What Will Friends Of Animals Think

This letter was in today's Daily News Miner here in Fairbanks.  I think it's just rewards for Friends Of Animals.

Harassing the wolves

April 25, 2005

To the editor:

Lately, finding Cantwell the center of the continuing wolf controversy, it appears key information is lacking in the media.

In early April, a pregnant wolf was taken after an airplane was seen from Cantwell circling or "buzzing" one area for more than 20 minutes. This airplane activity was less than one mile from the northern portion of Cantwell but was visible to many homes. This pregnant wolf was accompanied by an adult collared wolf that is believed to be the one more recently taken at Pass Creek, south of Cantwell.

As most hunters, trappers and photo opportunists know, this type of airplane activity usually signals the presence of a bear or wolf. The following day the airplane returned; it was identified as the same plane flying the day before. The airplane that drew attention to the two wolves had an unobstructed clear view of wolf tracks, new snowmachine tracks and a new red stain on the snow-covered mountain, so surely those in the airplane knew that one of the wolves had been removed.

If that was documented, only the person or persons in the plane know. Cantwell is a "puddling area" for moose each winter, and many residents are very protective of its slowly recovering moose herd. In the past, dogs have been eaten right at their homes. Cantwell is not a predator-free zone. We want to see the moose herd recover; deep snow this year gives wolves and bears a huge advantage in their killing of moose.

Predictably the pregnant wolf and its collared companion would have gone about their business if the identified airplane had not spent at least 20 minutes circling them. Let's just say their chance of survival would have been much better. To give credit for the death of at least the pregnant female, and to make some Cantwell residents aware of the other collared wolf, we have to thank Gordon Haber, "employee" of Friends of Animals or someone who has an identical airplane as his right down to his "tail feather" numbers.

I quess you fellows don't see the irone in this.  Gorden Haber works for Friends Of Animals.  Gorden Haber is a world renowen biologist (at least according to himself and his boss).  Gorden flies around Alaska, studeing wolves.  Anytime he hears about a F&G biologist, or enforcement officer being called into the field due to a problem or aggressive animal, he just seems to appear and tapes the animal being killed.  The next day it is showen on national TV, or is in the papers.  These films are edited and used for propaganda material for Friends Of Animals, Their parent organization, and Peta.(I can't remember if the parent organization is US Humain Society, or Humain Society Of The US).   Gorden is one of their main tools for spreading their enviromentalist propaganda.  
 
There are many wolves equipped with radio collars through out alaska.  Gorden is always going out flying around in his airplane or helicopter checking on their whereabouts and conditions.  He is also looking for animals that might have been trapped, or shot.  It seems that people have taken to following Mr. Haber around, he is a good source for locating wolves.  Recently after finding two wolves on different days he circled these wolves to get good looks at them to check on their condition.  People in town seeing him circling realised he was watching wolves.  To protect the Moose in the area they went out and killed the wolves he had located.  Mr Haber doesn't care about the Moose, wolves are his only concern.

What are his bosses in Friends Of Animals going to think when they hear about Gorden Leading hunters to wolves.
