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."

'Five years ago, it was five or six farms.' ...'If you have a poodle outside your house and a wolf comes up and is going to kill him, what are you going to do? Are you going to stand there and watch? Or if the gun is in the closet are going to get it and shoot?' the farmer asked....The only legal way to kill a wolf right now is if one was attacking a human being..."
