    logo_leagueofwomenvotersSedona AZ (November 13, 2018) – Wildlife Management and Coyote Politics is the subject of the League of Women Voters Greater Verde Valley Voters Education program on Monday, December 3, 12:30PM-2:00PM at Yavapai College, Room 34, 4215 Arts Village Drive, Sedona. The program is a partnership with OLLI and is free and open to the public.

    The guest speaker is Linda Bolon, Program Associate, Project Coyote.

    Learn about alpha predators and the threats to their existence.  On any given weekend, some of America’s most iconic wild animals are massacred in wildlife killing contests, with prizes awarded to the “hunters” who kill the largest or the most of a targeted species.  Coyotes, bobcats, wolves and foxes are common victims of these contests.  Fueled by anti-predator bias, these legally sanctioned but relatively unknown contests are cruel and foster ignorance about the critical role apex predators play in maintaining health ecosystems.  These contests occur on both public and private lands in almost every state except California – where killing predators for prizes has been outlawed.  Project Coyotes uses every tool in the toolbox to try and bring an end to Wildlife Killing Contests, using public education, the media, direct petitions, and more.  Learn how you can make a difference in protecting coyotes and other alpha predators.

    Linda Bolon first became involved in coyote related issues when neighbors rallied for removing coyotes from the community resulting from conflicts with pets. As a direct result of these conflicts and lack of community information about coyotes, Bolon founded Wildlife in Neighborhoods. For the past 12 years, the program has successfully reduced conflicts and provides information about coyotes and how we can coexist. In 2005, she began her involvement with Project Coyote, championing the organization’s mission of promoting coexistence through education, science and advocacy.

      Bravo, Linda, for dedicating your time and knowledge to educate the public about coyotes and how they fit into nature’s plan on this planet earth. May you succeed in your quest to put an end to the questionable sport and abominable practice of wildlife massacres. Your friends are rooting for you!!


    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
