The Only Good Wolf is a Dead One

Once again the Regime is demonstrating its total lack of concern for other species and healthy natural resource management. It is proposing to declare open season on the grey wolf in Wyoming and Idaho were the beautiful carnivore is making a recovery. The 103 Rule, as the proposal is referred to, would allow killing to begin as early as this October even before the wolf is removed from the Endangered Species list. Even though the wolf is repopulating the Yellowstone Basin and the Selway-Bitteroot region of central Idaho, it still only occupies 5% of its historic range. The public has until August 6th to tell government officials that it does not want another symbol of the wild West destroyed needlessly. Go to NRDC's website and register your official comments.
