I can understand hunting to protect person and property but only if it is a threat. Not before it is a theat.
How I can do someting
I have gotten a couple of e-mails asking me what individuals can do about the situation that wolves are in. In response to that, I have been coming up with a pretty generic list of things any one can do to help wolves and wildlife in general.
1. Learn as much as you can about the situation. It is important to learn the facts. Do a little research. Read about all sides of the story. We can learn much from those we don't agree with. 2. Talk to people about what you are passionate about in a respectful knowledgeable manner. If you have learned an interesting fact about wolves, bring it up with your friends or family. Talking about it makes others aware. 3. You might choose to find an organization to support. Make sure that you read up on the organization first. Make sure you agree with what they are saying and doing. I am not going to list any organizations here because each individual needs to do the research and determine which organizations they can stand behind. 4. Do things to limit your impact on the environment. Even if you don't live in an area where wolves live, do the things that protect the environment. Recycle, reduce your waste, walk if you can, turn off the lights when you leave a room. Even the little things. One of the nice things about doing these things is that if someone asks you why, you could explain that you are passionate about protecting wolves and every little bit helps. 5. Volunteer. There may not be wolves or a wolf sanctuary near by that you could volunteer at, but find other places to volunteer. Maybe there is a park clean up in your neighborhood you could help at or a nature center. 6. Include a tag phrase in your signature for other forums and e-mails that makes people want to ask you more about it. 7. Make a web site that educates people about wolves and makes people aware.
Here are a couple of web sites I recently ran across that discuss teen activism. I have not looked thoroughly through them, but they seem like nice sites. www.dosomething.org www.youthnoise.com www.idealist.org www.genv.net
Again, please learn about the whole situation before being too much of an activist. You want to get your facts straight and be credible.
