PETITIONS & ACTION ALERTS

The most important thing is to remember that the USFWS is the primary enemy of the Wolves at this point. Having them hunted will not only support more violence and hate, but reverse the Wolf presence in Wyoming.

Contact Ed Bangs who is in charge of Wolf 'recovery' in this area.

Stop ESA rollback!

"The assumption that animals are without rights and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality." -- Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher.

Stop ESA rollback!

Congressman Richard Pambo has decided to introduce a bill to make rollbacks of protection on Endangered Species possible. He wants more rigorous standards which would mean less species protected. He also wants clear absolute distinctions between threatened and endangered species. And reducing certain parts of it to be more 'effective'.

A huge report on what he plans to do (87 pages!), is available here: http://resourcescommittee.house.gov/issues/more/esa/ESA_Implementation_Report5.17.05.pdf

This threatens all current Endangered and Threatened Species on the Act. Sudden changes now will make it prey to sinister forces that threaten the survival of Wolves and many other species.

To stop this, please contact your local House of Representatives and tell them to oppose this: For those who don't know who their House people are, go to this website. http://www.house.gov/

Lastly, send your comments of opposition to Richard Pambo here: http://www.house.gov/pombo/contact/commentsform.htm Take action now!

Carter Niemeyer Murders Copper Basin Pack!

Carter Niemeyer Murders Copper Basin Pack!

Carter Niemeyer, the 'Wolf Recovery' coordinator for Idaho, has murdered another Wolf pack. Not only that but another one was murdered by him previously. He continuously ignores non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching. Like much of the USFWS he prefers bullets than peaceful co-existence.

As a result, you need to contact him and voice your outrage against this atrocity. And to promote methods that work and promote peace and education, rather than murder.

Carter Niemeyer's email is: carter_niemeyer@fws.gov

Please include links from this url in your letter as proof that murder and oppression of Wolves is not only unethical but shouldn't be used thanks to methods that actually works.

Wolf pack killed in central Idaho

03:20 PM MDT on Thursday, July 21, 2005

KTVB.COM

A wolf pack that has been preying on livestock in central Idaho has been killed by government agents. Officials confirmed that six wolves of the Copper Basin pack were killed Wednesday after repeated depredations on cattle. “We are hopeful that this control action will deter any future livestock depredations in this area,” said Carter Niemeyer, wolf recovery coordinator. “If the depredations continue, the rest of the pack will be removed.” Idaho Department of Fish and Game personnel were present observing the control action. The wolves killed two calves this past week on grazing allotments in the Challis National Forest between Mackay and Sun Valley. Last year the pack was responsible for killing four cattle, and livestock producers reported a large number of missing cattle in this area. So far in 2005, the government agency has ordered the lethal control of two wolves preying on livestock in Idaho. There are about 450 wolves living in the state.

Stop hunting of Wolves in Canada!

Earthroots has taken a step that fits hypocrisy. They abhor hunting in the past and the decimation that it did to Wolves. Now in a recent plan created by the Ministry in Canada, they support limited hunting.

In the guise of representing Wolves, they say that limited hunts are the best thing for them.

So, hunting is bad in Alaska, but not in Canada, or anywhere else? The obvious implications are that to preserve peace, more organizations like Earthroots don't mind animals being hunted for sadistic fun and skinned and placed on walls.

How would they like it if they were hunted and skinned? Probably not at all. But since they are human, this doesn't mean anything.

How many more groups will stop doing the right thing and endorse violence and oppression in the guise of peace?

Earthroots wants people to support the limited hunts and other items listed below. To show that you still know what is right for Wolves, please do not support hunting of Wolves in Canada.

Contact Melissa Tkachyk of Earthroots at info@wolvesontario.org and or (416) 599-0152 x12 (office), (416) 819-7424 (cell) to tell her to stop supporting hunting in the guise of conservation.

Mexican Wolf Dies to Irresponsible USFWS!

Mexican Wolf Dies to Irresponsible USFWS!
Hi everyone,

About 5 days ago, it was reported by the Center of Biological Diversity that
one of the most famous Mexican Gray Wolves, a member of the Fransisco Pack
(http://www.heartofthewolf.org/Fransisco.html and
http://www.heartofthewolf.org/Fransisco2.html) recently died. She died because
of stress and exhaustion in captivity.

This is the firect result of her mate being killed and her being relocated. It
is also due to the fact that non-lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching,
listed here: http://www.heartofthewolf.org/source.html are continually ignored.

The USFWS constantly deals in murder and suffering rather than protecting the
creatures they claim to.

Contact John Morgart, USFWS Mexican Gray Wolf 'Recovery' Coordinator at:
John_Morgart@fws.gov

And voice your outrage at this atrocity and tell him to start using non lethal
methods and Predator Friendly Ranching so no lives have to suffer and so
co-existence can once more be possible.

Carter Niemeyer Wants to Murder Two Chesimia Pack Members!

Carter Niemeyer Wants to Murder Two Chesimia Pack Members!

Once again the USFWS ignore non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching.

Instead of using peaceful methods to prevent conflict, they allowed things once again to become a big problem.

As a result, the USFWS in Idaho under the command of mass murderer Carter Niemeyer have decided to murder two members of the Chesimia Wolf Pack.

The continued denial of non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching is going to continue to deal more murder and violence.

Please contact Niemeyer to first voice your outrage at this. Second, tell him that these methods prove that murder is not a solution and continuing to ignore them makes him an obvious part of the problem.

The methods are here:

USFWS in Sublette not using Non Lethal Methods and Predator Friendly Ranching!

USFWS in Sublette not using Non Lethal Methods and Predator Friendly Ranching!

Mike Jimenez (a big time Wolf Murderer) is not using non lethal methods, nor Predator Friendly Ranching.

As a result, the same exact situation that occurred last year. This resulted in the murder of the Daniel Pack by the USFWS and Mike Jimenez.

He needs to wake up to the fact that his continued ignoring of non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching is creating more violence and hatred. That which he is responsible for in the murder of Wolves, including the Daniel Pack.

His email is:

mike_jimenez@fws.gov

Please take action now! Tell him to start using non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching that actually work!

Defenders and Niemeyer support murder of Wolves!

Defenders of Wildlife supports Carter Niemeyer and the current murdering of Wolves in the guise of peace.

Victims of their Own Success:

This is not the first time that Defenders of Wildlife has done this.

http://www.heartofthewolf.org/hypocrisy.html

http://www.heartofthewolf.org/paradox.html

As usual, Defenders of Wildlife doesn't promote non lethal methods and PF that works, much like the USFWS. They promote murder and oppression, confirmed with this article.

Please contact Suzanne Stone and tell her to stop this unethical support of oppression. Murder isn't conservation.

sstone@defenders.org

Next, contact Carter Niemeyer. Success isn't the oppression of Wolves when it shouldn't be happening in the first place. His constant denial of non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching isn't success, nor is the current situation of Wolves. Please show Suzanne Stone and Niemeyer that this isn't tolerated nor should it be.

Email Jimenez to stop murdering Wolves!

Hi folks,

A petition that I organized to get Mike Jimenez, Wyoming Wolf 'Recovery'
Coordinator, USFWS was recently sent to him.

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/998085062

He sent this bizzare reply which reveals his continous intent. Denial and
feining ignorance, the clear signs of someone with an obvious problem:

> Mike, Your reasoning is still pretty vague. It's difficult to talk about real
> issues when you only quote other people. If your friends that signed on to
> your website would like to talk with me or write to me, please invite them to
> do so and I will do my best to answer them. If they want to take the time to
> call, I will be more than happy to respond to them individually and not give
> them some mass mailing or signing on to someone else's words. Mike
> JimenezUSFWS(307) 330-5631 or/ (307) 330-5620

As a result, signing a petition isn't enough on this (which I did reply and let
him know that we wouldn't let up on him).

Drop him a line mike_jimenez@fws.gov

about why he should stop murdering Wolves and that non lethal methods and
Predator Friendly Ranching do work. Thus humans co-existing with Wolves without
violence is possible. This point too must be driven home:

Here of course is the proof. Use these links:

'Ervin's Natural Beef is a consortium of ranchers that produces grassfed beef.
Their emphasis is on humane treatment of livestock and peaceful co-existence
with predators. The animals are free of pesticides, antibiotics, and synthetic
hormones. The ranchers are currently applying for organic certification.'
