“It's as though America has now been transported back to the 1890s,
To a time when wolves and other animals were targeted for eradication.”
Defenders of Wildlife
Music: All Is Gone
It has only been a year now
Since the wolves were de-listed
Stripped of their federal protection
And now, their annihilation we witness
We do this supposedly to protect livestock
Although ranchers, are compensated for this
I believe that the real reason so many now kill
Is that killing, gives so many human beings bliss
Hundreds and hundreds of wolves, are now being killed
They are shot down from the skies, poisoned, and snared
It sickens me to read all the brag-filled boasts being penned
On the Internet Blogs and the Anti-Wolf Websites out there
And today, it seems that everyone wants to join in this killing frenzy
From our government employees, to contractors, to law enforcement
The extremely joyous person in the picture is a Idaho County Sheriff
Posing with his rifle and shovel, bragging about his fine accomplishment
The sign in the picture with the happy sheriff reads ‘308 SSS Wolf Pack’
‘SSS’ was an old poacher’s motto, meaning: ‘Shoot, Shovel, and Shut Up’
A year ago, this same sheriff should have been arresting any wildlife poachers
Now, he and many others will not stop killing wolves, they’ll never kill enough
And now that our ‘leaders’ are also stripping protection from America’s sea lions
There’ll soon be sea lion hunters bragging about their accomplishments, without end
We call our time ‘the modern era’ and we boast about our knowledge of the earth
But we have become self-centered barbarians, now consumed with our own worth
