Wolves Gone Wild

Fish and Wildlife Services continues their one sided management where they will not allow the Catron County Wolf Investigator into a meeting but they do let Defenders of Wildlife in to put out their information.    These tax payer funded salaried employees did not want the truth and the picture display of all the pets, horses and other live stock killed by these wolves being shown to the people that will soon be having newly bred, cage raised and habituated wolves in their yards.  They are working only to protect their jobs.  Because if the new people soon to be affected knew the truth the program would be ended. 

Wolves have constantly been showing up in peoples yards allover and yet little or nothing has been done.  They want the new communities affected to think they are doing something and following the rules when they pick up an uncollared wolf and then just toss it back out into the community to eat their horses, cattle, pets and even endanger your children.  These monkey managers will then show up and say oh you should not live here.

The Silver City Daily Press did a great job bringing out the truth and exclusive methods that US Fish and Wildlife Service is using on the Wolf Program.
Wolf Recovery Program Meetings Conclude

Silver City Daily Press - Orginal Story 

Scoping meetings on the Mexican Gray Wolf Recovery Program have been concluded, but written com­ments may be submitted through Dec. 31.
At a recent meeting in Glenwood, Catron County wolf investigator Jess Carey was denied entrance with a display of pets and animals torn apart and eaten by wolves, according to Catron County Manager Bill Aymar.
“He probably could have gone in, but they wouldn’t let him bring the display,’ Aymar said. “It’s about 10 to 15 feet long, has photos and data about wolf depredations.’
Aymar said he thinks the meetings “aren’t about getting unbiased infor­mation.’
“It’s not about a dialogue; it’s checking off the boxes that meet­ings were held and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife will go ahead with what it planned in the first place,’ Aymar said. “There are wolves out there that we have no problem with. They stay away from humans. A sighting should be special, not something that you have to go to a rancher’s cattle pen to see.’
Calls to John Slown of the Wolf Recovery Program have not been returned.
Comments on the program may be sent to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, addressed to John Slown, New Mexico Ecological Services Field Office, 2105 Osuna NE, Albuquerque, NM 87113.
Written comments may also be faxed to (505) 346-2542 or e-mailed to R2FWE_AL@fws.gov.
One’s name and address must be included with each comment.
The information that was presented at the scoping meetings may be viewed at www.mexicanwolfeis.org.> Questions regarding the scoping process or development of a proposed rule amending the 1998 10(j) Final Rule should be directed to Slown at (505) 761-4782, according to the Wolf Recovery Program Web site.

Big Bad Wolf Scarier When It’s Right Outside By

Two schoolchildren in Reserve say they were followed by a wolf while walking from their bus stop to their home about a half-mile away. Because of that and incidents of attacks on pets and killing of livestock by the reintroduced wolves, Reserve Independent Schools Superintendent Loren Cushman decided to wolf-proof school bus stops. Some proponents of the Mexican gray wolf reintroduction deride the shelters as a public relations ploy. Others merely dismiss it as overreaction or hysteria. There’s little evidence that the wolves pose any real threat, they argue, and there has been only one recorded case of a human being killed by wolves in North America in the last 100 years. A century of experience with wild wolves, however, may not be the most accurate predictor of the behavior of these wolves. Raised in captivity in closer contact with humans than their ancestors would ever choose to be, they were fed instead of having to hunt down lunch, then set loose to figure out how to live in a different kind of world. These wolves come with no guarantees. Following children could be a behavior rooted in curiosity, not hunger. But it is easy to predict that most human mothers aren’t going to ponder the behavior of wolves if it involves their own pups. Superintendent Cushman said building the wolf-proof shelters, regardless of “whether a person is pro or con wolf,” is the right thing to do. Reserve parents and school officials say they feel better having a safe place for kids. It’s their decision to make, and it’s not costing taxpayers anywhere else in the state anything. It’s easy for city dwellers to mock or discount rural residents anxieties— too easy

WolfCrossing.org do a great job in posting a question for the YouTube.com CNN debates.  It will be intresting to see if their ESA question gets selected and how the canidates answer the question.  For their excellent effort and wonderful education on the wolf program they get my Wolf Award.

Please make sure to check out the video and post comments on WolfCrossing.org.

Release the Mongrel Mexican Gray Wolves

In a recent article by… the author suggests shipping some Alaskan wolves to California to help reduce the beaver problem in Martinez California.

Martinez, Calif., has a wildlife problem: Too many beavers, and nobody wants them killed. Well, almost nobody.
Alaska has a wildlife problem: Too many wolves, and nobody wants them killed. Well, almost nobody.
Is it possible these two problems could be brought together in one easy, perfectly natural solution?
Wolves love beavers.

OK, they don’t actually “love'’ beavers; they love to eat beavers.
And that could be a good thing in this case. Think of it as the perfectly natural way to deal with what the San Francisco Chronicle headlined as the “fate of popular beavers and their damned dam.'’
Bringing the wolves and the beavers together certainly has to beat the alternatives.

“The beaver dam, built right on a recently completed flood improvement project, has grown from three to six feet in height since last winter, putting the town in serious jeopardy of being inundated during winter rains,'’ the Chronicle’s Peter Fimrite reported earlier this month.

For a city to end up flooded by its own flood improvement project would not only be costly, it would be embarrassing. So Martinez has resolved something needs to be done.

“The (city) staff report, made public Friday, says the city should remove the dam and ‘humanely depredate the beavers,’ ‘’ Fimrite wrote. (read the full story)

I must praise this author for not only thinking environmentally but thinking about what is best for California. I grant Craig Medred my Wolf Award for excellence.

The author is right, after all after culling the beavers to only the strong (or that whole population of beavers as happened to snowshoe hair on Ellesmere Island) the wolves will set out on other prey no doubt culling a few radical environmentalists from the human herd. But no doubt the wolves will improve the breed of beavers so only the best live.

This author is on to a great idea that all the Californians that support the wolf program and dysfunctional hybrid Mexican gray wolf program with their donations, get to have a few wolves in their yards too. I think New Mexicans can improve on the Alaskan solution.

Your Alaskan wolves are not ready for the urban environment like our habituated Mexican gray wolves. Why because our half breed cage raised Mexican Mongrel Gray Wolves are much tamer and already have been hanging around human communites into an art form. They are even up on some of their shots…well not rabies but who is counting (those vaccines are bad right?).

So often the Mexican gray wolves even visit our yards leaving our dead and maimed pets or other little presents in our yards. I have heard at the Academy Awards the celebrities love getting gifts. So I am sure they would enjoy the presents that the mongrel Mexican Gray Wolves would leave them.

California celebrities would also be glad to hear about our new thinner elk and how they got there with a type of wasp waist. Might even be the new diet craze called Chronic Wasting Disease which is present now in our elk herds (spred by wolves and other predators) but those poking out hip bones look really sexy.

The habituated Mexican Gray Wolf will no doubt settle into the Martinez and other urban communities of Contra Costa County like they have here in our counties in New Mexico. These wolves are constantly around our homes so no doubt they will be much happier in an urban environment than the northern wolf.

These hybrid wolves also know how to den near homes so California kids will be able to share in the joys of watching the pups grown and slaughter their pets and livestock as is common here in New Mexico. No need to watch the biased wolf documentaries on National Geographic. Reduction of TV time for children another great benefit to these wolves.

Our wolves here are already well acquainted to the use of gunfire, rubber bullets and other hazing techniques so California will no doubt be a safe haven for them. Heck they can just hang out with the gang bangers and do a little tagging like they already do around our homes here. (I could link up the pictures of wolf poop on our porches but I will spare you)

Our wolves here are so tame they are even stalking (oops I mean following) school children home from school. While our Governor (and presidential candidate) Bill Richardson thinks it is wonderful and throws is support to wolf awareness week, I cannot wait to see what they will do in California. Maybe they will create a wolf holiday for the stalking wolf or change their state flag to the wolf.

Here the wolves also have not faired so well having to cross 100s of miles to find communities to use in gathering their food. In California with a much denser population, the mongrel Mexican Gray wolves should have an easier time in finding pets and other food to eat.

I am sure unlike people in New Mexico that understand fully that wolves stalking and encircling children is a prey testing for future attacks, in California they will think the wolves were just curious and wanted to be taken home and cuddled (the wolves were just misunderstood).

One family here has had a pack constantly eating their pets and livestock and has visited them over 27 times in 30 days. No doubt in California they will be charging admission. Then instead of Defenders of Wildlife posters of wolves looking cute on their walls they can see real wolves in action killing their pets. Then we can blame them for letting their pet out for a few seconds to go pee outside instead of on their livingroom rug. Here in New Mexico the blame game is all to popular by goverment officals.

Of course what would California be without lawyer suing when the wolves get aggressive and do what wolves historically do and environmental groups suing to protect the wolves, along with someone else suing to protect the beaver’s property rights to their dam.

With the expansion of the Wolf reintroduction boundaries of the Mexican Gray Wolf program…wolves will soon disperse to California so it is only a matter of time. Lets help them out and send them a few wolves now. I mean no disrespect but I am also not sure your Alaskan wolves can match the spiked up genetics of our Mexican gray wolves.

Donations for private plane transportation now being accepted. After all you cannot expect these expensive ($300,000+ tax dollers per wolf) wolves to fly coach. They must fly Al Gore style.

Small rural county continues to stand up to the goverment that has dumped habituated wolves on residents.  I am proud of the Catron County Commission and of the people of Catrion County never has a county been so effected by wolves only to have additional cage rased wolves released on them.

Looks like US Fish and Wildlife Service consider wolves hanging around our homes, camps, stalking children, and denning on or near our private property as acceptable.  The are warning signs for future wolf attacks on people.
