Howling For Wolves President and Founder Dr. Maureen Hackett was recently highlighted in the article, “Do We Need Wolves?” in the March, 10 edition of In These Times magazine.
The article explores the history of wolves in the United States – how their population dwindled, and then increased, and what past and current challenges they face. Author John Collins particularly explains the many ways wolves are vital to our ecology – citing Yellowstone National Park’s revitalization after they reintroduced wolves as a case study. Collins also addresses myths about wolves – such as how they actually have a net positive and not net negative as widely believed by hunters, when it comes to deer populations.
Dr. Hackett is quoted in the article explaining support for the use of non-lethal and scientific wolf management practices. She also provides information about state wolf management and the unfortunate negative attitude towards wolves.

Quote: “Dr. Hackett is quoted in the article explaining support for the use of non-lethal and scientific wolf management practices.”
This statement is a perfect example of Humanism: myopic, arrogant and self-centered. Why does the wolf or any other native wild animal need “management.”? What they “need” is hunting and livestock grazing abolished, starting with public lands. They need protection and preservation of their kind, and their habitat, not some artificially created Humanist jargon and policy which only reinforces “human superiority and dominance.”

Wolves evolved over millions of years, like the rest of the creatures we share this earth with, and they have their place in the ecosystem. What we do NOT need are arrogant, thoughtless, and greedy human beings who decide what animals are useful to them (usually resulting in a death sentence anyway), which animals are trash and do not deserve their habitat or their lives, and which are enemies that deserve to be trapped, snared, and hunted out of our way.
