edit: ehh... I don't know why I liked this vid so much.....
Aerial gunning, that is, shooting animals from aircraft, occurs on a mix of private and public lands -- including national forests, deserts, sage steppes, canyonlands, and prairies.
Do lethal predator controls such as poisons, traps, and aerial gunning keep agri-business from failing? No. In fact, few livestock are lost to predators each year. According to the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service, most livestock losses come from disease, weather, birthing problems, starvation, or lightening. Less than 1% of cattle and 3% of sheep produced in the U.S. each year are killed by predators.
Nevertheless, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services program kills tens of thousands of native wildlife annually for the benefit of livestock growers and farmers. In 2006, Wildlife Services killed 1.6 million animals, including 117,113 mammalian carnivores, of which 34,056 were shot from aircraft in Western states.
Aerial gunning fosters dependence on the government, because it's highly subsidized. Instead, it's time for agri-business to take common sense precautions to protect their livestock and use a whole host of non-lethal predator control measures. It's good for business, good the for the environment, and good for the taxpayer.

Another wolf vid! This one is very peaceful and solemn, with only implied sadness.
I used Sony Vegas Pro 9 for this one! I'm really proud of it.=) I had trouble with the rendering formats again....
This is not the full vid. Youtube cut off 2 min and I couldn't reupload the whole vid, no matter what I did.... I am very upset about this, as this is my favorite vid and I put so much effort into it. I now loath youtube.
**If this vid gets enough views, I'll add a download link of the full, cleaned up version that I couldn't upload.=)
