I received this rather disturbing news:

Dear wolf lovers
I'm sorry to intrude with this message but I think this may be only way to inform you about this. New hunting season for wolves have begun in Poland. This year limit have been set at totaly unrealistic level of 98 wolves to be shot to death just in Krosnienskie. Counting by the hunters say about 200 wolves. Independent sources say about about 100 wolves living there. Shuting 98 wolves will just destroy population there. This decision was done without any consultations with ecologists and was written just before change of the government. Document copies are difficult to optain and nobody responsibe for this action can be contacted. Chef of local administration says that after shooting down 30 wolves he will stop this action but if his intentions would be clear then he could sign bill for 30 wolves not for nearly 100. What is more important he probably will leave the post (due to the gov change) and new man will be placed there not limited by this 'proposal'.
Please help us fighting for wolves lives. I have searched for any e-mail addresses to send protests and found none. (except for webadmin for their www site but he will not help...). I have found a few fax numbers to the people responsible for the hunting and the environment protection. Here there are:
General Director of the State Forests +48(22)25-60-28 .
A fax to ministry responsible for the environment protection might be a good solution +48(22)25-33-55, +48(22)25-46-93. Department of the environment protection fax +48(22)25-47-05, forestry department +48(22)25-40-12, international colaboration department fax: +48(22)25-39-72.
Beware: those faxes are in Warsaw, Poland. Country code for Poland is 48 and city code for Warsaw is 22. If you have any other ideas how to fight please say a word :>
Happy howling yours WD
