12. Does anyone know of an organization that is prepared to try a new tactic to stop this?

I contribute monthly to Defenders of Wildlife and the Sierra Club. They have been trying to battle these things in court, but we are still losing ground during a democratic administration. I'm beyond disgusted with the situation and I'm ready to move my contributions to some group that is ready to take stronger action.
My suggestion to those groups is a campaign like that with the tuna industry that produced the "dolphin safe" labels. I was thinking a "wildlife safe" label for beef that comes from ranches that support conservation and use non-lethal detterants for wolves. Or a boycott of states that don't have a good management plan for tourism, conferences, etc.
I'm going to call the humane society next, but was wondering if anyone knew of a group that is ready to take on the beef industry (and I know they aren't the only anti-wolf group, but they are financially the strongest and most vocal).
