Default This is an OUTRAGE!

You won't believe this:
The Bush Administration has authorized the massacre of Gray Wolves in Idaho and Wyoming! The Open Fire command could be issued any day now!
But here's the thing: Gray Wolves are an ENDANGERED species and are protected by the Endangered Species Act! Bush is breaking a MAJOR LAW!!!
There are 700 left in Wyoming. They'll kill 85% of those 700. You know what that is? BAD!
Even wolf pups could be killed.
Natural Resources Defense Council is rushing to court to try and stop this senselessness. Any donations would be appreciated. (I'll be back with the exact address as soon as I can!)


P.S. Of all the idiotic things Bush has done, this is probably the dumbest yet.

That's horrible!!! The whole purpose of a species being endangered is to protect their dwindling numbers & preventing their extinction, not helping it along!! This upsets me!!

Give me a link. Why is this such a secret?
Surely some group is working on it?

Northern Rockies' gray wolves coming off endangered list
BILLINGS, Montana (AP) -- Gray wolves in the Northern Rockies are being removed from the endangered
species list. The move follows a 13-year restoration effort that led the animal's population to soar.
An estimated 1,500 wolves now roam Idaho, Montana and Wyoming.
The removal from the endangered list was announced Thursday.
States can now move forward with public hunts as soon as this fall.
Environmental groups say they will sue to keep the animal listed.

Rockies' Gray Wolves Come Off Endangered List
The 41 wolves reintroduced to the region from 1995 through 1997 have since spread across a wide area and proliferated. Now, about 1,500 wolves roam Idaho, Montana and Wyoming.

Nope. No one has actually done anything terrible or even proposed
anything yet. The news media is just saying that it's open.



And nope, no mention of Bush. I'm not a fan, but come on.


This is why we want those links.

'For the animal shall not be measured by man.In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not bretheren; they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the Earth'

A: The world couldn't be more disgusted with Bush than it already is, and
B: He didn't do anything this time. And

I got a letter from NRDC. Bush is keeping it hushed up. Surely you've heard of his stupid "Patriot Act."
But he can't stop ME. Or NRDC. (Natural Resources Defense Council) They've gone to court.
And the gray wolves weren't SUPPOSED to be removed from the list. Bush did THAT, so he could do THIS!

Natural Resources Defense Council
NRDC: Press Release - Bush Administration Announces Plan to Strip Wolves of Endangered Species Protection

"Wolves in the Northern Rockies will lose protection...

"NRDC said it will immediately notify the government of its intent to file a lawsuit challenging the delisting decision. It said that it is premature to revoke endangered species protections because the wolves have not fully recovered...

"Idaho, Montana and Wyoming would take over managing the wolves from the federal government. All three states have stated their intent to allow hunting, trapping and other killing of wolves..."

This article doesn't specifically say what "stated their intent" means, but it doesn't sound good.
