Another Wolf Comment Moved to Front Page

This comment to an earlier post moved to front page. PLEASE do not forget to get your input to Mr. Slown of FWS. Direct link above.

I knew an old indian once, my grandfather, who on occassion would share with me his knowledge of the wild and of the animals in it.

One lesson he taught me was that if you see a wolf, kill it. Not because he was a gun tottin' redskin, but because he said; "The wolve is the only predator in the world that didn't kill just to eat and survive, but also killed because they enjoyed killing". A fact that can be substanciated by many a rancher who has come across several cattle that were killed by wolves but not eaten.

Environmentalist would have you believe that this animal is largely mis-understood and is in point of fact a cuddly critter, much like a dog who just needs to be loved and cared for and allowed to run free. Well guess what. I've seen packs of wild dogs that are just a vicious as a pack of wolves, so that argument doesn't hold much water. But of course the enviromentalist say it with such sencerity that you just have to believe them. And if you don't they'll sue the crap out of you until you do.

Common sense has absolutely nothing to do with environmentalism. At least not from the perspective of saving a species. It is my considered opinion that it has more to do with real estate than anything else. It doesn't have to involve the wolf. It could be the ring tailed wombat, or the blue nose checker spotted, winged field mouse. I say this because past history has shown, that if there isn't an endangered species available in the area that the environmentalist want to take control of, they will create one. And they have been caught at it on several different occassions.

A good example of this is the Spotted Owl. You know I discovered an interesting fact a while back. Cloudcroft, New Mexico is the only place in these United States that I know of, where you can get "Spotted Owl Helper". It's similar to Hamburger Helper. Just add Spotted Owl for a tasty treat. It also goes well with a little red wine, and ranch style beans on the side.

I mean, here is a bird that is so anti-social to its own kind that its no wonder its dying out. Logging has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Once the environmentalist managed to stop the logging they decided that it was time for Cloudcroft to go and they next created the Checker Spotted Butterfly. If they had gotten what they wanted on that one, no one would have been able to drive to or through Cloudcroft essentially killing the village all together. And now they are trying once again with the "Mexican" Grey Wolf. Sorry! no such critter! And if there were I believe that the INS sould be involved simply because the only "Mexican Grey Wolf" that I know of is an old retired drug runner out of Nogales.

Joking aside, the reason the grey wolf was on the endangered species list was because they were hunted down for the killers they are. And if they are re-introduced into Otero County again, it will happen again... Hmmm... I have a spot in my livingroom that could use a good fur rug....
