@slotkin.senate.gov As a constituent in Berkley, MI, I urge you to vote no on the unscientific Pet and Livestock Protection Act. I’m pro-wolf, and I vote. Thank you.

Michigan MAGA in 2020 upset about COVID restrictions. Let’s hope they’re right.

See the Study & Join Team Wolf

A new peer-reviewed study confirms what we’ve long known: killing wolves isn’t the best way to protect livestockβ€”nonlethal tools are more than twice as effective.

But USDA still spends <1% of its $286M budget on nonlethal.

It’s time to fund what works. app.sosha.ai/s/7Wfkx2D3

Opinion | Nesvik’s record of wildlife failure in Wyoming shows he’s wrong for federal job Former Game and Fish Director Brian Nesvik would bring his record of sick big game herds, persecution of carnivores and degraded public lands to the national stage, guest columnist Kelsey Yarzab Yates...

Trump’s nominee for USFWS, Brian Nesvik, was called out for his track record with wildlife. As Dir. of WY Game & Fish, Nesvik oversaw policies that led to disease outbreaks, brutal treatment of wolves, & the degradation of public lands.

The genocide committed by Netanyahu and his regime constitutes war crimes and crimes against humanity. Nothing justifies such cruelty, and those excusing it are complicit and dangerously pathological for humankind.

The pink protest at Trump’s speech shows the Democrats aren’t coming to save us The general reaction is that this was yet another stunning example of how spineless and performative the Democrats are

Sometimes I read about witches, sometimes about wolves.

But never Jesus, as I prefer nonfiction.

I reposted on FB and got this comment: β€œUmm, I'm no fan of Marjorie Taylor Greene, but can we maybe avoid the misogynist insults? Call her a jerk, call her a rabble rouser, call her an incompetent asshole. But not the anti-feminist slut shaming, please.” Not sure how to respond, if at all.

This is Bear. I rescued him in a parking lot last August. He’s six months old and pretty much a pain in the ass (but in the good, kitten way).

Republican members of CO's Congressional Delegation are calling to end the state’s wolf reintroduction & arguing to remove Gray Wolves from the ESA.

The lawmakers cite ranchers concerns over livestock predation despite continued resistance to nonlethal conflict reduction.
