Sadistic killing of wolves
What a contrast in humanity, reflected in the two pictures that appeared in the Feb. 17 sports section - one of Gonzaga’s Hachimura, the other a shocking scene of a beautiful wolf lying dead before its proud killer, Justin Webb.
He has become the poster child for the atrocious, sadistic, ruthless and inhumane acts being perpetrated against all animals in a shameless, materialist, hedonistic society that is insatiable in its pursuit of depraved thrills and excitement, alienated from nature, totally devoid of all reverence for life and any moral or ethical responsibility for its behavior.
His Foundation for Wildlife Management, which sickeningly pays $500-$1,000 for each wolf trapped or atrociously strangled by snares (many other animals including deer, elk and dogs are also cruelly killed by these hideous instruments of torture and death), has nothing to do with management and everything to do with unconscionably slaughtering wolves and further brutalizing society.
Wolves are struggling to survive in this “culture of death,” while being iniquitously blamed for declining elk (poachers kill more elk than wolves).
Their courage, endurance, faithfulness, sacrifice, devotion to their young, value to nature, capacity for suffering, character and majesty forever put to shame their merciless tormentors.
