Federal protections stripped for Wyoming wolves!

This is part of what I'm talking about when I say this administration simply HAS NOT BEEN GOOD when it comes to way too many animal-related issues.

As an animal advocate, it's been very frustrating to see agencies under a President from my party show no mercy to the animals of this country.

Don't worry, I'm as gung ho about Obama winning and us winning as many elections as possible in November as I was yesterday.

The Romney-bots would be even worse, and they seek to create a world where I can't even fight the good fight for the animals of this country and the world.

We all have to recognize the clear choice that remains clear despite painful personal wounds like this one.

Still, I wish they would be better, more humane, more decent in their approach to animals/wildlife.

None of this changes what I'm willing to do for Obama between now and November. We simply cannot lose this election. But please remember that we have a place on this board, too, when, after we kick the ever-loving shit out of Mitt in November, we return to our regular program of yelling at each other.
