SAVE NORTHERN ROCKIES WOLVES!


http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/22/us/22wolves.html?hp

Wolves in the rockies have been delisted as a threatened species by the good old Bush administration. Unless this decision is overturned in court soon, fifty percent or more of them will die. the governors of each state have set a limit of 150 animals per state, and it seems that farmers will go to drastic lengths (aerial gunning from helicopters) to kill these vulnerable communities of animals. It is now only a matter of time until there are about 450 animals from the previous amount (just over 1000). I mean, there are more people living in my tiny mile square hometown than there are rockies wolves. The solution to the problem cannot be death to an animal that is still so vulnerable! I would have more to say but I'm still a little numb right now.

above is a petition if you want to help.

The Idaho politicians are completely honest about there intent; they plan to decimate 80% of a population that has just come off the endangered species act. Although wolves have given cattle farmers trouble, the number of cattle killed by wolves is somewhat marginal in comparison to the number of cattle who die due to disease. For me, nothing can justify the decimation of an entire way of life, and alternatives can surely be found. I ask you, who is controlling the human population? Please act now to save Northern Rockies wolves.
