Hello, george76. if you recall the original legislation, it said that no more than 200 wolves can be introduced. Further, it was red Rocky Mt wolves that historically populated the area, not Canadian grey wolves.

We shouldn’t be removing protection from wolves, but declaring open season on eco-fascists and eliminating them with a hang-man’s rope.

I’m also surprised that the usual coterie of leftist agent provocateurs here on FR hasn’t been crying crocodile tears for wolves.

There’s other stuff concerning the introduction of wolves in the Rockys I can recall, but I’m heading for sleep. See ya...

Even the discussion of ESA elimination will drive the eco nuts.

The DU Senators are just grandstanding, so little will happen in DC.

The government beaurocrazies made big money importing Canadian wolves and now their management fees.

Agenda 21 is killing the working ranchers

Just like the Mountain Lions of Humboldt County. There are no sheep ranchers left here that I know of...

The ecos have taken over much of the USFS, BLM...and local DOWs.

They invented clever tricks to vacate grazing allotments and thereby kill off longtime family homesteaded ranches and farms.
