Hey everybody!
This is a press release we recently put out that we are trying to make known to the world. This is a very serious and sensitive topic that everyone should educate themselves on. Enjoy!
With the judicial decision to allow the controlled hunting of Grey Wolves, hunters and townspeople take action. And they have more than pitchforks and torches.
10/5/2009 – Eugene, Oregon One particular quarrel has been increasingly getting louder in the judicial world, emitting from the continental northwest of the United States. The dispute seems classic on the surface, as the parties pitted against one another are animal rights activists and hunters, but given a deeper look, there seems to be some circular arguments in which all find common ground.
The matter at hand is the delisting of the Grey Wolf, a previously endangered species protected by the EPA. In conjunction with this delisting, some states, such as Idaho, have been given the green light to hunt these animals as trophy game. These hunts are being federally regulated and are given a minority percentage of the entire population. The hunters, who are pleased with the overall decision of the allowance of hunting, claimed that the wolves were attacking livestock as well as hindering the advancement of other wild animals, whereas the animal rights activists are concerned that the hunt will cause irreparable damage to the Grey Wolf population.
To comment on the matter, endangered species advocate Fred Smilek, of the Society to Save Endangered Species, shares his concern:
“I must admit that when I first heard the news to allow the hunt, I was angry and shocked that this animal could be delisted,” commented Smilek. “However, I find myself siding with both activists as I see how the growth of this population can be a burden and a hindrance to other animals, potentially causing their endangerment.”
Fred Smilek, President and founder of the Society to Save Endangered Species, has been protecting endangered animals for years. With nearly 20 members, the society has raised awareness and substantial funds for the advancement and protection of endangered species throughout the world. Currently, Fred and his society are keeping a close eye on the wolf hunt with “a level of hope and assurance that those regulating will handle this with the utmost care and caution.”

ReplyDeletethat meens no one is aware of how important the grey wolf is

ReplyDeleteno matter what kind
ReplyDeleteanimals in general are not looked up as they should be
ReplyDeletethats why when I hear about this it bothers me SO MUCH
ReplyDeletei love animals
ReplyDeleteit bothers mne so much but what can we do about it
ReplyDeleteI cant believe people can be so ignorant
ReplyDeletedo you have any pets
ReplyDeletei hate hunter in the first place
ReplyDeleteingnorance is an under statment
ReplyDeletebut even more when they dont care about an endangered animals
ReplyDeletehunters are the weekest in the food chain
ReplyDeletethese grey wolves just got out of the endandered species list
ReplyDeletethey sit and wait for the animal to come to them and they shoot when they are at a stand still
ReplyDeleteand now these hunters are pushing them back down
ReplyDeletethere is no skill in that at all
ReplyDeletethis gets me so HEATED
ReplyDeletei hate hunting
ReplyDeleteI wish there was a way to put these hunters in the wolves place
ReplyDeletewhat are we going to do about it
ReplyDeletehave people like us going out and hunting them down
ReplyDeletemaybe fred will be able to help us
ReplyDeletesee if they like it
ReplyDeleteif he joined our team in the fight against hunting we could take over the world
ReplyDeleteI would start a secret society that goes out and hunts down hunters while they are hunting
ReplyDeletewe need to get in contact with him
ReplyDeletehell yes
ReplyDeletewe should start it now
ReplyDeletemaybe get Fred invloved
ReplyDeletewe could sit in the bush's and wait for them to pass then we fire on a hunter
ReplyDeleteI bet after a while hunter would think twice about hunting
ReplyDeletegive a human call and shoot those SOB's
ReplyDeletewhen they see that a lot of hunts have been shot they would stop
ReplyDeleteshoot them in the leg so they feel the pain of the wolf
ReplyDeleteshot them in the leg or something (not too serious)
ReplyDeleteexactly word of mouth will get around and the will stop shooting animals
ReplyDeletethat would be funny
ReplyDeleteno but seriously, something needs to happen
ReplyDeletei was a great shot as a kid im sure i could hit the bulls eye
ReplyDeletesomthin does need to happen
ReplyDeletewe could never do this, but laws have to be passed to ban hunting for game
ReplyDeleteand only we can make the change
ReplyDeleteit is ridiculous that law makers allow this
ReplyDeletewe should take it to federal court
ReplyDeletewe would never win because all those a holes in power hunt
ReplyDeleteI love people like Fred that try their best to do something about this
ReplyDeletei mean look at dick chaney he shot his own friend while hunting
ReplyDeleteif more people would stand up like Fred and us, things would change
ReplyDeletethat is a stronger secret society we need to go big or go home
ReplyDeletechnge for the animals
ReplyDeletelots of people what to do something but its easier to do nothing
ReplyDeleteits sad
ReplyDeletewe should start our own blog looking for pple to join our team
ReplyDeletethis topic is sad
ReplyDeletetaking the easy way out instead of working at making a change
ReplyDeletemaybe instead of killing the hunters we shoot them will a dart that will knock them out and then we tie them up and torcher them
ReplyDeleteimagine if millions of people had something to say about animal rights
ReplyDeletepeople would take it more seriously
ReplyDeletei am sure there are a million pple
ReplyDeletebut they just stay home and do nothing about it
ReplyDeletebut since so little people are speaking out, others also stay quiet
ReplyDeletewe need to make a change
ReplyDeleteI want to be a part of Freds endangered species society
ReplyDeletewe need to get the quiet ones out of hiding
ReplyDeletei think if we can get enough people to join and stand up, we can make a difference
ReplyDeleteif we can get a person in power to jump on our team we could realy maake a change
ReplyDeletestrength in numbers
ReplyDeletelook at the NRA
ReplyDeleteas a team we can take down the hunters
ReplyDeletewe need to go public with this
ReplyDeletethey have such a strong influence on laws because of the amount of people in their association
ReplyDeleteby getting some kind of news feed
ReplyDeletethe same could happen with animal rights
ReplyDeleteanimal rights need to be put in place
ReplyDeletewe should try to join all the animal right groups into ONE big one
ReplyDeletethere has to be thousands of groups out there
ReplyDeleteif they all came to gether as on force we would be un stopable
ReplyDeletethis could get big
ReplyDeleteif we can merge all of them into one , then we could have enough power and influence to get what we want done
ReplyDeletewe would need to contact all the heads of each organization
ReplyDeletethis is something Fred should really think about
ReplyDeleteif we can have a meeting with all the heads and tell them the plan animals will live and rule the world
ReplyDeletewe need to get on this
ReplyDeletehe should have enough connections to get this started
