“We’re working hard to have this done by the end of the year and I’d say it’s very imminent,” Aurelia Skipwith told The Associated Press in a phone interview Monday.

set things right again. They have the experience and know how to do it. Even if for only a little bit, it would help get us going straight again.. Pretty please? It's only 141 days away..

It angers me that these brainless moronic trump humpers are going to run out and start killing those beautiful wolves. They can do what Sarah Palin did and just shoot them from a helicopter. I f*****g hate this administration!!!
