In 1893, a bounty hunter named Ernest Thompson Seton journeyed to the untamed canyons of New Mexico on a mission to kill a dangerous outlaw. Feared by ranchers throughout the region, the outlaw wasn’t a pistol-packing cowboy or train-robbing bandit. The outlaw was a wolf. Lobo, as locals simply called him, was the legendary leader of a band of cattle-killing wolves that had been terrorizing cattle ranchers and their livestock. It was up to Seton to exterminate this “super-wolf.” The ensuing battle of wits between wolf and man would spark a real-life wilderness drama, the outcome of which would leave a lasting effect on a new and growing movement in America: wilderness preservation.

Good submit. Incredibly refreshing provided all of the duplicate articles out there. Many thanks for doing some thing original.
But sadly Obama put his faith in Ivy League college degrees with East Coast connection-s and gave them the Treasury, despite the fact that Geithner was publicly outed as a tax cheat himself. Obama is more naive than I had expected. And with less a learning curve. Or is equally “guilty” of working with Republican-s to kill America. Not sure which. But very disappoint-ed. personal essay,essay writing,leadership essay
Have seen this film on swiss tv the last weekend and was very moved. The “love” between Lobo and Blanca was so beautiful to see and then human nature comes and destroys everything. Kills the wolves… Fortunately Mr. Seton learned about this – but too many people don’t. Think about people killing Delphins, Wales, Seal babies, bears in Asia etc. etc. WHO are we to decide about to live or die ? It’s all about the money…(then one forgetts about sympathy and humanity)
A wonderful story yet sad. Wolves are so very intelligent and help our ecosytem and the wild environment. So many things man does not understand which is so very sad. My Indian ancestors seen the wolf as sacred. A true hunter and understanding of mother earth which they wanted to see in themselves. The true bond between man and wolf was special. They walked along one another with a true understanding of how beautiful yet strong and keen they are. I hope and pray our government can see past the farm industry and those who are fighting to extinct such a beautiful animal one of God’s many creations. In the bible it states what animals man is to eat and what animals we are not to eat. A animal which eats grain or plant life is for us to feast on. Those animals that eat plant life and other wild meat, we are not to partake in and is a sin and judgment will be cast. We are human for which we do not understand. This is true. That being said, we too have morals and it is not morally right to slaughter such an animal. I pray things change. I pray it takes one or two to see the true meaning of the wold and find other means to work with the farmers to better secure thier livestock. Its a chance you take for farming. It is the wilds way of life and they should not be tortured for thier ways of life. RIP Blanca and Lobo and all the ones who have been lost.
I cried inwardly….after reading the commentary of people who watched this and allowed their emotions to be manipulated and twisted against cold, hard, reality. I love wolves, they are beautiful and noble creatures. They are
also predators, dangerous and destructive when left unchecked. I do not claim to be an expert. I am only a person
who has done their research and is beginning to realize what is really going on. The wolves that now roam in Yellowstone and surrounding areas are devastating big game populations by killing newborn elk and deer and severely maiming adult animals. They maim livestock and other domesticated animals to the point that they have to be put down. Show me a photo of loving wolves and I’ll show you a photos of half-eaten hunting dogs. Show me a photo of a mother and pups and I’ll show you a photo of a pregnant female elk, where wolves have torn out the fetus and left the rest of the animal to rot. And I’ll show you a moose, with its face nearly torn off, still alive, and cattle with horrific wounds on their hindquarters. Our government is TRAMPLING over the ranching industry to guard a destructive predator, and only now are people living in the West fighting to protect their property and livelihood. I urge you to just once look through the eyes of the rancher and hunter, back away from environmentalist, pro-wolf information, and see what the real impact of wolves is.
Genesis 1:28 “And God blessed them; and He said to them, ” Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
God has given us a command to have dominion over the earth and its resources, meaning we are to use and manage what He has given us wisely, WOLVES INCLUDED. What is being promoted here is worship of mother earth and exalting it far above what God considers to be most precious, humans, created in His image.
Romans 1:20-25 ” For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator , who is blessed forever. Amen.

I always loved wolves (who were really scary) when I was a kid, even though the last one had been killed off at least 50 years before. So Ernest Seton’s story is moving and inspiring – a founder of the Boy Scouts and the movement to protect our National treasures in Parks.
I work to reverse the population pressure which has threatened so many other species, and if unchecked will continue to encroach on wild habitat throughout our country and the world.

Are we going to use Biblical scripture to justify wolf killing (or extinction as many would want)? Pure Deception? Where to begin….God hated man so He decided to KILL off mankind, except for those in the Ark. Hum….Sounds kinda radical to me. After the flood, this was said by God, as written in Genesis:
Genesis 8:17. “Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you, birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the land, that they may breed abundantly in the land, and be fruitful and multiply in the land.”
Is that plain enough?
Here is another good one…Job 12:7-10.
“But ask the animals, and they will teach you,
or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you;
or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,
or let the fish in the sea inform you.
Which of all these does not know
that the hand of the Lord has done this?
In his hand is the life of every creature
and the breath of all mankind.
We could go round and round, and on and on. Its best for people to use their own brain and common sense to sort things out as God would have them do! Let’s make room for the wolves!
