The threat to the wolf's survival has never been greater. Hunting of wolves has already begun in Montana and Idaho and may soon be allowed in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

The Animal Rights Coalition Speaker Series, in cooperation with HOWL (Help Our Wolves Live), will host wolf expert and conservationist Karlyn Atkinson Berg on October 29 at 7pm at the Lake Harriet United Methodist Church, Fellowship Hall (lower level) which is located at 4901 Chowen Ave S in Minneapolis. 

Update From Local Grand Jury Resister Carrie Feldman

Update from Carrie, who was subpoenaed to a federal grand jury in Iowa on October 15th:

Local Activist Subpoenaed to Federal Grand Jury in Iowa

UPDATE: After reading a statement to the grand jury, Feldman returned to the Twin Cities Thursday night with a subpoena to appear again one month from now. More, including the text of the statement, here.

Early Tuesday evening, Twin Cities activist Carrie Feldman was pulled over by Cedar Rapids, Iowa FBI agents and served a subpoena (PDF) to appear in Davenport, Iowa federal court. The subpoena, dated October 6, originally asked her to appear on Wednesday morning; that date has been pushed back to Thursday at 1pm. No other activists are known to have been subpoenaed. Feldman was also informed that her high school attendance records from 2004 were under investigation. (Read her personal statement below.)

Grand juries have been a leading tool of the Green Scare--the demonization and repression of both legal and illegal activities carried out by environmentalist and animal rights/animal liberation activists. The hearings are particularly troublesome for their secrecy; even the witnesses called to testify are often left wondering what the investigation is about. In this case, too, the nature of the investigation is at present completely unknown and left to the speculation of observers. However, a check of the Omaha, Nebraska FBI Field Office website (the office serves all of Iowa) shows that the FBI is prioritizing its investigation into a November, 2004 Animal Liberation Front action at the University of Iowa in Iowa City.
