Want to help De-list the Wolf???

[CouesWhitetail]

information from Pete Cimellaro:

 

To All: I am hopeful most of you already know the AZ Game & Fish Commission voted last Saturday to support delisting the Gray Wolf from protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This is all Wolves, including the Mexican Wolf here in Arizona. This action is an attempt to bring about a change in the failed programs that have paralyzed wolf management through out the West.

 

Many states, including Arizona, year after year have had continued problems with the USF&WS, Wolf Advocates, Environmental Extremists, the Media, etc. Western States are seeking a remedy to the problem of Wolf management under the ESA, which unfortunately usually turns to Wolf management by the courts.

 

While Wolf recovery has met, and in some cases, exceeded population targets; the states have had their hands tied by the Wolf Advocates and their use of the court system. This has led to the destruction of some Elk, Deer, and Moose populations and continues to be a problem for wildlife managers. Here in Arizona it has led to a paralyzing stalemate with the program in limbo, without direction and input from the states.

 

In Washington DC, Sportsmen for Wildlife and Big Game Forever have been working diligently to get the ear of the politicians. They have succeeded! S. 3919, is the result of this effort. I strongly urge you to send a message to the Environmental Community, the Animal Rights Extremists, and all of those who want to manage wildlife at the federal level and by the courts. Say no to the abuse of the system and return management of wildlife to the states where it belongs.

 

Support the Arizona Game & Fish Commission, the Wildlife Conservation Organizations and the Wildlife we all cherish.

Support S 3919!!!

 

Make Two phone calls today! Call Senator Baucus (202-224-2651) & Senator Tester (202-224-2644) and ask them to join with Senator Kyl, Senator McCain and others to pass S.3919.

 

Do it now, Timing is critical!!!!!!

 

Pete

 

PS: PLEASE PASS THIS ON!!!!!!

sounds like a great deal to me. but i kinda wonder how much action they're gonna get from that commie baucus? but then again, harry ried did save our bacon on the uso deal. who'da thunkit? do you know what is really in the bill? is is gonna just say just shoot all the wolves and forget about it or is it gonna make recovery a state problem? i completely agree with everything pete said about what the program has done to paralyze the outdoors in the areas affected by this bs. one thing that sorta worries me is that i really feel the biggest problem these so called wolves have are the morons that are trying to make it work, absolute idiots, and if they just walk away from em and leave the "wolves" on their own and just let nature take place, they might have a chance of making it. sure be interesting to see how this plays out. i don't have a clue which way it'll swing in dc. them jokers don't seem to have much of a grasp on reality. but if they slide a buncha pork into the bill, it might have a chance. folks really need to quit being so dang nice and quit turning the cheek. this whole wolf deal is like some jerk that walks up and slaps ya every once in awhile and you don't do anything about it and think, well that wasn't that bad. then a little later he starts kickin' ya and ya get used to that too and think it wasn't too bad. then he starts gut punchin' ya every once in awhile and after you get your breath back you sorta think well, after it quit hurtin' it wasn't too bad, when if you woulda broke the sob's jaw the first time slapped ya it woulda all been over. we need to start breakin' jaws. figuratively and literally if it comes to that. i think it's time.

It felt ... empowering!

more calls are needed! here is the latest release from AZSFWC

 

Please thank Senator McCain for signing on as a co-sponsor of S 3919, Senator Hatch's Wolf Delisting Bill. If passed, the bill will remove the gray wolf from the endangered species list and states will be allowed to manage the wolf going forward. It is important that we show our appreciation when a Senator responds to our requests and Senator McCain has done just that.

 

PLEASE KEEP THE TELEPHONES RINGING IN DC. REPORTS INDICATE THAT WHILE CALLS ARE BEING MADE, WE STILL NEED MORE.

 

Hopefully most of you know by now that the Arizona Game and Fish Commission voted last Saturday to support S 3919 at the recommendation of Terry Johnson, the person who has given several years of his career and is responsible for the wolf recovery program in Arizona.

 

The Obama Administration now has a commitment for its own amendment to get attached to the Omnibus Spending Bill in the Senate. This amendment is bad. It increases the wolf recovery numbers in the Rockies (original number was 100 in each state of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho- they now are saying 500-700 minimum number in Idaho), gives the Interior Department complete authority over wolves with no state participation or input and contains provisions for re-listing if certain conditions are not met.

 

In addition to continuing to advocate for S 3919, we also need to stringently oppose the Obama Administration amendment to the Senate Omnibus Spending bill. Please make phone calls today to the Senators listed below. If you are outside the state of Montana or Arizona, please call the Senators from your state.

 

Call or email Senator Max Baucus and Senator Jon Tester of Montana today. Call Senator Jon Kyl and ask him to sign on to S 3919 and do everything he can to assist us in this effort. Call Senator McCain and thank him for co-sponsoring the bill and for helping to move this bill forward.
