They're killing wolves again

1. Bush signed a bill last week that would allow the aerial shooting of hundreds of wolves in Yellowstone National Park and the Rocky Mountains--animals which are supposedly protected by our Endangered Species Act--culling them down to less than a 100. There is no fucking reason for this. They've only been reintroduced there for a dozen years and the wolves have brought balance back to Yellowstone. In defense of the wolves, Defenders of Wildlife has taken the government twats to court.

2. Alaska's Governor passed a law that would bring back the aerial shooting of wolves. Not for population control--which is the fucked-up excuse for Yellowstone wolves--but for *sport.* Many states stupidly allow sport hunting but wolves are an endangered species and protected and they have no right to go after them(or any other wild animal). However, Bush allowed dispensation to Alaska's Governor based on the fact that "sport" shooting brings revenue, so here he is, violating yet another law.

Why are they doing this? Because they're greedy hunters and anti-wolf, no other reason. There is no predation of livestock(except for the occasional loss of a single farm animal from some fucked up rancher who can't keep his shit protected properly) and there are no threats to humans. But that's not going to stop killers from killing. If they don't curb this bullshit attitude and stop what they're doing, nature is going to retaliate. Frankly, I say we take those Hunter Killers out, Bush included, for a nice little aerial recreation of The Most Dangerous Game, and then ask them later if sport hunting is fun and profitable.

  No! A lot of those wolves came from Alberta! They can't kill them. Fucking bastards.
  
  I get killing off an animal when it starts getting dangerous. Hell, I grew up in an area where every once in awhile you have to kill off the coyotes because the population gets so high locally that more than just livestock are in danger. Wolves though? They are barely clinging to life! Grr!

    See, this is what happens when we have a president who thinks it's okay to shoot doves for sport and have a VP who thinks it's okay to shoot people for sport. This shooting bullshit will get rescinded once the right person is in the White House. I just hope Defenders of Wildlife can keep the government tied up in court for the next 11 months. That should buy the Yellowstone wolves some time--however, law or no law, those suck-ass rat bastard ranchers in Wyoming and Montana will shoot the wolves and sell their hides as trophies. They don't have a reason for shooting them other than slightly monetary gain and sick trophy shooting. Predation isn't the problem because Winter is the only time wolves come near any human habitation and that's out of starvation because the elk herds have been changing their migration patterns. Still, very few wolves comes near, but the ranchers don't give a shit. They think all wolves should be eliminated, no matter where they are. These are the same fuckfaces who'll go out and do the same thing to gays. We're not dealing with intelligent human beings here. We're dealing with sadistic psychopaths.
    
    And unfortunately, nothing can be done about Alaska until that state gets a humane Governor who will outlaw sport hunting on wolves. Makes me ashamed to have been born in that state.
