Quotes about Wildlife

People say that hunter's 'kill' game, that's not true. Murderers 'kill;' sportsman 'harvest' wildlife. There's a big difference.

Bobby Harper

Peak hunting periods coincide with dry season drought months, as vegetation is less dense and wildlife searching for watering holes are easier to hunt and locate. Hence supply peaks during times of hardship and constitutes an important drought and famine coping strategy for the majority in the rural areas surveyed.

Robert Barnett

Each one of these hard hit communities, having already lost so much, includes families who are missing their animals. Orphaned and injured wildlife are also at risk. What we accomplish here will be measured by saving one animal at a time. We are talking about tens of thousands of dogs, cats, birds, livestock and wildlife who have been affected and still need help.

Michael Osullivan

Millions of live animals come into the country each year, and very few have really good surveillance. Fish and Wildlife checks cargoes to see if they have endangered species, but it's the U.S.D.A. that does health checks, and they don't go unless it's an agricultural product, so the pet trade tends to get a pass.

Peter Daszak

I don't know what kind of value you'd put on CRP as far as wildlife goes. Our wildlife population will take a huge hit when the CRP goes out.

Kevin Kading

The corps is not following the law, and drinking water supplies, wildlife habitat and flood protection could be lost as a result.

Nancy Stoner

I was not only disappointed with the initial determination of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, but also surprised. The evidence has been mounting that the Florida scrub jay population has been declining at a rapid rate.

Mary Sphar

After a lengthy investigation, the violators were identified and charges were filed. It's a great day for those of us who care about wildlife.

What the hell has conservation done? The World Wildlife Fund must have spent several billion pounds, it hasn't saved the panda, tiger, nothing.

David Bellamy

Our conservation challenge is managing growth and development to balance places for people with places for wildlife and natural diversity to flourish.

Lane Green

With the great societal concerns about impacts on fisheries and other wildlife, its not likely we are going to see many new hydroelectric projects developed. We're not planning any.

In general terms, I think with increasing human populations we will inevitably see an increase in conflict between humans and wildlife.

Jeff Mcneely

Divide a section up from one industrial owner to 16 new owners (of 40-acre tracts) and you have a bunch of driveways and cabins and new roads and lights. It affects wildlife. It affects timber management. You lose the connectivity.

Tom Duffus

We are concerned over how the increase in power rates will affect wildlife. We are at this point, solely dependent upon how much water the farmers are using. It remains to be seen how this will play out, but we think less water will be coming through the hill, so that is a concern of ours.

Ron Cole

I have no explanation for that. The senator intended the TTP permit as a means for subdivisions and cities to control nuisance deer. I have not looked at the rules promulgated by Texas Parks and Wildlife after the legislation was passed. It wouldn't be the first time the intent of a bill got changed.

Joe Morris

It's against the law, it's bad for the animal and for native wildlife. If you no longer want the animal, find an alternative.

Skip Snow

In a way we are not surprised, since we had expected a possible expansion of the disease through wildlife.

Joseph Domenech

Population reductions are one tool that wildlife biologists have used to try to manage hot spots.

Tim Feldner

Andy Buchsbaum

We went out on the Harris chain. They got some wildlife ideas, photos of turtles and birds and we were lucky enough to catch a fish. Neither one of them caught one, but I have invited them to go fishing with me later on, hopefully, on a pleasure trip.

Stephen Browning

There's a conflict there between the people who use the school and the wildlife. I wouldn't call it a prairie dog problem.

David Crawford

Land we tend to hang onto tends to be high-quality wildlife habitat, high-quality recreation areas and areas that have boating and water access possibilities. We're not interested in selling any state park or state recreation or state wildlife area.

Mary Dettloff

It's a complicated issue. The Fish and Wildlife Service gives the states three options for how to set up zones and splits for their duck seasons.

Jim Gammonley

Now the Forest Service and BLM must stop avoiding their legal responsibilities and get to work implementing the Forest Plan, so at least minimal protections are in place for ancient forests, salmon, wildlife and clean drinking water.

Doug Heiken

That mind-set is why this country is in trouble. It's the safest place to produce energy. It has the least impact on wildlife and creatures.

John Peterson

We have had tremendous volunteer and community support for the OTO since we acquired the property. It is truly a special place to a lot of people. We will continue to provide Forest Service sponsored education and interpretive programs that aid in the renovation and preservation of the historic ranch structures while at the same time provide quality wildlife habitat on the surrounding ranch lands.

Ken Britton

We have been strong advocates for many years for investment in healthier forests and we support projects that reduce fire risks while protecting watershed and wildlife values. Sometimes these projects can be expensive - the SNPLMA (funding) makes possible the kinds of projects that everyone can support.

Rochelle Nason

Here's what it takes. If you love to fish, want to teach others, care about the ethical use of Vermont's water resources, and you want to volunteer with the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department, we want to hear from you.

Mark Scott

Prompt an interest among local communities and landowners to invest in the sustainable management of the wildlife resource for meat production.

Todd O'hara

I think that sometimes environmentalists can be out of touch with the reality of poverty, of the challenges that face people who have just emerged from civil war. Wildlife conservation can't happen in isolation.

Greg Cummings

Killing native wildlife is not an effective or ethically defensible response to urban wildlife conflicts. It is high time state and municipal governments put the resources into humane, long-lasting solutions. We are confident this comprehensive program will provide a model for other communities across the country.

Camilla Fox

It's a function partly because of where we're living now. Our suburbs are stretching a little closer to the woods, and we like living in the woods. We enjoy the wildlife, so we're now a bit closer to where the predators are.

Stephen Zawistowski

It's been going on for decades and it's having a long-term negative effect on wildlife. Penguins can live a long time with oil, but that's not true of most seabirds. Our findings appear to be just the tip of the iceberg.

Dee Boersma

Any landowner who didn't want to pay a fee into the mitigation fund could opt out of the HCP and say to the Fish and Wildlife Service, I'm planning to develop 500 homes.

Michael Bean

Given that it is a highly contagious disease, we were sure it could spread from one region to another, either through wildlife or through trade and movements of products. So this happened and we are not surprised at all.

Joseph Domenech

The leadership and dedication shown by the Florida Wildlife Federation is in the finest tradition of the American Conservation movement today.

Don Childress

Congratulations to GE Global Research for their commendable efforts towards the restoration and enhancement of wildlife habitat. Together, we are committed to being good stewards of the earth.

Bill Howard

That (extra) land made the area more secure and a better place for wildlife.

Al Trout

Wetlands laws, both state and local, protect the lands from flooding, from pollution and they protect the wildlife and the drinking water supply. With the increased priority Andover citizens have for natural areas and open space, I'd be surprised if they vote to repeal (the bylaw).

Robert Douglas

If you're in the right type of wildlife crime the risks are minimal and it is very lucrative.

John Sellar

It's a big problem. No one is quite sure how it's going to be attacked. They do eat a lot of local wildlife.

Michael Orchin

I walked up and down this canal for my exercise, saw wildlife, fed my fish.

Jesse Hardy

If there?s a silver lining to all of this, it?s that when we find the dead fish, we?re also finding healthy fish in the same area. We have representatives from [U.S. Geological Survey] and the United States Fish and Wildlife checking for everything. The experts are in the right place at the right time. Until we find a cause and implement a solution, we are going to continue to be out there.

Don Kain

All kinds of wildlife carry the crazy thing, ... We routinely vaccinate dogs, cattle and swine for it.

Connie Maina

There's just something spectacular about seeing wildlife in its natural environment that thrills us and helps us better understand the exotic cats in our care.

Kevin Chambers

We've come a long ways. It has been an evolution in the cultures of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists and Border Patrol personnel. We were both operating in the same area but had recognizably different missions. We didn't see our missions joining.

Ron Colburn

Things like these don't come into existence easy, and they don't come into existence just because of the DNR. It takes a complete team effort. It's not just the state legislature and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Congress through the Pittman-Robertson Act.

Kyle Hupfer

Thanks to the cooperation of Mr. Moore and Vital Ground, Montana will leverage the value of their easement to provide about $600,000 in federal funds that we will use to conserve other important forestlands in the Swan Valley. This project will add another 180 acres to a program that has helped conserve wildlife habitat and working forests on nearly 155,000 acres in Montana in the last five years.

Steve Knapp

The animal is not likely to survive and if it does survive it's going to take a toll on the native wildlife that defines the character of Florida.

Henry Cabbage

Mississippi and Tennessee offer some of the best deer hunting opportunities in the nation and are noted for having high quality state wildlife conservation and management programs. We are confident we can lay the groundwork in these two states for a program that expands to several other states in future years.

Gary Morris

We're used to looking at the large visible effects that humans have on wildlife such as logging or draining wetlands. Subtle impacts [from recreation] may be just as consequential.

Robert Steidl

With any disease in wildlife, there are so many factors, getting a good handle on it can be difficult.

Mark Atkinson

Poplar was 200 acres, and there was quite a bit of wildlife.

Peter Bailey

Oil development in the arctic wildlife refuge makes as much sense as chopping down the giant redwoods for firewood.

Jim Walton

This denial comes from an administration that's provided protection to the fewest number of wildlife species of any administration since the Endangered Species Act was passed. We're going to sue.

Noah Greenwald

We aren't getting rid of grazing; we're redistributing where it occurs -- away from core wildlife areas near national parks and wilderness areas and closer to low-conflict areas.

Hank Fischer

Because we have an agreement, that tells us how we have to manage the area for wildlife. If we didn't manage it in that manner, they (U.S. Fish and Wildlife) could take the area away from us.

Bill Ohde

We're not trying to say wind turbines don't have an impact [on wildlife]. But if you look at all forms of power generation and compare them, wind stacks up very well.

Steve Stengel

Antler quality was certainly up this year. I've seen the evidence at two or three wildlife check stations that I'm real familiar with. One of them that used to check one or two exceptional bucks each year had three or four this year, and I'm talking about bucks scoring in the 150-point class.

Bob Mcanally

One of the problems is that the reporting of data on wildlife crime is extremely haphazard. We don't have any feel for what is taking place compared to trafficking in firearms, humans or narcotics.

John Sellar

We make sure the information gets to the Ontario government and Canadian Wildlife Management. Then we get it to the Hawk Migration Association of North America (HMANA).

Mike Street

For a wildlife biologist, it's a career highlight to work with an animal this rare.

John Rohrer

Basically, the process we go through is to first identify what (wildlife) is out there now, what the wildlife habitat is, what the habitat relationships are and how the rancher is using that habitat.

Dave Lockman

My work should trigger further interest in studying the effects of cadmium on wildlife. Birds are exceptionally good indicators of environmental problems. Because they have to eat a lot to stay alive, high levels of contaminants go through their system.

James Larison

This means that the Kenya Wildlife Service organisation believes Meru is safe.

Mark Jenkins

There's nothing like walking out of the house in the morning and seeing the sky, smelling the world and hearing the birds. Everything here -- the property, the privacy, the quiet, the wildlife -- we love it.

Signe Cann

Yes, leave them alone period. They're wildlife, yes.

Kristen Wood

Wildlife populations can act as buffers against the spread of disease as well as sources for its emergence. Through providing a better understanding of how pathogens move among species, the field of Conservation Medicine gives us the tools we need to maintain healthy ecosystems that protect people and wildlife.

Mary Pearl

We will be bringing the Wildlife Protection Amendment Bill in this session of Parliament.

Priyaranjan Dasmunshi

Degradation is a continuum, ... In virtually every ecosystem we visited, humans have colonized the landscape. Very few places are wild. The places to find wildlife are in protected areas. This is a good indicator of how deeply human species has penetrated the continent.

Michael Fay

Everybody thinks wildlife is cool. And these photographs are a way to bring home to people that we have these kinds of animals here in Tucson.

Don Swann

Fishing can take you to some of our most beautiful places and give you privileged close-ups of our rarest and most interesting wildlife. It?s also a great introduction to the environment and wildlife for inner city people.

Dafydd Evans

Large wildlife populations, attractive scenery, rich fishery resources, and expansive woodlands are the basis of a sustainable future. The idea is for local communities to manage the land, wildlife, and natural resources so they are profitable, and ultimately, self-supporting.

Chris Weaver

What can Wildlife and Parks do for the county.

Linda Lanterman

The reality is that wildlife populations in Kenya today are generally on the decline due to threats arising from poaching, habitat loss and land use changes.

James Isiche

Kirby Brown

The death warrant for treasured American wildlife.

Susan Holmes

The students come here to have hands-on experience in forestry education. The Auburn University School of Forestry and Wildlife Science manages the Dixon Center. Each Auburn forestry student spends one 10-week summer term at the Dixon Center taking basic field forestry coursework prior to their junior year and more advance on campus courses.

Rhett Johnson

Jeffrey Rubin

It has the support of the builders, the Realtors, the Wisconsin Association of Lakes, the Wisconsin Wildlife Federation, the DNR, the governor's office.

Todd Ambs

That's really all I want to see of those two countries. I've got no interest in the native wildlife. In fact it will be fine if I don't see any.

Tripp Isenhour

It's a tradition that continues, and yet we have opposition from groups that think that animals should have equal rights to human beings, and that's probably the biggest threat we have. Other than that, I think there is general acceptance that we need to have wildlife, we need to have outdoor recreation of all kinds.

Herb Behnke

I'm having a ball. This is good for me. It keeps my mind on the wildlife of the Ozarks.

David Pitts

We were optimistic at the beginning that we would have mitigation for our fish and wildlife damages. But now the bottom line is that the Arkansas Wildlife Federation objects to the entire project.

Jim Wood

Mark Banker

I encourage hunters to acquire and fill their antlerless deer tags and donate the game to this program, ... You will help the state manage wildlife populations and, at the same time, provide a charitable service.

Jeff Olson

Paradoxically, diseases also play an important role in healthy ecosystem functioning. These changes tend to slip under the radar screen until they show up in ecological cascades that lead to wildlife and human health problems.

Andrew Dobson

We started a policy review in September last year on our entire wildlife policy, looking at a range of issues. The ban on hunting is one of those up for review and discussion.

Julius Kipng'etich

The history of the area is as interesting as the wildlife. There?s really something for everyone here.

Stephen Baglioni

The people who are supposed to be protectors of wildlife should have a better understanding of the wildlife they are supposed to protect.

Lynda White
