Let the wolves live in FREEDOM




Let the wolves live in FREEDOM


Wolves are having a very, VERY tough time this year.
First there was HR.1, a bill allowing for wolves to be de-listed from the ESA by POLITICS not SCIENCE, then hunted and controlled, allowing for wolves to be shot on sight all over the U.S., gassed in their dens, shot down from airplanes, and possibly meaning the extinction of the Mexican gray wolf.
Fortunately, this bill was not passed. But now there are several more bills like it.
Not to mention the new 'settlement' made by 10 plaintiff ENVIRONMENTAL groups, including Defenders of Wildlife and NRDC, allowing for the hunting of wolves in ID and MT, and TRUSTING THESE STATES to manage wolves SCIENTIFICALLY.
Which seems impossible.
Well we'll see what the consequences are, how it works out for wolves... if it turns out badly, hopefully people will learn from it.
But whatever happens, we MUST keep fighting to keep wolves protected so they can live in freedom forever.
