Wolf Saga And The Continued Delisting Myth

Home > Wolf Saga And The Continued Delisting Myth

I am getting just a little sick of seeing the major media, one after another, promoting articles where they seem to go to great effort to find perceived experts who distort and misrepresent the reality of this wolf introduction. It appears that these same reporters aren’t interested in putting forth any effort to find a credible individual (expert) to give an opposing view. Their mission appears one-sided and self-serving as they are only interested in portraying the view that implores and exemplifies the “poor wolves being slaughtered”. They go to great lengths to find this or that expert to throw out statements that suggest any kind of control is against the law, and attempting such will result in the wholesale killing of wolves. I have yet to see a single mainstream article giving an apposing view. There are a few known experts that are willing to swim against the tide, individuals like Dr. Charles Kay, Dr., Val Geist, Dr. Bergerud, The Outdoorsman (George Dovel, publisher/editer) and a few others (Western Institute for Study of Environment and the Black Bear Blog) – all have attempted to get the word out – but the main stream media is not interested in facts and in what they have to say. The Media appears to be only interested in portraying their particular self-serving views on this wolf subject. When we have contacted some reporters who will remain unnamed, they have told us they would like to give our view but they fear for their jobs if they dare report anything that goes against the PC (politically correct) establishment on this wolf issue. Who is benefiting from the Media’s censored filtered coverage? The main beneficiary are the self-serving “Greenie” organizations like Defenders of Wildlife, EarthJustice, Sierra Club, Peta, Western Watersheds and many others. Our “trusted” media is proving to be nothing more than a front for and major catalyst to further these organizations self-serving agendas, and defacto for enhancing their fund raising. Our media has been hijacked and it appears they will never be objective on this wolf issue. Our media appears content to play the role of the Pawn to front the greenie agenda and it seems they are oblivious to the high powered “Greenie” machine steam rolling over and destroying our western heritage. For anyone who dares to stand in their way of their agenda, there is no fairness doctrine – their approach is to simply “destroy, take no prisoners and show no remorse”. The only thing that matters is to continue their agenda and continue success in their fund-raising mechanism.

In my opinion, the only way for the facts and reality of this wolf issue to prevail is for us to play by their rules. Somehow we must find a way to get our message out. We have attempted to get the word out by creating our SaveELK.com website. However, at the end of the day it is debatable whether this website or any of collective efforts will have any impact. The public is not getting informed. In my opinion, the USFW Service (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), the IDF&G (Idaho Department of Fish and Game) and other governmental entities have been playing right into the hands of the press by not aggressively challenging reporters and media outlets when miss-statements and distorted, miss-informed reporting occurs.

The only way to turn the tide is for everyone concerned about this issue, including representatives of the IDF&G and USFW Service, to embark on an aggressive media and communication campaign to ”inform” the public about the reality of the carnage to our wildlife resulting from the unbridled expansion of wolves into our region. No matter how politically incorrect, the public must be informed of the facts. Frankly, for anyone who is undecided on this issue I encourage them to take the time to go through the SaveElk website. If they still believe that wolves are not doing serious damage and that they should not be aggressively managed, they are either missing a few screws or a sadist. Its time for all of us to challenge the PC establishment about wolves, and challenge the view that it is ok to allow this senseless killing, torture, eating alive and systematic eradication of our native wildlife to continue.

We are out gunned, out funded, out voted and a minority in the public opinion polls. We are up against huge fund raising money machines that are capable of mobilizing great throngs of people to further and to contribute to their cause. We cannot let this reality deter us, and we cannot continue to play the game the same way we have in the past or we are destined to lose. We must mobilize and do whatever we can to change public opinion and get the facts out. In the end the only hope we have is that common sense will prevail once the “real” facts are out for everyone to see.

Contact your local media, write letters to the newspaper, conduct radio interviews, rally your sportsman groups, call & write your legislators and your governor, inform your Fish & Wildlife representatives. Its time that we all do our part.

The problem with the whole common sense thing is that very few of them have it. They think with their hearts and not their minds. You can show them pictures and tell them what is really going on and they’ll never believe it. I think even if they saw what’s really going on some of them would still make an exuse for the wolves, oh that was just an isolated incident and things like that. They’re set in their ways just as we are. The biggest difference is we have to live with it and they can come out for a week or two in the summer and say how wonderful everything is. The only outdoor experiencethey get is from disney and when they come out here on vacation. To bad we can’t tell tem how they should live and think. Most of us have better things to do than try and figure out what’s best for others.

I am so tired of the animal rights groups failing to get it, as much as the wolf issues bother me, there is another that is worth mentioning. The animal rights activist got the horse slaughter plants closed. Slaughter was a way to eliminate old, sick, or dangerous horses. Now under new legislation, the only way is to hire a vet to come out and euthinize horses costing hundreds. The horse market was already flooded, mostly due to the birth control companies getting sued, therefore cancelling hundreds of contracts in MN and ND, therefore overnight flooding the market with 10,000 bred mares. There is no market at all for horses now, people are lucky to get $25.00 for a colt. I have heard people are considering turning them lose, and horses being abused and negilected has raised big time. I currently own a herd of breeding stock reg. QUARTER HORSES, whereas I can no longer move colts. I cherish my horses, but the law need to change back so that the slaughter plants can reopen, therefore eliminating old, sick, and dangerous horses. This will also bring back the market. MN had a multi-million dollar horse industry!!! To top it off, I heard on the news this morning that the government is upset because they have only been able to sell 700 of the 7000 wild horses they round up annually and sell to the public for $125.00 each. So I ask, what will the government do with the 6300 this year that they can not sell? Maybe they will add it as another earmark in a stimulus plan to provide these 6300 wild horses with care and food, that the tax payers will pay. So not only would I be paying to care for the quarter horses I have that I can not sell, but I will also have to pay for the wild horses, and with all the people that are turning thier horses out, the number of wild horses could easliy be 20,000 horses, will the government will ask us all to pay? Thank you again animal right activist!!! Also, thank you government, next time just tell them “NO” as thier save the horse/wolf/world tactics are backfireing on us all to include the horses.

Christine – The ignorant, misinformed and uniformed masses are being led to believe that if man would just leave everything alone (pertaining to animals, lands and environment) it will magically take care of itself.
Yours is a prime example of why you just can willy nilly end slaughterhouses. They actually serve a purpose but the truth is covered up in favor of personal ignorant agendas.
