Before shooting those cute creatures, let’s feed PETA liberals to them first.
Damn I love it when States start to take action in defiance of Federal Rules... It’s about time that they stand up to silly and stupid laws made by the Federal Government.
Go 10th amendment activists and others, common sense seems to be lacking in Washington...
Yeah!!!
The DNR protects wolves in WI. Only one question: What do wolves contribute to the human race?
But, But, But I’m a judge, a federal judge, you can’t defy me sez the judge. You’re only a governor.
I want to point something out to people here on FR:
Montana’s governor is a Democrat.
The other governor who has taken on the Feds over wolves was a Democrat, Dave Freudenthal, former governor of Wyoming. Freudenthal sued the Feds and then set up a hunting season and plan for wolves in Wyoming. Over two dozen wolves were shot the first week Freudenthal’s hunting plan was open. The Feds then sued to stop it, and Wyoming and the Feds are still in court.
Republican governors talk a nice game on this issue, but they don’t back up their words with actions. Butch Otter wimped out on the issue last fall, tossing the ball back at the feds and saying “Golly, I tried...”
If Republicans want to be seen as the party that is going to lead on issues that make a difference to the bottom line of real business (instead of merely carrying water for Wall Street and multi-national corporations), the GOP should get their head out of their plush posteriors on these kinds of issues and show some leadership.
I remember seeing Kristen Stewart, the girl from Twilight, on Letterman, and she was talking about how these evil people ride around in helicopters and just pop innocent wolves.
And then Dave said basically: it’s not so messed up when the wolves keep killing your livestock.
California libscum led the way with states defying federal law, for example re immigration and drugs (pot).
Isn’t the irony delicious?
Idaho nullifying Obamacare and now Montana taking control of the predator wolves that are decimating deer, elk, moose, cow and sheep in their state.
Western Governors with cohones and the Will of the People to back them.
Another heads up. Now it’s Montana poking the federales in the eye. Heh,heh...
Good for Gov. Schweitzer!
Had it not been for enviro nazis and federal judge Molloy siding with them the wolves in MT and ID would not be on the ESL.
Wolves are decimating elk populations and becoming more of a hazard to livestock, they need thinning.
“Defying federal authority over gray wolves”
On what basis do the feds regulate this? Do wolves engage in commerce across state lines? How much is it to buy rabbit skin off a gray wolf? 1.5 deer livers?
Hell yes! This is anther classic example of Eastern/Urban disconnect with serous Western/Rural problems.
Urban liberals see the wolfs some “special” endangered species threaten by man. Rural westerns who actually live with the wolfs see the wolfs more realistically as a threat to themselves, their children, and their livelihood.
But still Eastern/urban Liberals are determined to Butt in from more then a 1000 miles away as if they know best. In the end they just end up hurting people out here.
I salute Montana for finally having the moral fortitude to stand up to this unfair and destructive madness.
This is a part of farming reality - no wonder the federal politicians are clueless.
Is this rat governor up for reelection?
I’m no fan of Schweitzer but I am glad he feels that way about the wolves. You probably won’t believe me when I say that a few weeks ago there was a pack in my small Montana town chasing down a deer...in town...in the neighbor’s yard. I fully expect to see packs roaming our small town soon.
Brother, so have I. Thus, the tagline.
More Governors need to stand up to the Fed... Especially the EPA.
TT
Amen!
