After moving through the house, the Pet & Livestock Protection Act is now heading to the US Senate. If passed, grey wolves will lose their Endangered Species Act Protections and will be managed by individual states. We've already seen how this goes. They will undoubtedly eradicate wolves entirely and push the species to complete extinction if we do not speak out against this blatantly cruel bill that favours livestock farmers and targets wildlife. I've spoken in depth about this before, but when we eradicate predatory species, prey species become abundant which then poses an entirely new set of problems. Without predatory species, prey species will become abundant which will have severe effects on their ecosystem. With no predators, herbivores will over populate nature areas which leads to the destruction of native plants / trees. What will our solution be then you ask? Naturally, we will then authorize the culling of prey species but this will only be temporary because we've seen that this method does not offer long-lasting solutions. Prey species become abundant again and again which means humans are in constant manipulation of the environment / animal kingdom. Killing all the wolves instead of spending money to properly reinforce livestock enclosures is nothing short of cruelty. You want to protect your precious livestock and yet you leave them completely susceptible to predation by wolves that are well known to inhabit these spaces. Killing them all is the easy way out, but no one is contemplating the long term effects and consistent management that will require when all of the herbivores start to overpopulate. If livestock farmers are so concerned, why is there no money being funneled into reinforcing enclosures, electric fences, and other predatory deterrents? The reason is that this government hates animals, has no compassion, and hasn't properly thought out what this would mean for an entire species' survival. This government is shameful in their approach to wildlife management and has proven time and time again that they couldn't care less about the environment or animals on this planet. Please, if you're in the United States, make your voice heard and oppose this blatantly cruel bill that will only create a plethora of new problems that have to be managed instead of addressing the short-comings of livestock farmers and the enclosures that keep their "precious" livestock contained. If this government has their way, there will be no more mountain lions, wolves, coyotes, bears, or anything else for that matter.
