Boycott Beef. Stop Rancher's War On Wolves With A bonus Of A Healthier Diet.

Boycott beef. Ranchers are a primary impetus in the war against wolves and other wildlife. Beef is an unhealthy diet for people and damaging to the environment. Beef also provides vastly less nutrients than it takes to raise. Wolves, bears, and other animals are targeted largely because they allegedly interfere with ranchers unrestricted control and use of the environment (often public land) for their cattle to run roughshod over and decimate as they graze, destroying the biodiversity needed for a healthy ecosystem. Ranchers even sometimes purposefully graze their cattle near wolf dens, so they can kill the wolves including pups when they are lured to kill or threaten a cow or calf. Killing wolves after a cattle attack is no more right than killing ranchers for their repeated attacks on wolves. 
We should also boycott those states which are participating in the killing of wolves and other wildlife and work to vote out of office the members of congress and other politicians who voted for this atrocity, and who vote against wolves and other wildlife. Killing a wolf throws the pack into turmoil and actually usually leads to more livestock attacks rather than less. 
Additionally, wolves don’t wipe out elk and other species. They take the weak and injured and strengthen the herd. They don’t slaughter the healthiest specimens. Hunters however do just that - killing “trophy animals” - by doing so, weaken the gene pool. As was demonstrated in Yellowstone, the reintroduction of wolves, a crucial keystone species, brought the ecosystem there back from the brink of human caused collapse. Native Americans realized they were part of nature and respected the environment and all animals. Then we white men came, thought we were separate from and decided to conquer nature and ruined everything. I ask you who were and are the more civilized? 
The only humane way to shoot wildlife is with a camera. A humane “trophy hunter” only collects a picture. The worth of a person can be judged by how one treats animals. An evil person is cruel to, abuses, or kills animals. A good person cares for and respects animals. As Mohandas K. Gandhi once said, "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."
