1. I posted this on another thread....

We are disgusting people who worship guns and kill shit.

“Americans are among the most bloodthirsty among citizens of the world when it comes to trophy hunting, in particular lions and elephants,“ said Jeff Flocken, North American regional director for the International Fund for Animal Welfare. “It’s a small group of privileged Americans. Eighty percent or more of Americans want to see endangered species protected.”

3. This administration helped make it possible

Like all American administrations, they exhibit little understanding -- and much fear -- of wildlife. Particularly bigger, carnivorous wildlife.

We have now successfully gotten the population to sustainable levels.

11. This just kills me inside

I thought after Bush left office I would never have to write those letters nor make those phonecalls again. What a disappointment this administration has been in this matter. All those years of carefully reintroducing the wolves back into the wild....and then this.
