STAND FOR SOMETHING...
Posted by jennifer on March 21, 2009 in Dog & Wolf News / Issues.
It is with great disappointment that I remind everyone that on March 6th, 2009, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced he will follow former President Bush's plan to de-list wolves from the Endangered Species Act in Idaho and Montana. This is an enormous hit to our brother and sister wolves. Honestly, I haven't really known what to say- the weight of the situation seemed too large to just post on a blog. In my heart, I know that these animals are not fully re-covered. As I type, I know there are people out there who have probably already shot bullets into my friends heads in the wild. It is my hope to bring education to people that these animals are a great neighbor to have, nothing to fear and a fantastic and necessary predator. They help restore balance to our hurting ecosystem and their lives resemble that of our human families. If you meet a wolf, it will change your life forever. So smart, so quiet, so spiritual and intelligent. Their howls are the songs of nature. Since everyone seems to be going green, there is nothing greener than restoring the balance in Mother Nature. Green is the grass that grows green but the land and it's creatures are what really needs help right now. Restoring our ecosystems is restoring balance to what has been a vast human destruction.
In this tough economic time, I'm asking those that can to write letters to Secretary Salazar. If you can give money, Defenders of Wildlife is working very hard on this issue. You can visit them here: http://www.defenders.org/programs_and_policy/wildlife_conservation/imperiled_species/wolves/ I hope you too will be inspired for change and give a voice to the most majestic animal one could ever meet. Please help out your dog's ancestors- they really need it right now...
Thank you!
All my best,
Jennifer
