  Protect The Wolves® incorporates the Indian Trust

Protect The Wolves® Indian Trust research  that has been done thus far tells us we can stop this if you will help us! The Elected Officials have no conscience. Join Us Today to make the Difference that no other Group has available!!  Please SEE Our Call for Help from ALL LARGE ATTORNEY GROUPS

Protect The Wolves truly wonders why only 3 of the Larger NPO Attorney Groups have contacted Us???? The 3 that have responded thus far is Western Watersheds Project, Western Environmental Law, and the NRDC. What is it going to take to get the rest of them to respond???? If they refuse to join us, they are the same as pulling the Trigger on Wolves and Grizzlies in their Dens!! Are They are afraid that the focus will be taken away from them? Is that all this amounts to??????  We Have the Tribal Support if you will Join Us! We can and will stand a far better chance than these large compromisers.

Protect The Wolves® has been researching the Indian Trust, The Public Trust along with Natures Trust by Mary Christina Wood. These three important tools tell us that under not only our Religious Rights but also our sovereign property rights granted by the Indian trust clearly states Tribes remain co-owners, in effect, along with the states.

As co-tenant trustees, not as guardian-ward  as some attorneys have approached it… which by the way needs to stop immediately.

Trust documents tell us that not only do tribes, as well as Tribal members have legal standing to enjoin states fromdiminishing the shared assets which include our lands, wildlife, resources, that wildlife in general also encompass our sacred species also gains extra protections under our Native American Religious Rights, as well as the public lands that are held in trust for the people.

These trust documents also tell us that the majority of public lands in the United States are actually held in trust for the American people by the federal government and managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM),. the United States National Park Service, Bureau of Reclamation, or the Fish and Wildlife Service under the Department of the Interior, or the United States Forest Service under the Department of Agriculture. Other federal agencies that manage public lands include the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the United States Department of Defense, which includes the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.[4]

In general, Congress must legislate the creation or acquisition of new public lands, such as national parks; however, under the 1906 Antiquities Act, the President may designate new national monuments without congressional authorization if the monument is on federally-owned land.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Congress has approved a bill that would allow aerial hunting of grizzly bears and killing of bears and wolves near dens on federal lands in Alaska.

The Senate gave final legislative approval Tuesday to a measure that repeals an Obama-era rule on hunting on Alaska’s 16 national wildlife refuges. The Fish and Wildlife Service said last year the rule would promote ethical hunting practices while maintaining sustainable populations of bears, wolves and coyotes.

Alaska’s three Republican lawmakers said the rule undermines the state’s ability to manage fish and wildlife on refuge lands – one-fifth of Alaska’s land mass. Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, said the rule fundamentally changes Alaska’s relationship with the Fish and Wildlife Service “from one of cooperation to subservience.”

The Senate approved the measure, 52-47, sending it to the president. The House approved the measure last month.

Democrats and environmental groups protested the action, saying Congress was sanctioning inhumane treatment of animals.

“This isn’t about states’ rights,” said Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash. “It’s not about prohibiting hunting. … It’s about how we can manage these wildlife refuges to the degree that agencies believe are necessary for the preservation of these wildlife heritage areas.”

Visitors to Alaska don’t “want to see the inhumane killing of cub bears in a den,” Cantwell said. “They like to see the bear and fishing activity that exists in so many of these beautiful areas.”

But Sullivan said the rule “undercuts meaningful public participation in refuge management decisions (and) utterly disregards the legal protections and rights given to the state in the Alaska Statehood Act.”

He said Cantwell and other out-of-state critics were misinformed.

“This rule is about Alaska,” he said. “Ask people who have to live off the land and need the food” whether the Obama-era rule is needed. “Tell them this is not subsistence” hunting, Sullivan said.

Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States, said the bill would allow “the worst wildlife management practices introduced in the last century,” including shooting hibernating bears with their cubs; using airplanes to scout and shoot grizzly bears; and baiting and trapping bears with steel-jawed, leg-hold traps and wire snares.

Allowing Alaska to overturn federal management of federal lands is nonsensical – and has little to do with states’ rights, Pacelle said.

The Fish and Wildlife Service and National Park Service have for decades directly controlled the management of wildlife on federal land dedicated to species preservation, he said. Doing away with that tradition would mean it’s only “a matter of time for the state of Wyoming to open hunting seasons on grizzly bears and wolves within the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park,” Pacelle said.

  1. All wildlife is scared and has a purpose. You attack the balance of the wild and all creatures pay the price….including us. Stop giving permission to kill, not for food, but to kill.

  2. Protect the wolves and their families, They work with Mother Nature to balance out the ecosystem. All they want is to be left alone, raise their families and do what nature taught them.They are the victims of man. Farmers and cattleman keep your animals off gov.land. This the wolves home and territory.
