B) Another Wolf was shot to death in Idaho, where
the Wolf was shot to death by a hunter.

C) A parachutist illegally (like legal would be moral?..) murdered a Wolf with a shotgun. Since there was no evidence of the body,
the case was just dropped. Aerial shooting is illegal and yet the murderer got away with it. Justice is blind once more.

2) Also the Idaho Department of Fish and Game wants to be able to land in Wolf territory to dart and collar them.

No thanks. They have done already done enough damage to Wolves and we don't need them exerting more control and
domination over a species that deserves freedom.

I don't think people would like to be collared, and tracked everywhere they went. Just because Wolves are non-Human, doesn't
make it right.

3) A disturbing article recently has appeared in the hunting magazine called, north american Whitetail. It was called, The Wolf Crisis, and
the author was Jeff Lampe. This individual has been writing anti-Wolf blogs for a website:
http://www.prairiestateoutdoors.com/index.php?/scattershooting/wolf_hunt_stuff/

One disturbing fact is that he has a link to the Illinois Sierra Club.
Whether he is a member of the Club or not, is unknown.

In this article he uses what we call in the trade 'junk science' to
say that Wolves are decimating Elk populations.

That's funny, then why does the same publication you are writing in have an article called, The Culling Question, Which Bucks Really Need
to Go? They promote limiting the growth of elk populations in this magazine, yet they like Jeff Lampe complain when Wolves take what they
need for food and provide for the ecosystem.

The article here is nothing about science or anything ethical or justifiable. An article prior to this by the same author proves this.

http://www.prairiestateoutdoors.com/index.php?/scattershooting/wolf_hunt_stuff/

Here's some quotes from it:

'A federal judge has shown some sanity by ruling that wolf hunts in Idaho and Montana can move forward.'

'So kudos to Molloy.'

'And kudos to Robert Millage, who is credited with shooting the first wolf once the  Idaho hunt (for up to 220 wolves) started on Sept. 1. The Montana hunt for up
to  75 wolves starts Sept. 15.'

Yeah this isn't sanity at all. And Ed Bangs was wrong, Wolves can occupy more spaces than this. He just wanted to do this job of restoring Wolves half-done
and cut himself off from it.

And this article is about a false conspiracy generated by a hunter who fears and hates Wolves. As well as those who fight for them. He actually
believes that environmentalists don't want the hunters in the woods, so they are restoring Wolves so they will hunt all of the deer and force them
out.

Um, if you studied biology, you would know that predators are the apex of the population. They don't over eat their prey base. There is always more prey
animals than predators. It's how nature was set up. On the other hand if prey animals aren't eaten, then the ecosystem degrades. And falls apart. Places
without predators leads to desertification.

To back this up, want to know how many Wolves there are total in each state on average in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming? About 2000 and guess how many
people occupy these three states? Round it to about 3,018,000. This is thanks the census.gov website's data.

So who is outnumbering whom? It certainly isn't the Wolves. In fact people are continuing to overpopulate. The world population is supposed to hit
7 billion in 2 years. And by the way, the delisting as Judge Molloy admitted, was based on politics, not science. Not that it would have been ethical.
I mean, if it were people, you wouldn't take away their rights so they wouldn't be protected by the police and are under threat at any time would
you?

It is also politically motivated because guess who is magically a supporter of hunters overnight? Barack Obama. Thanks to Wolf we covered it in the past
and now our informant Wolf also gave this to show you folks.

http://www.appomattoxnews.com/2009/obama-declares-national-hunting-and-fishing-day.html

Disturbing huh?

It's not a socialist government people should fear now. It's the fact that we have a government always controlled by special
interests. And now it's hunting interests in this pocket. The concept of representative democracy.

Lampe also claims that environmentalists do more harm than good when it comes to nature. How? By restoring animals once where they belonged?
Responsible stewardship of the Earth? Maybe having less children so we don't consume what's left of the Earth and leaving it a trash heap?
What this is also really about is hunters like Lampe who don't want Elk shared with Wolves. Hunters that sadistically kill animals and
find it sane. The same kind of people who can't fathom people who actually want to protect the animals they want to kill.

Imagine if it was their daughter or son they were protecting. I think these hunters wouldn't have a problem with it then, and wouldn't want
their progeny killed. But since it's a Wolf and it's getting in the way of their 'sport' and false pride, it's different.

He also writes in this article about livestock depredation numbers and statistics. I can tell you, depredations are a very low statistic
and overplayed. More livestock die of natural causes, lightning strikes and in a slaughterhouse.

Ed Bangs in this article was quoted as saying these hunts were long overdue. I guess that shows where the USFWS has it's cards in, and it certainly is NOT
environmental protection, along with Jeff Lampe's.

For the website of north american Whitetail go to: http://northamericanwhitetail.com/

Here are some links showing evidence that hunting is a threat to Wolves and
Deer.

'Hunting animals does not prevent starvation, it promotes it.  When deer and other animals are wounded and are unable to forage for food as a result of their
wounds, the secondary cause of death is starvation.  Furthermore, a deer herd can only grow as large as its available food supply.  
If the herd outgrows its food supply, the competition for food creates stress, which eventually leads to natural factors that contribute to a decline in numbers,
until the herd is once again in balance with its habitat and food supply.'

'Hunting actually increases deer overpopulation because when a huge number of deer are killed, it leaves a surplus of food for the remaining herd members,
which will maximize the birth rate of the deer, to once again bring their numbers in balance with the available food supply.  
It is a terribly vicious cycle promoted by wildlife managers, to assure hunters an infinite supply of live targets each and every year.'

Hunters, not conservationists are the most dire threat here.

Again livestock issues are rare, and non-lethal methods can prevent this from happening.

Please help stop this. And comment to Lampe as well. And report all this
to your media outlets, newspapers, radio and news. And to politicians.

4) One of our members, Brenda, brought to our attention of the plight of Wolves in Italy,
and her source was an anti-hunting group exists on Facebook. Several of the victims of the hunts are
on display in horrific ways.

Take action to stop hunting in Italy.

Contact the government officials there:

HEART OF THE WOLF ORGANIZATION NEWS 10/5/2009

Several news items have appeared as of late.

1) Several Wolves were shot to death recently.

A) One was in Colorado, where officials haven't
commented, at ALL as to what could have caused
it. So far nothing has emerged.

Whatever it was, it was more than likely, a human.

And to what end we hope there can be a revealing
of information. Despite what hunters, and the government
agencies who think the best protection is taking away
rights, they must have protections restored to
prevent this from happening.

Go contact Colorado's government officials today:
http://www.heartofthewolf.org/HoWWolfNewsUpdate9292009.html

Thanks to men like Ed Bangs, and others, Wolves cannot
make it to Colorado if they keep getting shot to death
and they are delisted. Nope, no mission accomplished,
just another murdered victim.
