“Who’s Afraid of the Big, Bad Endangered Species Act”

Montana’s Governor Brian Schweitzer informed the White House Wednesday that his state will allow the killing of federally protected gray wolves preying on livestock. The governor insists that there is an even more endangered species to protect; Little Red Riding Hood.

Schweitzer is concerned about a backlash. he doesn't want to be known as the governor who cried wolf.

To protect their cattle herds, some ranchers have had to kill individual wolves, but now some hunters are up to a pack a day.

Teenagers nationwide are asking for special protection at any cost for Taylor Lautner.
