I've maxed out. Closed this blog.
This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by.

         I just learned that there is a yearly roundup of wolves and coyotes for the fun of it. There was a picture on Facebook of dead bodies lined up in rows. I asked, "Why? Were they attacking livestock in huge numbers?" No, it's just a yearly thing.

         How gross is that? Now if they wolves are coming after my pets, my children, or my cows, I'm all for protecting my property. If the coyotes are eating my chickens, same thing. But for the sport of it? The fun of it? You can't even use them for food, like deer or elk! I can't believe this isn't illegal!

         I'm not going to use this as an anti-gun argument. If I lived in the mountains, or in a wilderness area, I'd want to be able to protect myself from wild animals. I had a friend, who was a sissy when we were growing up. She was afraid of spiders. But as a young married woman she shot an 80 pound mountain cat when she was alone with the children. You do what you have to for your family. But these people who go after wolves and other wild animals would do so with any means they have, including cruel traps.

         I am horrified that things like this are still going on in a tree-hugging era. I can't believe someone is dumb enough to post pictures and brag about it. Where is the outrage of the people in that state?
