New plan aims to reduce population by 60% to please elk hunters

POCATELLO, Idaho – In an effort to inflate elk populations for commercial outfitters and hunters, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) hopes to kill 60 percent of the wolves in the Middle Fork area of central Idaho’s Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, according to a predator management plan for the area released this week.

IDFG’s plan calls for an intensive program of wolf killing in the largest forested wilderness area in the lower-48 states through several successive years of professional hunting and trapping efforts designed to boost the local elk population beyond the level that can be sustained through natural predator-prey interactions.

Urge Georgia Legislators to Oppose Raccoon Torture!

Exposing the Big Game

If House Bill (H.B.) 423 passes, it will allow hunters to trap and cruelly confine raccoons for use in field trial competitions. This bill has passed through the House and is now with the Senate Natural Resources and Environment Committee, which may discuss it as early as March 11. Your voice and the voices of everyone you know are desperately needed right now. Please forward this alert far and wide!

Every minute in confinement is already a terrifying eternity for raccoons, who, during field trial competitions, are flung high into trees or hauled across fields and bodies of water as frantic dogs give chase. They must repeatedly endure this hellish ordeal, often for hours on end, and many are badly injured or even killed during the trials.

Please urge the members of the Senate…

Barrett Brown is an American activist, author, and freelance writer/journalist, whose work has appeared in the Guardian, Vanity Fair, Huffington Post, and Businessweek, in addition to guest interviews on MSNBC, Fox News and Russia Today. His work as a journalist caught the attention of the FBI when he founded Project PM, a think-tank which reports on matters related to the clandestine world of the intelligence contracting industry. His reporting struck a few uncomfortable chords, not least for his satirical tone of free speech, and he was arrested in September, 2012. Texas Judge issued a gag order to prohibit Brown from sharing his own story, while he\’s awaiting trial, and his efforts to warn other activists of the loss of his most fundamental rights of free speech, the cornerstone of his federal indictment. In this interview, his lead supporter, Kevin Gallagher exposes the facts of the case that are being manipulated by the Justice Department. In the second hour, we have a special interview with \»Fatah\»– my secret source on Libya, who travels in and out of the country to an undisclosed location. She\’s in danger of arrest and torture every time she enters the country. \»Fatah\» gives us breaking news on the Green Resistence\’s success in taking control of southern Libya. By all accounts, the Green Revolution is now fully underway and uniting local peoples. Don\’t miss this show!
