in
other countries because of that. Well, all the more reason to
break from all together right?

And if our country did develop these forms of energy years ago
we wouldn't be where we are now at, would we?

Sarah Palin's book scratches the surface of her life, then just
attacks anyone and everyone she doesn't like. Or disagrees
with for the whole book and has no proof whatsoever for why.
The ironic part she said, 'Stand now. Stand together. Stand for
what is right.' in this book, on pg. 395. Though this is
true, Palin is standing for barbarous ideals, which are anything
but right.

If the writer was a man, this book also would have been
promptly dismissed and laughed at. Oh wait, it wouldn't matter
because most people tend to believe what is printed,
regardless of whether it is correct or not. As a result, this book
is a dud and shouldn't be read. Spread the word and review it at
places like Amazon.com as well as Barnes and Noble.

Our final thoughts? A Url.

Yeah, we thought so too.

Final Review: -5/5
