I hope when you all read this, you notice that the Sierra Club is always part of these lawsuits. They are NOT our friends.


Antis Attempt to Block Rocky Mountain Wolf Delisting

Federal Court Challenge Filed
6/4/09

A coalition of 13 anti-hunting and environmental groups filed a challenge in federal court on June 2 to block the recent delisting of the northern Rocky Mountain wolf populations from the Endangered Species list.

If successful, this would prevent Idaho and Montana from assuming control over the scientific based management of their wolf populations including proposed, regulated hunts.

The move was not unexpected as the groups had announced their intention to respond to when the Rocky Mountain wolf population was formally delisted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The anti groups include:

Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), Defenders of Wildlife, Natural Resources Defense Council, Sierra Club, Center for Biological Diversity, Jackson Hole Conservation Alliance, Friends of the Clearwater, Alliance for the Wild Rockies, Oregon Wild, Cascadia Wildlands, Western Watersheds Project, Wildlands Project, and Hells Canyon Preservation Council.

It is expected that the HSUS and another coalition of anti-hunting groups will also file a challenge to block the May 4 delisting of wolves in the Great Lakes region. This ruling allows for wildlife officials to manage populations based on sound science.

We need to get the crosshairs on that group of varmints...

Oughta take those people out into wolf country and push'em out the door naked. If they're still alive in the morning maybe they have a new perspective, eh?

I hope some day we are able to join as a "national organization" and support groups such as cattlemens association, RMEF, SCI and such.....

I hope to hear more dialog about this topic.

URE, I agree but houndsmen are like trappers. For the most part, they stick to themselves and dont' seem to get involved as much as other groups of hunters. I just join all those groups and hope they stand up for us. They usually do. Where we are getting our butts kicked is in the courtroom and ballot box. Groups like NRA,USSA, SCI have to money to fight these groups so that's why I support them. I wish more hunters did. Houndsmens groups just don't have the money so they can't get involved with these high dollar ventures.

thats cause other types of hunters like to throw dog hunters under the bus and won't accept logical truthful explanations contrary to their ignorant anti dogging opinion. but that has just been in my limited experience.
