Boise, IDAHO (Enviro Snowflake Brief)— Justin Webb, Executive Director of the Foundation for Wildlife Management, in front of the Capital steps today, says he has “seen the light” since recently being assessed with an IQ of 55, which puts him in the .2% percentile on the wrong side of the spectrum.
The combination of months of intensive tutoring enabling Mr. Webb to now read at a middle school level, along with a head injury that activated his dormant “empathy-compassion gene,” has lead to F4WM’s mission to shift from demonizing wolves to protecting Idaho wolves.
The previously anti-wolf organization was instrumental in gaining state support for the Wolf Bounty Program passed to pay bounties of up to $1,000 for killing wolves- financially supported by the state’s IDFG, F4WM, and the equally environmentally destructive NGO, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.
“I have more respect for wolves than any other animal on our landscape,” says Justin Webb. “They are the smartest, most cunning, beautiful, most amazing animals I’ve ever encountered.”
“The idea of paying anybody to kill native wildlife — and often on our public lands — just doesn’t make sense,” says Andrea Santarsiere, Center for Biological Diversity. “We are glad to see the Foundation for Wildlife Management reversing course and joining forces with us to protect balanced ecosystems that need wolves.”
Thanks to Justin Webb’s reading comprehension improvements, he learned through reading peer reviewed science that wolves are the least of the problems for his beloved elk.
“I really want my kids and their kids to hear an elk bugle, go to elk camp and have success. I hear a lot of wolves howling where I used to hear elk bugling,” an embarrassing statement from Mr. Webb last year flexing his 55 IQ at a F4WM banquet attended by Gov. Little.
During Justin Webb’s announcement today, he blushed and giggled when reminded of his claims that wolves must die to protect his children’s future to kill elk. “Shame on me, and the fact F4WM’s 1,535 members IQ is below mine is no excuse for any of us!”
The most somber moment came when Justin Webb’s voice began cracking when describing the horrific suffering he has witnessed with snare traps on wolves and other incidental catch wildlife victims.
The cruelty of snare traps has been in the media recently, through EXPOSED with John E. Marriott, a documentary web series. A shocking new episode exposes the horrific suffering of our wildlife with neck snares- choking to death.
Justin’s final comments at the Capital paraphrased one of his new allies in protecting Idaho wolves-Suzanne Stone with Defenders of Wildlife. He says Idaho’s management of wolves is rooted in public animosity for the species, and that drives political decisions about hunting seasons and other management decisions. “It’s based on superstition, fear, hatred of the species,” says the new voice from the new Foundation for Wildlife Management.
Justin Webb concluded by challenging Idaho hunters, agency leaders, and politicians to push themselves to also read actual science, and also to somehow find their empathy-compassion chip, even if it is buried deep in their ass today… i.e. Gov. Little.
