…”but the virus would keep coming back year after year, popping out of its remote hiding places. And in the end, the only hope for eliminating human disease would rest with the invention of an effective vaccine and mass, routine vaccination of hundreds of millions of people across the Western Hemisphere.”
…and the life expectancy of mosquitoes is…?
Threats Against IFW Employees Enough to Hire L.E. Protection?
October 13, 2014 by 2 Comments
It appears as though some employees of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW), in particular those who have been in the forefront of addressing facts about bear management, have been receiving “troubling correspondence.” While details remain sketchy, one can only conclude that the threats are coming from those who support totalitarian socialistic governance, via gang warfare.
The sad part of this event is that public meetings, along with private ones, have been cancelled due to the threats which claims victory for the sad excuse for human beings that resort to such caveman tactics.
It is quite ironic that these morons probably also support the Humane Society of the United States’ lawsuit and demand for emergency injunction to stop MDIFW from using department resources to tell the truth about Maine’s bear management needs and the 40-year bear study they have been administering. And yet, because of this action, even more resources are having to be used to protect these people from the knuckle draggers who are sending “troubling correspondence.”
A bit more information on this event can be found here and here.

America’s Top 10 Threats to Trapping
August 22, 2012 by Leave a Comment
There are many forces in America working to end trapping and wise wildlife management. Here are a few of those anti-trapping groups:
1. Sierra Club—this group’s board of directors has let America know it opposes any and all trapping—period. The official Sierra Club statement reads: “The Sierra Club considers body-gripping, restraining and killing traps and snares to be ecologically indiscriminate and unnecessarily inhumane and therefore opposes their use.” This position earns this group a No. 1 spot.
2. PETA—best known for being wackos, this group opposes fur, trapping and anything non-vegan. PETA also wanted to “trap” and euthanize problem hogs in Florida to prevent them from being hunted.
3. Humane Society of the United States—this radical animal rights group lists trapping as wildlife abuse. This group is currently being sued for violation of federal racketeering laws.
4. American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (alias ASPCA)—states openly on its website that “The ASPCA is against the use of leg-hold or body gripping traps to capture wild animals because of the pain and distress that they cause.” The group also opposes hunting.
5. Defenders of Wildlife—this group opposes wolf hunting and trapping, and launched an aggressive on-line campaign to skew an Idaho wolf trapping survey in its favor. DOW reported it had 39,000 followers overwhelm the Idaho Game and Fish Commission’s website.
6. Born Free USA—this radical animal rights group labels trapping as “barbaric” and has a trapping victims fund to help cover veterinarian costs for animals—including wildlife—caught in traps. It distributes a free “How to Organize an Anti-Trapping Campaign” booklet through its Animal Protection Institute group.
7. In Defense of Animals—opposes trapping and has created a “furkills” website to promote the group’s propaganda—and to collect funds. The group also encourages followers to create a display in their local public library to display leaflets, posters, and books about the cruelty involved in trapping or leg-hold traps.
8. Animal Welfare Institute: Opposes trapping and is pushing the Refuge from Cruel Trapping Act in Congress to end trapping on national wildlife refuges. Filed a lawsuit in 2008 to stop coyote and fox trapping in Maine under the guise of protecting Canada lynx.
9. Center for Biological Diversity: has campaigns underway to stop wolf trapping and hunting in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho, and another in New Mexico to save Mexican gray wolves. Some of the group’s “urgent letters of action” also includes requests for donations to end trapping.
10. Footloose Montana—works to oppose wolf trapping and the management of these large predators in Montana while other wildlife species, like elk, dwindle in numbers at the hands, or paws, of wolves. Also works to end trapping on public lands.
Trapping plays an important role in sound wildlife management practices and helps numerous wildlife species, including song birds and waterfowl populations. As you can tell, trappers and hunters need to work together to overcome these radical forces.
