Wolves Worth Fighting Over

"If you were a man, I'd beat the crap out of you," is what one pro-wolf conservationist claims an Idaho man and anti-wolf activist yelled at her after he grabbed the woman by the throat and violently shook her. All this according to the Twin Falls Times-News. The Idaho newspaper cited police records showing that on Tuesday, Lynne Stone, director of the Boulder White Clouds Council, was walking in the town of Stanley when the head of the Idaho Anti Wolf Coalition, Ron Gillett, pulled up in his truck and an argument ensued. Apparently, after Stone took photographs of the well-known anti-wolf activist, Gillett grabbed the woman by the throat. And this isn't even the first case of wolf love/hate turned violent; in January, the executive director of the Hailey-based Western Watersheds Project, Jon Marvel, was accused of shoving Idaho Fish and Game commissioner Wayne Wright at a wolf-related meeting. With the Rocky Mountain wolf expected to officially be removed from the federal endangered species list on Friday, now might be the time for those afraid of the wolf and those afraid of the wolf haters to stock up on pepper spray.

Pepper spray itself is pretty tame. Unlike a skunk, it doesn't tend to go off when approached by humans. I would recommend stocking up on it, while stalking things like wolves and skunks;)
