Group Challenges Wolf Recovery Program ( CBD : eco-nuts again )
Associated Press ^ | Dec. 15, 2006 | SUE MAJOR HOLMES

An environmental group went to court Thursday in an effort to force the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to expand a program to reintroduce the endangered Mexican gray wolf in New Mexico and Arizona.

The Center for Biological Diversity, which has offices in both states, alleged in a lawsuit in federal court in Washington, D.C., that Fish and Wildlife has refused to implement recommendations of a scientific panel that reviewed the program.

Fish and Wildlife spokeswoman Vickie Fox of the agency's Albuquerque office said federal officials haven't had a chance to review the lawsuit and do not in general comment on pending litigation.

However, she added: "Making critical management decisions for a program that has complex social impacts while ensuring that wolves return to their natural world takes time, and the service does not take its decision-making process lightly.

It is committed to the cooperative effort for recovery of Mexican wolves in the wild."

When the government cuts grazing rights, ranchers face two choices:

Buy hay and food supplements or reduce the herd.

Few ranchers can afford to buy hay on the market for a large herd, so most sell, often for prices far below what they could have received normally.

Well, that's one way to control the border...

Sigh.

Leviticus 26:22 I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate.

Wonder what wolf meat tastes like.

Yuck! Too much like eating a dog which is popular in some countries.

Many of the ranchers are giving up.

Sierra Club is out bidding them on some allotments, the forest service and BLM are 'vacating' other allotments, the expensive introduction of Mexican wolves...

Soon all of our meat will only come from feed lots.

Figures that the Commie fags want the Mexican wolf in Arizona and New Mexico. Normal people would be demanding that the American wolf be "re-introduced." I guess it will go well with the Mexican Spotted Owl that they also had to "re-introduce" in our neck of the woods. Of course, the boneheads "re-introducing" these Mexican things don't have to live here.

Some effects do not translate well to statistics. Cattle raised and grazed on the range know the country and they teach it to their calves.

"They know where the water is, the trails," Todd said. "The new ones don't." That makes more work for ranch hands, who chase down more strays and spend more time guiding the animals to watering holes.

Correct: Soon all of our meat will only come from three corporations.

I strongly suggest to the farmers to get Irish wolf hounds. They will hunt down and kill any Mexican wolfs, and coyotes.
A very impressive animal.

If your dog gets caught, you'll probably be facing fines in the tens of thousands... per wolf.
