    Ralph Maughan

    Here is another case a lot like the Nevada bobcat case, although it involves animals valued much more highly by the authorities. Terry man admits wildlife conspiracy. By Clair Johnson.

  • Disparate groups help develop Idaho wolf kill plan

    Ralph Maughan

    Story in the Helena Independent Record. Disparate groups help develop Idaho wolf kill plan. Link fixed. I think Idaho and Wyoming are going to end up getting whopped by a federal judge like the BLM just did on their bogus new grazing regulations. There’s never been another just recovered endangered species where the first order…

  • Cut the corn: Energy bill should not put any money into corn ethanol

    Ralph Maughan

    This is an editorial in the Salt Lake Tribune today. Congress is currently considering a big energy bill.

  • Relatively dry Yellowstone braces for fire season

    Ralph Maughan

    It could be a bad fire season in Yellowstone Park (and, of course, outside it too). I would say especially in Idaho and Western Wyoming. Relatively dry Yellowstone braces for fire season. By Brett French. Billings Gazette. Update June 15, 2007. Fire potential in Grand Teton and Yellowstone parks worse than last year. By Cory…

‎”At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour.”

Edward Abbey

“The continued existence of wildlife and wilderness is important to the quality of life of humans.”

Jim Fowler
