’Every normal man must be tempted, at times,
to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag,
and begin slitting throats.’ -- H.L. Mencken
1) An article was released recently that talks about
a ’Wolf lover’, Mike Medberry,
who is actually endorsing the
hunts in the Northern Rockies. And is encouraging
other ’wolf lovers’ like him to do the same.
He also to boot, is claiming that he still
hasn’t ’softened his environmental concerns’.
http://www.idahostatesman.com/localnews/story/916451.html
First of all, this ’man’ isn’t a ’wolf-lover’.
If you love something, don’t you want to see it,
alive? This man isn’t an activist. Not anymore.
He loves to see wolves dead. In this article he
thinks that a few dead bodies is justifiable in
the long term for the wolf’s survival and acceptance.
Sound familiar? This is the same garbage that David
Mech, famous ’wolf-expert’ is feeding people.
And yet now, so many organizations and people are
actually fighting against the rulings of the false
science the USFWS promoted for many years that we
talked about. And against their own beliefs that
they once supported.
No, the only thing he is, is a man who loves wolves
to die. Especially since he thinks the ESA succeeded
more than ever before. He also just so happens to think
that environmentalists who are fighting to stop the
hunt are "disingenuous".
Imagine if it were members of his family that
were sentenced to die instead, I think he would
have a hard time with that, but since Wolves aren’t
Human, this is ok. No, this is wrong. REAL wrong.
Not to mention, it would be no different than like
than us classifying Jerry Falwell as a human-rights
advocate because he claimed he was a Christian and
loved everyone, except if you just so happened to
be gay.
You cannot pass the buck is the point. You support
the Wolves and their prosperity, or you don’t. What
Medberry did was sell out the Wolves in the drive-thru.
Saying have a nice day and not caring about what happens
to them next.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
(A) First of all, if you want to contact him, here
is several ways to do it. Here is one page you can
contact him at:
http://www.hcn.org/wotr/conervationists-wrong-to-oppose-wolf-hunt?searchterm=Mike+Medberry
(Read this article and comment in support AGAINST the hunt and why)
Write to this sheep in Wolf’s clothing here.

And here:
http://www.facebook.com/mike.medberry?_fb_noscript=1
Also, the program was a failure. Anyone who actually knew
Wolf issues can tell you that. In fact, the whole thing
was a failure. The USFWS constantly broke the law to
destroy Wolves in livestock issues. Not to mention they
and Judge Molloy broke the law to get them delisted
recently. The populations in both the Gray Wolf Program
and the Mexican Gray Wolf one are perilously low as it
is. Not to mention Molloy admitted the delisting was illegal
in the Northern Rockies and it was solely political.
Wolf populations in the U.S. alone are about 15% of what
they once were, or less. Yet those uneducated about Wolves
and want them dead are calling Wolf populations, ’exploding’.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2009/sep/28/wolves-hunting-idaho-montana-endangered-species
Hunting is barbarous and doesn’t create co-existence and
education about Nature, but instead a massive bloodbath.
If we did that to people, I think many would have a problem
with that. Oh wait, we did, it was called the Holocaust.
And Human populations are the real explosion, which is going
to reach 7 billion by the year 2011! The consequences of that
are going to rear it’s head not to just Nature, but to Humans
as well.
http://news.mongabay.com/2009/0813-hance_sevenbillion.html
2) And recently, a Wolf that was the cover story of the 2nd
to last issue of the Rocky Mountain News was capped not
too long ago. And officials aren’t helping in Colorado.
It would also be nice if the tax dollars of Coloradans
also went to protecting lone Wolves who wander into CO
since no one else is doing it, even if they are SUPPOSED
to.
http://www.newwest.net/topic/article/suspicion_surrounds_colorado_wolf_death/C41/L41/
A) Contact the officials in Colorado how they need to be
enforcing and creating more protections for Wolves in
Colorado. They want to come home, and they are vital for
tourism in an ailing economy. This must happen. And we
need to know what is going on here, not just know about
a cover-up. We can create a Wolf population here. It can
happen. You can make it happen. We don’t have much time,
though.

B) "There is no fate but what we make for ourselves." -- John Connor, Terminator 2
Go contact Judge Molloy urging him to relist the Wolves now.
And have him stop this war. It must stop now. Or else things
will get worse, and soon the sixth age will truly be upon us.
For if we cannot live with Nature. What does that say about
ourselves?
Contact the USFWS, contact Obama and Biden, and Secretary of
the Interior Ken Salazar. Help end this war now!
Go to: http://www.heartofthewolf.org/StopTheHunt.html to do that.
3) Sweden like all countries need to ban sport hunting.
Seriously. Because it creates hysteria. As well as fear of
the Natural inhabitants there. This is why I know Mike Medberry
has NO IDEA, what he is talking about.
Once again, two hunting hounds were killed by Wolves. Wonder why,
intruders on their territory and they felt they had to defend it.
Hunters know this by now. So it should come to no surprise. And
thus they don’t want predators around so they can run around
in a fantasy Disney inspired wilderness and blast whatever Deer
they want. This would be just like the movie Bambi.
http://timberwolfinformation.org/info/archieve/newspapers/viewnews.cfm?ID=5971
This is the quote from the hunter..
"One has feared constantly that this would happen. And now it has."
IS THIS your idea of co-existence Mr. Medberry? Because if it is,
I can tell you, violence begets violence, creates fear and war.
It has in Human history and does when we wage war against Nature.
Period.
Please contact Sweden to call for an end to the hunt of Wolves and not
to endorse any killing of Wolves there. Not only would it be unethical
but their populations are low in addition to that. It would be a death
sentence. Even if their populations would rebound, we couldn’t support
hunting.
Contact the Swedish government in response
to this. Tell them they need a Wolf population.
They are important to the environment as well
as tourism and sport hunting isn’t a sport.
It’s an unethical and senseless practice that
must not supersede all things.

WOLF-DOG ALERTS 9/29/2009
A) This is the last day to stop a Wolf-Ban in California.
Anything resembling a Wolf-Dog or is one, will be taken
away from the homes of their responsible owners. Gestapo
anyone?
Here is some ways to help.
Sign this petition
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/ca-law-to-ban-wolfdogs-as-of-11109
Go to this website
http://www.capet.com
From WolfPAW Mountain:
While it is easy to be irate about the California proposal, keeping a clear mind and
temper will help to assure that we as owners, rescuers, fosters or friends of the wolfdog
will be taken seriously in this most current battle. This is a life and death matter for
the wolfdog – already rescues and fosters are filled to the gill. If a ban is put in place
statewide in California – all animals in that state will be at risk. And if it is approved
there, your state may be next.
Find a wolfdog community on the net and work with them to combat this legislation:

TALKING POINTS
We Are Not Wolves, We Are Not Wild Animals: According to the United States Department of
Agriculture(USDA) - “Crosses between wild animal species, such as lions and tigers, are
considered to be wild animals. Crosses between wild animal species and domestic animals,
such as dogs and wolves or buffalo and domestic cattle, are considered to be domestic animals.”

WOLF MEDIA 9/29/2009
Gamespot.com first covered about the sequel to the
smash hit game Okami, you play as the heroic wolf
Amaterasu, who just so happens was the incarnation
of the Sun goddess of Japan.
In the sequel, you play as a wolf pup with the same
powers who must protect the ancient lands of Japan
once again from evil.
Okami was a great game and the guidebook that was
released that covers the whole game and it’s many
aspects was excellent. I recommend getting it.
It’s called Okami Official Complete Works. It’s superhard
to find, so good luck!
Wolves in Japan have gotten alot of attention lately in Japan.
They have made Wolf’s Rain, Stormy Night, and making the show
Spice and Wolf, based on the great literature of the same name.
Plus the Japanese wolf has been talked about in the book,
The Last Wolves of Japan, by Brett Walker. And the
Shinsengumi (aka the Wolves of Mibu), who embodied the spirit,
savage nature, and nobleness of wolves, have been covered
over many years in Rurouni Kenshin, Peacemaker Kurogane in anime,
and great videogames for the Japanese PS2, like Fu-Un Shinsengumi
and Shinsengumi Gunrouden.
The new Okami for DS continues this, and hopefully this trend in
media will continue to honor the once Japanese worshiped wolf god,
Oguchi no Magami, or Large Mouth Pure God. And one day, maybe wolves
can re-populate in Japan once more.
Until that time, look forward to another hit in the future to the
great franchise that Okami is.
Other great games can be found here:
http://www.heartofthewolf.org/WolfGames.htm
Contrary to Obama’s speeches, games can get those interested in
the right things in life.
Thanks everyone for the support for Wolves and Wolf-Dogs.
Keep up the fight!
Oh and if you can, please visit the Rami The Wolf Memorial.
We would appreciate it. She was a legendary Wolf and her exploits
must not be forgotten.
