Hearings on wolf delisting begin tonight in Cheyenne, WY
The most important thing about the hearings is that you show up, and make your viewpoint clear by what you wear, small signs, etc. These may not be allowed into the hearing rooms, but the media will want to see them. These hearings are only because they are required by law, and they are really important because of the media, not to gather any information. Don’t be shy, the wolf haters aren’t. My viewpoint.

At the request of Wyoming’s US Representative Barbara Cubin, there will be a hearing in Cody, but the time or place has not been announced.
Update. Feb. 28: as far as I can tell, and there has some discussion, the date of this still hasn’t been set. . . . kind of like a stage for local politicians and loudmouths to rant and rave with no else having the opportunity to disrupt their script. Will the media play its predetermined role?

I am planning on attending the delisting meeting in SLC tomorrow. However, I am also concerned as to how I can get my questions addressed. There is little time for scheduled public forum.
Do you have a POC inwhich I can send my questions in written form.
My impression is the meeting will be filled with special interest groups, ie. outfitters, hunting clubs etc.
Thank you for keeping us informed.
OOPS! I see the address and dates you have provided thanks.
