Washington Times Calls Friedman’s Wolf Ruling Shameful
Posted by Tom Remington on October 14, 2008
I have written much and had more to say than most want to read about the recent ruling of federal Judge Paul Friedman, who, much similar to another wolf ruling by one Judge Molloy, disregarded proven science and returned the wolf in the western Great Lakes region to protection under the Endangered Species Act.
Gene Mueller of the Washington Times has very much similar things to offer in his rebuttal to Friedman’s ruling. I did however enjoy this part.
It goes to show the damage that can be done by one judge who allows personal feelings to interfere with sound science regarding wildlife management. It happens all the time. Animal rights activists somehow convince an ignorant jurist that deer, for example, should never be hunted even if the critters are about to eat every shrub and seedling in a rural neighborhood and are running into cars more frequently than insects meet windshields after sundown. The whole deal is kind of comparable to everyday life among humans when judges occasionally make the laws instead of simply interpreting them.
What a shame.

How could this be “disproving science” by returning an animal to its original home??????

Bea - You truly are letting your ignorance shine through in your lack of comprehension.Or is it that you really are only interested in misleading readers. The issue isn’t about returning your precious wolves, it’s about properly managing all wildlife and the habitat that supports it, but you wolf lovers could care less about any of this stuff, just like the brilliant Judge Friedman and Judge Molloy.
