| 2) In Idaho the mysterious deaths of 6 young wolves has been called off. The cause of death is unknown and the case is left open if any new leads may occur. We hope one day the cause can be found and justice will happen. http://www.mtexpress.com/vu_breaking_story.php?bid=8276 3) The MIDNR and USFWS are trying to find a poacher who killed a wolf recently. They say that poaching hampers their efforts to delist wolves. Both viewpoints and methods and disastrous. Poaching and murder are wrong. Period. We hope the killer will be found and justice served, but delisting doesn't help when those who want them dead legally can do whatever they want. http://www.fox21online.com/news/officials-seek-info-about-ontonagon-county-wolf-poaching 4) Wolf re-introduction is coming at a cross roads in the Southwest. All sides are locked in battle. We do empathize the most with those who support the wolf of course, because we realize, that we cannot let murder and mayhem taint this. Once it does, the program won't work. It certainly didn't last time. And it never has to begin with. In any program. Oh yeah, and I found this quote recently. For those who find those who support wolves vs. those who don't as polarizing, I think MLK would agree with me on this... 'The choice today is no longer between violence and nonviolence. It is either nonviolence or nonexistence.' -- Martin Luther King http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/wire/sns-ap-us-endangered-wolf,0,2370174.story 5) Bays Mountain Park's three wolves did escape but they are close to being found. We are hoping they are returned safe and sound.. http://www.timesnews.net/article.php?id=9018843 6) Sadly, 1,600 people in Sweden have wanted the opportunity to hunt wolves. 1/3 of all wolves may be shot, which is 10 to 13 wolves. http://timberwolfinformation.org/info/archieve/newspapers/viewnews.cfm?ID=6170 Shows you how many are in Sweden. And how unethical this is, even if their populations were big. Hunting is barbarous and we must stop this. Contact the Swedish EPA today. 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 This horrible destruction of the environment must end. These agencies are SUPPOSED to protect the wolves and ensure peace between humankind and nature. Instead they are endorsing it's destruction. Population isn't what's the bottom line. It's morals. It would be no different if the American Cancer Society one day had too many people suffering from cancer and let their constituents die to cut costs. I think alot of people would have a hard time with that. But the fact that wolves aren't human makes people think they have the right to be a god over them. Which that isn't right at all. Take action folks. And here below is a review of one Range Article. Parts two and three will be up soon. Thanks to donations like from activists make this possible. Range Magazine Further Promotes Propaganda Against the Wolf "We forget that to each individual of the species [wolves] there is a psychological side, that these animals have intelligence, reason, mind, and that at different times they are governed by varying motives and emotions, which differ in degree only from those which influence us." -- from Wolves and Wolf Nature by George Bird Grinnell -- Audobon Society Range Magazine recently released in their newest issue three articles that clearly throws away logic, science, and ethics and clearly reaches for utilitarianism, fear, and the rejection of such ideals above. The first article is called Mother Nature Unbalanced by Norm Bomer. It starts out as falsely claiming that if any part of nature is interfered with it affects something drastically. Although you may wound a part of nature if you do something negative to it, we can guarantee if you leveled somewhere like Isle Royale, we are sure something bad will happen. http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/content/view/23730/ Bomer tries to thrash groups like the Nature Conservancy for wanting to turn 'productive' land back to protected wilderness. And why not? Most of the land in the U.S., and the world is concrete and filled with people. He tries to juxtapose then his own ideas by saying that colonists, using the earliest methods of utilitarianism and ideas from the Bible were just as right. I am sure you can ask a Native American how smart that was. Especially when he quotes this passage from Genesis: God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." That turned out well since we only have the biggest extinction since the past. http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=1411&page=50 He also tries to use the argument that environmentalism is a religion and that those who support it are against people intervening to help wolves. Not so. Why do you think Wolf Sanctuaries exist. Why do you think we support wolves being bred in captivity if necessary before being released to nature? Bomer talks about the wolf inbreeding issue, but honestly, this is a wolf population that is isolated. Although it is true we need more outside wolves to revitalize the population genetically, you gotta wonder why this came about. Despite what he says, it was no accident that white men who came over in the 1800s, and decimated the area. Manifest Destiny anyone? Also he makes the wolf look villainous, by saying that biologists are just twittling their thumbs while wolves 'destroy' moose as the moose 'destroy' the vegetation there. Right. And he tries to say that wolves kill moose for fun and not for food and that those who support wolves, 'deny' this. If that were true. It would be in every wolf book. If animals killed for fun, like people, I think it would be in every book out there. Not the last time I checked. People kill for fun, hate, dominance and more. Wolves aren't out-of-control. It's people I would like to argue. National Parks are nothing more than small pockets of experiments that people just build around and do what they want. Nature is fine, most think if it consists of being in a National Park that they can control. Which sounds alot like this article...control, domination, and pushing an agenda that bashes those who love and fight for the wolf and land it lives on. It doesn't make sense that this publication thrashes envirogroups and goes against environmental policy, yet tries to claim to support wolves through management. You can't pick and choose science when the false logic simply isn't there. And Bomer doesn't truly believe in the protection of the environment or it's denizens. In a sub-article on the 2nd page of his 1st one, he highlights a rancher and that rancher's war against coyotes. It ends with this.."There is no balance of nature," adds his wife Carol. "It's only because of man's dominion that we are able to balance an unbalanced ecosystem." In these times, the future has never been more uncertain for the wolf, as you can see.

| HEART OF THE WOLF ORGANIZATION NEWS 12/9/2009 The terrible news against wolves continues. 1) The Montana FWP has decided to do two actions as of late. One, they plan on wiping out an entire wolf pack. In particular, the Mitchell Mountain pack. This was connected with goat deaths and livestock dog deaths. Which the problem is is that if you don't use more than one dog, how can one dog alone be enough to ward livestock away from a pack? It can't. Don't blame the wolves. Blame the lack of methods practiced by the Montana FWP. http://www.helenair.com/news/local/article_332066a6-e354-11de-a187-001cc4 c002e0.html They also plan to postpone the issue of bowhunting wolves until next spring. This gives us borrowed time to convince Judge Molloy to stop his illegal support of the delisting of wolves and to relist them. As he should. http://billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/montana/article_d193d810- e406-11de-b6a4-001cc4c002e0.html Contact the Montana FWP in opposition to their methods of murder and mayhem. http://fwp.mt.gov/wildthings/wolf/contact.html |
