Not to mention the thousands of cows (and probably a few wolves) killed by fires over the past few years in Washington…

Here we go again, a wolf supposedly killed a cow in Washington state, on federal land and it makes headlines but what the media never reports on is how well-behaved wolves are and what a non threat they are to ranching or farming.
In 2010, 51,200 cows died in Oregon from non-predation causes. (NASS 2010). That’s right, FIFTY ONE THOUSAND! This should be front page news, right? When wolves are involved in miniscule livestock losses they make the front pages of local media. So what about those 51,200 cows that weren’t killed by wolves? Where are the headlines?

I’m sorry but the answer to many of these ecological problems is not just “going Vegan.” as it will take a massive, organized protest by people who care about wild animals, to declare war on the ranchers, politically, as well as economically. It will not be easy, but there simply is to much at stake. Wild animals need their habitat back–now.
