Crying Wolf Video and Goat Murder
There is a pervasive culture of romanticism surrounding the reintroduction of large predators around the nation, even here in NY. Because of the way issues such as moving Canadian wolves into Yellowstone (where they went from being common to endangered just by changing their address), people who have no dog in the fight get to decide what will happens.... sometimes thousands of miles from their own personal habitats.
Here is a blog post about a young man who lost a large percentage of his goats to a mountain lion's wanton killing spree.
And the Crying Wolf video offers a chilling glimpse into what may well be an anti-human agenda, which may be behind the Endangered Species Act and wolf re-introduction in the Greater Yellowstone area. Beck and I watched it last night and were both enthralled and appalled by much of what we saw. Whatever you believe about man's place in the ecosystem and the positives or negatives of wolf introduction, you should really take the time to view this video.
There are always two sides to everything. Here is another side.

Ah yes, the great wolf debate, which is going on in a huge way here in Oregon.
Unfortunately we rural folks have the most to lose and the least amount of say.
It is a continuation of a War in the West, as there are so few , compared to the East, to fight back. I am tired of it and those behind it.
