Where are you getting the idea they donated money for reintroduction? Was it written somewhere? Or was it an assumption by the guys down at the bar? The only thing the elk foundation ever paid for was research on wolves. If you want Congress to act, they are not going to jump when the "good 'ol boys" tell them to, they want to see some pencil-pushing biologist and all his research tell them they need to act. I don't agree with this, it is just a fact of life. They should be listening to the hunters and houndsmen who are spending 10x more time in the woods than any biologist. MT FWP has a place on their website to report wolf sightings, kills, etc. How many actually take the time to log on and tell them? More people need to get off their own ass and inundate them with concerns, not just go over to their buddy's house and p!$$ and moan about it. Granted they are a bunch of secrective dorks about wolves but there are ways around that, it called FOIA, Freedom of Information Act, if they have the info on their computer at work, you are privy to it.
And by actively taking a stance against wolves, you want them to put political pressure on our state leaders? Articles in Bugle against them? Do you want to see money put toward something? I am serious, you tell me exactly what it would take for you to join the RMEF.
