Wolf Killing Cowards


 

The photo pretty well says it all: A bunch of northern rednecks just in from a wolf kill and afraid to have their faces seen. Why? I would guess (hope) at least some of them are embarrassed, but somehow I doubt it. More likely they are just afraid to face others in the community who oppose the slaughter of wolves.
Who cares about wolves? You should. As mankind eliminates the top predators the effect on the structure of the ecosystem below them is dramatic. In the case of removing wolves, immediate growth in population of the large animals they cull results in overgrazing of the landscape and a cascade of other ecological changes. Reintroduction of wolves in the west is reestablishing the important balance, and the wholesale slaughter of wolves will simply reverse decades of progress in ecological restoration.

So who are these assholes? Real Men? Oh I don’t think so. Kill a wolf at 300 yards with a 30-06 then pose with the corpse in a mask? No, these are cowards. Plain and simple. For more information look up the Center for Biological Diversity website.

It is a disgrace to see the American flag associated with this image. There should be nothing American about it. Killing helpless forms of life; isn't that what the rest of the world is accusing us to be; big bullies with big guns. It is sad to see grown man act that way, but that just shows you how low most of us can be. I think we are the only species in the entire world that kill as a sport, for fun and in masses. We are the only species that also kills their own species for the wrong answer to the god question, color, accent, or even as simple as the last name.... I agree total cowards!
