I am pissed. Just so freaking sick of the relentless onslaught of cruelty perpetrated by elected Republicans at anything and everyone. Now I saw on www.thedodo.com they are also bringing their toxic brand of cruelty, pain and misery to American wildlife as well.
First off, what kind of piece of shit person do you have to be to kill bears and wolves (along with other animals) for sport and pleasure? They want to allow people on federal lands to hunt and track the last of the remaining endangered wildlife with high powered rifles, insidious traps (that are indiscriminate in what they trap and torture), shoot from helicopters, kill from ATVs and snow mobiles. And now, thanks to the GOP House vote today, these assholes can go into the dens of hibernating mother bears and mother wolves — and their babies — and shoot and trap them all.
WHAT. THE. F*CK.
I am serious. Really, what kind of piece of shit, heartless, soulless person gets their thrills killing sleeping mothers and their babies — even if they are “just animals”.
House lawmakers on Thursday advanced a measure to repeal an Obama-era rule that largely banned the hunting of bears, wolves and other predators on more than 76 million acres of national wildlife refuge land in Alaska.
The Republican-sponsored legislation would undo the Alaska National Wildlife Refuges Rule, ultimately opening the door for the state to resume aggressive predator control tactics, including shooting bears and wolves from airplanes and killing cubs and pups in their dens.
The House of Representatives passed the resolution by a 225-193 vote, mostly along party lines, sending it to the Senate for possible consideration.
We have to put pressure on the Senate to stop this. I held my nose and called my two Georgia GOP Senators’ offices. And complained politely but passionately — for this cause and several others. For Isakson I left a voicemail. For Perdue, I talked to a staffer, who was very polite, looked up the number of the bill and seemed to take down my complaints.

I also said Trump scares the hell out of me. That he is unhinged and dangerous. I want the Republicans to investigate what is going on with Flynn and Russia, that I was utterly disappointed in them supporting these immigration bans and rounding up undocumented people. I gave them a piece of my mind.
I am sick of it. We all have to speak up. Fight back. Tell them no! And then tell them NO AGAIN tomorrow.
I get that this is yet another issue, and probably not as important to a lot of people that are justifiably overwhelmed by everything else this radical right wing administration is doing to our great country.
But for me, there is something beautiful and pure about wildlife. There is something spiritual and amazing in wild animals, often personified in our beloved iconic apex predators. We all stand to lose them if Republicans who have lost their humanity have their way unchecked.
I will never understand how “conservatives” don’t wish to conserve much of anything. They just want to kill, control and destroy everything.
We must speak up and say NO to this despicable vote of the relentless onslaught of Republican insanity.
