The wolves are in trouble - Care to Help?

i find it outlandish to call a sacred animal “game”… and i hope and trust that any human who subscribes to this language and the underlying mentality, will be subject to being hunted and / or otherwise considered as dispensable. Every organism has its own right to existence and demanding that these animals live in a small designated area is bad enough (similar to the injustice of quarantining the native indians who actually knew how to live in balance with the land) , mass slaughter is unacceptable.

apparently US officials say that stabilizing CO2 emissions (around 535ppm) sufficiently to prevent more than a 2 degree temperature increase could lead to a global recession: “no world leader will pursue a strategy that would lead to economic recession.”

I wonder if that is really true? i wonder if the people of this world will see that if we want the concept of economic prosperity to continue to exist, we are rather dependent on an environment that is supportive of life… we are required to find better balance with our environment. It is not an option. It is not an economic trade off. Either we decide to find a gentle balance or we will face strife and natural disasters and repercussions stemming from over consumption and over combustion… It is simple and obvious.

Update:
You can listen to the friendly Idaho Governor here at Defenders

From Idaho Fish and Game website :

When feasible and legal, the state would propose hunting wolves to provide opportunity for harvest of wolves, as well as to reduce problems with livestock and to maintain a balance between wolves and their prey.

Please allow me to draw your attention to the phrase “harvest of wolves”…

From The Sportsmen for Fish & Wildlife ( supported by King’s big business in Killing ) :

SFW continues to use politics as a tool to protect our hunting and fishing heritage in Idaho. With full-time staff in place Idaho SFW members will have their united voices shaping the policies and legislation used to manage our treasured wildlife resource.

From In Defense of Animals :
“the native species conservationists worked so hard to reintroduce and protect will likely be stalked and killed soon by an even more aggressive predator — man.”

So basically as i see it, the human predators at the Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife, are dancing on thin ice above hypocritical waters… (if they aren’t already swimming proudly)… They admit (boldly and proudly) that they are “using politics”… They portray that they are supported by big business (Kings) who OF COURSE stands to gain plenty from permission to kill these precious native species.

Are we really so civilized? Do we have no capacity to create peaceful pathways of co-existence? Do you personally respect life? Does that wolf have less right to exist than you? Is it threatening your ability to survive?

What are the reasons to destroy these animals? To take their last breath from a long distance without any fair fight? Is it wise to encourage men to use their intelligence to kill? When will we decide that the power rush is just not worth it? When?

As best as i can gather from my distant investigation, The primary motivating factors for killing all but 100 wolves in Idaho are as follows:
1. Sport (I suppose people have the right to entertain themselves as they wish and suffer the karmic consequences duly)
2. Protecting Human Lives (Have there been any injuries or deaths?)
3. Protecting livestock and other domesticated animals (ranchers will be reimbursed for wolf-related deaths)
4. Economic profit (from sport, and “saved” livestock)

So what are the statistics? How many livestock have been killed? How many humans have been attacked? Who are the real “invaders”?

Crazy world we live in!

White man takes land from nature, driving the people away who actually know how to coexist and communicate with and respect the creatures of the land. Then we want to protect our “live stock” so we can kill them ourselves…

And yes, we call ourselves civilized.

:-D

i am a bit out of breath at the moment…

very disturbed.

so i reviewed an item at amazon:

Tragic Blasphemy
Dear Dear Citizens of earth,

I write this review with a heart heavier than stone. A deep sorrow runs through my being as i become aware of this book and the horrible practices it seems to suggest. This review is based on the reading of chapter 17 on a website called stop the rod dot net. you can search for the title of this book on google and see the whole chapter there. I keep wanting to THINK it is a hoax or something… but the title of chapter 17 is clearly visible in the table of contents here at amazon: “The correct use of chastisement”

I suppose everyone is entitled to their own opinions and views and decisions about child raising and punishment. I don’t intend to judge anyone for their opinions. I am intending to point out some observations.

Over the years of humanity’s recorded history, we have seen MANY repetitions of a cycle or behavior that is very crass and in my opinion extremely blasphemous. People rationalize power hungry suppressive and VIOLENT behavior by using the name of God (eg. The Crusades). I cannot condone this behavior, i have trouble to accept that there are still humans on this planet who are employing this painfully destructive cycle.

If I were in front of you right now, i would beg you not to beat your child, not with your hand, not with a “rod” as this book blatently suggests, not with your words not even with your thoughts. The children of earth deserve better than this, my dear brothers and sisters.

I would like to make this perfectly clear with a small painfully true adaptation of the back cover: (integrating some material from chapter 17)
“J Richard Fugate accepted Christ as his savior in 1968 at the age of 28. Three years later he totally committed himself to serve God wherever he was called.”(back cover). These days he is selling books that encourage parents to beat their children with a rod in order to “bring a rebellious child’s will under control” (pg.173). In cases where the child is excessively willful, Fugate suggests that it may “require enough strokes to receive stripes or even welts” (pg. 173).

I can not manage to reconcile this incredible injustice, and i truly hope that you will never have to read this review, because amazon will soon remove this book from its system of moral, ethical, if not legal grounds.

I am happy to suggest that you have a search for a book about indigo children (if you do a google search for: indigo children gotjosh … you can find a site that includes some audio readings of a fantastic book that is not widely distributed.)

blessings on your path, and virtue in your child raising decisions,
joshua

Please join this campaign if you have a moment… even if you don’t have a dime, just your attention and prayer (or hope or whatever you wanna call it)…
