The Independen-Record has a story today announcing the wolf hunt near Yellowstone is being called to a halt. Even though the quota hasn't been met they are taking this action. Why? To protect the wolves? No, it’s to protect ranchers. From the article:
Even though the quota of 12 wolves in hunting district 316 hasn't been met, nine have been harvested so far, and state officials fear the quota would have been filled by the time the general hunting season starts on Oct. 25 had the hunt continued. That would mean hunters would only take wolves from the backcountry, instead of near ranches where they might have been preying on livestock. "… We don't want to kill the wilderness wolves and the wolves that don't need some education, (we want to go after) those on the ranch land," Fish, Wildlife and Parks Commissioner Ron Moody said on Thursday.
Montana has a Democrat Governor and a Democrat Game Commission.
New Mexico has a Democrat Governor and a Democrat Game Commission.
But my lord what a difference in their attitudes towards ranchers and wolves.
One of you fine folks in Montana ship me some of your water, and I'll see if I can get someone to slip it in Bill Richardson's drink.
Better send a gallon.
