The sad truth is the agency (USFWS) that reintroduced the wolves to Idaho and Wyoming has now become their enemy. Only an election victory can alter this, IMO.

ralph, you should post this. http://gf.state.wy.us/services/news/pressreleases/08/10/29/081029_1.asp
Alright, Basically the story above and looking at the Wyoming Wolf Management Plan. The state of WY has not changed hardly a thing with their “management plan” Which should be dubbed plan to exterminate. They are opening their comment period but only until the 10th of November. Written comments, Faxed, mailed and dropped off at one of their meetings are the only ways we have to disapprove.
Write them to the following.

We need to bombard them with mail showing our disapproval, even if you think it will not make a difference i am going to do it because it is what is RIGHT.
