Killing Cubs

“The state of Alaska is now steadily increasing its deadly campaign against

Wolves, bears and coyotes, allowing a host of cruel, inhumane, and antiscientific

Hunting practices year round across the state -- including public lands.



“These gruesome practices include using greasy meat or dog food to lure out

And then shoot bears; shining artificial light into winter dens to kill bear cubs;

And targeting vulnerable wolves, coyotes, and bears that are raising their young.”

 

The Center For Biological Diversity

 

 

Music: Nature’s Lament

 

 

 

I sadly knew that it wouldn’t be very long

After our ‘leaders’ sanctioned wolf hunting

That many would now want to kill off bears

And the state of Alaska is leading this frenzy

 

Alaskan ‘leaders’ pioneered aerial wolf hunting

And now, they are killing bear cubs, in their dens

Once this catches on, in the lower forty eight states

Just like the wolf, America’s bear population will end

 

It is not horrendous enough, that we are now killing off mother bears

Leaving their helpless offspring to slow agonizing deaths on their own

Brave ‘sportsmen’ up in Alaska, now delight in killing newborn cubs

As these tiny infants hibernate with their mothers, in their den homes

 

Far too many people in America now want to rid it of all wildlife

A Wildlife Killing Frenzy has now been unleashed, by our ‘leaders’

There was a time, not that long ago, that we revered all forms of life

But most American citizens today are deaf, dumb, and blind out there

I read this and I think I'm seeing aliens at work - I just can't reconcile this cruel madness with any concept of humanity. One day there'll be a reckoning and I don't think it will matter that we say 'it wasn't me' - we're all humans and as such, indictable.

It is more than I can hardly want to hear anymore...
I get so disgusted at the apathy of mankind!

We need to make changes!

Oh there does seem such a forward flow of evil. I'm so glad there are activists like you who genuinely care. If you know of any action we can take against I'm in. Thanks Ed.

It is said state of affairs when the burgeoning human population could care less about wild animals that provide so much for us, along with their habitat. That's why I've joined some organizations to try to stop the erosion of our heritage.

If enough of us spend money on hunting licenses to enrich the covers of the states and the idiot greedy, vote bought politicians, we might be able to open the gate for a license to hunt the hunters, now there might be a sport more evenly matched. We'd keep them too busy of hunting little creatures and their offspring, and give them an extra challenge, I doubt though that these great trophy hunters would have the guts to confront a creature armed as well as them, and far more cunning. Sick fckn bastard all of them, to hunt just for the sport of it, to inflict pain and destruction.

"...we revered all forms of life
But..."
those days are gone and shall not return
we're hell bent on destruction and i'm at a loss
to know why
don't let your great heart fail, Ed
