Folks,
I am sharing with you the official plan
from
the federal
government to place wolves in the Southern Rockies. Every
sportsman in America needs to see this plan. These plans will
spread wolves into 97.5% of all elk in America.
Here is what they are doing: Baca
National Wildlife refuge
in Southern Colorado will have wolves transplanted in 2012 if portions
of this plan are implemented. Baca is much, much smaller than
Yellowstone. It is only 70 Miles from Northern New Mexico.
It is only 250 Miles from Southern Utah and Northern Arizona.
Wolves can travel that far in less than a week.
Yellowstone National Park was used to
introduce wolves to
the Northern Rockies. Without your help, history will repeat
itself this year in the Southern Rockies.
See the official plan for yourself at
the link below (look
on page 8, bottom of the first column where they mention the
introduction of wolves in Colorado's Baca National Wildlife Refuge).
Here is how you can help stop these
plans:
(1) Spread the word: Send this email to
10 friends and ask
them to forward this email to more friends.
(2) Join the Fight: If you haven't
already, sign the
online petition to stop these wolf expansion plans at
http://biggameforever.org
(3) Take Action: It only takes 30
seconds to send a
message to your representatives in Congress to stop these plans. Simply
go to
http://biggameforever.org/takeaction
and click the “Take Action” button to send a message in
support of two bills in Congress, S. 249 and H.R. 509, the Big Game and
Livestock Protection Act. Without S. 249 and H.R. 509, it will be
very difficult to slow down these plans to expand wolves throughout
97.5% of all elk in America.
Without a very substantial outcry from
sportsmen and
livestock owners, wolves will very likely be placed in Colorado this
year. While attempts have been made to dismiss the use of wolves
as "not the preferred alternative," now that they are an official part
of the plan, we are one very small step away from having wolves
introduced into Baca National Widlife Refuge. We can't leave this
to chance.
Over 10,000 messages have already been
sent to Congress to
stop the plans to put wolves in the Baca, but we need many, many more.
Especially from the 600,0000 hunters in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona
and Utah.
We need all need to join the fight to
stop this from
happening. Remember, Idaho's elk harvest has been cut in half by
wolves. Wolves have been a huge burden for livestock producers.
Without substantial changes to the underlying statutes, it is a
bad idea to spread these failed policies to the Southern Rockies.
Here are some news articles about these
plans for wolves
in Colorado.
