3. Yes, I saw that

He just lies, and says oh well, I apologize, like he can just lie and get away with it.

I read about the throwing away of comments to. There is hope from that article, because it says they will reintroduce the bill.

4. The issue is getting some serious exposure

and that article is growing legs. This is good, there are several advocacy groups activated about it now. TWN gets a lot of traffic.

I live in the NRDPS area, we have been dealing with this kind of crazy for about 20 years now. The GL area used to be more accepting of their wildlife until these jackasses got into power.

Keep making a noise, it helps even when it doesn't seem like it does.

5. Sorry but what is NRDPS and GL? thanks

6. Sorry

NRDPS = Northern Rockies Distinct Population Segment (tri-state reintroduction area/Montana, Idaho and Wyoming) where wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone NP and Central Idaho's Frank Church Wilderness River of No Return. These wolves were classified as a distinct population segment since they were isolated from other populations and were also, in a compromise to the ranching community, given additional special classification of experimental, nonessential which was a big mistake. It seems we experienced the teabaggers way before they gave themselves a name regarding this issue.

GL = Great Lakes area. So used to using these representations with cohorts that I sometimes forget that not everybody is familiar with the jargon.
