Activists protest Alaska in NYC 'HOWL-INS': Friends of Animals seeks support against wolf-control program.

Click on photo to enlarge NEW YORK -- On a Manhattan sidewalk jammed with shoppers and tourists, a tight band of animal rights activists Saturday tried to draw attention to the cause of Alaska wolves.

Eat moose -- wear wolf

Central Park doesn't have its share of the wolf population. I also see a need to increase coyotes, assorted vermin (four legged), and vultures. (I personally think vultures are very interesting).

Just relocate the wolves from Alaska to NYC. It would take care of the rat problem.

Another know-nothing townie trying to tell folks in the boonies who do know, how things are supposed to be. Makes me want to upchuck.

Eat moose -- wear moose -- wear wolf.

Don't know what I'd do without my yearly supply of moose hides and a nice wolf vest does wonders on a chilly night.

"A big white dog named Katana was supposed to lead the chorus, but the Turkish mastiff was too distracted."

The paradox here is that given the chance, this Turkish mastiff would attack a wolf and try to tear it to pieces.

Priscilla Feral, president of Friends of Animals...

Somehow her name seems appropriate.

What a bunch of maroons...

"A big white dog named Katana ..."

A mastiff named after a Japanese sword designed for efficent killing. These people just don't have a clue. Whatever the trend du' jour...

I need some steak...

My Guess is that it is REALLLL COLD in ALaska and the fur-huggers don't wanna get cold. If they want to protest Alaska they should GOTO Alaska. (Hoping for frostbite)

I think these nuts need to get in touch with wild wolves.....they should do the humane thing and provide a winter meal...THEMSLEVES. The wolves would be more than happy and they would've done their part for the animals and us humans.

If they want to protest Alaska they should GOTO Alaska.

Alaskans might shoot them.

OK, that's it. I've reached my breaking point, and the first chance I get I am ordering a deerskin coat with Wolf Fur lining around the cuffs and hood from Alaska...

[Chad Fairbanks]

Yup. One of these will be real nice... ;0)

[meenie]

Alaska indians will snare and capture live wolves for $100 a pop. I can think of no better place to reintroduce the species than Times Square. Diversity should also include the mountain cat and grizzly bear. New Yawkers should be willing to sacrifice a few cats, dogs, toddlers, and yes a mother or two, to obseve nature at its finest.

Wildlife uber alles!!!!

[Chad Fairbanks]

Well, there are already predators in Central Park - the two-legged kind. They need some of the four-legged competition ;0)

[cheesebus]

Just relocate the wolves from Alaska to NYC. It would take care of the rat problem.

As well as the homeless problem.

Rights, farms, environment ping.

Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

BTT!!!!!

Maybe they should release a wolf pack in Central Park (protected of course) they could have a nice life munching on joggers.
