Americas Wolves are in terrible Danger yet again!
After working so long and hard to enable protection for our Wolves, it is quite frustrating to see there are still so many ignorant and heartless people who are trying to devastate the Wolf populations in the Greater Yellowstone park and other places. Some people do not seem to understand that the Creator placed the animals here to help keep the Balance on this planet, and humans do not have the right to destroy and elimate at will, or to their own pleasure. Please step up with compassion to help put a stop to the wanton slaughter of our beautiful Wolf brothers and sisters who have the right to Life and Freedom as much as Humans do. I would like to share a letter and plea for help that I just recieved from Defenders of Wildlife. This is vital, and we do not have the time to mess around on this one, as Wolves will die if we do not put a stop to the madness…
Dear Teri,
I have some terrible news. Today, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced that he would follow the discredited path of the Bush Administration and delist wolves in the Northern Rockies and Greater Yellowstone region.
This is a stunning development, just six weeks into the Obama Administration. This delisting paves the way for almost 1000 wolves to be killed under deadly state management plans in Idaho and Montana.
The killing could begin in just weeks.
As I write this, we are already preparing an emergency legal challenge to this harmful proposal — and we’ll be in court as quickly as possible. But we need your help for the legal fight ahead.
This delisting will put the fate of our wolves in the hands of state governments that want to slaughter nearly 1,000 wolves. Last year, when federal wolf protections were temporarily lifted in the region, more than 100 wolves were killed in just a short time – including the world renowned “Limpy.”
In addition, regular wolf hunting seasons could begin as early as this fall in Idaho and Montana — and Idaho Governor “Butch” Otter said again today that he still wants the first available hunting tag to shoot a wolf himself.
We can’t allow the out-of-control killing of wolves to happen again.
For more than 35 years, Defenders of Wildlife has fought for our wolves. We were there when the first wolves were reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park and we’ve been there to defend them ever since. We’ve beaten back efforts to prematurely delist these wolves in the past, and I’m confident we can do so again.
Just this week, we celebrated a hard-fought victory made possible with your help as the Senate voted to overturn the Bush Administration’s last-minute gutting of the Endangered Species Act. We now need to beat back another deadly Bush-era plan that will open the door to the slaughter of nearly 1,000 wolves.
Please donate what you can today to save the lives of wolves in the Northern Rockies and Greater Yellowstone.
Together, we can win our legal challenge of the same bad plan originally put forth in the last throes of the Bush Administration — and ensure that our wolves will continue to be around for future generations.
Sincerely,
Rodger Schlickeisen
President
Defenders of Wildlife

Unborn Babies are MORE important that America’s Wolves. Priorities People!

Hmmm… what does unborn babies have to do with the subject of Wolves Angela? Unborn babies are more important than a LOT of things, and I do not understand the relevance here. Some of us work pretty hard to care for this planet and ALL that inhabits it, human or not. Otherwise the ecosystem will just disintegrate and the babies being born will have to survive under very dismal conditions.
And seriously why do humans believe their lives are more important than any other? Does not a wolf mother care for her young, and mourn a loss as we do? Who are we to be the judge, as if we have the power of the Creator, to decide what deserves to live, and what must be destroyed?
All Life is Sacred, and we need to live up to the instructions given to us by the Sacred Spirit who placed us upon this planet. We are meant to be stewards of this beautiful Earth, not destroyers.
I have the time and the heart to devote to the babies AND the animals. Seriously, do you think blogging for a clean, green, beautiful Earth, and saving the animals is ALL I do? Think again before judging another upon her mission to accomplish certain goals that are near and dear to her heart my friend. My priorities are in perfect order.
