Endangered?

<a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2008/01/15/news/state/55-endangered.txt" title="Bullshit">Lawmakers: Wolves still endangered</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>In a recent letter to Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne, the congressmen wrote that states "hostile to wolf conservation" could reduce today's 1,500 wolves to "as few as 300" if the predators lose protected status.</blockquote><br />n<br />nI would really like to see where Rep. Nick Rahall, Rep. George Miller, Rep. Norm Dicks, Rep. Wayne Gilchrest, and Rep. Jim Saxton got these numbers from. On further consideration, I don't want to see where these numbers come from because I think they pulled them out of their asses. <br />n<br />nIt's real easy to speculate about these kinds of things when you live far away from the situation. It's a little more complicated when you live right with it. Have these sorry excuse for Congressmen paid any attention to the way the wolves are breeding them selves out of vittles in this area? Their growth has been explosive and it's still not coming down. Removing them from the endangered species list and manging them state by state only makes sense. <br />n<br />nThe local trapper the other day told me that he seen wolf tracks in my area while setting his snares. Now I'm not sure there is a wolf around or not but it does weigh on my mind some that is for sure.<br />n<br />n<strong>Any idiot can face a crisis – it's day to day living that wears you out.
