Put a bounty on the wolf. Also, defense is OK against destruction of livestock. Get those woke bureaucrats out and pass some common sense laws.

Time to get rid of the Endangered Lists....and freedom to kill ANY wolf on your property.

And stop the transplanting where you "think" they should be.

Just like the dumb a** climate "scientists" who think they know what the temperature of the earth should be....

Declare yourself a cow.

Next, do self defense.

I would agree, but I’m pretty sure the released wolves have GPS trackers.

I can’t wait for the environmental nutjobs to reintroduce grizzlies in my part of the woods. The same applies to wolves as much as grizzlies. The only good wolf is a dead wolf. Same for commies.

Good article. Thanks for posting, George. It is just sickening and I feel so sorry for those ranchers having their livelihoods destroyed by FedZilla and the people in Portland, Salem, Eugene and Ashland

"[they]...requested immediate assistance from Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek for intervention in removing the wolf"

LOLOL...yeah, they will get a real sympathetic ear from Kotek. She is a Democrat and she runs a progressive agenda with a focus on housing, labor rights, and social equity. She could not care less about ranchers in her state.

"Flynn said the ODFW officials she has spoken to admit that the wolf is a problem and should be removed, but their hands are tied as wolves are federally protected and protected via state statute."

"Our hands are tied." That's the age-old government response when they don't want to do something. You get nothing but excuses from government agents who point to statutes and say "our hands are tied."

I never realized the secondary effects of wolves on cattle: cows get sick from stress, pastures don't get utilized because the cows won’t go to that corner because that’s where the wolves are, poor breed up.

And the non-lethal deterrents! What a joke. Playing AM radio at night, fladry (a rope mounted along the top of a fence, from which are suspended strips of fabric or colored flags, that will flap in a breeze. They are intended to deter wolves from crossing the line), and fox lights (night predator deterrent control light with flashing LEDs). It reminds me of those stupid Norwegian woman doing their "dance" to stop muslim men from raping them.

I suppose there are things worse than being a cattleman losing cows to wolves. You could be a farmer and have the feds blast irrigation and flood control dams to smithereens causing you to lose your water.

Donkeys. They’ll kill any wolf or coyote that comes around.

They can contact the BLM office in NW AZ and get information on when the roundup is and adopt Donkeys.

As for attacks on human being rare? Thats a GD lie. Ive been stalked by Timber Wolves several times and a fellow forester had to get up a tree after a pack went after him.

These freaks will lie through their teeth for their beliefs.

Kill the wolf. Remove the tracker and throw it in the nearest river.

Poor thing must have drowned.

Identifying the wolf as collared, he called ODFW for permission to shoot him.

That right there was the problem.

You are correct people like you and I that live in wolf country.

Know that they are not fuzzy furry forest critters just looking for you to pet them.

It is a rare day that I do not found wolf tracks with in few hundred yards of my house.

Some times a lot closer.

Big city leftists hate family farmers and family ranchers / they think food comes from a box or a can from a store.

Ted Turner, Jane Goodall, Bill Gates.. want to kill billions of people / kulaks that Stalin and Lenin hated for taking care of their families.

That is the secondary problem. The primary problem is state and federal laws that make ODFW controls possible.

And the upstream problem from that is the progressive urbanite who pushes for these laws without a care in the world for the people who produce their food.

to get rid of the Endangered Lists...\/

doge the data that underlies the endangered designations

and if that is found to be falsified fed data

arrest and prosecute all those who knowingly falsified fed data

and bar them from any future fed employment no more promotions for mismanagement and or felonies .....spit

Everywhere they try this it is a disaster. The wolves take the easy prey, domesticated animals. Why hunt wild ones?

Idiots!
