The federal wolf-killing machine is cranking up again in Idaho. Today the Center for Biological Diversity sent me this update learning, that the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services plans to send gunners in helicopters to shoot wolves in the Lolo Elk Management Zone of the Clearwater National Forest. This is happening as the number of wolves gunned down, trapped and poisoned since 2011 surpasses 4,000 dead -- more than half of them in the state of Idaho alone. The Center is worried this month will be a repeat of last February, when 19 wolves were shot by aerial gunners in the Lolo. Anti-wolf militants have made it clear that they won't stop until nearly every wolf in Idaho is gone, and they have powerful friends ready to spend taxpayer money to help. The Idaho Legislature is right now budgeting another $400,000 to kill wolves in the 2016-17 fiscal year. Last year similar funding was used by the state to kill 72 wolves at an estimated cost of more than $7,000 per animal -- and that's on top of the 250-plus killed by private hunters during the 2014-2015 season. These people have NO humanity in their hearts, they kill to kill and they are willing to spend a fortune to slaughter one of the most intelligent and social species, in our wildlife. They need our help to stand up for wolves and they know how to make this happen. They have defeated wolf-killing proposals from the Great Lakes to the Pacific. They did win in Idaho, the deadliest place in America for wolves -- just last year when they forced the state to abandon its plans to send a trained wolf killer into the Frank Church/River of No Return Wilderness. We all need to support the Center and become part of the Predator Defense Fund to defend wolves from the statehouse to the courthouse. I have become a member sometime back, and I know we all need to show our support. "WE OUR THEIR VOICE' They have the best in seasoned lawyers, scientists and activists which are the best defense that our wolf families have. Please click on the Predator Defense Fund and join, lets make this happen for our WOLVES. Mahalo 4,000 dead wolves is 4,000 too many.
No life is more important than another,and nothing we do is without purpose.
We cannot measure our goodness on what we don't do or what we resist..
We can only measure our goodness on what we embrace and what we create..
Live everyday with joy and kindness in your heart to everyone and every living creature.
Be an Angel of Kindness and know that you have done your very best to Save and Protect...
And one day when we alone are capable, we will rise and forever embraced by the
Kindness we shared... poidogsanuanue
