Wolf Hunters Quickly Bag Quota in Southern Montana

From the Helena Independent Record:
Montana's statewide wolf hunting season on Monday came to an abrupt halt in the southern portion of the state, only one day after it started.

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks ordered hunting closed in Wolf Management Unit 3 a half-hour after sunset Monday. . . .

The hunting closure. . . was prompted by four wolves that were reportedly killed from that unit, which pushed the total number taken from the area to 13. A pre-established quota called for taking only 12 wolves from that area.

Good job my brothers from across the Bitterroots!!! The more I have been drug into and educated on the whole wolf deal, the less pro-wolf I have become....nothing against the wolf, just the way in which they have been used by certain groups to try and end our western way of life....

As quickly as the quota was met should tell you a little something about the status of the population......

Shane the other wolves were killed in backcountry units, the season started earlier there. Don't jump to conclusions.

It means "Shoot 'em, shovel 'em, and shut up".

RESPONSIBILITY
A fundamental issue revolves around wolves. Are we REALLY out to conserve wildness? Or only the PIECES that suit us? To the extent that we pick and choose pieces, wildlife communities will reveal that much more about the temporary goals of human communities and the much less about the holistic workings of nature. How, then, shall we EVER understand creation?

It seems we only preserve something so that in the future we can cause it's later destruction. All of it circling around the monetary gains of our government, and it's citizenry. This all seems fine on the surface except that because of our foolishness global warming is a reality.

When will we learn that the "wisdom" of man is foolishness unto God. God made all things that we should be HIS steward and CARE for HIS creation. He did not give us license to destroy it. He did not bless His creation to watch us destroy the very perfect gift he placed into our safe keeping. Instead of caring for, and preserving his masterpiece we place value on a monetary system that is sure to fade to black.

Instead of cherishing the sunrise, and viewing nature's celebration of another day...we see each day as a means to an end. We have lost the spirit of God, in the rush to greedy self-indulgence.

Instead of being watchers of this planet we have, and continue to, argue over our right to, essentially annihilate ourselves. For by now we should know that to destroy life on this planet will eventually lead to our own demise.

We have raped the earth and all it's creatures and she is crying out in despair. We choose not to listen. We choose instead to turn our backs, becoming complacent to her needs. Trust me that in doing so, one day we will wake to find she is utterly deaf when it comes to ours.
