Description
I pushed myself to make this stamp from one of the images I had taken of a wolf at the reserve here in New Jersey. I had to edit out the gate which it was behind of and some tall grass. (see original pic)--->[link] I was not going to animate this, but it looked much better this way. If you are a supporter to save the wolves, please show that you care. We must show that these beautiful and defenseless (against humans with guns) creatures have a right to live no matter the numbers. This is made for any wolves in general!2/22/08-"URGENT!" Please tell your classmates, co-workers or friends about this. President Bush and his administration had delisted the Wolves from the endangered list. The 70% of wolves that live in the Yellowstone and Northern Rockies will face a senseless slaughter bringing them down from 1,500 to 100. Tell Bush and the administration that wolf population for the whole U.S. is not out of the endangered list and that the hunting of wolves is not a solid and moral reason to hunt them.----Poll
Another petition link for saving Alaska's Wolves. It's to stop the aerial hunt. State what's on your mind to impower the impact. I did!---> Help Save Alaska's Wolves
Nightline aired a special report on the controversy on the Northern Rockies wolves. To see it go---->[link]
How the cycle begins when wolves are hunted down. If it isn't wolves, it's bison, if it isn't bison it's elks....

P.S. Also please if you want to expand the fight insert this in your blog. It'll spread the word more if you do. L&H
Update: Had disabled the comment section because I'm tired of explaining why I did this. Not to mention it's not open for argument. If you want on the status on this please visit:[link]

Listen I did this because I just wanted to. I didn't do this to create an argument, but awareness. You are like the fourth person to make it more than what it is and now I'm going to change the comment section for this.

Why just wolves? They're are a lot of precious animals that are WAY more endangered. I say, We should be trying to save ALL of those animals.

I support this stamp with fervor.
But disagree that wolves are defenseless.

Well against humans with guns and politicians running their fate is why I said defenseless. Hope that clears it up why I used it. ^_^

I won't argue with you about the wolves anymore... I'm just confused as to how black bears are relevant to anything? Just because you have black bears doesn't mean you know what its like to live in Montana. I'm sorry, but that's just a silly argument.

As how you have a population problem with wolves we have with black bears. Now you understand, but you don't live here in Jersey.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The difference is, black bears can be managed where wolves cannot. If you have a black bear problem, do you understand our problem even though you do not live here and experience what we experience everyday? I'm sure you don't like seeing black bears killed for being nuisances anymore than I do but its a sad fact of civilization. The more wildlife/human conflicts we have, the more animals are killed because they were doing what was natural to them and that is what is sad about all the instances of problem wildlife being killed whether it be in seasoned hunts or government intervention. The killing is never going to stop as long as humans continue to populate the world.

Well here they say they can't be managed and whatever they do it's still not enough. They wanted to put a hunt for bears for the past couple of years and a good majority of us said no therefore there no hunt. Just because one sees a mother bear and two cubs they say it's a lot. To me it's a majority of people who think that there is too many of anything, but not enough malls and highways. Hence that is another topic. The way I see it we are no different from wolves or any other creature. We need nourishment, shelter, a safe environment and protect our young.

Do you think that maybe allowing hunts to go on would make the animals more weary of coming around towns and getting into trouble? Bear management is really interesting, but its just not feasible to put electric shock pads on every garbage can in the world... although they do work pretty darn good on grizzlies. I don't think its feasible to give everyone bear proof garbage cans either... not to mention the fact that a lot of people think its really fun to feed the bears... big mistake there. I think that the issue we're facing up here is not being able to raise our children in a safe environment... not because I'm afraid of the big bad wolf, but because a lot of families are losing too many cattle and can no longer provide for their families. The sad thing about what's going on right now is that a lot of people have the SSS philosophy... Shoot, Shovel, and Shut up. You'd be surprised at the number of wolves that are killed by stupid idiots that just want to get rid of them and they never get caught because of the SSS way of thinking. The other thing that you might be surprised to know is that most ranchers don't hate them like is portrayed on tv. Most will actually quietly allow the wolves to take the weaker calves (1 or 2) every year. They happily co-inhabit the same places. The problem is when the wolves aren't finding enough of their natural food source, like right now with our whitetails, that they start relying on the ranches for an alternate food source. Recently, a pack of about 27 had to be killed because they got out of hand. There were 2 breeding females, which is rare, in this pack. FWP didn't know there was any more than 10 out there when they went out. The reason the wolves were taken out was because they had taken out 11 animals, 10 full grown cows and 1 fully mature, full grown bull. Can you imagine taking down a bull? I still can't even fathom what that must have been like. When FWP called the rancher to let him know the numbers, he asked if he could come in and see them. (this is the part of the story you don't get to see in tv) The rancher came in and was completely heartbroken. He looked at each one and knew them individually. He'd seen the pack grow over the years and had come to have a quiet respect for them and was completely content living with them. He said he hated to have had to call FWP but if there hadn't been an intervention, he may have lost his entire herd, making it impossible to care for his family. Its a very hard decision that has to be made, and not everyone is going to be okay with it... but its a real problem just like your black bears.

Just a question... you do know that it is Fish Wildlife and Parks that proposed the de-listing of the wolves right? And Obama's administration put it through this time. We all know how wolves are... how can we think that it will be THAT easy to kill a wolf during a hunt... besides that, here in Montana, that bag limit for this first season is 75 wolves. FWP doesn't even expect the hunters to even get that close to bagging 75 wolves. The wolf numbers have far exceeded the numbers that Malloy set, in fact they have gotten out of hand in many places up here. If the hunts aren't allowed, FWP is just going to have to keep going in and taking out whole packs that are causing problems. That's worse than hunters claiming a few wolves each year. Besides that, our whitetail deer population is on the verge of dropping onto the endangered species list this year. We lost a lot of fawns this winter because of the cold temperatures. Does make up less than 40% of the population. Antlerless deer tags aren't being sold this year in an attempt to bring the population up to sustainable levels. The wolves take about as many deer as hunters do, plus our roadways are extremely dangerous for the deer. Managing populations of all animals, including the wolves, is extremely important to our local ecosystem. You can find all the information of Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks website. Its not going to be as bad as everyone thinks. I've talked to Montana's wolf expert... there are more wolves that we even know about up here.

To honestly think it's right to hunt wolves because there is too many is a poor excuse. It's like saying a serial killer has the right to kill humans, because there are just too many. There are other ways to control the population. Montana is a HUGE state and there is enough room for wolves to roam. We are talking about a pack that are just not even the population of those who live in my town. Also once you cut the wolves numbers you would just create another problem like a rise in prarie dogs etc. Then what? So I'm sorry, but you have your view and I have mine. Besides there are ALOT of states in the U.S. who don't have wolves that live in the wild and that is why the deer population is growing in and around where we live.

Please explain to me other ways to manage populations? Make them all infertile? Send them all to zoos? Release them into the towns and cities with deer populations? I'm curious to know what kind of alternate population controls there are. Montana may be huge, but you don't know anything about it, obviously. Just because we're the fourth largest state doesn't mean there aren't human/wolf conflicts. The wolves don't eat prairie dogs as a primary food source. In fact, there aren't a ton of wolves on the east side. The majority reside on the west side of the Continental Divide. Let's just say the quota of 75 wolves was met... you really think that that's going to cause prairie dog populations to sky rocket? That's really funny. What about the states that don't have wolves? What do they have to do with us being able to manage our wild life? Do you really want us to send them to you? Since you seem to have a deer problem where you are, I guess hunters aren't slaughtering the whitetail... I wonder... why would a wolf season be any different? I am just trying to give everyone that is against the hunting season a view of what is going on up here. You don't know. You aren't here. You haven't talked to the people that have been studying the populations for the last 50 years. I've seen the radio-collar signals. I've seen how they travel and where they disperse to. I've seen what happens when the government has to come in and do their own management and its not pretty. Believe me, a hunt is going to kill far less wolves each year than what we've had to kill because of problem packs getting out of control. By all means, make sure they stay on the list. The government will just continue to go in and kill entire packs because there is no other way to manage the population.

For one I didn't just say prairie dogs I said etc. You're not reading the whole sentence correctly so you're the one who is funny. Wolves do eat rodents and other animals not just deer. And the fact you're not willing to find a better way to solve the wolf population just means you're bent on getting rid of them period. Yes send them to states that will accept wolves to control the overwhelming deer population. This is also happening despite the hunting season so you know. Also what you said is so absurd just because I live in a city I don't know how it is. It's like me saying to you, you don't know how it is to live in a city. If I had money I'd would love to live where you are and wouldn't be threaten by any old wolf and it's pack. It's better than living amongst rapists, murderers or robbers. BTW wolves aren't different than dogs so what is wrong with spaying or neutering a certain percent of them, but like I said you all are bent in getting rid of them. You have your view and I have mine so please let's leave it at that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, we're all bent on getting rid of them. That's exactly what I said... not. And you know what, I don't know what its like to live in a city. Why? Because I've never lived there. Sure, there are rapists, murderers, robbers... but that doesn't mean I know what its like to live there. We have rapists, murders and robbers here too. So I will say that you don't know what its like to live here because you don't live here. What you see on TV or read in books/magazines/internet does not give you a real sense of what its like here. Coming here for a week or 2 visit doesn't give you a clear understanding of what its like to live here. I'm actually rather surprised that you would want to go out and spay and neuter a large number of wolves. They tried that with our wild horses, it didn't go over very well. You think that because I live here and support wildlife management that I don't care about the wolves and that I absolutely hate them. That's very wrong. I love them. I think they're beautiful, majestic creatures that deserve to be here just as much as the rest of us. We did come in and take over their territory, the natural hunting grounds, replaced their natural prey with an easier target, etc etc etc. The wolves are not going to be slaughtered if the hunt is allowed to go through, which it is in certain areas already. The expect 2 wolves to be killed in the Bob Marshall Wilderness. That's hardly going to make any difference. Of course they eat rodents, it was your poor example. You do have your opinion, I have mine. I can see your point of view, however, you don't seem to be open-minded enough to see that the other side of the argument has valid points as well. Yes, there are people going around with stickers on their cars that say "smoke a pack a day" but you know what? Those are the extremists that really don't give a crap about the wolves. They hate them. There are a HUGE amount of us that actually love the wolves to death, but we recognize that there is a problem that needs to be dealt with in any way possible. If its not going to be taken care of by season hunts, the government is going to continue to slaughter whole packs, some of which may not have been part of the problem but happened to be part of the pack that is. Tell me that's not what you're really wanting to continue?

I didn't say spay and neuter a large amount of wolves. Again you're twisting my words.I said a certain percent. Another thing you shouldn't say I don't know how it is when I do live in a state who has black bears. We just learn how to live with them. Of course I know you too have the same crime we have, but you didn't see my point. I'm saying that wolves are not really a HUGE threat compared to criminals. We can argue this whole issue back and forth, but you seem to want to get the last word. No matter what you say to me it wouldn't change my mind and what I have to say to you wouldn't change your's. So I'm sorry, but we should end this here. Thank you!

Always a pleasure. Y'know, in Switzerland, several wolves wander around in the alps, coming from northern Italy, but many of them get shot. There's a limit how many sheep a wolf may kill - I guess 25 - in a certain time, and since the herds aren't protected by dogs as in Italy, many sheep get killed. Which results in the wolf being shot after some months
Swiss politicians are just too stupid to make up way of dealing with the wolves that doesn't say "Just kill them". In Italy, the shepherds get their dogs and portable fences paid by the government. I wonder why we can't do it like this...

My thoughts exactly! Alot of people say we city folk need to mind our own business because we don't know how it is. I'm like BS! I rather live in the wilderness any day compared to the city. At least I wouldn't have to worry about getting shot, murdered, rape or bullied by my own kind. Wildlife is just barely surviving and they don't kill humans on purpose.
BTW you are welcome any to using my stamp. ^_^
Thank you for the support in these loving creatures.
