Comments
Hopefully, someone will form a wolf advocacy group to speak for wolves, maybe all predators?
A group such as the Rocky Mt Elk Foundation, Ducks Unlimited, Isaac Walton and others, which although hunter based, do a whale of a lot of good! Those who support wolf reintroduction now need a place to put or money AND our mouths!
Bob, Wildlife Watchers will be in operation soon – within a matter of weeks. We intend to speak for ALL wildlife.
Check our concept below; web page is in the works.

On the contrary, (not to what you wrote Sally), but the article.
Jimenez would lose all of the good will from conservationists. Goodwill towards him hasn’t been growing the last 3-4 years anyway.
i thought this interesting:
this idea is waning
What are you going to do and/or say when this great slaughter of wolves doesn’t occur?
I posted this on another page, but thought I would post it again on this page….
Word on the street from the town of Cora is they had a hell of a fine weekend wolf hunting–a town wolf hunt. Four wolves were shot. Sounds like maybe 1 in Black Butte and 3 in another pack near Daniel. They saw 5, but only got 3–1 radio collared wolf. It will be interesting to see where the radio collar came from.
The person from Game and Fish who gave me the information didn’t know anything else, as they have no authority in the predator area.
Weekend 1 and they killed about 15% of the wolves believed to be in the predator area. And that on a weekend when most of the rednecks were in Jackson for the Snowmobile Hill Climb. Should be a hell of a hunt next weekend.
thats great, the sooner they overkill, the sooner they get back on the list and they can do it all over again,
Bob Warff,
I will be happy if there is no slaughter but I reserve the right to be very wary of you, your organization, the states and the ranchers.
Woops, I should have read Gerry Miner’s post before I responded to you Bob. It seems the wolf slaughter is well underway.
Oh..my God..
I get so emotional..and I dont’ know what to do…
I breaks my heart to read the post that the ‘witch’hunt just started.
I think that by the 4/28/2008 there will not be a single wolf to defend…
