Despite Warnings From Experts. FWS and IDFG Ignored Diseases, Parasites Spread by Wolves .

This was common knowledge among wildlife biologists in northern Canada and in Alaska where FWS biologist Ed Bangs was stationed prior to being assigned to head the Northern Rocky Mountain Wolf Recovery Team. Yet in the July 1993 Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) provided to the public, Bangs chose not to evaluate the impact of wolf recovery on diseases and parasites .

This alarmed a number of experts on pathogens and parasites, including Will Graves .

Yet in the July 1993 Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) provided to the public, Bangs chose not to evaluate the impact of wolf recovery on diseases and parasites.

Bangs was told at the time about hydatid tapeworms and chose to ignore the testimony, assuring the public that wolves to be introduced would be clean. He belongs in jail.
