If you would like more information about what’s happening in Oregon, please FReepmail me. Please send me your name by FReepmail if you want to be on this list. 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.
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....

Somebody needs to post that article to X and truth social, targeting whoever the new head of Interior and USFS.
The local Obama holdover should be fired for inefficiency in job performornce.
Make an example of her.
"[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.
That right there was the problem.

Everywhere they try this it is a disaster. The wolves take the easy prey, domesticated animals. Why hunt wild ones?
Idiots!
Oregon State gummit would rather worship the earth and starve than manage its vast resources.
Yeah, let’s kill the wolf. Doesn’t make any difference that they were here first, and never touched a rancher’s cow until the ranchers brought them in and failed to protect them. That’s man’s answer to everything. If it bothers you, kill it even though you created the conflict.
Then what do you do when the varmint problem comes up? Wolves are opportunistic carnivores whose primary prey are deer, elk and moose. When these prey are not available, wolves will eat smaller animals such as rabbits, beavers, grouse, ravens, skunks, coyotes, porcupines, eagles and fish. See anything on the list about cattle? If someone goes swimming in the ocean in a wet suit with the seals and they swim away and that someone gets nailed by a shark, is it right to go out in the ocean and start killing sharks at randem? It’s been done.
I’m reminded of the Warner Brothers’ short that had a mouse problem in a hotel. They sent up a cat that became a problem, so they sent up a dog. When the dog became a problem, they sent up a lion. When the lion became a problem they sent up an elephant. When the elephant became the problem they sent up a mouse. It’s almost always the quick fix that is the problem.

From an old lament modernized.
I raise livestock, the wolves kill them.
When I protect my livestock I am arrested,
Because a GREAT MAN who is above raising livestock,
Would be in need of wolves.

Time to bring back Compound 1080.
A county can’t handle a wolf problem and has to call upon the state?
What a bunch of faggots.
Thank you, george76, for posting this well-written article! Thank heavens there’s a new sheriff in town!
“OR 158”
Not a very intimidating name for a dread predator. How about “El Diablo” or “Fang” or “Gray Shadow?”
Haze with a Drone?
WTF?
How about haze with a 308?
Coming soon to Colorado.
Pre dug graves, and SSS. Make sure you have the tag.
