It is either nonviolence or nonexistence.' -- Martin Luther King HEART OF THE WOLF ORGANIZATION NEWS 1/11/2010 Here are the latest updates folks. 1) The aerial slaughter of wolves has resumed in Alaska. 2 casualties have been reported so far. Luckily snow has been impeding the progress of the Alaskan Department of Fish and Game. http://newsminer.com/pages/full_story/push?article-Alaska+wolf+control+limit ed+by+low+snow%20&id=5516351&instance=home_lead_story The Alaskan Supreme Court knows these hunts violate the state constitution, they just won't do anything about the hunts. This is because special interest groups have more money than philanthropic groups. Oppose the hunts today, go to and or call the number below: Alaskan Dept. of Fish and Game http://www.boards.adfg.state.ak.us/gameinfo/member/gmemadd.php http://www.dps.state.ak.us/AWT/Safeguard.aspx 1 - 800 - 478 - 3377 Gov. Sean Parnell (He supports the slaughter like his predecessor Sarah Palin...) http://gov.state.ak.us/govmail.php Alaskan Supreme Court http://www.courts.alaska.gov/courtdir.htm 2) Rubber bullets, another non-lethal method, have been distributed to a horse owner to deter wolves. Thank goodness death and mayhem, was not chosen by the horse owner. Non-Lethal Methods work, this has to be educated about more often, and made into law. That is only how peace can continue between man and wolf. http://www.jhnewsandguide.com/article.php?art_id=5495 3) Sweden has been on a sadistic streak of the slaughter of wolves. Not only did they have a hunt recently, now they slaughtered an entire pack of wolves that escaped Skåne Wildlife Park. http://www.thelocal.se/24302/20100110/ It's sad, and devastating. Foreman Johan Lindström claimed to say that, but the wolf pack was NOT a threat, and nor are wolves, and this was NOT justified. This was a horrible incident. Lindstrom needs to be held accountable for this. And the Swedish Government has to be held accountable for their slaughter of wolves in hunts. Here is how you can do that: Fredrik Reinfeldt Svenska Prime Minister, Prime Minister's Office http://www.sweden.gov.se/pub/road/Classic/article/117/jsp/Render.jsp? a=70244&m=popup&l=en Cecilia Malmström Svenska Minister for EU Affairs, Prime Minister's Office http://www.sweden.gov.se/pub/road/Classic/article/117/jsp/Render.jsp? a=70249&m=popup&l=en Swedish Environmental Protection Agency Attn: Yvonne Lundell Principal Administrative Officer Wildlife Management Section S-106 48 STOCKHOLM Tel: +46 (8) 698 10 00; 698 14 14 Fax: +46 (8) 698 14 02 Email: yvonne.lundell@naturvardsverket.se; natur@naturvardsverket.se European Union: inquiries@un.org http://www.heartofthewolf.org/MediaGovernmentContacts.htm 2) Idaho hunting of wolves has stopped in one section in Idaho. Unfortunately 128 wolves have been murdered so far. http://www.sltrib.com/nationworld/ci_14119192 Sadly the Idaho Department of Fish and Game even has gone so far as to support hunting and even gives tips on it. Fight back today! Stop the slaughter of wolves in the Northern Rockies: http://www.heartofthewolf.org/StopTheHunt.html 3) Good news! A wolf by the name of Nina, recently returned to Wolf Hollow sanctuary, and on it's own. http://www.salemnews.com/punews/local_story_005102627.html Glad there is a happy ending. Until next time, watch us for new updates and help donate to our cause today.
