Going Feral: Another lawsuit over wolves.
Another lawsuit over wolves.
Ten entities intend to sue the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service for not extending protection for wolves under the Endangered Species Act.
When wolves were first introduced, it was my opinion that wolves themselves would not be a problem in the Rocky Mountain West, but the people who surround them.
That has proven to be correct.

Monday, January 24, 1944. Red Advances, Luftwaffe attacks at Anzio, Rendering skunk fat.
The Battle of Korsun–Cherkassy commenced as part of the Soviet Dnieper–Carpathian offensive in Ukraine.
Near Leningrad the Red Army captured Pushkin and Pashovsk.
The British hospital ship was sunk off Anzio. 96 of the 229 aboard died.
The USS Plunkett (DD-431) was also hit.
53 of her sailors would die in the attack, but she'd be back in action by May.
The Anzio beachhead expanded slowly. The Free French Corps attacked Monte Santa Croce on the Gustav Line. The U.S. 2nd Corps continued attacking over the Rapido.
In Cheyenne, a War Salvage lecture was given on the topic of "How to get fat from skunk without smell". Attribution: Wyoming State History Society Calendar.
I don't think I'd try that.
Some apparently do, however.
The question is why?
Klaus Sperber, know by his stage name Klaus Nomi, and remembered principally for his operatic performance of his pop song Total Eclipse of the Sun, was born in Immenstadt, Bavaria. He was one of the first well known personalities to die of AIDS, passing away in 1983 at age 39.
Of interest, perhaps, as Sperber was German, German pop music producer Franz Reuther, known by his stage name of Frank Farian died yesterday at age 82. He had been responsible for Boney M and Milli Vanilli. His father had been killed in World War Two prior to his birth.

October 7, 1943. Murder
The Germans murdered 1,313 Jewish former residents of the Bialystok Ghetto at Auschwitz. Most of them were children. Bialystok's ghetto had seen a failed uprising.
Over 100 people, mostly Italian civilians, were killed when a bomb planted by the Germans went off at the post office in Naples.
The Japanese murdered 97 American civilians who had been held on Wake Island under the orders of Japanese naval commander Shigematsu Sakaibara (酒井原 繁松). He'd be sentenced to death for the event after the war.
Sakaibara believed an American landing was imminent, which would not justify in any fashion the murders. It was, however, what led him to give the order. After at first denying the murders had occured, he would ultimately confess to them and express regret, but also maintain that the Allies had no authority to try him and that his sentence was unjust following the American use of nuclear weapons.
The New Georgia Campaign came to an end with an Allied victory.
Lassie Come Home, the first Lassie film, was released.
