Ranchers in Northern California are begging state officials to approve measures to protect their cattle. There have been 30 confirmed wolf attacks in the last two months, since March 18, 2025. State law can fine ranchers $100,000 and a year in jail if they kill a wolf, now classified as an endangered species.
Many American citizens are begging federal officials to stand up to our duly elected president who daily does whatever he wants – market-shattering tariffs, deportation of innocent people, pardoning known criminals, gutting medical research, undermining a century of medical health knowledge, verbally attacking foreign leaders and anyone who disagrees with him, destroying a world-wide attempt to control global warming so fossil fuel and mining interests can have their way.
Like the helpless cattle who are slaughtered by wily wolves, our democracy is being slaughtered by a wily predator.
One difference between cattle and law-abiding citizens… WE ARE NOT HELPLESS. We must get our elected officials to stop voting in their own interest and vote in the interest of our shaky democracy and a world that is mutually dependent on finding reasonable solutions to living in harmony.
Thanks for reading.
