RE: Robert Clifton Artois

Dear Sir:

I am writing regarding the case against Robert Clifton Artois, founder of the Black Wolf Rescue Center in Triangle who faces 28 counts of animal cruelty.

This man kept dogs and wolves in inhumane conditions, in small cages and
without food and water, which is cruelty in the extreme.

I request that if convicted he receive the maximum sentence and be required to undergo psychological testing and counseling. Mr. Artois should be completely restricted from ever keeping animals or overseeing their care in the future. An animal abuser should not be allowed to have the privilege of having animals in their care, as the risk to defenseless animals would be too great.

My opinion is that animal cruelty should be regarded as a serious offence. Animals in captivity are very vulnerable and there are countless cases of cruelty against them. Animals need the protection of the law and I ask you to hand this man the most severe sentence possible. A sentence should reflect the seriousness of a crime and this crime of extreme cruelty to animals, causing living torture and to some, death, could hardly
be more serious in its effect upon living creatures whose feelings and needs are identical to our own. It is a pity that the law does not yet view the suffering of animals as seriously as that of humans, even though it is exactly the same.

Your honor, I work with wolves in a non-profit licensed organization in California. We take great care of our animals and they are very special to us. No animal deserves to be beaten, starved and uncared for.

I hope that you will understand the strength of feeling about such a case on the part of animal lovers.

I thank you for your kind attention. If you need further information from me, please do not hesitate to contact me at the address, telephone or email listed above.

Yours faithfully,

Tell UW-Madison to Stop Cruel Taser Experiments on Pigs! May 12, 2005 7:31 AM

Tell UW-Madison to Stop Cruel Taser Experiments on Pigs! Tell UW-Madison to Stop Cruel Taser Experiments on Pigs!

University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor John Webster plans to conduct a lethal experiment in which live pigs will be electrocuted in order to satisfy claims that the Taser is safe.

Using a $500,000 taxpayer-funded grant provided by the U.S. Department of Justice, Webster will attach electrodes directly to the pigs’ skin and implant catheters near their hearts to measure the effects of Taser shocks. He also wants to dose the pigs with cocaine and use a “Super-Taser” device to induce heart arrhythmia.

What makes the experiment even more atrocious is that similar Taser studies have been conducted with pigs, dogs, and bovines on other occasions since 1989. Webster has also stated that he believes Tasers are safe to use on people, negating any claim that this could be an unbiased study.

Tasers are already widely used, and their relative safety can be easily measured using human data. If the weapon manufacturer and law-enforcement agencies were to take responsibility and accept a sensible protocol of follow-up medical assessment for Taser victims, they could gain relevant information. They could supplement this information with the medical histories and autopsy reports of the more than 100 people in North America who have died after being shot with Tasers.

Muscle contraction test structure used by the U.S. military in Taser experiments on pigs

UWM students and faculty members are outraged that their school would allow this cruel and unnecessary experiment to take place. One faculty member even withdrew from an unrelated study with Webster because she ethically objected to his Taser experiments on animals. Read her letter of withdrawal.

The sister of a Taser victim has also joined us in protesting the experiments. Read her letter to Chancellor Wiley.

PETA has asked both UW-Madison Chancellor John Wiley and U.S.Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to stop these cruel experiments. But more pressure is needed.

Read PETA’s letter to UW-Madison Chancellor Wiley.

Read Chancellor Wiley’s poor excuse of a response to PETA’s call to halt cruel Taser experiments on pigs.

Here’s PETA’s reply to the chancellor’s refusal to address our ethical concerns.

How You Can Help
Please contact University of Wisconsin-Madison Chancellor John D. Wiley and politely urge him to put an immediate end to the study and return the grant to the U.S. Department of Justice:

Wolves in Croatian zoo may die Tuesday, 3:41 AM
Croatia: Wolves face death:not enough room and food for the animals

There is a huge problem for 5 wolves living in very inadequate space in a so-called zoo near Rijeka (town in Croatia).

The animals living there are suffering and they do not even have enough food.

Presently the owner has
-syrian bears (male and female) 6 years old,
-3 domestic bears (1 m 6 years old, 2 females - 1= 9, 1= 8 years),
-2 bengal tigers (1 female 2 years and 1male 3 years old) and
-5 Euroepan wolves (4 males 5 - 6 years and female 2 years and half).

The Ministry of culture in charge of protected species declared the intention to confiscate the wolves.

Our organisation succeded in saving 8 wolves si far (4 in a state shelter for confiscated wild animals and 4 in Osijek zoo), but there is no place for the other animals. However, we were able to provide 12 t meat food for those in Rijeka.

The Ministry decided to euthanize the wolves and the date is very close.

The owner is willing to give the animals free to a better home.

Please, please help these animals.

You may contact our organisation for further details.

Kind regards

Wydeven Murders Wolf! Washura County Won't Relocate Wolves! June 27, 2005 9:18 AM

Wydeven Murders Wolf! Washura County Won't Relocate Wolves!

"Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through
understanding."-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

To Everyone,

Adrian Wydeven of the DNR in Wisonsin has murdered another Wolf. This is
a direct violation of the ESA, and of ethics.

As usual he ignores actual non lethal methods and Predator Friendly
Ranching. He is a sociopath who has murdered many Wolves.

Also, the decision to stop relocating Wolves by the committee listed below is
frightening to say the least. More than likely this other Wolf and
others who accidentally walk in Waushara will die. Especially since
relocation is no longer an option. And since non lethal methods don't seem
to be a possibility of any sort, this is also a threat to Wolves there.

So, you need to take action.

1) Contact the Honorable U.s. District Court Judge Robert Jones. He
supports the Endangered Status on Wolves. Let him know what is going on here.

U.S. District Court Judge Robert Jones
(503) 326-8340
info@ord.uscourts.gov

2) Then contact Marvin Wagner, the Legislative Committee Chairman of Waushara
County. Voice opposition to the denial of relocation of Wolves.
And tell him that even if relocation is denied, that
non lethal methods that ACTUALLY work. And that by fearing Wolves, hatred,
violence will follow.

3) Lastly, contact Wydeven and voice your outrage. He continues to ignore
non lethal methods that work. He has murdered many wolves. He almost murderered
34 Wolves (http://www.heartofthewolf.org/ESAViolation.html), but luckily it was
stopped, thanks to USDCJ Robert Jones.

USDA Murders Wolf and Pups

The USDA Wildlife Services in Wyoming recently murdered a Wolf mother
and her pups.

This is not only heinous because a Wolf was murdered, but her pups
were also slain.

The livestock interaction with the sheep could have been prevented.

The methods listed here would have prevented the sheep from dying.
And in addition to that, there was no reason to kill this Wolf and her pups.

Officials shoot wolves for killing sheep
Associated Press

LANDER - A female wolf and four pups were shot by federal wildlife
officials after the wolves killed 13 pregnant ewes owned by an
official with the Wyoming Stock Growers Association.

The wolves were shot last week in the foothills of the Wind River
Mountains, according to Mike Jimenez, Wyoming wolf recovery
coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The ewes were killed over two days earlier this month - seven on one
night and six the following night, said sheep owner Jim Magagna, who
is the executive vice president of the Wyoming Stock Growers
Association.

 
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services initially
planned to trap and collar the wolves when the agency received the
first report.

But when word of the second night's losses was received, the
decision was made to kill whatever wolves were in the area. Jimenez
said.

A male wolf and two other pups, also seen in the area in April, were
not found, he said.

Magagna did not know the estimated value of the lost livestock.

"These were ewes that were pregnant and just ready to lamb, so it's
going to be fairly high," he said.

Magagna said he is "a little bit nervous" knowing the male and two
pups were not caught.

"Hopefully, we're through with this one until wolves move into this
area again," he said.

The wolves were first seen in the area in April. In May, Gov. Dave
Freudenthal asked Fish and Wildlife to remove the wolves before
problems started.

The agency said it agreed to trap and collar the wolves but was
unable to do so because of bad weather.

Wolves are expected to be removed from federal protection as early
as next year, but the federal government has not approved a Wyoming
state management plan. The state has filed a lawsuit against the
federal government seeking the authority to kill wolves on sight if
they stray outside the two national parks and surrounding wilderness
areas.

Defenders of Wildlife and USFWS want Wolves hunted! July 03, 2005 9:58 AM

Defenders of Wildlife and USFWS want Wolves hunted!

"Yestrday's good might be tomorrow's evil."-- The Boss from Metal Gear Solid 3

'Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.' -- H.L. Mencken

Wolves in Wyoming are being pushed to be listed as trophy species so they can be hunted for sport. Suzanne Stone of Defenders of Wildlife thinks that it would limit disease there among Wolves. This is of course a lie, since no epidemics or disease have come up at all. Even then, hunting Wolves is unethical. And the USFWS is interested in supporting this.

This is not surprising for both groups since Defenders supported lethal methods in livestock interactions for the plan in Oregon, yet cries foul on hunting in Alaska.

http://www.heartofthewolf.org/paradox.html and http://www.heartofthewolf.org/hypocrisy.html

And the USFWS, including Ed Bangs have murdered hundreds of Wolves while being in control of the Wolves.

As a result, you need to email both parties your opposition to hunting of Wolves. I don't think both of these agencies would like it if their kin were hunted and had their heads put up on a wall. Not to mention, it is hypocritical for Defenders to support such heinous activity when it claims to be a conservation organization.

Wyoming plan bites into wolf protection

By Gary Gerhardt, Rocky Mountain News

July 2, 2005

Sticking to its guns to classify wolves as trophy animals and predators, the state of Wyoming will petition the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to delist wolves as a threatened species.

Federal standards call for maintaining at least 10 packs of wolves in each of the states where they have been reintroduced - Wyoming, Idaho and Montana - as a condition for removing them from the endangered species list.

Wyoming's dual classification was rejected last year by federal officials who said a plan that includes unregulated killing of wolves is not acceptable. Wyoming's challenge of that decision is still in court.

Eric Kefzler, Wyoming Game and Fish Department spokesman, said the petition, signed by the governor and drafted by the state attorney general, will be considered by the state wildlife commission on July 13.

The management plan, which is one consideration in the petition to delist, will remain intact, he said. It would guarantee at least 15 wolf packs in northwestern Wyoming, including those in Yellowstone National Park.

Wolves that leave the park would be considered trophy animals south to Pinedale and east to Cody, meaning they would be protected by a hunting season with limited licenses issued.

Any wolf that goes beyond those boundaries, however, would be considered a predator, like a coyote, that could be shot on sight.

Suzanne Stone, of the Defenders of Wildlife, said the number of wolves in Yellowstone National Park fluctuates and that there are a lot of illegal wolf kills, as well as disease, making it impossible to maintain populations without broader controls.

"We'll be very interested in what Wyoming has to offer," said Ed Bangs, U.S. Fish and Wildlife wolf recovery coordinator for the northern Rockies.

He said the key to accepting Wyoming's management plan always has been how large the "trophy" area would be outside Yellowstone Park.

"Once they cross into the 'predator' area, Wyoming law doesn't allow game officials to prohibit people from shooting them, even if the number of packs drops below acceptable levels," Bangs said.

Stop ESA rollback! July 08, 2005 1:42 AM

"The assumption that animals are without rights and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality."
-- Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher.

Stop ESA rollback!

Congressman Richard Pambo has decided to introduce a bill to make rollbacks of protection on Endangered Species possible.

He wants more rigorous standards which would mean less species protected. He also wants clear absolute distinctions between threatened and endangered species. And reducing certain parts of it to be more 'effective'.

A huge report on what he plans to do (87 pages!), is available here:

http://resourcescommittee.house.gov/issues/more/esa/ESA_Implementation_Report5.17.05.pdf

This threatens all current Endangered and Threatened Species on the Act. Sudden changes now will make it prey to sinister forces that threaten the survival of Wolves and many other species.

To stop this, please contact your local House of Representatives and tell them to oppose this:

For those who don't know who their House people are, go to this website.

http://www.house.gov/

Lastly, send your comments of opposition to Richard Pambo here:

http://www.house.gov/pombo/contact/commentsform.htm

Take action now!

Petition to stop delisting of Wyoming Wolves! July 17, 2005 8:09 PM

Petition to stop delisting of Wyoming Wolves!

Hi Folks,

I created a petition in light of Wyoming wanting to delist Wolves and gain control over them.

Here is the link along with the petition contents below.

Please take action now!

Stop Delisting of Wolves in Wyoming!


Mr. Bangs,

It is terrible that Wolves have been murdered for many years in Wyoming since their re-introduction by the USFWS (including yourself). It is even worse that the State of Wyoming ran by those who hate Wolves (Wyoming Game and Fish Commission and Gov. Dave Freudenthal) are seeking to get them delisted from the ESA. Once this happens, they will be more oppressed than they are now.

The status of Wolves right now is not what it should be. Since bullets replace conservation, and education takes a back seat, the future for Wolves and Humans co-existing will be threatened even more by allowing a bloodthirsty regime to take over.

Do not allow the State of Wyoming to have the fate of Wolves. And instead of murdering Wolves, promote non-lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching. Peace not violence is how we must live with Wolves.

Sincerely,
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/274160839

well as other information.

Instead of maintaining peace, he would rather use bullets to do so.

Stop hunting of Wolves in Canada! July 24, 2005 5:59 PM

Stop hunting of Wolves in Canada!

'Yestrday's good might be tomorrow's evil.' -- The Boss from Metal Gear Solid 3

'As long as people will shed the blood of innocent creatures there can be no peace, no liberty, no harmony between people. Slaughter and justice cannot dwell together.' --Isaac Bashevis Singer

'Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.' -- H.L. Mencken

Earthroots has taken a step that fits hypocrisy. They abhor hunting in the past and the decimation that it did to Wolves. Now in a recent plan created by the Ministry in Canada, they support limited hunting.

In the guise of representing Wolves, they say that limited hunts are the best thing for them.

So, hunting is bad in Alaska, but not in Canada, or anywhere else? The obvious implications are that to preserve peace, more organizations like Earthroots don't mind animals being hunted for sadistic fun and skinned and placed on walls.

How would they like it if they were hunted and skinned? Probably not at all. But since they are human, this doesn't mean anything.

How many more groups will stop doing the right thing and endorse violence and oppression in the guise of peace?

Earthroots wants people to support the limited hunts and other items listed below. To show that you still know what is right for Wolves, please do not support hunting of Wolves in Canada.

Contact Melissa Tkachyk of Earthroots at info@wolvesontario.org and or (416) 599-0152 x12 (office), (416) 819-7424 (cell) to tell her to stop supporting hunting in the guise of conservation.

Mexican Wolf Dies to Irresponsible USFWS! July 26, 2005 12:32 PM

Mexican Wolf Dies to Irresponsible USFWS! Hi everyone, About 5 days ago, it was reported by the Center of Biological Diversity that one of the most famous Mexican Gray Wolves, a member of the Fransisco Pack (http://www.heartofthewolf.org/Fransisco.html and http://www.heartofthewolf.org/Fransisco2.html) recently died. She died because of stress and exhaustion in captivity. This is the firect result of her mate being killed and her being relocated. It is also due to the fact that non-lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching, listed here: http://www.heartofthewolf.org/source.html are continually ignored. The USFWS constantly deals in murder and suffering rather than protecting the creatures they claim to. Contact John Morgart, USFWS Mexican Gray Wolf 'Recovery' Coordinator at: John_Morgart@fws.gov And voice your outrage at this atrocity and tell him to start using non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching so no lives have to suffer and so co-existence can once more be possible.

Carter Niemeyer Wants to Murder Two Chesimia Pack Members! July 31, 2005 8:40 PM

Carter Niemeyer Wants to Murder Two Chesimia Pack Members!

Once again the USFWS ignore non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching.

Instead of using peaceful methods to prevent conflict, they allowed things once again

to become a big problem.

As a result, the USFWS in Idaho under the command of mass murderer Carter Niemeyer

have decided to murder two members of the Chesimia Wolf Pack.

The continued denial of non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching is going

to continue to deal more murder and violence.

Please contact Niemeyer to first voice your outrage at this. Second, tell him that these methods

prove that murder is not a solution and continuing to ignore them makes him an obvious part of

the problem.

The methods are here:

http://www.heartofthewolf.org/source.html

And the article that you can also consult is here:

About Defenders this isn't surprising, they are supporting murder more and more.

Here is past information.

http://www.heartofthewolf.org/hypocrisy.html

http://www.heartofthewolf.org/paradox.html

As usual, Defenders of Wildlife doesn't promote non lethal methods and PF that works, much like the USFWS. They promote murder and oppression, confirmed with this article.

Please contact Suzanne Stone and tell her to stop this unethical support of oppression. Murder isn't conservation.

sstone@defenders.org

Next, contact Carter Niemeyer. Success isn't the oppression of Wolves when it shouldn't be happening in the first place. His constant denial of non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching isn't success, nor is the current situation of Wolves. Please show Suzanne Stone and Niemeyer that this isn't tolerated nor should it be.

Magagna shouldn't want Wolves dead. August 29, 2005 5:55 PM

Tell Jim Magagna that Wolves don't have to die for co-existence.
 
Jim Magagna of the Wyoming Stock Growers Association recently had one sheep and possibly 13 others were killed by Wolves.
He of course is out for blood and needs to see reason and logic.
We do not need to see creatures oppressed and hunted to satisfy one's self.
 He needs to see the truth that many, including the USFWS and DNR deny; the truth that non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching can work. We need to have tolerance and be able to live with others, not kill them because we can.
 
Peace not violence is what should be the focus of your letters.
Include the various links and information from this url:

Gale Norton Authorizes the murder of more Wolves! September 23, 2005 11:55 AM

Gale Norton has authorized more Wolves to be murdered!

Gale Norton, so-called Conservationist,(http://www.whitehouse.gov/government/norton-bio.html)
has taken the lie of Wolves being successfully reintroduced and has ran with it.  She now is allowing Wolves to be killed in all livestock depredations in Idaho and Montana.

On top of that, culling is also approved, if populations get too big.

This is nothing short than a repeat of Alaska (http://www.heartofthewolf.org/1000.html)

She doesn’t care much about Wolves like much of the USFWS and DNRs and is continuing their work of murder and mayhem in the guise of peace and success.

She needs to be contacted immediately at:
E-mail: gale_norton@ios.doi.gov
Phone: (202) 208-3100
Department of the Interior 1849 C St., NW Washington, DC 20240

And told what she is doing is wrong, and that non-lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching practices are the only way that things are going to change for the better. For a future of peace between humans and Wolves.

Carter Niemeyer and Todd Grimm Murdered Two Wolves! September 26, 2005 11:20 AM

Carter Niemeyer and Todd Grimm Murdered Two Wolves!

Carter Niemeyer, a notorious Wolf murderer has struck again. This time he
joined forces with Todd Grimm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife
Services Agency in Idaho.

They specifically targetted two Wolves.

As usual, non lethal methods, and Predator Friendly Ranching practices
were ignored and not used.

To even further the horrible news is the fact that Carter Niemeyer
further supports the weakening of Endandered Status on Wolves
so Idaho can hunt them to reduce their numbers.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

First, Carter Niemeyer should not have done this. For years he has
known about non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching practices.

He continues to ignore methods that have been proven to work along
with information that backs it up.

So email him and tell him that he needs to stop murdering Wolves.
And use links that are here.

http://www.heartofthewolf.org/source.html

His email is carter_niemeyer@fws.gov

Second, email Todd Grimm and let him know that murder and oppression of Wolves is not a solution
for co-existence with Humans. Equality, respect, and using non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching
is the only way for co-existence.

His email is: todd.grimm@aphis.usda.gov

Please take action now.

URGENT: Help Stop Bill from gutting Endangered Species Act! September 28, 2005 12:42 PM

URGENT: Help Stop Bill from gutting Endangered Species Act!

 

Here is the info below. Please act now!

 

Mike Wagner -- Freelance Wolf Activist-- and Co-Host
of Wolf Tracks
http://www.heartofthewolf.org
http://www.care2.com/c2c/group/TRACKS

 

A bill to eviscerate the Endangered Species Act was passed by the House
Resources Committee last week and will be voted on by the full House of
Representatives tomorrow, Thursday, September 29.

With a big enough outpouring of phone calls, we can defeat this bill in the
House and send a strong message to the Senate not to mess with America's
safety net for wildlife and native plants on the brink of extinction.

Please call your congressional Representative this morning and ask him or
her to oppose Representative Richard Pombo's extinction bill, H.R. 3824,
that would render the Endangered Species Act toothless. Calls are much more
effective than emails at this time.

To find your Representative's name and contact info, go to:
http://actionnetwork.org/BIODIVERSITY/home.html .  (You can also use this
address to sign on to the Center for Biological Diversity's Biodiversity
Activist email alert system.)

Tell your Representative's office who you are and that you live in their
district. Tell them that you support the Endangered Species Act and want
your member of Congress to support the Act also.  Ask them to vote NO on HR
3824.

This bill would be a terrible blow to endangered species.  Among other
consequences, it would remove all requirements to protect endangered species
habitat.

 HR 3824 would:

*        Completely repeal protections for endangered species critical
habitat;
*        Allow political appointees - such as Secretary of Interior Gale
Norton - instead of scientists, determine what constitutes the best
available science;
*        Assure that recovery efforts are not implemented, by making recovery
plans voluntary;
*        Exempt federal actions from having to go through independent review
to ensure that they do not jeopardize endangered species;
*        Bankrupt the endangered species program by forcing the Fish and
Wildlife Service to pay developers not to violate the law.

HR 3824 passed out of the House Resources Committee last Thursday on a 26-12
vote. It now heads to the full House for a vote. If it passes the House, it
then heads to the Senate.

Your call now could make a huge difference for endangered species and the
special places they call home.

More information is available on the Center's
http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/swcbd/press/pombo9-19-05.html  website.

The Endangered Species Act is America's safety net for wildlife and plants
on the brink of extinction. Please help to keep that safety net in place.

One of the best-kept secrets in Missouri September 30, 2005 11:22 AM

One of the best-kept secrets in Missouri
Becky Beckwith, bbeckwith@theintelligencer.com
09/30/2005

Although Darwin's theory of Natural Selection states that the fittest of all species survive the test of time, today even the strongest of them all cannot always escape screeching tires, gunshots, traps and land clearing.

The Wild Canid Center is working to reverse the trend to extinction for multiple species of canids through captive breeding, research and education. And this captivating mission is going on right under our nose. Open since 1971, the Wild Canid Center is a silent destination. With little funding, this facility seems to fly under the radar, although it is the premier breeding canid facility in the country.
A trip to the Wild Canid Center is an eye-opening, beautiful experience and the perfect place to take the family or any animal lover.

Commonly known as "the wolf sanctuary," the Wild Canid Center doesn't have the bells and whistles of the zoo, and you can't cuddle with the little pups. But this facility touches visitors in a real way, connecting humans with nature and their canine earthmates.
On Oct. 2, visitors have the opportunity to watch the wolves in action from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the facility's annual open house, "Rendezvous with the Wolves." The open house is one of three major yearly fund-raisers for the non-profit organization and the only time throughout the year that visitors may tour the facility without prior reservations.

Located near Eureka, Mo., the Wild Canid Center is on 65 acres of land within Washington University's Tyson Research Center.
Here, the organization works to carry out their mission of repopulating multiple dying species of wolves. Mexican Gray Wolves, Red Wolves, Maned Wolves and African Wild Dogs can be seen from viewing platforms or from the walkways between fenced enclosures. The Center consists of 12 to 15 enclosures that range from one to three acres, each equipped with the landscape and topography native to the wolf.

The Mexican Gray Wolf and the Red Wolf seem to be the center's current primary focus of attention. These species hinge on the reintroduction of multi-generational packs into the wild, and the Wild Canid Center leads the country in getting this done.
When Assistant Director Kim Scott started working at the Wild Canid Center in 1994, there were only 62 Mexican Gray Wolves in existence. Now there are 250 to 300 due to the efforts of the center's work along with other similar organizations within the Fish and Wildlife Service.
During a traditional tour, visitors will view the wolves' behavior while a docent tells them about the species, their origin and interesting behaviors. Visitors can compare these wolves to their descendants, man's best domesticated friend.

However, unlike the common household pet, these dogs do not receive loving human interaction. Wolves naturally fear humans, and it is necessary for them to have this fear when reintroduced into the wild, according to Scott.
Some of the wolves at the center came from zoos, and therefore must be broken of their human tolerant behavior. E
mployees and volunteers at the Canid Center work hard to have as little contact with the wolves as possible to promote their future success in the wild.
She said it can be most difficult to avoid a "cutesy" relationship with the wolves, but it is necessary for their well-being.
One of the hardest times, Scott said is when the staff must bottle feed a pup, yet not get emotionally close.
"It's hard when you're bottle feeding them to keep from saying, 'Oh, you're so cute' and snuggle up to them," Scott said. "You have to show restraint."

But all of this work pays off.
It is fair to say that the Wild Canid Center has single-handedly saved the Mexican Gray Wolf population from extinction, and that is just one step in their efforts to put an end to canid extinction.
"I would love someday to close this place because we wouldn't need it anymore. They're such majestic, beautiful creatures," Scott said.
Before that day comes, the Wild Canid Center would like to purchase their own land and build a more suitable facility to breed and observe the canids. The new enclosures they build will include rounded corners to avoid wolf injuries, visual barriers between the different species to avoid "fence fighting" (verbal scuffles between wolf neighbors) and the facility expects to be open to the public daily.

But this will only happen after the Center raises a few million dollars to facilitate the move. This weekend's open house is one of few fund-raisers to help the Wild Canid Center meet its goal.
At the open house visitors will not only have the opportunity to view and photograph the wolves, but will also enjoy Native American dancing of the Kahok Dancers and demonstrations by St. Louis Metropolitan Police Canine Division, Gateway Sled Dog Club, Gateway Search Dogs and Missouri Disc Dogs. Children's activities, games and face painting are also on the agenda for the day's festivities.
Admission for the open house is $15 per carload.

In addition to the open house, the Wild Canid Center offers two fall evening programs on Fridays and Saturdays from September through December. The Wolf Programs begin with the "Discovery Box" which allows visitors to touch wolf pelts and other unique wolf related items, view a slide show about wolf communication and join the wolves in a howl.

The Camp Fire Program is conducted around a campfire where guests will listen to "good" wolf stories and later take a walk to howl along with the wolves.
Program fees are $10 a person, regardless of age. Children under 5 are asked not to attend. Campfire programs for Halloween  [ send green star]  [ accepted]

Carter Niemeyer authorizes eradication of Chesimia Pack! October 03, 2005 11:37 AM

Carter Niemeyer authorizes eradication of Chesimia Pack!

It wasn't too long ago that he wanted two members murdered.

http://www.heartofthewolf.org/Chesimia.html

Now he wants to murder the rest of the members of the pack.

http://www.casperstartribune.net/articles/2005/10/03/news/regional/fb064a401f6afa2c8725708e0005f76b.txt

Instead of showing that non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching can be
used to prevent livestock depredations without violence, Carter Niemeyer
is once again ignoring these methods and engaging in murder.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

1) First contact Niemeyer and voice your outrage against his continual
denial of non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching. If
he educated the rancher Tom Beale and helped getting him to
use non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching Practices, this
would have never happened. Murder is not a solution for co-existence.

2) In the letter to Niemeyer, use the links from here:
http://www.heartofthewolf.org/source.html
This is because all here is proof and that which he
continues to deny.

3)Carter Niemeyer's email is: carter_niemeyer@fws.gov

4) Spread the word, for the more people that oppose this, the more
it shows that many more folks refuse to have creatures that deserve
to live oppressed.

5)Take action now.

Wolves in Turkey and Wolves in Danger in Wyoming! October 17, 2005 3:15 PM

Wolves in Turkey and Wolves in Danger in Wyoming!
10/15/2005

Have European Union get Wolves protected in Turkey!

It is very likely the European Union will be admitting Turkey soon.

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/04/international/europe/04turkey.html?ex=1286078400&en=c2de51c923f6ec23&ei=5089&partner=rssyahoo&emc=rss

As of late, Wolves are not treated well in Turkey.

http://www.heartofthewolf.org/TurkishWolf.html

In fact, torture and the murder of Wolves on the Turkish TV networks is the epitome of what they think of them.
As a result the European Union, if they admit Turkey needs to begin an active effort to preserve and protect the
Wolves in Turkey.

Education, in addition to proliferation of non lethal Methods and Predator Friendly Ranching practices
in Livestock interactions with Wolves can create hopefully a lasting peace. This is our opportunity to get
peace in Turkey between Wolves and humans. A peace without violence or oppression.

Write letters now via email to the European Union. Here is the url for contacts.

http://europa.eu.int/geninfo/mailbox/inst_en.htm

Use the links and info from this url justifying the use of non lethal methods only in livestock situations.

http://www.heartofthewolf.org/source.html

Also here are links to books and various info on literature on Wolves to distribute for educational purposes.

http://www.heartofthewolf.org/WolfFAQ.htm
http://www.heartofthewolf.org/Books.htm
http://www.heartofthewolf.org/Films.htm

Thank you for your help. Oh and the inspiration from this alert came from:

Sentaor of Wyoming Wants Wolves Delisted so Murders can resume wholesale!

Senator Michael Enzi has recently said in a new article,
"wolves have "decimated" the state's wildlife and harmed ranchers." http://www.casperstartribune.net/articles/2005/10/14/news/wyoming/5c8d0a56fe3f6c418725709a00578a47.txt

As a result, he is going to Gale Norton and wanting her to delist them.

We know this claim is ridiculous. Since Wolves rarely attack cattle,
this is one reason. Another, ecosystems with Wolves have finally
started to recover. Even studies in Yellowstone have proved this.

This is nothing more than fear and lies being generated as an excuse to delist Wolves so more can be murdered.

What can you do?

First send an email to Enzi at http://enzi.senate.gov/email.htm

This is to oppose his decision to have Wolves delisted.
Explain that Wolves are not decimating wildlife, and that Wolves
haven't been decimating livestock and that there are peaceful means
available to live with Wolves, rather than murdering them.

The proof is right here:

http://www.heartofthewolf.org/source.htm

Then please contact Gale Norton and tell her the same. She doesn't
need to delist Wolves in Wyoming, and she already has allowed more
Wolves to get slaughtered in Idaho and Montana. Wolves do not need to
be murdered for co-existence.

Please contact Gale Norton at :E-mail: gale_norton@ios.doi.gov

USFWS continues to murder Wolves! Stop it. October 17, 2005 3:15 PM

USFWS continues to murder Wolves! Stop it.  
10/13/2005

Graham McDougal of Montana Wildlife Services murders Wolf!
This new murderer has murdered one Wolf of the Battlefield Pack and seeks to
murder 2 more.

Him and Ed Bangs (who contributed to the report about this), continually
ignore non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching and also
don't educate others about it as a solution to livestock interactions with Wolves.
This is what they ignore.
http://www.heartofthewolf.org/source.htm

Email them both today in opposition to their murderous ways and tell them to stop murdering Wolves and start using non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching
practices to prevent this. They know the Ranchers they murder for, so these
issues can be prevented without violence.
Their emails are the following.

graham_mcdougal@fws.gov
and
ed_bangs@fws.gov

 Carter Niemeyer wants to murder more Wolves!

Niemeyer wants to murder a Wolf from the Moyer Basin Pack. One has been murdered
already. And it is being 'donated' for research to a David Carrier of the University of Utah (carrier@biology.utah.edu) who will be harvesting the poor dead Wolf's organs for another project in Illinois.

As a result, he wants to murder another Wolf.
And he continues to ignore non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching as solutions to peaceful existence in the issues of livestock interactions with Wolves.
And as always Ed Bangs is the knowing bystander who refuses to do anything about it and tries to unsuccessfully hide the identities in this report of the murderers and collaborators involved.

Contact them both at:

carter_niemeyer@fws.gov
and
ed_bangs@fws.gov

And contact Carrier about his unethicalness for participating in dealing with
murderers for the sake of 'science.'

Wisconsin DNR teams up with Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation to Murder Wolves! October 20, 2005 3:28 PM

Wisconsin DNR teams up with Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation to Murder Wolves!

Recently, the Wisconsin Farm Bureau decided to team up with the murderous Adrian Wydeven of the Department of Natural Resources. They want to challenge (http://www.wisconsinagconnection.com/story-state.cfm?Id=1237&yr=2005)
the recent ruling of Federal Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia who prevented the murder of Wolves in livestock depredations. (http://www.timberwolfinformation.org/info/archieve/newspapers/viewnews.cfm?ID=2669)

What can you do? First contact the Judge of the recent activities. Thank her for her support last month on the ruling and ask her help in stopping this recent attempt at more violence by the Wydeven and the WFB.

Her contact info is:

Chambers:  (202) 354-3230

Courtroom Deputy:

Then contact Wydeven and the Wisconsin Farm Bureau.

Their emails are:

Hunting Interests Threaten Wolves! October 20, 2005 3:28 PM

Hunting Interests Threaten Wolves!

A recent article came out in the Idaho Statesman about one of the biggest threats to the Wolves.

http://www.idahostatesman.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20040620/NEWS01/406200325/1001

It isn’t ranchers (who don’t support non lethal methods or Predator Friendly Ranching) or the USFWS or the DNR in this article, it is hunters and outfitters that are also a driving force of hate and violence.

In particular, it is the Anti Wolf Coalition led by Ron Gillett and Jack Oyler
(Email: Nowolves@centralidahowolfcoalition.com Homepage: http://www.usa4id.com/ciwc/) and their sponsors, the Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife (led by Nate Helm) Email: USA4ID@USA4ID.com Homepage:http://www.usa4id.com/ciwc/) who are a threat to the Wolves as well.

They also support Tim Sundles (Email: manager@natureswolves.com)
, who has a site (http://www.natureswolves.com/index.html) promoting Wolf violence.  He also murdered a Wolf in a false claim of self-defense (http://www.keepandbeararms.com/Information/XcIBViewItem.asp?ID=2424) and committed another crime by murdering a dog. (http://www.ourplanet.com/imgversn/news.html)

Tim Sundles also made a recent appearance and supported murder of Wolves.
http://www2.kbcitv.com/x68477.xml


The USFWS and DNRs (those who murder within these organizations) oppress Wolves because they can and they are soulless murderers who believe Wolves must be enslaved by Humanity. They don’t care about ethics; they just want to get ‘the job done.’

The Anti Wolf Coalition and the Sportsmen believe that Wolves are a threat to hunting interests and hate their presence in Idaho. Fueled by pure hatred, and fear of something that is different than them, they want to eradicate Wolves completely in their state. The AWC has been around for many years, since 1999. They know that the USFWS already murders Wolves, and by showing their murderous hatred and crowds, they want the USFWS to murder more Wolves.

One of the worst parts is as this article points out is that they have their own ‘scientists’ to prove their racist and murderous ideals.  The worst part is that this movement is growing. Of course them being totally insane doesn’t help either.

What can one do? Contacting these groups about their hatred and racism and getting them to stop it is one manner. Telling them that Wolves aren’t monsters, they rarely attack people and on top of that, if they did eradicate their own prey which was elk, there would be no food for them. This whole situation is because of hunters being selfish and not wanting to share with fellow beings who live with them. Hating them because Wolves are different and because they fear what they don’t understand.

Or as one quote that I remember that is quite accurate:

“It is an historical fact, sharing has never been humanity's defining attribute.” -- Professor X from X2: X-Men United

Another is warning your Senators and Congress people about it. Although most states don’t have the problem of pure hating gun toting hunters, it could arise in the future.

We have to let these racist men know that we are not going to tolerate racism, prejudice and unjust violence. Just as the Neo Nazi’s were stopped from marching in Germany recently (http://sf.indymedia.org/news/2005/10/1720450.php), we need to stand up to these people. Just because they are a big organization doesn’t make them right or justified. We have to take a stand now before they gain more ground and Wolves lives will be in danger.

New Updates on Action Alerts to help Wolves from 10/20/2005 October 26, 2005 12:18 PM

New Updates on Action Alerts to help Wolves from 10/20/2005
http://www.heartofthewolf.org/index2.htm

Although the article about the Anti Wolf Coalition in
the Statesman was from 2004
(http://www.idahostatesman.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20040620/NEWS01/406200325/1001),
it is still relevant since I got a disturbing reply
from Nate Helm (nhelm@spro.net) (one of the main
directors of the coalition. Naturally I had to reply
to lies and his proof of murderous intent. He still
wants Wolves murdered and oppressed to serve his
agenda. (http://www.heartofthewolf.org/NateHelm.doc)

Thus he still is a threat.

And what about Adrian Wydeven from the 10/20/2005
Action alert? adrian.wydeven@dnr.state.wi.us

He still supports murder in the guise of false peace.
(http://www.heartofthewolf.org/AdriansMurderManifesto.doc)

So contact them and oppose their nefarious plans! And
get them to stop murdering Wolves!

USFWS and DNR Want to Delist Wolves! Stop it now! October 28, 2005 2:44 PM

USFWS and DNR Want to Delist Wolves! Stop it now!

It started with an article that has the mass murderer Adrian Wydeven wanting to
bypass the recent ruling of Federal Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia who prevented the murder of Wolves in livestock depredations.

Article about permit:
http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/sports/archive/sports_23150239.shtml

Articles about Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle:
http://www.wisconsinagconnection.com/story-state.cfm?Id=1237&yr=2005
http://www.timberwolfinformation.org/info/archieve/newspapers/viewnews.cfm?ID=2669

The USFWS is the one’s that Wydeven sent the idea to get a permit to murder more Wolves and delist them in three states: Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota.

And the USFWS apparently supports the idea in the Northern Rockies.

http://news.fws.gov/NewsReleases/showNews.cfm?newsId=008BDB16-65BF-03E7-28DC7D9416C80573


Wolves don’t have to be murdered, period. Non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching proves that they don’t have to die. http://www.heartofthewolf.org/source.html

And delisting would be a death sentence for many Wolves.

What can you do?

First phone Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle and let her know of Adrian’s and the USFWS’ intent to defy her authority on this issue.

Her contact info is:
Chambers:  (202) 354-3230

Courtroom Deputy:
   Gwen Franklin (202) 354-3145

Court Reporter:
   Lisa Griffith (202) 898-0168

Second, call the U.S. District Court Judge Robert Jones of Oregon who has defended Wolves time and time again by not allowing them to be delisted to alert them of the danger to Wolves. (503)-326-8340

Then contact the USFWS and oppose this newest scheme to murder and oppress Wolves! Their contact page is: http://www.fws.gov/duspit/contactus.htm

Lastly, email Adrian Wydeven in opposition to his plans of murder!
adrian.wydeven@dnr.state.wi.us

TWO WOLF ACTION ALERTS! November 01, 2005 6:12 PM

TWO WOLF ACTION ALERTS!
Comment on Oregon Wolf Management Plan!

Due to the pressure of the Ranching community in Oregon,
they want to extend the comment period to Nov 30th.

This is because they along with the Oregon Wildlife Commission
want to make several 'changes' in the Wolf Management Plan.

These changes are:

• Designated the wolf as a special status mammal.

• Created a state-funded compensation program for livestock killed by
wolves.

• Allowed livestock owners without a permit to kill wolves caught in
the act
of killing livestock.

http://www.oregonlive.com/newsflash/regional/index.ssf?/base/news-12/1130606
041220860.xml&storylist=orlocal

What should be done?

Write letters to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

What you should have the focus of your letters be:

1) Althought compensation programs are helpful, what actually needs
to be done is further education and implementation of Non Lethal Methods and
Predator Friendly Ranching Practices. Wolves should not be murdered, period.

Proof is here:
http://www.heartofthewolf.org/source.html

2) Livestock owners should not murder Wolves and should not be allowed
to have permits to murder Wolves in livestock issues since it will most
likely lead to slaughter. Peaceful means and living with Wolves without
violent or oppressive means is the only way Humans can co-exist with them
truly.


Written comments may be submitted to:
ODFW
Information and Education Division
3406 Cherry Avenue NE
Salem, OR 97303-4924

F: 503-947-6009
E: Odfw.Comments@state.or.us

Questions regarding the rulemaking process or the draft plan may be directed to ODFW
by calling Craig Ely at 541-963-2138 or Anne Pressentin Young at 503-657-2000, Ext. 285.

Jimenez gives out Murder Permit!

Mike Jimenez has recently shown his true colors once again.
In an interview, he made a statement denying the constructive
nature of Non Lethal methods.

http://www.sublette.com/examiner/v5n31/v5n31s4.htm

Disturbingly enough, non lethal methods are only, 'considered'
to be used, but not used anyway.

What is the result of further denial and murder being the solution
for a false co-existence between Humans and Wolves? He makes
a murder permit.

http://www.sublette.com/examiner/v5n31/v5n31s4.htm

A permit to murder two Wolves on a rancher's property
since he won't take the time or effort to educate these same
ranchers about Non Lethal Methods and Predator Friendly Ranching Practices.

http://www.heartofthewolf.org/source.html

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

1) First write to Mike Jimenez, the USFWS 'Wolf Recovery' Coordinator at
mike_jimenez@fws.gov and tell him that murder is unacceptable in livestock issues. In fact
the whole reason this problem is continuing is because he won't employ
non lethal methods or Predator Friendly Ranching, so tell him this.

The proof is in http://www.heartofthewolf.org/source.html

2) Write a letter to the editor for the Sublette Examiner and tell that
non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching do work and are effective
and the lack of responsibility for them being used not only causes the deaths
of Wolves, but continues to create the rift that stifles peace between Humans
and Wolves without violence or oppressive means.

Ed Bangs and Carolyn Sime Murder 9 Wolves in a month! November 01, 2005 6:37 PM

Ed Bangs and Carolyn Sime Murder 9 Wolves in a month!

Recently an article came out in the Billings Gazette about a murder spree that Carolyn Sime and Ed Bangs perpetuated.

http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2005/10/31/build/state/28-wolfkills.inc

Why did this all occur? Because they failed to use non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching methods. And these two failed once again to educate ranchers about these methods. Of course Sime 'claims' to feel remorse but we know the true goal of the USFWS.

As Ed Bangs said it himself in this article: He isn't concerned with the number of wolves that have been ordered killed.

So once again Carolyn Sime and Ed Bangs ignore the lives of Wolves and murder them without a second thought.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

First you can send off emails to Ed Bangs and Carolyn Sime

Their email addresses are:

Ed Bangs: ed_bangs@fws.gov

and

Carolyn Sime: casime@state.mt.us

(She also was involved in the murder of two Wolves back in April of 2005 -- http://www.heartofthewolf.org/Sime.html , and at one point called Wolves not Wildlife and supported the oppression of Wolves! http://www.heartofthewolf.org/lazy.html )

Both need to be first held accountable for these murders since they shouldn't have happened. Second, they need to be told to start using Non Lethal Methods and Predator Friendly Ranching Practices instead of murdering Wolves. The information that proves it is here: http://www.heartofthewolf.org/source.html

And they need to also be told to start respecting wildlife, not treating Wolves like garbage to just murder and do with as they please. Only through promoting non lethal methods and Predator Friendly Ranching will peace between Humans and Wolves happen.
