Welcome...
The biggest threat to hunting today are self-proclaimed "environmental" organizations such as the Defenders of Wildlife...the Center for Biological Diversity...the Sierra Club...and dozens of others who now want to control our outdoor resources - and not one of them has ever spent a real dime on honest wildlife conservation.
Instead, these groups invest in one thing, and that is to keep wildlife, conservation and environmental issues tied up in court. They don't do it for their love of wildlife or the environment...they do it because it is profitable. The
Equal Access To Justice Act and the Judgement Fund has allowed them to receive
hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars annually in reimbursement for their legal expenses. During one 6-year period, these organizations filed more than 1,500 "environmental" lawsuits...and our Department of Justice dolled out a whopping
$4.7 BILLION dollars in such reimbursement.
Those organizations are using YOUR tax dollars to put an end to your right to enjoy hunting.
At the top of their priority list is to allow the continued spread of the Canadian MacKenzie Valley Gray Wolf, (Canis lupus occidentalis -a subspecies that never existed in the lower 48) in the Northern Rockies OR the Upper Midwest. These apex predators are the largest AND MOST AGGRESSIVE subspecies of Gray Wolf in North America and have already destroyed big game populations in many areas and are making a serious impact on elk, deer, moose and all other big game animals throughout their ranges.
The goal of Lobo Watch is to raise money to fight the continued spread of this alien subspecies of gray wolf and to build a large electronic network of sportsmen and women. Immediate goals are to fund ($20K)a genetics comparison of the introduced MacKenzie Valley Gray Wolf (
Canis lupus occidentallis) and the original Rocky Mountain timber wolf (
Canis Lupus Irremotus) and to fund a study of the economic impact ($21K / per state) of the MacKenzie Valley Gray Wolf in the states of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. The results of these two studies will have a significant impact on future challenges to the legality of the introduction of MacKenzie Valley Gray Wolf .
As we build an electronic network of interested people it will become easier to keep everyone informed of current issues and to coordinate action where and when it is needed. This action may be sending emails to politicians to voice your opinions, attending public hearings on important issues or attending rallies.
LOBO WATCH is fast becoming the voice of concerned sportsmen who see the introduction of the wolf and expanded ranges of other primary predators for what it really is, the Greatest Ecological Disaster of our lifetimes...and left unchecked, there soon won't be enough game left to hunt. And the anti-hunting environmental groups and organizations will have won.
Don't let that happen, join us in this fight. There's strength in unity.
