Everyone, please visit the link at the bottom and sign this wonderfully written petition to let officials know how you feel about the delisting of wolves in Montana, Idaho, and other areas. Special thanks to Terrence Moyer for providing this information! The petition reads as follows:
“Target: All those who value our most precious resource and who fight to protect all forms of life.
Sponsored by: Terrence Moyer
Designed to tell our elected officials just how we feel about their decision to use politics and not science in their decision to delist gray wolves from the Endangered Species Act. To bring awareness of the benefits of a balanced ecosystem allowing all forms of plant and animal to coexist naturally as they are intended.”

“House and Senate leaders, with the consent of the White House, allowed a provision tucked into the bowels of the massive federal spending bill to keep the government operating, which will remove wolves in the Northern Rockies from the list of endangered species and hand over management to states who have signaled their unyielding intention to allow widespread killing of wolves. These states will allow sport hunters and ranchers to kill entire families of wolves and to reduce their overall numbers dramatically in the Northern Rockies, bringing them again to the edge of extinction and causing so much suffering to these creatures. It is the first time the Congress has intervened to directly remove a species from the list of protected species.On the merits, it is a terrible decision, and it will mean death and suffering for many hundreds of wolves. But as a matter of process, the whole thing is rotten to the core. There was no debate on the massive spending bill about wolves, and this is an unprecedented act by Congress to delist a federally protected species, by tacking on the directive to a must-pass bill. This is no way to conduct the nation’s business. We are looking more like a banana republic than the world’s greatest democracy. You should be outraged about these abuses of our government process. And we should all feel saddened that the leaders in these legislative bodies have such disdain for the honorable workings of democracy and for the creatures of the planet who depend on our mercy and decency.”
Well said Black Jack!
When politicians align themselves with those that would gut shoot a wild animal, merely because it’s wild, shows you where their morals stand. This bill should never pass, and to de list ANY animal for political reasons, since we know science speaks otherwise, is reckless at least, ignorant and shifty to it’s core!
What animals will suffer next.., and why does science take a back seat to this moronic behavior we all ask…,???
