Great Lakes Wolf Appeal Last week the the D.C. Court of Appeals upheld the December 2014 ruling by federal Judge Beryl Howell affirming that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service illegally and improperly designated the Great Lakes gray wolf population as a “distinct population segment” in order to push through a delisting. The appeals court…

Wildlife Advocates Must Brace Themselves for the Inevitable Wolf Delisting But We Must NEVER Stop Fighting
**UPDATE 12/16/2015** I have NEVER been happier to say that I was wrong. Much to my shock and the shock of wildlife advocates everywhere the desliting rider was not included in the spending bill. The threats remain but for now we can breathe a sigh of relief. As Congress is about to sell out our…
President Obama’s Legacy: The End of the Endangered Species Act?
There is no other way to put this so I will be blunt. For all of our hand wringing about Congress likely stripping protections from gray wolves and actively working to undermine the Endangered Species Act itself one thing has been made abundantly clear: the Obama Administration has already destroyed the Act right under our…
Anti-Wolf Zealots and Fake “Democrats” in Congress Planning to Sell Out Wolves and the Endangered Species Act This Week
Here we go a again. Where have we seen this before? The courts rightfully step in and restore protections for the gray wolf and the NRA/big ag zealots in Congress step in and remove those protections and take away your recourse to challenge it in court. Just like the infamous 2011 anti-wolf “budget rider” that…
Death by a Thousand Hounds (And Traps): The Endangered Species List is Not a “Farm Team” for Hostile States
It’s been almost one year since the end of Wisconsin’s last “legal” wolf slaughter and the subsequent federal court ruling that placed the species back on the Endangered Species Act protected list. During that last year the states, anti-wolf politicians, the killing cartels, certain media outlets, big ag lobbies, and even misguided wolf “experts” have…
Pope Francis and President Obama: Which is the Real “Progressive” When it Comes to the Environment?
When I was growing up my parents tried to get me indoctrinated into Catholicism. When it didn’t take they came to the realization that it was a lost cause and gave up around the time I was 12. I was born a freethinker and I wouldn’t change that element of my genetics for anything. To…
The Boys and Girls Who “Cry Wolf” and the Morons That Believe Them
Fear mongering has become a staple of rural mindsets and right wing politics in general. One week ISIS is going to march down your streets and impose Sharia Law on all the good “god fearin’” Christians in Murcia. The next week immigrants with cantaloupe sized calves are going to stream across the border, take our…
Kline Bill Seeks to Open the Door for States to Completely Eradicate Wolves in the Great Lakes
We make no illusions to the fact that the gray wolf is under a never ending attack from anti-wolf lobbying groups and members of Congress that are “owned” by these groups. A bill introduced last week by Tea Party extremists and anti-wolf fake “Democrats” seeks to completely remove all Endangered Species Act protections from Great…
Shall Not be Subject to Judicial Review: How Anti-Wolf Hatred is Destroying YOUR Civil Rights
Following the shameless Democratic Party sellout to big agriculture, extremist gun groups, and trophy hunting cartels with the 2011 wolf delisting “rider” an even more disturbing element was contained within that legislation. The “rider” was attached to a “must pass” spending bill and it stripped Endangered Species Act protections from gray wolves living in the…
As Expected Anti-Wolf Members of Congress and Fake “Democrats” Plan to Sellout Wolves Again
Less than a month after a federal court ruling reinstated Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves in the Great Lakes, the fear mongering from big ag factions and anti-wolf extremists has reached a fever pitch. Now the anti-wolf/environment factions in Congress are jumping into the fold hoping to strip protections from these wolves…
