Misleading, unsubstantiated claims are par for the course for Lobowatch, an anti-wolf activism site. The latest “news release” goes above and beyond, filled with half-truths and even calling for hunters who may break the law to shoot wolves to be called “wildlife patriots” not poachers.

Lobowatch is a notorious Web site, but until recently they have focused on pushing the rhetoric of those like Jim Beers and what can only be called anti-government conspiracy theory. The site has now taken a more sinister – and illegal – approach.
