Interesting discussion going on in the wolf post comments, with several people who know more than I do holding forth instructively — and one person who knows remarkably less than I do as well. It’s funny: as that commenter, “K,” was accusing me of being unfair to the ten groups settling, I had just seen a YouTube video, since taken down, that intercut the names of the groups who’d settled with photos of wolves, each photo in turn being shot with holes and/or drenched in red. I thought that a post like mine is the last thing Gang Green’s partisans should worry about. These groups have stomped on a PR blowback landmine.

Apropos of that, I’ve heard that at least one of the groups holding firm in the Wolf delisting lawsuit has gotten a few extra donations as a result. Good idea. These are wonderful groups and deserve your support. If you’ve donated to some of the big groups to support their wolf work — and consequently, without having any say in the matter, helped fund their betrayal of the wolves, and of your trust — here’s a chance to undo that damage.
