Oregon Wild Defends Wildlife

"Wildlife Services" at the Oregon State level are anything but. Governor Brown recently attempted to prevent activities like coyote carnivals - read carnage. The ODFW appears to have gotten heavy with members who have conflicts of interest and questionable credentials, palling around with ranchers who aren't willing to pursue mutually beneficial practices. Under their guidance, $400,000 has snuck into a "Christmas Tree bill that would expand hunting of many species; bears, coyotes, and bats. Bats? Whose values are batty? Please sign the petition to urge Governor Brown to dead end this deadly bill. With our gratitude here at Rowena Wildlife Clinic, Shannon Perry

Having been in Ireland for 11 days, I got a taste of its beauty and wildness. Standing on the Cliffs of Moher and hearing tens of thousands of birds busy nesting was thrilling. Below us wheeling through the air and into crevices were familiar species such as guillemots, puffins, and gulls. Kittiwakes and fulmars were newer to me. I thank Creation for the wild places wherever they may be.
