| 'Heart of the Wolf Organization News 1/28/2010 Violence is the first refuge of the incompetent - Issac Asimov War is the continuation of politics by other means - Karl Von Clausewitz 1) The bill that we mentioned that Republican Senator Allen Christensen introduced actually passed. A tamer version as it is coined, reflecting the fear of nature, but it shows that people still fear the wolf, and no change has resulted in this country. http://www.heartofthewolf.org/HoWWolfNewsUpdate1222010.html Except for a change of more fear and hate of wolves. http://www.care2.com/news/member/287999121/1373074 The problem is, is that people think that meeting halfway when it comes to wolves is a good thing. It isn't. It results too often in wolves dying. Wolves controlled by people, rather than being allowed to live as they are meant to. It's about people want to be gods over nature and doing what they want with it. Those who claim to support wolves and allow compromises like this are no benefit to the cause at all. http://kcpw.org/blog/local-news/2010-01-27/watered-down-wolf-management-b ill-clears-committee/ And Christensen has already slaughtered wolves outside of the U.S. sadly. http://www.care2.com/news/member/287999121/1373074 Sweden is one such example where compromise is a mistake: http://www.sciencecentric.com/news/article.php?q=10012501-swedes-accept- protective-hunting-but-only-certain-species Increasing amounts of people want limited hunts of them. Education must happen and government agencies must take part. They know this is wrong, but they are afraid. Afraid of doing the right thing. And more and more images of fear and hate of them, as the review of a terrible article portrays, we have alot of work to do if the wolf is to survive. Especially since there are shows like maneaters wolves/coyotes, which recently aired on Animal Planet, damages the wolf's reputation and brings up non-logical fears once again. 2) Romeo the Wolf in Alaska, has gone missing. We hope he is safe. Read his story here. http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/ap_alaska/story/1108029.html 3) An event which left people puzzled is the fact that wolves are living side by side with coyotes in Wisconsin. http://www.wisconsinrapidstribune.com/article/20100124/WRT0204/1240404/1 829 Should that be surprising? They do mate together on occasion, and wolves even spare the lives of bears on their territories, and have shown behavior that 'surprises' 'scientists' and 'biologists'. Well, animals are smarter than one thinks they are, and their behaviors are that which one shouldn't quantify or judge. 4) In Pennsylvania, coyote-wolf hybrids are being targeted for death in coyote hunts. Oppose the hunts today by contacting the Pennsylvania government and their Fish and Game agency. PA Government http://www.congress.org/congressorg/officials/congress/?district=01&lvl=C&a zip=19019&state=PA PA Game Commission http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt?open=514&objID=562928&mode =2 5) At the Chattanooga Nature Center, there is now 7 red wolves total. Which is good news. The more the better. http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2010/jan/25/red-wolf-pack-grows/?local Also in Tennessee, the Bays Mountain Park will re-open since one out of the two missing wolves was found. At least one of the wolves was found and the park was re-opened. http://www.timesnews.net/article.php?id=9020116 Anti-Wolf Media 1/28/2009 1) Christensen's Hunting Illustrated Winter 2010 had an article called, Idaho Wolf Hunt, by Jason Erdmann. The article writer sadistically hunted down a wolf out of a wolf pack and slaughtered a wolf. It's described in horrible detail. The writer clearly didn't like pro-wolf views on wolves, and fully supported the management status of wolves in control of the state. He claims without proof like most who don't like wolves do, that they are decimating herds and that they are changing the habits of elk. Well behavior will change when elk who aren't used to being chased will be chased by their natural predator neighbors. Hunters are just used to having elk being lazy and pot-shotting them and getting sadistic joy out of it. He and his brothers bloodbath didn't stop there. They slaughtered elk too. He missed the first time in murdering a wolf but unfortunately as we stated above, did succeed in destroying one off of the earth. He tries to play sympathy as he claims to have nightmares for missing that first wolf. Well I am sure wolves have nightmares all the time of fearing for their lives, destroyed at the hands of humans. Ultimately, this hunter shoots another wolf, and the wolf runs, and the hunter relentlessly follows the poor wolf's trail and shoots it at 15 yards away. Erdmann described his experience as 'shaking like a leaf'. He even says he thanked the 'good lord' for the 'hunt'. Erdmann goes on to say he hopes the management continues and that this way there will be one dominant species and that it will benefit the economy, elk as well. This is all wrong, and as we told you, this is why the USFWS was pushing for delisting and illegally got it, thanks to Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar. State agencies support the slaughter of wolves, and so do countries all around the world for these reasons. Which are immoral and barbarous. Eardmann will be coming out with a DVD unfortunately of his hunt. And they do hate the wolf, check out their magazine on previous occasions: http://www.myvirtualpaper.com/doc/Kings-Outdoor-World/Hunting-Illustrated-M agazine/2008102901/4.html Unless if we educate the populace, the hunting industry will continue to drive wolf conservation, eliminate protection of wolves, and cause more damage. Contact Hunting Illustrated at: http://www.huntingillustrated.com/contact-us/ http://www.huntingillustrated.com/comments/feed/ editor@huntingillustrated.com Hunters everywhere want wolves controlled, while they can do whatever they want, which is destroy life without quarter. http://www.startribune.com/sports/outdoors/82752032.html?page=1&c=y In the meantime, go to: http://www.heartofthewolf.org/StopTheHunts.html Take action! The Idaho hunts continue until March, if not before, or longer! This has to stop. Obama promised change. There has been none, except for more dead wolves!
