Tell the Canadian government: Stop your tar sands wolf kills!

Tell the Canadian government: Stop your tar sands wolf kills!: "Tell the Canadian government: Stop your tar sands wolf kills!


It just gets worse and worse.

To make up for the fact that rapid tar sands oil mining is threatening caribou herds by destroying vast swaths of rainforest habitat in Alberta, the Canadian government has called for strychnine poisoning and aerial shooting of thousands of wolves in areas of tar sands mining.1

Tell Prime Minister Harper: Stop Canada's planned wolf killings!"

and here is the note I wrote to accompany my signature on the petition:

I have spent much of my time in Canada over the years. I have relatives in Quebec, Montreal, and Alberta. This project does not just effect Canadian soils, it effects the USA too. My outlook on this project is not supportive to say the least. There are far better and viable options that are available to both the Canadian and Us Government to provide us with plenty of Energy using green sources. Such as wind, and solar energy. Please do not tell me that this is too "expensive" to do- the resources are there for Solar Panels that are inexpensive- and the amount of stored energy from wind is more then we can use. In addition, there are methane burners that can be provided to the mass beef and dairy industry that produce huge amounts of energy. By building this pipe line, it falls into the old saying, "To rob Peter, to pay Paul"... basically to save a penny, and pad the oil industries pockets- and convince us you are providing jobs, you build this pipeline- but in the end, you are robbing the people of the future, of clean air, water, and valuable resources- you are doing a quick fix, to a permanent problem, with a band aid that in the end, will cost thousands more in problems. You are desecrating forest lands- which increase the green house effects that are already an imminent problem world wide. You are killing of precious wild life and beautiful things that should be around for generations to come. This is not just about us, and the here and now. This is about a delicate eco-system, and that includes the wolves. They are a majestic, and integral part of the natural eco-system of north america... and to cruelly and viciously kill them off for a pipeline, in the end, is compiling the problems already facing us economically, environmentally, and long term due to the selfish nature of mankind. Please, won't you reconsider taking such actions and find a solution that is a better policy on all of these levels?

Thank you for your time,
