What a tangled mess.
It seems that MOGA/SFW were quick to criticize the RMEF on a couple issues.
The first being the wolf issue, where both MOGA and SFW threw the RMEF under the bus as being "wolf lovers" and "pro wolf".
Those groups chose to hit the RMEF very hard with their anti-wolf agenda...and it worked. The RMEF paid a heavy price for remaining neutral on the issue, it wasnt like they were pro-wolf, just not rabid anti-wolf whacko's like SFW/MOGA.
Further, SFW/MOGA is also against Randy's appointment to the RMEF, even though Randy was heavily involved in the wolf issue from the start, and aired the first wolf harvest on his TV show. One would think there would be more support shown by Arnaud/SFW/MOGA since Randy took an incredible amount of heat from the episode. It wasnt them setting the record straight on the wolf issue, receiving death threats, and risking their career to do so. It was Randy.
Not only did they show ZERO support toward Randy, they again, chose to throw Randy and the RMEF under the bus over Randys appointment to the RMEF board.
I guess this is my biggest question...
Since Rob Arnaud holds the leases for all of the hunting on Turner Enterprises property in Montana...how can either MOGA or MTSFW allow him to be on their boards?
Considering that Turner allows NO WOLF hunting on any of his properties, and has even allowed wolves to be rehabilitated on his properties...why have both MOGA and SFW not raked Arnaud over the coals?
Bigger question to me is how does Mr. Arnaud wear two hats on the issue? Maybe theres an easy answer...one hat for each of his two faces?
I find it odd that MOGA/SFW would trash the RMEF for a neutral position on wolves, but elect Arnaud to their respective boards with the knowledge that Arnaud leases hunting properties from a very pro-wolf Ted Turner. Turner allows absolutely NO WOLF HUNTING on any of his properties.
I guess when theres a profit involved for one of their own, its OK for MTSFW/MOGA/Arnaud to support wolves and push their anti-wolf agenda aside?
Can you imagine the chit storm that MOGA/SFW would stir up if the RMEF or Randy owned a ranch that allowed no wolf hunting?
