Reblogged from Howling For Justice:
I can hardly believe the numbers. 605 wolves have been slaughtered in the combined hunts since August 30, 2012. In 102 days or a little over three months, hundreds of wolves have been wiped out. Images of their mangled, bloodied bodies litter FB and hunting forums. The smiling, grinning wolf killers are gloating in their blood bath. AND this is only December.
Whilst a lot of my attention has been on Taiji Cove and the dolphin/small whale drive I am aghast to learn of the number of wolves that have been hunted and killed since the end of August. We are just relentlessly plundering nature. It cannot go on. We are creating our own payback by disturbing the balance of nature. I note that "Wolves are being gut shot, tortured, trapped, strangled in choking snares, arrowed and god only knows what they’re doing to them in Wyoming’s predator zone, any method of killing is allowed, including poison. Wisconsin wants to hunt wolves with dogs. A temporary injunction stopped it for now BUT the issue is being revisited on December 20, 2012." Let us hope that the decision is pro wolf.
