."Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land"........ "By land is meant all of the things on, over or in the earth"............ "Harmony with the land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish the right hand and chop off his left".... The coyote killing "contest" being hosted this weekend by Gunhawk Firearms in Los Lunas is a disgrace to the state of New Mexico and to the ethics of hunting. With farms in New Mexico and northern California, we are no strangers to firearms or coyotes. But the days of mass killings of any wildlife should be long gone. Sadly, our country has a long history of assault on all manner of species, whether for "fun" or "profit" as exemplified by the upcoming contest. Ironically, for hunters, it is precisely this kind of ecologically disastrous behavior that understandably turns the public against hunting in general.
False justifications and a misplaced sense of entitlement to kill on the part of the participants will lead to self-defeating consequences, just as attempting to kill off predators on a mass scale and upsetting nature's long-established balance time and again gives rise to seriously negative consequences.

Killing seven members of a wolf pack that repeatedly attacked a Northeast Washington rancher’s cattle cost about $76,500, according to preliminary state figures.
The amount includes all hunts targeting the Wedge Pack, which is believed responsible for killing or injuring 16 calves last summer belonging to the Diamond M Ranch in Stevens County. During a four-day period in September, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife spent $22,000 to kill six wolves in the pack using a helicopter and a marksman.

Minnesota Hunters Kill 119 Wolves In 10 Days. “Gloria Skinaway of the Sandy Lake Reservation holds a sign at a protest against the Minnesota wolf hunt at Lake Superior Plaza in downtown Duluth, Minn., Friday afternoon, Sept. 7, 2012.
(AP Photo/The Duluth News-Tribune, Clint Austin)” November 12, 2012 379 wolves have died in the combined hunts since August 30, 2012. Minnesota has been particularly brutal, killing 119 wolves in just 10 days. This doesn’t surprise me, the state has been moving away from their reasonable position on wolves for some time now. Minnesota’s US Democrat Senators, Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken, are not wolf fans.
When Minnesota Wildlife Services funding, to trap and kill wolves, was cut in 2011, Senator Al Franken didn’t waste any time writing to USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack imploring him to restore monies to the wolf kill program. Minnesota Wildlife Services kills approx. 200 wolves each and every year for agribusiness It’s been going on for decades, while wolves were still protected under the ESA. By Mike Mullen. Back to Yellowstone. I’ve been moving. Six years in this house and an accumulation of items that makes it seem more like 100 years.
I’ve been buried and that is my excuse for taking so long to write more about my glorious trip to Yellowstone. Two weeks ago today I was in the park, driving around by myself as my Wolves of the Rockies friends had just left. I took a spin up the Lamar road, drove a bit down the road toward Norris, where Rhonda and KC and I had been the day before. That was fun. We’d decided we needed to check out a little geyser action and Old Faithful was too far. So we went to the Norris Geyser Basin and took a look around.

Like this: As Wolves’ Numbers Rise, So Does Friction Between Guardians and Hunters. Nancy Jo Dowler, the president of the Timber Wolf Preservation Society, with Comet. By STEVEN YACCINO Published: November 1, 2012 “GREENDALE, Wis. — When people like Nancy Jo Dowler started raising wolves here decades ago, the animals were rare in Wisconsin and nearly extinct across the country. Now the president of the Timber Wolf Preservation Society, Ms. Dowler, 66, cares for five full-grown purebreds. Hers seems a fairy tale world compared with the legal dogfights occurring beyond these kennels. The legalization of wolf hunting in both states was devised to manage a rebounding wolf population after the federal government stopped listing the species as endangered in the region last year. “We’ve spent a lot as a nation to protect them,” said Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane Society of the United States, which in October announced a lawsuit against the federal Fish and Wildlife Service to restore protections for wolves.
Animal rights groups have little sympathy for the hunters. Article Asks Good Questions About Wolf Kill Among Racist Undertones. I often wonder if many authors of articles here in Wisconsin have any concept of the racism that is hidden in their words when discussing Native American issues. Today, I came across an article that raises really good questions about the recent Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article about the 14 year old female wolf trapper who they glorified in a fluffy article last week.
The article makes a perfectly good argument agains the wolf slaughter and those perpetrating it. Of course that is if you ignore this line: “The decision to hunt the wolves is just the latest example of the white man running roughshod over the religion and belief of Native Americans. The Ojibwa consider the wolf a brother and a sacred member of their tribe. And just so you don’t think I’m some crazed Indian lover, I think it’s okay to use Warriors or Chiefs as school nicknames.”
Does the author of this article even realize how racist the line “And just so you don’t think I’m some crazed Indian lover” sounds? Like this: Wolf shooting has begun in MN; we will continue to protest. Greetings from Howling For Wolves: The headline in Sunday's Star Tribune that "Wolves Prove Elusive on Hunts First Day" shows the propaganda machine in full force. Already almost 60 wolves have been shot and killed in the first few days of the wolf hunt as reported by the DNR published kill count.
Hardly the low rates predicted. We are saddened and outraged by the commencement of the wolf hunting and trapping season, but we will not be deterred in our actions to oppose it. We are demanding a meeting with Governor Dayton to voice our opposition and deliver our list of letter signers asking him to stop this wolf hunt. As we continue to push for a meeting, we are urging everyone to make the effort to collect more support for our letter. The public needs to know the Governor is allowing the wolves recently removed from Federal endangered species protections to be killed purely for recreation.
Keep howling, Bears take biggest bite of young moose population - The Seward Phoenix Log. ADF&G Photo Fish and Game researchers radio-collar an adult cow moose in order to track her and her calves. In the blue jacket is John Crouse, director of the Moose Research Center. Thomas Donough is wearing an orange vest. “It used to be that on a trip to Anchorage you would see 40 moose along the side of the road and hunters would pack their freezer with moose meat,” said Jim McCracken, chairman of the Seward Fish and Game Advisory Committee, a local citizen’s group that advises the Alaska Board of Game and Alaska Board of Fish on published proposals. Nowadays longtime area hunters like him are scratching their heads and wondering, “Where are the moose?
Why are we seeing such a decline, and how do we get the curve moving the other way to where the moose start to recover?” Said McCracken. The researchers’ preliminary field study results show that 45 of the 54 newborn calves being studied subsequently died, most at the hands of grizzlies. Urgent Great Lakes Update. Ethiopia’s last wolves threatened by lack of genetic diversity as populations become isolated. 30/10/2012 14:16:47Genetic structure and patterns of gene flow among populations of the endangered Ethiopian wolfOctober 2102.
Populations of endangered mammals are often small, fragmented and have low genetic variability that can reduce the ability to evolve in response to environmental changes. 6 small & isolated populationsThe endangered Ethiopian wolf (Canis simensis) is a habitat specialist restricted to six small, isolated pockets of Afroalpine habitat, with a total population of fewer than 500 adult animals. The degradation of the Ethiopian highlands because of human expansion is ever increasing, potentially leading to further population fragmentation and local extinctions. Further analysis showed that current gene flow is low, unidirectional and limited to geographically proximate populations. Habitat protection is vitalThe protection of the remaining suitable habitat, especially narrow ridges linking habitat patches within mountain blocks, is therefore essential.

Vote NO For The 81 US Senators Who Betrayed Wolves. 81 Senators, the majority Democrats, sacrificed Northern Rockies gray wolves on April 14, 2011, when they voted to pass a budget bill hiding a wolf delisting rider.
I guess they didn’t think we’d notice. President Obama signed the bill into law. They betrayed wolves, gutted the Endangered Species Act and for what? To protect their majority in the Senate by supporting fellow Democrat Senator Tester’s wolf rider he slipped into the bill, with the approval of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid D-NV. Only three Democrats voted no: Patrick Leahy D-VT, Ron Wyden D-OR, Carl Levin D-MI. One Independent also voted against the bill, Bernie Sanders of VT. Wolves are now being decimated in Montana and Idaho due to this delisting. Please hold these Senators accountable on election day and vote them out of office.

Message To Illegal Hounders and Those Who Wish To Torture Wolves: You Are Being Watched. Contrary to the squeaky clean image that hounders and other unethical “sportsmen” try to portray, we all know what is really going on. The ghastly, lurid photos being posted all over the internet showing wolf killers psychotically leering over a dead wolf show what the real motives of these people are. Anyone else find it a little fishy that so many wolves have been killed in such a short time?
Of course the anti-wolf zealots will say that it is because there are so many of them, but we know better. I would be curious to know how many were wearing collars and how long these sadists scoped them out before killing them. The hounders even admitted letting their dogs harass wolves before the Natural Resources Board this summer. No one even batted an eye from the DNR. I always explain to them that I am always watching them, and that sooner, or later, they are going to end up on youtube, their pictures, their vehicles, license plates, address ect….
