| HEART OF THE WOLF NEWS 8/22/2009 HEART OF THE WOLF NEWS 8/22/2009 1) An injunction by the same environmental groups who filed one last time to halt delisting did so again. Hopefully this one will save Wolf lives before it is implemented. http://www.missoulian.com/news/local/article_60b2b796-8e12-11de-9f46- 001cc4c03286.html The reason for the injunction is that those groups believe the numbers for the Wolves and where they will be slaughtered where selected at random and will impact populations including that of Yellowstone. Ed Bangs tries to dispute it. But whether this is a ruse of a reason is unclear. The main thing is that Wolves shouldn't be murdered. There is a battle in Wisconsin over hunting Dogs being killed by Wolves. Here is a solution to that hunters, don't hunt. You don't have to hunt to live and you don't have to hunt to have fun and have entertainment. Some conservation groups have sold out, like the Sierra Club and on Care2.com to hunting interests to boost their donations, but hunting interests shouldn't decide the true fate of the Wolves. And that is to have it so we can live with them in peace without violence, hatred, and oppression. The tags go on sale for the Idaho Wolf hunt on Monday, which there isn't much time. http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2009/aug/22/in-brief-tags-to-go-on-sale-for- idaho-wolf-hunt/ Idaho's Governor, Butch[er] Otter endorsed the 220 Wolf slaughter limit and plans to be the first in line to get a tag. He says that by slaughtering Wolves they will respect them in time as well as their place in Nature. Well guess what Butch[er], you don't respect Nature by slaughtering it, and you certainly don't respect it's place by having it in your place over a fire-place. We must stop Butch[er] and his minions from being able to hunt Wolves as well as those in Montana from hunting Wolves. http://www.idahostatesman.com/mobile_channels/story/870564.html Contact Judge Molloy and urge him to stop this hunt and oppose it however you can.

He was slaughter in a typical livestock issue. The battle of conservation vs slaughter has begun once again, this time in Switzerland, as they returned in 2007 after being wiped out around 125 years ago. http://genevalunch.com/2009/08/20/wolf-shot-in-valais-as-wwf-switzerland- takes-cantons-to-court/ There are only about 17 Wolves, and as usual, when there is a Wolf, the livestock issue always comes into play. Fireworks aren't the only things you have to use to make it work. http://www.heartofthewolf.org/nonlethalmethods.html Until Non-Lethal Methods are used, this will continue. Canton Valais was given permission in July to assassinate two. And canton Lucerne has the ability to shoot one. We have to stop this from happening. Contact both the Switzerland government and the cantons in opposition to this. http://www.parlament.ch/e/organe-mitglieder/Pages/default.aspx http://www.parlament.ch/e/organe-mitglieder/staenderat/mitglieder- kanton/mitglieder-sr-kanton-vs/Pages/default.aspx http://www.parlament.ch/e/organe-mitglieder/staenderat/mitglieder- kanton/mitglieder-sr-kanton-lu/Pages/default.aspx 3) Västra Götaland in Sweden needs to also use Non-Lethal Methods only because depredations are occurring and they slaughtered a Wolf last year.
