Calling All Wolf Lovers!

Hi everyone!

Today I am writing with much anger and sorrow. I love wolves and hate hunting them. This article in the Outdoor Life February 2011 addition is very sorrowful for me. Here I have posted the article.

Crying Wolf

"There was a significant interest here in Idaho in the hunt continuing," says Ed Mitchell, spokesperson for Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG), "and we were expecting pretty strong tags sales for a 2010 hunt."
More wolf hunts, though, went into limbo in August 2010, when a US Federal District Court formally reinstated federal ESA protections for wolves in the Northern Rockies, due to lawsuits brought brought by animal-rights and anti-hunting groups.
While that still left much day-to-day management to the states, reinstating ESA protections stopped any public hunting or trapping.

The blockage to public wolf hunting is a shame. IDFG sold more than 30,000 wolf hunting licenses for it's very first hunt, generating nearly a half-million dollars in revenue. That hunt opened on September 1, 2009 and ended on March 30,2010. In all, 188 wolves were taken.

Fingers Crossed
More wolf hunts? Not impossible. Montana is petitioning the feds for greater wolf management authority, while Western legislators have promised to find a way to give wolf control to the states.

Well, now that you read most of the article, can you see what I mean? Why do people hate wolves so much? What have they done to us?
We can stop wolf hunts. Work with me and we can find a way to stop all hunting FOREVER.

Luv the Black Hearts!
