Environmental Activists!

In early April, 2008, the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance agreed to teach a course on Activism at Amy Biehl Charter High School in downtown Albuquerque. The following documentary follows several students on their journey in learning about activism and saving the Mexican Gray Wolf (Lobo). This entire project, including the filming and editing occured over the course of 4 days.

people like you, people like you...typical. For your info, I do put meat on the table, and its in the form of elk and deer, and an occasional antelope. What happens when all the elk are gone? or severly depleated by your damm wolves to the point where I cannot hunt legally? Call us climate deniers, wolf haters, whatever. WE LIVE HERE and we will take care of the problem.

it out long enough the real reason would come out. its about money...its always about money. everything is all fine and good...until it hits the wallet. the moment it hits the wallet people like you are like what the hell this is not acceptable and cry foul. Its not about your ability to hunt or put food on the table...its all about your god damn wallet. if it effect that it must be destroyed. same commonality with Climate deniers, recycling skeptics and people like you.

Unless you've completely cut yourself off from society i highly doubt that your going to starve to death from lack of elk, though one can dream. and since you have access to modern technology I'm willing to bet you have access to a grocery store as well. you might learn how to use one...see they have this nice section referred to as a deli. pretty good variety of meats too as rumor has it. and the truth comes out. at the end of the day t comes down to money. i knew if i dragged it (more)

Exactly, our economies (and my freezer) depend on those elk also. Why should your wolves get them? WE live here now, you wolves are gonna go....as far as strengthing the "gene pool" you are dillusioned into thinking they only kill the weak. Guess again. Example, 18,000 elk in the lolo elk herd in Idaho 10 years ago. Now there are 2,000. Not even enough for man to hunt, much less the money the out of state hunters bring into the state. Our livihood is being lost because of these wolves.

you just proved my point! "Hey, your wolves are killing our elk at an unprecdented rate". yeah none left for you to turn around and kill. you not having those elk to kill is an inconvenience to you. yeah you may have more elk, but wolves generally pick out the weak elk when they attack, which actually strengthens the gene pool giving you even better quality elk. How dare i think of future generations that might actually enjoy seeing wolves in their natural beauty...damn...what a douche i am.

[BIGSKYHAL50]

Bah Bah Bah, more wolf crap! Leave them in Canada and Alaska. Hey, your wolves are killing our elk at an unprecdented rate. I feel absolutely no emotion (unlike you) in eradicated the whole state, and yellowstone to boot, for that reason alone. In another 10 years, their may be no elk left. You are shameful, irresposible one here......this in not about inconveniences, this is about survival of other animals that you damm wolves are destroying at an unprecentated rate.

[palmerhusky]

@BIGSKYHAL50 and as history has recorded quite clearly to people with a brain thousands can easily become hundreds...or none at all...which the latter is what people like you would love to see most. if its inconvenient to the lifestyle you want to live...kill it, eradicate it...don't ever let it come back lest it inconveniences us ever again...and thats the attitude i see with people like you and Idaho, Montana, New Mexico Alaska and other places like it. Shameful.
