A different kind of terrorist

These terrorists are killing wolves indiscriminately. Why? For the meat? Hard to believe. For the pelts? Wolf fur makes a good fur coat? The thrill? What thrill?

Here's what's happening:
Entire wolf packs in the Greater Yellowstone and northern Rockies region are being stalked and killed. Already destroyed is Yellowstone National Park’s famous Cottonwood pack. The pack’s adults were all apparently gunned down -- the surviving pups will likely starve to death without their family.

Here's what you can do to help: Go to www.savewolves.org. Read the details. Sign the petition to Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar. Consider donating to this amazing organization and to its important advertising campaign.

The natural world is sacred. Just as human life is sacred. When ranchers' livestock is genuinely threatened, killing a wolf, or even a few wolves is understandable, even though it's a sad affair. Killing wolves by the scores in a national forest is not right in any sense of the word. 80,000 people have already let Mr. Salazar know that this is not right. I hope you will add to that number.
