You should be angry. You should write and petition your local politicians, newspapers, print and hand out flyers to everyone at your local libraries: include Montana and Idaho Governor’s name and contact information so people can flood their office with outrage! These leaders of wolf ASSASINATIONS are Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer (http://governor.mt.gov/contact/commentsform.asp) and Idaho Governor C.L. “Butch” Otter (http://gov.idaho.gov/ourgov/contact.html). The following article is one example of such a brutal slaying, a wolf gunned down from an airplane:
“John Peavey, a former Idaho politician, and Diane Josephy Peavey, a former commentator on Boise State Public Radio, who’s Flat Top Ranch near Carey, Idaho has reportedly received payments totaling $970,139 from 1995 through 2010 according to the Environmental Working Group’s Farm Subsidy Database, has received another subsidy in the form of 3 dead wolves.
On Wednesday , USDA Wildlife Services swooped in with their airplane, which was formerly decorated with stickers commemorating each wolf it killed, and shot down 3 wolves accused of killing a calf on John and Diane’s property. The scene was witnessed by wolf activist Natalie Ertz who related the story to the Idaho Mountain Express.
The alpha female has survived three kill orders and coyote traps over the last several years and six pups from her pack were found dead in 2009. Their cause of death was never determined but a poison such as compound 1080, which may not have been detectable after a certain period of decomposition, remains a possible cause.”
