Release the wolves!
Alaska's Rep. Don Young wants to take gray wolves off the endangered species list. Upset with a letter 79 congressmen wrote to protect the wolves, he went on a bizarre rant. From
The Washington Post:
“How many of you have got wolves in your district?” he asked. “None. None. Not one.”
“They haven’t got a damn wolf in their whole district,” Young continued. “I’d like to introduce them in your district. If I introduced them in your district, you wouldn’t have a homeless problem anymore.”
Watch his bizarre rant here:
Mmmkay. He has a point–wolves are dangerous and not something most of us have to deal with in our own backyards, but this was still a poor way to make his case. And, for what it's worth, it is legal to hunt wolves throughout much of the year in Alaska.
