Join the "Big Howl," and help stop the Obama Admin. from continuing Buscho's wolf-killing policies

http://www.nrdconline.org/campaign/biogems_wolves_bighowl

From the sample letter to Interior Secty' Ken "Cows First!" Salazar:

"I am dismayed that you are carrying out the Bush Administration's plan to take gray wolves off the endangered species list, leaving them vulnerable to mass killing. In so doing, you have abandoned President Obama's pledge to follow a science-based approach to environmental protection.

"According to a letter signed by some 230 scientists, a severe reduction in current wolf numbers would dramatically increase the threat of extinction for a gray wolf population that is still recovering. If you hand wolf management back to the states, more than 600 wolves could be caught in the crossfire.

"Wolves once thrived in much of the lower 48 states. Today, they reside in only five percent of their former range. If there is one place in this country where they should be allowed to flourish, it is in and around Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, and the remote Selway Bitterroot ecosystem in central Idaho..."

1. Thanks for posting this!
I used to be a Bio-gems Defender.

When my oldest starting working last summer, he used his own money to contribute to Defenders of Wildlife. He despises Sarah Palin with the heat of a thousand white hot suns.

2. Who would've thought the Obama Admin. would be on the same general side of the wolf-killing fence,
as Palin, with Rancher Salazar's myopic decision?

A sad start at Interior....

3. I think we should capture wolves and breed them with Italian Greyhounds.

Also, we shouldn't shoot them from helicopters.

But if we made them the size of Italian Greyhounds, they'd be much harder targets.
