Don't get me started on the wolf issue. I was in Yellowstone in February, in the Lamar Valley, and heard nothing but stories of entire packs eliminated that left me furious. Meanwhile, just this week our dipshit senator from Montana and a dipshit senator from Idaho wrote an oped about how successful these two reactionary states have been when it comes to wolf recovery. It's an outrage. I intend to write about wolves in the near future myself.

As for rewilding, are you familiar with the American Prairie Reserve? I just met with those folks a couple weeks ago and we will be doing stuff together. I'm a fan of their mission.

I am some unholy mix of bewildered, furious, & heartbroken about the wolves, and very much look forward to reading what you have to say about the situation.

And I am not familiar with the American Prairie Reserve but thank you so much! I love the idea of “gluing together” this disparate set of public & private lands to make a vast area for conservation! I look forward to reading more on their website, thanks again.

They're doing great work. But of course they are being opposed by the same ilk who shoot wolves, so every inch gained is a battle.
