A couple of dozen men from the anti-wolf brigade were gathered by noon on East Broadway outside the Russell Smith Federal Courthouse, where U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy is hearing details of a recent settlement hammered out between the Obama administration and 10 conservation groups.

The hearing began at 1:30 p.m.

"We'll be here all afternoon until it's over," said Toby Bridges of Missoula, who organized the rally through Lobo Watch and expected dozens more to join in as the day went on.

Some were in Helena in the morning for a hearing on Senate Bill 414, the Montana Wolf Control Act.

all wildlife should be managed by state governments

[Blood of Tyrants]

Shoot. Shovel. Shut up. Repeat as necessary.

Absolutely right. The feds don't know or care for the most part and allow enviro and animal rights nazis to carry on lawsuits for years.

They carried and displayed signs that said "Destroyers of Wildlife," "Impeach Molloy" and "Zero Tolerance: No Canadian Wolves."

Have to agree with them!

Anybody ever considered trapping five or six of the fricking monsters and dumping them through some libtard ecowonk’s front window or turning them loose in Central Park?

[GladesGuru]

Montana is on the right track to lead the states in bringing the Feddies under control of the citizens.

Long overdue, IMHO.

Here are a few signs

Gut shoot them and they’ll slink off into the woods and die.

[Big Horn]

Have a season on them. They are killing the elk herd.

[GladesGuru]

“Gut shoot them and they’ll slink off into the woods and die.”

If the wolf is in a pack and they are hungry, when the shot wolf weakens, the pack’s next dinner is served!

[B4Ranch]

That’s true.

[rahbert]

why were the wolves outside the meeting?

[Seadog Bytes]

Maybe if everyone there picked up a few of these (Irish Wolf Hounds)...

"What those wolves were doing outside a Missoula meeting, I'll never know........"

[Alas Babylon!]

What beautiful dogs. But... How long do they live, on average? I’d hate to fall in love with one of these big boys only to see it up and die before my eyes! I still remember every dog I’ve had and miss them all.

And how much Gravy Train will they go thru in a week?

Supporting predator control does not make someone 'anti-wolf'. I know plenty of people who actively trap wolves, in addition to predator & aerial hunting, and have not met one person who truly believes they should be taken to (or near) extinction. That includes me, unsuccessfully thus far & minus the aerial hunting part as I haven't had the opportunity yet :-)

[george76]

The liberal Journ-0-lists again showing their bias

(...Surprised you didn't ask about the amount of 'yard cleanup' necessary... LOL)

The answer is, uh, complicated:
