Dozens of protesters make stand in La Grande against wolves

Posted in Wolf Current Events, Wolf Preservation Efforts on March 12, 2011| Leave a Comment »


 Richard Cockle, The Oregonian from Oreganlive.com reports the following information:

“LA GRANDE — Shouldering signs proclaiming “Wolves are at Your Door!” and “Protect Our Children – No Wolves in Oregon,” about 60 protesters gathered today in front of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife offices.
Organizer Dale Potter  of Joseph led a delegation from Wallowa County that wants to prevent further population gains by gray wolves in Oregon. “The wolf is going to do away with big game hunting. It’s going to do away with the livestock industry,” Potter, a retired U.S. Air Force pilot, said as the demonstrators gathered.” 

While I can understand Dale Potter’s argument for avoiding livestock losses, there has to be a better way to co-exist with wolves instead of getting rid of all twenty wolves living there.  Why should wolves be hunted for purposes of boosting big game animals for sport?  To see the rest of the article, please click on the link below.
