In a 5 year period, 250 wolves will attack and savagely slaughter over 7000 head of livestock and game animals.

The cost to New Mexico and the US economy for the Mexican Gray Wolf Program will be well over $60,000,000 in the next five years.

CAN OUR COUNTRY AFFORD THIS INSANE PROGRAM IN THESE PERILOUS TIMES?

Americans for the Preservation of Western Environment? How about restore it to the state it was before people moved out there and raped the land - and then preserve it? The wolves and other animals were there before farmers and ranchers moved in... So why don't YOU move the fuck out and give the land back to animals that have lived there a lot longer than you? People like the
members of your organization make me sick.

If there is a God above, one day you will be out on your farm and will be surrounded by dozens of wolves - and ripped apart. As I don't believe wolves are shit eaters, they would leave your carcass for the vultures to feast upon. If you manage to exterminate all of the wolves, I hope that a nice rattlesnake sinks his venomous fangs into your calf... and you die a painful death. You are nothing more than wolve [sic] murdering garbage - all so your cattle, juiced up on steroids, can graze - and be slaughtered and sold to unsuspecting people... Ever wonder why Americans are getting fatter? Ever wonder why Americans are starting puberty earlier? Its because ignorant, irresponsible, criminal cattle ranchers continue to pump hormones and steroids into cattle -- so they can make more money.

May you and your family rot in hell, where you belong.

Dear Mr. Random:

Re: your first paragraph:

1) Are you aware that "Mexican gray wolves" aren't native to the "recovery" area? The original Mexican wolves were trapped in Mexico, then force-bred in captivity in Arizona as well as in zoos around the USA. Then they were released in an area where a totally different gray wolf used to roam (Mogollon wolf). Not only are the wolves you're so upset about not native, but how do you think they feel after being raised behind bars in New York, for example, then turned loose somewhere they've never been before and even their ancestors never lived? My point is that Mexican gray wolves are no more native than any of us who live here today are. I, for one, have lived here longer than the Mexican wolves have. Almost all the farmers and ranchers have, too.

Re: your second paragraph

1) If there is a God above I surely would not wish harm on another in His name. What does it say about you that you would do so?

2) Are you one of those uneducated people who believes that food comes from grocery stores, rather than grown in and on the ground? What did you have for breakfast? If it didn't come from a farmer or rancher, then it came from a factory farm, which is an infinite number of times more polluting as well as extraordinarily cruel to the animals involved. Cattle on steroids and hormones? Oh please. Check your facts! The whole point of raising cattle on grass is to avoid having to give those kinds of drugs. Why would a rancher want to add to his overhead by giving steroids and hormones when they fatten up so nicely on grass alone? You know, if Americans stopped eating food that comes from feedlots and factories, that would probably take care of the early puberty issue. Don’t blame the obesity and early puberty problems on farmers and ranchers that raise their animals in a healthy environment!

As for Mr. Random's last sentence, there's no point in bothering to reply. How unhappy he must be to have that kind of ignorance and anger inside.
