Thank you Dave. And thank you Ted Williams.

We stand behind Williams and his facts, which are verifiable by any simple Google search, “Triple D Deist USDA.” “https://mtstandard.com/opinion/letters/catchy-title-misleading-redux/article_e1e7afba-5bac-533c-ac5a-c5ee91e9b4fc.html

It’s boring. I blame editors for assigning uninteresting stories, and people interviewed for being evasive.” IMHO, This IS True!

Thanks for your passion and vigilance. As I’m sure you know, whatever the lies are in actual wildlife photojournalism, the world of social media is exponentially higher. One has to suppose it is all the clients of these places who have no other place to publish. I can hardly even look at Instagram anymore because of the fake ass “wildlife” photos that I’m constantly fed (because I post wildlife photos, so .. algorithm. I just want to see everyone else’s).

Now I am horrified again, this time about abusive, neglectful, and deceptive wildlife practices being allowed in other countries. It’s infuriating, though not surprising, that one of those countries is my own. How ironic to name that poor wolf “Lakota.”

Free market economics (or our facsimile thereof) have brought some wonderful things (e.g., high employment and affordable food), but ethics and resource protection are not among them.

This article breaks through the hard surface of how people justify certain ways of interacting with wildlife. Well written and highlights a much deeper issue.
