Such as GD, Environment & Energy, Pets, Animals Rights, etc.

I gave a chunk of $$ yesterday to "Defenders of Wildlife," a lobbying group to help fight this. I'm so furious that these beautiful beings will be slaughted.

There should be a LOUD public outcry...for many reasons. Besides their intelligence, their beauty, their being the ancestors of our pets, their loving family groups, these wolves actually HELP the environment immensely.

Thanks for your financial contribution as well.

of sheep ranchers. House Majority Leader Moyle is directly tied to an agriculture background as well. I don't see the Governor vetoing this and if he did do the right thing, a swift and sure override effort would follow.

With a projected slaughter rate of up to 90%, using most any method they can think of, passage of this into law will not only affect wolves but the long term health of big game populations too.

In the 35? years or so since reintroduction hunters have found they actually have to hunt healthier animals because of wolves - they think healthy game means easy game - the ability to effortless blast and harvest overpopulated animals while using ATV's from easily accessed, old hunting camps in beat-down riparian areas. Wolves have changed that dynamic resulting in healthier populations of both the hunted and (hopefully) the hunter.

This is another typically short-sighted legislative effort from the short-sighted legislature of my home state.

Goodbye Wolves, hello Chronic Wasting Disease.
