The Leopards
Spots, by Jim Beers, regarding
Jamie Rappaport Clark's article: Interior Department's
decision imperils wolves, Endangered Species Act.
"This woman was the last Director of the US Fish &
Wildlife Service that I served under. She was the
Director when AT LEAST (according to a Government
Accounting Office Audit) $45 to $60 MILLION hunting
and fishing dollars were STOLEN by USFWS appointees
(of Clinton) and their "sock-puppet" USFWS managers
FROM THE PITTMAN ROBERTSON AND DINGELL-JOHNSON EXCISE
TAXES."
Wolves coming
to Oregon:
"Hunting in Idaho every year, we have seen firsthand the
effects of wolves on our hunting country. Although a couple of
biologists disagree with me, I believe the Clinton
administration's wolf reintroduction plan was on of the
stupidest things we could have ever done. The attached Adobe
PDF file contains a series of images and statistics elated to
the reintroduction of wolves in the lower forty-eight
states. Wolves have already entered Oregon and will remain
protected until we have four breeding pairs in eastern Oregon
for three consecutive years, and four breeding pairs in
western Oregon for three consecutive years."

legal way to kill a wolf right now is if one was
attacking a human being..."
