Idaho Completes Wolf Control with Helicopter

Fish and Game prefers to manage wolf populations using hunters and trappers and only authorizes control actions where harvest has been insufficient to meet management goals.

Idaho Fish and Game, in cooperation with the USDA Wildlife Services, has completed another wolf control action in northern Idaho’s Lolo elk zone near the Idaho/Montana border to improve poor elk survival in the area.

In February, Wildlife Services agents killed 23 wolves from a helicopter.  The action is consistent with Idaho’s predation management plan for the Lolo elk zone, where predation is the major reason elk population numbers are considerably below management objectives. Read more

At least 33 dead, 130 wounded in train station ‘knife’ attack in China

GW:  OK, so we got rid of all the guns in China – at least among the commoners.  Now whoever wields the longest blade wins.  Gun Control means that at least none of the law-abiding citizens were killed with guns.  Ah, but they’re stone dead, nonetheless.

The killers stormed the Kunming train station in Yunnan province and started attacking people in the late evening.   See the results of complete gun control here…

HSUS’ Bogus University Goes Under

This from www.HumaneWatch.org…

Several years ago the Humane Society of the United States launched “Humane Society University”—but don’t let the name fool you, it wasn’t a legitimate institute of higher education. HSU was not accredited as a degree-granting institution. And it now seems to be a nearly non-existent entity.

HSU’s website announces that classes are suspended indefinitely. HSU “is currently not accepting applications for enrollment into the College of Arts and Sciences”—we presume this is a liberal use of the word “college”—and “Online professional development programs are under review and no courses are being offered during the Winter term.” HSU president Michael Blackwell has abruptly become a senior director at HSUS, where he can be a white-coated flak. The website is lacking much of the content it had previously.

Translation: School’s out. Perhaps for good. Read more
