You can use the pre-written message or edit it with your own text; it only takes a minute of your time to help in the battle to ensure we can maintain healthy populations of elk, deer, moose, and many other species of wildlife. Without responsible management of wolves, the future of abundant wildlife herds in America has been put at risk.
Your message will be sent to:
Barack Obama (D), President
Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D), Vice President
Your U.S. Senators
Your U.S. House Representative
Sally Jewell, Secretary of the Interior, Secretary
Rowan Gould, Deputy Director, Operations
Tom Vilsack, Secretary of Agriculture, Secretary
Please TAKE ACTION and PASS THIS ON to others so they can take action as well; the future of our wildlife herds depends on all of us demanding responsible wildlife management based on sound and unbiased science, not emotionally based propaganda and unjustified lawsuits generated by anti-hunting organizations.
Thank you.

Message from Big Game Forever:
"Folks,
It is starting to happen. We are starting to see the greater extremism when it comes to efforts to block wolf and other predator management. From “dangerous” and “illegal” sabotage to lawsuits to aimed at blocking federal predator control programs.
Here are just a few examples:
NPR Report: Earth First tries to sabotage wolf-hunting season
Quote: “the manual lays out strategies for releasing that wolf back into the wild. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks spokesman Ron Aasheim says that's not only illegal, it's dangerous. RON AASHEIM: ‘You bet it's dangerous. And some of their techniques, you're talking about a wild animal, a predator, and, you know, they're hundred-pound animals.’” http://www.npr.org/2013/09/25/226010295/environmental-group-tries-to-sabotage-wolf-hunting-season
Associated Press: Wild Earth Guardians says USDA Wildlife Services Predator Control should be suspended
Quote: “ The conservationists said the program that spent $127 million to exterminate more than 5 million animals in 2010 should be suspended nationally until USDA updates its scientific analysis that's based largely on an environmental impact statement conducted in 1994 when the program was much smaller.
http://www.ksl.com/index.php?sid=27141468&nid=148&title=appeal-filed-to-stop-usda-predator-killing-in-nev
Animal’s Rights Rhetoric moves to the forefront in wolf delisting
Quote: “When wolves loose protection, they die.”
http://www.wildcalifornia.org/blog/wolves-deserve-recovery-take-part-in-the-national-day-of-action/
The bottom line is simple: Powerful special interest groups are trying to use unmanaged predators to cause the decline of wild game numbers in America. Responsible predator management is an important component of maintaining and/or restoring abundant wild life numbers. We need American’s sportsmen and conservationists to fight for the future of wild game in America.
Please help spread the word. Please forward this email to every sportsmen you know and ask them to send a letter of support using our automated system at http://capwiz.com/biggameforever/issues/alert/?alertid=62830341&PROCESS=Take+Action
We can no longer afford to take abundant wildlife in America for granted. We need millions of sportsmen to answer the call if we hope to preserve our outdoor heritage.
Thank you for your support,

Being legal, responsible, and unemotional works both ways. You need to disassociate with the hot headed, emotional hunting faction if you want to be taken seriously.

When you say " the future of our wildlife herds depends on all of us demanding responsible wildlife management based on sound and unbiased science, not emotionally based propaganda", the message is blunted when "sportsmen" like Big Game Forever use their own emotional propaganda and guys on sites like Hunting Washington encourage people to shoot, shovel, and shut up.

Blacktail, this thread isn't a debate thread. This is a thread to write our elected officials about how we want to be able to manage wolves. If you disagree with it, then just go start another thread so it can be discussed or go to www.defenders.org (http://www.defenders.org) and make a contribution. Not every thread is asking for your input. This one most definitely isn't.
Thanks for the info Jim. Mine's been sent.

BTW I don't take advice from people on how to be taken more "seriously" when the only real way for you to take me seriously is to give up and change my mind.

Since you want Scientific MGT BT and these envirio orgs want to curtail or stop FEDERAL management what does that mean to you? Most of us push for MORE harvest of Wolves than what the feds are doing NOT less. I think its safe to say that many of us consider what the FEDS are doing is a bare minimum of what should be done, interfering with that is NOT sound management. So how exactly is reinforcing federal policy "emotional propaganda"? It seems to me they are informing the public what some enviro groups are doing, some of which is AGAINST THE LAW!

No troll feeding in this thread please.

Pman just becuse you and I know who the trolls are doesnt mean we shouldnt address ignorance even if its fake. Part of the power of this forum is thability to reach those that are new to the issue. Ihaveore than one conversation with member here about being tired of combating false info and feigned ignorance. There are many that read what is written but never do so themselves. Imo it is a lot harder to make a solid argument online, but is extreamly powerfull because of its reach.
I agree, so start another thread on the topic and let's debate it. This is one that Huntrights started to get the word out about this signature initiative. I think there are many different reasons for threads; one is debate, and another is information. This one is the latter.
