Wolves Protected Again
07.31.2008Well, the wolves didn’t last very long. They’re already back on the endangered species list, thanks to some pandering judge in Missoula, MT. So much for getting a wolf tag this season. Stupid animal rights idiots.

I really hate pit bulls, and highly condone this type of handling. I especially like stupid news reporters like Scott Evans, who write nonsensical image captions like this.
Right on. 25 Wolf tags will be given out this season. People are getting sassy about it too.
I really don’t see anything wrong with this. Why is a dolphin any different than Tuna? Or any other animal?
And the “veteran” said “It’s hard to believe that this is taking place in this time”. Uh… no it’s not. This has been taking place since the dawn of the fishing boat.
And as for the “heroes” girl… celebrity activism? now thats entertainment.
First documented case in North America of a healthy wolf killing a human in the wild

A coroner’s jury in Saskatchewan has determined that Ontario university student Kenton Carnegie was killed in a wolf attack.
Carnegie was 22 when he died in November 2005 near Points North Landing, Sask. On a work term for a company at the mining exploration camp, located about 750 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon, Carnegie went for a walk and didn’t come back.
Searchers later found his body surrounded by wolves.
Witnesses told the inquest that wild animals had been feeding at an unregulated garbage dump. Concerns were expressed that wolves in the area had lost their natural fear of humans.
Paul Paquet, an expert on wolf biology who studied the case for the coroner’s office, told the inquest earlier in the week that it was more likely that a black bear killed Carnegie, although a wolf attack was also a possibility.
He said he based his findings on all the evidence, including the way the body had been consumed and moved around.
But his evidence didn’t jibe with what people on the scene observed. No one reported seeing a bear in the area.
Another wolf expert, Mark McNay, who had studied the case for Carnegie’s family, told the jury he was convinced it was a wolf attack.
The jury’s finding is significant, because there are no documented cases in North America of a healthy wolf killing a human in the wild.
The jury made a series of recommendations on how to prevent similar incidents. Among them is a requirement for the Saskatchewan Environment Department to provide proper fencing and supervision at all landfills where there are known to be wildlife feeding.
Alas, I knew the bliss could not last forever. The “Vegans Are Very Good Looking” group has laid down the ban hammer on me.
These are the ranks of the very good looking people I was in with, till this unfortunate misunderstanding of my stance on meaty goodness.
I think the asian one is a d00d. not real sure. at least you can still see me eating on a varmint, in the pool.
Wolves have always been an issue for hunters and ranchers in the Idaho Panhandle. The threat of running into a wolf in the woods is not so great that everybody has, but everyone knows someone who has. So hatred of the wolf has become pretty strong. I think the main reason for the hatred is the fact that we cannot destroy them when we do encounter one. Hunters have had to stand idly by while their best hound dog was torn apart, after a mistake encounter.
There are apparently only three packs in the northern part of the Panhandle. But they have yet to cause any problems. It’s more the lone wolves that get into tangles with hunters and ranchers’ cattle.
There have been a couple groups working toward removing wolves from the protected species list. And it seems that we’ll be able to shoot em only in a tangle come early next year. This is more toward the common sense approach that we’ve been trying for.
I really don’t see why we even reintroduced them back in 1995. What good does a wolf have to offer the ecosystem? Why let wolves reduce the elk count, when a paying hunter can better manage their growth?
Wolves slowly handed to state

NORTH IDAHO — A plan that could alter the way wolves are managed in Idaho has been reopened for public comment by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The proposed plan would grant state and tribal governments flexibility in killing wolves if they are shown to have caused a major decline in elk, deer or moose populations.
The plan would also give citizens on private or public land the legal right to kill a wolf that is in the act of attacking their dog or stock animal.
If there is anything that makes me smile, its watching greenpeace protesters get a good solid shut down.
Police rammed two inflatable speed boats that breached a security zone around a seaside resort where world leaders were meeting today, tipping activists into the Baltic and injuring three of them.
A spokesman for environmental pressure group Greenpeace said the boats had attempted to deliver a message to world leaders gathered in a luxury hotel in Heiligendamm to commit to measurable targets for cuts in greenhouse emissions.
Four protesters ended up in the Baltic waters after the chase. A banner saying “G8 act now” had been displayed on one of the boats.
The more I learn about Ted Nugent… the more I dearly love the guy. He doesn’t pull any punches. I just stumbled across this interview with a british journalist, while searching for hunting quotes.
Ted Nugent, a heavy metal guitar legend and devoted (bow) hunter, was being interviewed by a French journalist. Eventually, the conversation turned to his love of outdoor pursuits. The journalist asked, “What do you think the last thought is in the head of a deer before you shoot it? Is it, “Are you my friend?” or maybe “Are you the one who killed my brother?”
Nugent replied, “They aren’t capable of that kind of thinking. All they care about is, What am I going to eat next? Who am I going to screw next? and, Can I run fast enough to get away? They are very much like the French in that.”

Two employees of the radical animal-rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) have been arrested and will be charged with 31 felony counts of animal cruelty. A month-long investigation in Ahoskie, NC helped authorities nab the PETA activists as they dumped dead dogs — including SEVEN PUPPIES — in a dumpster behind a local Piggly Wiggly.
Authorities investigated similar dumpings for four weeks. Perhaps not coincidentally, that’s also how long the Center for Consumer Freedom has run a billboard in New York City’s Times Square. The billboard has exposed millions of Americans to PETA’s dirty secret — PETA Kills Animals! PETA put to death more than 10,000 animals from 1998 to 2003 — and the group is four weeks late filing state papers indicating how many more dogs and cats it killed in 2004.
Read the breaking news story at www.PETAkillsAnimals.com. And don’t forget to tell everyone you know about our petition to revoke PETA’s tax-exempt status and urge them to sign on at www.PetaPetition.com.
Please help us continue to expose PETA’s shocking hypocrisy by forwarding this email on to friends and relatives and making a small donation at www.consumerfreedom.com/donations.cfm.
Well isn’t that a shocker?!?!
Not really. PETA believes that its better to kill a horse, than to have it suffer as a slave. Morons.
Update » Bwa haha. Just over at my buddy, Medic’s site. He posted this audio bit from a PETA caller to a radio show the other day.
I just got this newsflash in the email. But fer some reason…. it doesn’t surprise me.
NEWS FLASH: PETA KILLS ANIMALS!
Since you are one of the 63,000 Americans who visited www.PETApetition.com and signed our online petition (encouraging the IRS to revoke PETA’s federal tax-exemption), you already understand the hidden threat that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and its $25 million annual budget pose to the American way of life.
If PETA were ever to reach its goal and impose “total animal liberation” on the rest of us, meat and dairy foods would become things of the past. The same goes for zoos, aquariums, rodeos, circuses, hunting, fishing, leather, wool, silk, and even lifesaving medical research that requires the use of lab rats. Now PETA’s scandalous story has become even more disturbing. We’ve discovered that since 1998, PETA has actually “liberated” over 10,000 dogs and cats — from life itself. PETA killed these animals at its Virginia headquarters, rather than spending a portion of its enormous bankroll actually caring for them.
You can find the shocking details at a new website, www.PetaKillsAnimals.com. In order to spread the word about PETA’s stunning hypocrisy, we unveiled a giant billboard today in New York City’s famed Times Square. But please do your part by forwarding this e-mail to everyone in your address book.
PETA kills animals — and they dare lecture the rest of us! For more breaking news about PETA, bookmark www.ConsumerFreedom.com and visit us there regularly.

And if you haven’t signed that petition… you need to. I signed it about a year ago.
