Obamas 1st interview.

And again what speicies has over populated this planet to the point to of ruin. What species has exploited every natural resource available? What species is the only species that is known to pollute their own environment? What species kills for pleasure! Humans again. We're expendable! Teach your kids to look a out for predators like we have for the past million or so years. More kids kill each other a day than wolves have killed in the last 100 years. Give the wolves a break, quite breeding!

Here's a few statistics:

Forest Service reported figures on the wildlife hazards afield. Topping the list of animal-caused human deaths were deer, racking up 131 for the year. Except in movies, sharks took only one human, bees 43, and rattlesnakes ten. Better watch out for Bambi he's the real threat!

- You are more likely to be killed by a coconut falling on your head than by a shark (therefore we absolutely oppose the introduction of coconut trees to Montana!)
- From 1989-94 there were 109 fatal dog attacks in the U.S.
- Children crushed to death by televisions since 1990: 2
- An average of 100 people per year choke to death on ballpoint pens.


In the next year:
- You have a 1 in 2 million chance of dying from falling out of bed.
- You have a 1 in 2 million chance of being killed by an animal.

Lifetime risks:

1 in 3 chance that you'll die of heart disease.
1 in 5 chance that you'll die of cancer.
1 in 45 chance that you'll die in an auto accident.
1 in 72 chance that you'll deliberately kill yourself.
1 in 700,000 chance that you'll be killed by a dog.


So if society deems wolves expendable due to the threat they pose to human safety, it only stands to reason that ballpoint pens, televisions, cars, and dogs should be eliminated also.

you sound like a greeny. maybe they just need to shot you. Way to many of you guys out here now too.

Hey! No Threats !! IT aint needed to get your point across whether you agree or not. An you don't have to be a greeny to like animals.

Who supported the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act legislation


Contrary to claims by many gun enthusiasts, the Violent Crime
Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 enactment was the result of a
widescale bipartisan effort in Congress. H.R. 3355 passed with almost
unanimous support from both sides of the aisle. The bill in the House
of Representatives was put up for a voice vote and approval was such
that no individual votes were tallied, but majority support was
obvious. In the Senate, only four senators voted against the Violent
Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, two democrats and two
republicans.

This is what you get when a person knows they've lost the debate and don't have a logical intelligent rebuttal!

Yes, I am an Enviromental Scientist/Biologist!! I am also a hunter, sportsman, fisherman, and yes, I do eat meat. If God didn't want us too eat them why'd he make animals taste so good!
