Don’t fret, Micelle. Maybe you’ve heard of the ESA, Endangered Species Act? It was followed, and continues to be – at least by sportsmen and women – to the letter all along with regard to wolves. We promise to do so into the future, as well.

The days of market hunting are gone; let it go! Please attempt to locate a single game species – such as the modern wolf – that has not been managed to sustainability through regulated hunting and government orders.

We’ve come a long way since then. For example, look at how the turkeys, whitetail deer, bald eagles, and so many more creatures have benefited from the money injected into wildlife management via hunters. It may seem counter-intuitive to the casual, cause-alarmist, but hunting dollars make the animal kingdom flourish. And, yes, even non-game species benefit. And, please do not overlook the fact that man is an animal, too; that he is charged with the responsibility to manage animals in the face of ever-diminishing available habitat. As consumers, we must continue understand this, and thankfully, sensible people do and they make up the vast majority.

They will be saved, Micelle – just not all of them. And, come to think of it, isn’t that the way with us humans, as well?

Agreed but we can only curtail the bloodshed by minimizing the wolves’ attacks on pets and livestock and wildlife we cherish. We’ve patiently waited for ESA protections to be lifted and now they’ll be managed like the rest of the wildlife – with scientific analysis, not emotional, rhetorical nonsense. Be sure to make your donation today to the money grabbing Humane Society of the U.S. They will appreciate your tears and money so very much.
