Situation More Dire: Please Save Wolf Mountain Sanctuary


Situation More Dire: Please Save Wolf Mountain Sanctuary


Because problems with the San Bernadino County Land Use Code Enforcement Division, Wolf Mountain Sanctuary has been shut down can not have visitors come to see the wolves.

Because of this, Wolf Mountain Sanctuary has lost a large amount of the donations from visitors it needs to care for the wolves. The bill to feed all of the wolves runs about $6,000 a month alone! Now with this added on top of the lack of received donations and funds, how does the county expect the wolves to be fed and cared for, let alone pay the $8,000 to renew the license that the county wants!

Even though Wolf Mountain Sanctuary complied with all regulations and held an Exhibitor License since 1987, the County of San Bernardino will not allow the organization to continue its work until it files paperwork to receive a new Exhibitor License.

Wolf Mountain Sanctuary has only a couple of weeks left to raise the $8,000 to renew the exhibitor license. If Wolf Mountain Sanctuary can not raise the $8,000 it needs for the Exhibitor License, it could end up being closed forever and who knows what could end up becoming of the wolves living there if that happens!

I am asking anyone and everyone to please do what you can to help save Wolf Mountain Sanctuary. Please send whatever donation you can to help Wolf Mountain Sanctuary continue to care for the wolves and raise the $8,000 it needs for the license fees to keep going.

Wolf Mountain Sanctuary rescues wolves and cares for them in Southern California, as well as educates visitors about the plight of this threatened species. Wolf Mountain Sanctuary is too valuable to lose.

Please help save Wolf Mountain Sanctuary!

Dr. Death killing Deer in Hudson Again



Isn't this just lovely. This is the handywork of this monster, Anthony Denicola aka Dr. Death. Notice how he set them up according to size. These were taken at Vassar college where he killed right on the campus. Nice huh
Below is an article in the Beacon Journal, Ohio

Deer might need to keep head down in Hudson
Deemed as danger to community, council considers sharpshooters, feeding ban to thin herd

Published on Saturday, Jul 17, 2010
HUDSON: City officials are considering legislation that would ban the feeding of deer and hire sharpshooters to reduce a growing deer population in the city.
At a Tuesday workshop, City Council brought in White Buffalo Inc., a nonprofit wildlife management and research organization from Connecticut that has culled deer populations in Solon and other area communities.
The number of deer striking vehicles in Hudson has grown steadily in recent years, to more than 100 collisions last year, Hudson communications director Jody Roberts said.
''Obviously, that's a danger, and a lot of money in vehicle damage,'' Roberts said. '' . . . I think for council, the main concern is the safety of citizens.''
White Buffalo presented several ideas for managing the local deer population (SCARY) and council is expected to have a thorough discussion on all of them, Roberts said.
But many council members at the workshop expressed agreement that bringing in sharpshooters was the least expensive and most successful option.
''At this point, council is just in the preliminary investigation stage,'' Roberts said. The legislation is expected to have a first reading at council's July 28 meeting.
The ordinance would amend the city's firearms policy, which currently prohibits anyone other than safety personnel from discharging a gun in the city limits.
Another ordinance would ban the feeding of deer.
Roberts said there are a number of people with deer feeders in the city, serving to attract the animals.
The need to end deer feeding would also be important in getting the animals to feed at targeted ''bait'' areas where sharpshooters would be positioned.


This is absolutely a barbaric plan to control any Deer overpopulation problem,
Please we need to stand up to these monster bullies and stop this!

4th of July: Freedom of speech, and civil rights are limited


Post by Dominique
On this 4th of July weekend I am reminded that although I have freedom of speech, my civil rights are limited. There are forces in place that continue to protect Fish and Game Departments right to kill animals. Ultimately the NRA is very powerful and supports hunting. Top officials in the government are placed strategically to support government agencies to make their own rules at local levels for using Wildlife management to hunthttp://www.dfg.ca.gov/habcon/conplan/ . The California Fish and game's Department does not use any other methods to control wildlife other than killing. The California Department of Fish and Game is listed on the State government website under the tab of “recreation“ http://www.dfg.ca.gov/wildlife/hunting/ .

It is a holiday weekend, there are many campers out, enjoying the outdoors, and it is expected that they might come in contact with some of the wildlife, which is what has happened in the story below.

EL DORADO COUNTY, Calif. (CBS/AP) ―

Wardens have shot and killed a bear that attacked a camper in El Dorado County overnight outside of Pollock Pines in the Eldorado National Forest.

A spokeswoman for the California Department of Fish and Game says the black bear slashed the man's face after rummaging through his ice chest around 2 a.m. Friday at a campground near Union Valley Reservoir.

Spokeswoman Kirsten Macintyre says before slashing the man, the bear rushed the unidentified man and knocked him down.

Macintyre says the man, who was armed with a .45-caliber pistol, fired a shot at the bear when the animal rushed a second time. It is not clear if the bear was hit.
The man required 26 stitches after the attack.

The campground where the attack took place is in a remote area about 60 miles northeast of Sacramento.


There is a Bear Rescue within 20 miles of this incident that would have been able to take the Bear, if it were their policy to use a tranquilizer instead of a bullets and dogs. This is disgraceful. This bear could have taken this mans head off if he wanted to. He was looking for food, and came upon these campers accidentally. This situation should have been expected when humans enter their habitat. I am not in agreement of this type of wildlife management, but it seems that many people have been complacent to accept that if the government says it’s so, that’s the way it should be. Look at the way the media reports this with such drama and forgiveness for taking the life of this poor Bear, making the statement again and again how much more valuable humans are over animals http://www.cbs13.com/video/?id=74868@kovr.dayport.com I am hoping that soon, with some education people will stop being so arrogant and apathetic of these situations and realize that the Fish & Game Department, is nothing but a hunting club, and I am seriously questioning why our tax dollars go to subsidize a special interest group http://www.dfg.ca.gov/habcon/conplan/landacq/index.html .

I am looking forward to an update on Jan Haagensens case and awaiting a precedent to change the hunter harassment law that she became a victim of. http://biteclubkc.wordpress.com/2009/08/23/help-overturn-unconstitutional-hunter-harassment-law/ In the meantime I will be searching for answers and suggestions from fellow ARA’s on the best way to proceed legally to Fish and Games structure and implement Peter Muller’s plan of projected increased revenue for states that implement Wildlife watching instead of wildlife killing, the time has come, please get involved and help, http://www.all-creatures.org/cash/campaigns.html.
