This time it doesn't matter where you live (outside USA choose "non-USA" from the drop-down list) if you care about wolves go to this page and sign the petition demanding that Interior Secretary Gale Norton enforce the Federal Airborne Hunting Act: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/867854889 The goal is 50,000 signatures so please pass the word around. Thanks, on behalf of Alaska's wolves. > This time it doesn't matter where you live (outside USA choose > "non-USA" from the drop-down list) if you care about wolves go to [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Thanks, on behalf of Alaska's wolves.

Idaho's as well.

Years ago, the government subsidized ranchers for any livestock lost, and left the wolves alone. I don't know whether a similar program still exists, but I daresay it should, as the government spends money on stupider and less worthy programs. And the *sport* of hunting from a helicopter is just too insane and gross for words.

As though the gun didn't give the hunter unfair advantage enough, without approaching from overhead, where no lupine natural enemies lurk! > Sherry >Years ago, the government subsidized ranchers for any livestock lost, >and left the wolves alone.

As I understand it, there are government programs to compensate for wolf depredation, but they are state run programs, rather than federal. Some of the wildlife conservation organzations compensate ranchers, such as the Defenders of Wildlife - which had had a trust fund for this purpose around since the mid-80s http://www.defenders.org/wildlife/new/facts/faq.html >And the *sport* of hunting from a helicopter is just too insane and >gross for words. > >Sherry SignatureSteve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Spot with loving memories of Rocky (RB) stouchst@JUNKsirinet.net [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html > This time it doesn't matter where you live (outside USA choose "non-USA" > from the drop-down list) if you care about wolves go to this page and sign [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Done, Pat.... Wolves are an indicator speicies.... they give us a clue as to the realative health of an area's ecosystem.... You don't think they're letting them get killed, cause they'd rather not know....?

Things that make >me go, hmmmmmm. It's not just that wolves are an indicator species, they do some of the work of keeping it healthy. I recently read an article about the resurgence of aspen and willow in Yellowstone Park, due to the control the re-introduced wolves exert on elk. Having the proper predators at the top of a mature ecosystem is essential. SignatureWayne M. > Having the proper predators at the top of a mature ecosystem is > essential. > > -- > > Wayne M. Well...I suppose we could legalize the hunting of wolves if the population becomes out of control. One on one. On their turf, ha. None of this helicopter stuff. Sherry >>Having the proper predators at the top of a mature ecosystem is >>essential. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > population becomes out of control. > One on one. On their turf, ha. None of this helicopter stuff. Primitive peoples hunted to live, but they RESPECTED their prey! (In most cultures explaining to the animal's spirit why they killed it, and asking its forgiveness.)
