Davidson insists that in the fu-
ture, he will not sell the furs of
any animal that is on the Engan-
gered Species List of the Depart-
ment of the Interior, a list of rare
animals whose slaughter, sale, or
importation are prohibited by fed-
eral law.
At this time, the list names three
of the some 24 subspecies of Canis
lupus as endangered, but the pro-
hibition is not commonly enforced.
I. SPEIWAK and Sons are now
using coyote fur where they used
to use wolf, according to Robert
Speiwak, treasurer for the firm.
Fund for Animals has objected
to the use of coyote fur on the
grounds that coyotes too are ap-
proaching endangered status.
According to prosecuting attor-
ney Frank Stuart Freeman of the
state Attorney General's Environ-
mental Division, the procedure fol-
lowed after the office has received
a verifiable complaint about an
endangered species law violation,
is to first "tell the store nicely
that they are in violation of the
law.
"IF THEN they don't comply,"I
Freeman says, "we send them a
nasty letter, and if they still don't
comply, we undergo court proceed-
ings to prohibit the store from
continuing to sell the item."
Proceedings a r e complicated,
however, Freeman says, by the
difficulty of determining whether
the furs in question are actually
wolf.
"Several of the firms advertis-
ing 'wolf' are actually selling
'coyote'," says Freeman. "These
cases are then turned over to the
Consumer Protection division."
In a recent court proceeding;
against J. L. Hidson's, attorneys, Professors Archibald Cowan and

ALTHOUGH DORIS Dixon, re-
gional director of Fund for Ani-
mals, says- the attorney general's
office hasbeen informed by mail
of wolf fur sales in Ann Arbor,
Freeman claims no letters of com-
plaint concerning city stores have
reached his office.
According to a secretary in Free-
man's office, Dixon's letter could
have been misplaced if it was
addressed only to the attorney gen-
eral's office. and not specifically
to the Environmental Protection
division.
Experts agree that it is not only
possible but historically demon-
strable that man can drive certain
species into extinction by unbridled
mass slaughter for commercial
purposes. According to Lewis Re-
genstein, Washington director of
Fund for. Animals, 500 animal
species have met extinction so far
in this century.
REGENSTEIN SAYS the two
species of North American wolf,
Canis lupus (gray or timber wolf),
and the very scarce Canis niger
(red wolf), are both in danger.
There are currently estimated to
be fewer than 25 of these wolves
left in the entire state of Michigan.
According to the North American
Association for the Preservation of
Predatory Animals, there were
5,000 wolves left in Alaska in 1970,
and the number has dwindled by
1,000 each year since.
H o w e v e r, University wildlife
The Canadian government does
not consider the wolf to be an en-
dangered species in that country.
MOST LOCALLY sold wolf fur
comes from Canada. Coats sold in
The Bivouac are labelled, "Cana-
dian W o 1 f - not an endangered
species."
Neither Regenstein nor Cowman
and McCullough condone issuance
of bounties on the lives of wolves.
Scientists a n d environmentalists
agree that the wolf is not the
dangerous and vicious creature
portrayed in folklore. It is more
accurately characterized as a shy
creature, avoiding c o n t a c t with
humans whenever possible, they
say.
"In one f is c a 1 year-1967-68-
Alaska paid bounties on 1,711
wolves, 718 of which were killed
from airplanes," Regenstein states.
Wolf hunting by airplane involves
flying over a herd-or pack in the
wilds and firing indiscriminately
into the group -with a shotgun.
Later, the hunter returns on a
snowmobile to pick .up the pieces.
In addition to the bounty, which
may be as high as'$200, the hunter
receives roughly $50 to $100 from a
furrier for the pelt.
The issuance of bounties has
since been discontinued in most,
but not all localities.

Dodtletthe price of
a college education
stop you.
The price of a college education is skyrocket-
ing. Fortunately the Air Force had done some-
thing to catch up with it. For the first time, the
6500 Air Force ROTC Scholarships include
the 2-year program, for both men and women.
If you can qualify, the Air Force will pay for
the remainder of your college education. Not
only do ROTC 2-year college scholarships
cover full tuition, but reimbursement for text-
books, lab and incidental fees, as well as a tax- y
free monthly allowance of $100.
To cash in on all this just apply, qualify, and
enroll in the Air Force ROTC at
It's a great way to finish your college educa-
tion in the money, and enjoy a future where
the sky's no limit...as an officer in the Air
Force.
