MISSOULA, Mont --(Ammoland.com)- ?With their latest petition to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, animal rights activists are preparing to sue for federally mandated release of wolves in every state, warn officials with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. David Allen, RMEF president and CEO, says animal rights groups have learned that introducing wolves translates to major fundraising, and activists have found a way to exploit the Endangered Species Act? as well as taxpayer-funded programs that cover lawyer fees ?to push their agenda and build revenue through the courts. ?There are now about 100,000 gray wolves in the U.S. and Canada, and over the past few years in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, activists discovered that every wolf is also a cash cow,? said Allen. ?If we don?t get some reform in federal laws very soon, we?re all going to be living in Jurassic Park. This is not about saving a lost species. It?s about money and special interest agendas.? ?Americans need to wake up,? he added, ?because when you respond to those fundraising letters with photos of cute little wolf pups, you?re writing a check that our country?s rural and traditional lifestyles can?t cash. You?re eroding the fundamentals of America?s model for wildlife conservation.? Allen said undermanaged wolf populations in the northern Rockies are compromising the health of other wildlife species?especially elk and other prey. In areas of Montana and Idaho where wolves share habitat with elk, calf survival rates now are too low to sustain herds for the future.... ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
