Rural
folk nationwide seek to tell of the truth about wolves (and other
large predators currently being "re"introduced in many
states). From Dan Ingalls, whose Wyoming ranch has seen
years of wolf depredation on livestock and ranch/pet dogs kretz.joel@leg.wa.gov --
to Jon and Deb Robinette diamondg@dteworld.com,
whose Wyoming ranch has experienced the heartbreak of their
livestock and working/pet dogs being seen as a smorgasbord for wolves
-- wolves are quickly proving why they must never be mistaken as
"large dogs." This
URL contains graphic photos of "wolf meals" and "wolf
fun," also known as "sport killing:" http://www.propertyrightsresearch.org/2004/articles11/my_official_Oregon_wolf.htm Those
good families, who choose to "live rural" and raise the
things we eat, are placed directly in harm's way by those Wildlands
Project proponents who say we must have "wildlife corridors" with
"large predators" "re"introduced to "their
historic habitats. The location of most "historic habitats"
where this is occurring is FALSE; such species NEVER lived there.
Canadian grey wolves were never "native" to the Lower 48
(continental U.S.); they are much larger than the original native
wolves of America.
The
same "animal rights pundits" care not for the ungulates --
elk, deer, moose, antelope, cattle, sheep, etc. -- but only enthuse
about returning unchecked populations of large predators to most
states.
