It is all gone. The color that is. The stunning array of color I saw this morning when I stepped out of the house to walk the dog. The reds, purples and the pinks on the horizon, reflecting of the clouds as the sun approached, warning of its imminent arrival in a spectacular display of intense color. Only nature can provide such a display. The subtle nuances and the constantly changing tones and mixtures of hues and intensity are unique to nature. Man simply cannot match it.
The grey wolf will also soon be gone if the current administration continues with its plan to take the grey wolf off the endangered species list. Of course I expect no less from an administration that clearly does not care two hoots about the environment and the creatures that live in it, including us. Once the grey wolf is no longer protected it will again be at the mercy of the millions of mindless morons with hunting rifles that take pleasure in killing wolves for the simple pleasure of killing. There is no value in killing a wolf. There is no need to kill a wolf. It is pure unadulterated and mindless pleasure seeking. (Who gets pleasure form killing a majestic animal that is simply trying to survive I don't know, but history has shown there are thousands, if not millions that do).
Let's keep the color in the sky, let's keep the grey wolf protected. It does not stand a chance without us helping. Let's get an administration that cares about us and our environment again.
