Wolves Gone Wild

A recent email about the current wolf problems going on this week with many livestock kills and humans being harassed on their own property by wolves.  Yet the three evil monkeys of the wolf management organizations here working together continue to see no evil, hear no evil and report no evil.

So when cattle get killed here, is it tight lipped, no help for the tax paying people. US Fish and Wildlife service report no evil. When wolves are denning near someone’s home and the home owner asks them to remove the dangerous horse slaughtering wolves New Mexico Game and Fish, see no evil. When the wolves are hanging out and howling around people’s homes, Arizona Department of Game and Fish hear no evil and nothing is done.

But all three of these monkeys will write down some evil propaganda and put it out there for people to read. The truth is so slanted and some words can now be considered lies based on their current news and three monkeys handling of wolf management here in the southwest. Maybe they could consider adding a forth monkey of write no evil.

With all these habituated wolves running around, I headed to one of the three monkeys of wolf management “expert” websites had to say about wolf behavior and habituation.  I did not have to look far as “the hear no evil monkey” wolf propaganda website (that would be Arizona Department of Game and Fish) served up a dish showing a typical monkey wolf spin.

Here is an example from the monkey’s website

Wolves can become acclimated to humans if fed, just like bears, foxes and coyotes. Fortunately, Mexican wolf range does not overlap with significant human population centers. However, the potential for acclimation and its related problems still exist at developed and dispersed campgrounds within the Mexican wolf reintroduction area. Once acclimated to humans, wolves pose a higher risk of causing damage to pet dogs, people and themselves.

This evil monkey make claims about proper management and limiting negative interactions or dependencies but it is all lies (oops talk) and no action. They talk about acclimation to people but not how they have reinforced and assisted habituation these wolves.

Where as they claim that Mexican wolf range does not overlap with significant human population centers. But currently we have three different wolf packs howling in people’s yards. I am sure if it was their yard it would be significant. I am sure a mouse or even termites in their home would be significant let alone a wolf howling outside with children in the home.

Nothing has been done by the monkey wolf “managers” to discourage the wolves from hanging around people’s homes and they certainly have not returned any to captivity without more than 3 strikes against them and then only if we are lucky and the stars are in the proper alignment.

The horse slaughtering Aspen wolf pack that attacked near a child is now denning within ¼ mile of private land with a home.

The home owners asked New Mexico Game and Fish to remove these wolves and the agency decided that wolves’ denning within ¼ mile of private land is considered acceptable and not a threat to human safety.

I guess they just could not see the evil here.

It is obvious these wolves are not just acclimated but full habituated and present a serious risk to all people living in and around the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area.

Continuing the monkey management wolf spin on the next paragraph “hear no evil” says

Although a free-ranging Mexican wolf has never injured anyone, they need to be managed like other wildlife to limit the potential for negative interactions or dependencies. Over the course of the current reintroduction project, some Mexican wolves that had become acclimated to people and frequented campsites could not be discouraged from the area, even after intensive hazing responses. These wolves had to be recaptured and returned to captivity. Other wolves that moved to areas near humans experienced extremely high mortality rates and died before they could be recaptured.

How interesting that Arizona game and fish put out this wolf propaganda but they lied by not including the injuries in a biting incident to one of the IFT members. I guess IFT members do not count as “anyone”.  Some of us have claimed they were not quite human.

I wonder how many other attacks or injuries that have been caused by these Mexican gray wolves that is being covered up since they tried pretty hard to cover up this being bit.

The three evil monkeys worked so hard in the bite cover-up they even went so far, as rumored, to letting this wolf bitten woman go this month. So now she is out of the program. I wonder why and what the report no evil spin on that will be.

But the Evil Monkeys stumbled and bumbled as usual. Report No Evil FWS even claimed to the papers there was no bite. The claims shifted as to what type of injury occurred maybe even a scrape. I guess often Fish and Wildlife Services often is all three evil monkeys in one.

Why with all the current habituated behavior we are experience with these Mexican gray wolves the monkeys will not do as they claim and recapture these problem wolves and return them to captivity as they promise in their web propaganda?  I guess they would have do some reporting or seeing of evil.

Of course they have done nothing to remove not only 3 strike wolves (saddle pack), let alone that Aspen Pack horse slaughtering male that the wolf managers promised the press they would remove in January 2007. Ah but they wanted him to stick around to breed with the female. He did then she replaced him with a new alpha male. Let that be a lesson to you evil male monkeys in the program. Since he has no collar no one knows where this dangerous habitual wolf is now. No they cannot even track any evil.

Three evil monkeys and their propaganda machine.

But to make things worse now the wolf plane is not even circling to let people know how close the wolves are to them. See no evil again.

Continuing with reading what the “hear no evil monkey” has to say about safety.

Wolves in other parts of the U.S. also pose little, if any, threat to human safety, unless they are sick, injured or cornered. Dogs, captive wolves and wolf-dog hybrids pose a much more significant risk to human safety, especially if “released.”

It is clear from all these paragraphs that the monkey knows little about wolf behavior and habituation.

I wonder how this statement fits with the re-release of their captive 924 Durango female that is hanging around homes and has already committed not just one but many more livestock kills since being released and dumping her babies as she high tailed it out of the wilderness to her old howling grounds. Of course she is the habituated wolf that bit someone so I am kind of glad she is not passing along those wonderful genes.

The whole line about “captive wolves” just adds to the absurdity of the wolf propaganda.   After all the wolves these monkeys released here were raised and habituated in captivity. Why do you think they are hanging around our homes?

Then there are some pretty solid claims from many of the x-program biologists about the Ghost Ranch and Aragon lines and how there is dog mixed in the breeding. Last I heard that would make them HYBRIDS ergo more dangerious per “hear no evil” website.  Maybe ”hear no evil” did not hear that they were not to report that evil?  But again hear no, see no and report no evil and continue on breeding these hybrids and calling them wolves.

I guess the breeders of these hybrids could also see no dog, as discussed in Range Magazine’s article titled “Gov’ment Wolves or Feral Dogs?”

In 1979 the participants at a Mexican wolf workshop, organized by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS), concluded that the Ghost Ranch lineage wasn’t fit for inclusion in the recovery program. Although the skull of the founding male of the line had inconveniently disappeared from the Desert Museum before it could be analyzed, the workshop participants concluded that many of the Ghost Ranch animals showed definite dog characteristics.

Jack B. Woody of the FWS wrote about the workshop’s recommendations in a 1986 status report on the recovery program: “Wanting to protect the genetic purity of the wolves used as founders for the Mexican Wolf Recovery Program, it was concluded that, for the time being, the only wolves that can be accepted by the program are those that come from the wild range of the subspecies in Mexico.”

Roy McBride, world-renowned large predator expert from Alpine, Texas, recalls attending numerous wolf recovery meetings in which the question was asked: Can we use the Ghost Ranch or any other captive lineage in the recovery program?

“It was unanimous,” says McBride. “They’d looked at all the ones in captivity and decided they weren’t pure wolves. So they sent me to Mexico to catch some real ones.”

This three monkey management is with no sensitivity as our New Mexican Governor Bill Richardson now presidential candidate asked New Mexico Game and Fish to exhibit in managing the wolf program.

“I am reaffirming my support for the effective recovery of Mexican wolves in the Southwest, done in a responsible and sensitive way. Toward that end, I have directed the State Game Commission and the Department of Game and Fish to redouble their efforts to work with all interests to promote healthy wolf populations living in reasonable compatibility with our communities and land stewards in New Mexico . This will take understanding, creativity, tolerance, and mutual respect among all involved. We need your cooperation to find ways for indigenous wildlife species and our ranching communities to coexist. Please work together today to advance those principles and to consider productive next steps.”

I wonder if Bill Richardson knows what his evil monkeys are doing to rural residents or is he the evil monkey photographer master. Looking at the monkeys through the lens and saying lets not really tell them what is going on in New Mexico lets let them see the “hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil” image of the wolf program.   Mr. Richardson also does not see the evil that these habituated wolves are hanging around people’s homes not just ranches.

Either way Bill Richardson is unaware of of the dammage his state employees are inflicting people in his state or Bill Richardson is the monkey master driving rural people off their land in his own evil form of rural cleansing. Do no evil Bill, I guess you missed that class in school that day.

It is common for US Fish and Wildlife to white wash many of their incidents but in an old report I was reading is another walk on the wild side of reality in the Mexican Wolf Program.

from the Mexican Wolf Reintroduction Update October 20 - November 1, 2001

WOLF INCIDENTS (This was inadvertently omitted in the previous report). On September 25 a depredation report was received from the owners of the Pioneer Stables located at Hannigan Meadow. Upon investigation, it was confirmed that a wolf attacked and bit one of their horses in the throat while in a corral. At the time of the investigation, there were no radio collared wolves in the area so we were unable to etermine [sic. determine] which wolf was responsible for the attack. From evidence at the scene, including the bite wound, it appears that the wolf may have behaved in a defensive reaction (i.e., the horse was charging the wolf) and apparently, the horse had a history of chasing dogs. The horse was treated by a veterinarian and is expected to make a full recovery…

This was from a real report…the only correction is above with the [sic] 

Now, let me get the simplistic facts straight here: the wolf was in the horses corral, and the wolf bites horse in throat after no doubt terrorizing the horse. How exactly did these rocket scientist drop outs come to the conclusion that this wolf was defending himself?

I did discover that the horse did recover but the “investigators” did not show up for at least 5 days after the incident occured. Initially they had decided that a wolf did not do this then after the veterinarian’s measurements of the canine bites proved it must have been a wolf that with tracks in and around the corral led to the conclusion that the wolf must have been defending its self give the horses past behavior of attacking dogs.

Give me a break. The people here dealing with these wolf managers could use a break. I do hope this horse recovered fully as wolf bites are hard to heal.

In a recent new article about gray wolf delisting issues in Wyoming, the following concession was made by US Fish and Wildlife services

In recent months, the Fish and Wildlife Service has said it’s willing to relax rules that currently restrict killing of wolves that states say are killing too many other wildlife. Wyoming Game and Fish officials have said wolves are killing so many elk in some areas of the northwest part of the state that public hunting could be affected in the future.

In the beginning you see the “scientific studies” trotted out by US Fish and Wildlife Service said that wolves balance the ecosystem. 

Studies at Yellowstone National Park indicate that wolves support a wide variety of other animals. Ravens, foxes, wolverines, coyotes, bald eagles, and even bears feed on the carcasses of animals killed by wolves. Antelope are swift, elk are alert, and mountain goats are adept at climbing steep cliffs, in part because of the long-term effects of wolf predation. Wolves also help maintain the balance between these ungulates (hoofed animals) and their food supply, making room for other plant-eaters such as beavers and small rodents.

If the wolf balancing the ecosystem was occurring, then why would states think their elk herds were being desiccated as is happening in the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area? 

This is because wolves with specialized killing, spree and sport killing are wasteful of the animals they kill. While this does in some ways support other scavengers, often these animals can hunt for food on their own so they may benefit by the wolf but do not depend on the wolf for survival. So how is this wolf improving ecosystem balance?

In one of many accounts of wolves spree killing online

Jackson Hole, WY March 19, 2002

My wife and I went snow machining up the Gros Ventre last Friday March 15. Saw 4 wolves run across the road in front of us just east of the Red Rock ranch. Stopped and talked to two volunteers from federal fish and wildlife service, one from Maine and one from North Dakota. Noticed elk tracks everywhere. ( very unusual) Asked how many wolves were here? “About 13″ How many elk are they killing? “Three or more a night” (not counting pregnant cows aborting because of being run and stressed.)

Continued up the road, appalled by the amount of running elk tracks everywhere. (They have been conditioned for years to stay on the feed grounds) Stopped at the Goose Wing feed grounds. Pile of about 20 to 30 dead elk (cows and calves) by the road pulled there by elk feeders. Some had small amounts of flesh eaten (10 to 15) pounds from hind quarters, left to die. Others caught by nose. Nose, lips and tongue eaten off and left to die. Wounded and stressed elk laying away from herd, unable to get up. (4 or more)

Threw up—went home—haven’t slept since.

Folks, night after night Canadian wolves are killing (not eating) your local elk herds. Don’t let the elk go the way of the American Bison!!! Stop the carnage before it’s to late! It’s worse than you have been led to believe.

What is interesting is these “wolf studies” often ignore or do not cover results of populations effected or destroyed by the wolf. Besides the effect on human populations and our domesticated animals other species are impacted including elk and deer.  Studies on Elk populations were just started a few years ago in the Blue Range Wolf Recovery area, why were these studies not done prior to the introduction of the wolf?

Wolves do spread disease, as a highly mobile predator traveling hundreds of miles, they are noted for bringing diseases to new areas. Through the wolves spreading of infectious diseases they affect the lives of fox, artic fox, wolverine and coyote.

Rabies is a common disease that comes to mind noted to be spread by wolves and other dog family members.  But there are other diseases as well.  From a paper written by N. Nazarova that has studied and written about wolves in Russia, in his article titled “The Wolf and the Spread of Disease”

Significant damage can be done to wild hooved animals by larval parasites such as echinococcia, cysticercocci, and coenuri, all of which can attack man also. According to data from the Lenningrad Oblast’ during a serious flare-up of cysticercosis not one observed female moose give birth to two calves, whereas in the Murmansk Oblast’ where the outbreak was three times less severe all the moose females had two calves. The same type of situation was noted by Kheruvimov in 1969 in the Tambov Oblast’. There are also reports of the deaths of female moose and female deer caused by echinococcossi and cysticecocci.

In an article from Range Magazine “Groundhog Day at the Wolf Wars” the author mentioned how in talking with Dr. Mech that Dr Mech confirmed how wolves can overtake and decimate the animal population in an area.

I asked him about his study on wolves that had wiped out the deer herd in Superior National Forest in 1975. He said I was absolutely right. I bravely ventured further, “And no hunters were responsible, right?” Right, he assured me as well as the group at the table, and added that the deer herd had still not recovered there. So I sat back to observe the reaction to this bomb planted in the wolf people’s midst. Nothing.

“Aren’t wolves interesting animals? Yes, there is so much we don’t understand about ecology. Do you still return to Ellesmere Island, Dr. Mech? Oh, how wonderful.” Even though he carefully interrupted to explain that the musk oxen and snowshoe hares had also been wiped out there by wolves.

I was stunned back into silence. What good would it do me to remind these people that even Indians and Eskimos trapped and hunted wolves heavily? The facts are either ignored or interpreted to fit the dream world. The rest of the symposium continually reconfirmed my frustrating epiphany that education was not going to work.

In gathering all this information, I cannot understand how this highly mobile disease carrying vicious predator is considered an ecosystem balancer.  To me it seams the wolf has a costly impact on the environment.

Elk and deer can be balanced with proper managed hunting as is outlined in a study on native hunters and the ecosystem balance described at the time of Lewis and Clark. In a blog posting by SOSForests.com.   Is an interesting post on bison in Yellowstone National Park discussing the testimony of Dr. Kay March 20, before the US House of Representatives, Sub-Committee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands, Oversight Hearing on YNP Bison.

In his testimony Dr. Kay states (note I suggest you read the full testimony provided by SOSForests.com)

The natural state of the Yellowstone ecosystem included native hunters, who kept bison and other ungulate populations at very low levels, and thus maintained biodiversity. Native people, not wolves, were the system’s keystone predator. It was not until native populations were decimated by European-introduced diseases and the survivors banished from Yellowstone that bison and elk populations irrupted to unnatural levels.

The reason US Fish and Wildlife Service has said they are willing to relax the rules is because they know as the elk and deer herds decline even more that there will be more wolf pressure in and around homes. Even though many have already been affected by wolves killing our pets and livestock these numbers of affected people will only grow with the opportunistic predator wolf.

US Fish and Wildlife Services has attempted in the past to quiet and divide the voices of the people victimized by wolves in their communities.   As the wolf problem grows US Fish and Wildlife Service must know their cuddly image of wolves and the wolf propaganda machine their careers depend on is in jeopardy.

Growing Number of Scientists Convert to Skeptics After Reviewing New Research

Following the U.S. Senate’s vote today on a global warming measure (see today’s AP article: Senate Defeats Climate Change Measure,) it is an opportune time to examine the recent and quite remarkable momentum shift taking place in climate science. Many former believers in catastrophic man-made global warming have recently reversed themselves and are now climate skeptics. The names included below are just a sampling of the prominent scientists who have spoken out recently to oppose former Vice President Al Gore, the United Nations, and the media driven “consensus” on man-made global warming.

The list below is just the tip of the iceberg. A more detailed and comprehensive sampling of scientists who have only recently spoken out against climate hysteria will be forthcoming in a soon to be released U.S. Senate report. Please stay tuned to this website, as this new government report is set to redefine the current climate debate.

In the meantime, please review the list of scientists below and ask yourself why the media is missing one of the biggest stories in climate of 2007. Feel free to distribute the partial list of scientists who recently converted to skeptics to your local schools and universities. The voices of rank and file scientists opposing climate doomsayers can serve as a counter to the alarmism that children are being exposed to on a daily basis. (See Washington Post April 16, 2007 article about kids fearing of a “climactic Armageddon” )

The media’s climate fear factor seemingly grows louder even as the latest science grows less and less alarming by the day. (See Der Spiegel May 7, 2007 article: Not the End of the World as We Know It ) It is also worth noting that the proponents of climate fears are increasingly attempting to suppress dissent by skeptics. (See UPI May 10, 2007 article: U.N. official says it’s ‘completely immoral’ to doubt global warming fears )

The story on Estrella, the recently widowed Mexican gray wolf, contained a glaring error I wish to correct (“Springs native still running free,” Metro, May 12). Ranchers do not shoot Mexican wolves; they are not even allowed lethal take permits. No rancher has yet to have been accused, tried or convicted of killing wolves in this region. To say otherwise is inflammatory and untrue.

Ranchers have worked within the confines of the current rule published in the federal register — a claim the Fish and Wildlife Service cannot make. When a lethal take order is implemented, it is for one reason only — the wolf or wolves have become habitual livestock predators. This order is carried out by the Interagency Field Team running the program. Ranchers have nothing to do with it and are mere victims, waiting until enough of their cattle are slaughtered that the agency will pay a little attention.

Although the FWS claim each lethal take order is due to a maximum of three dead cows or calves, the standard operating procedure allows the agency to claim multiple kills in a 24-hour period as one depredation or one death. So even three livestock depredation incidents can potentially mean as many as a dozen dead animals. In fact, in at least two separate cases, there have been four kills in a single 24 hour period attributed to a pack, which only led the FWS to claim one strike against the wolf or wolves. This is not in their rule; they simply made it up when cattle kills got so high they had to do something.

These days, the trick is to simply claim the wolf was not a collared animal, so there is nothing they can do in spite of all the kills that are confirmed. And Defenders of Wildlife will not compensate for all confirmed wolf kills in Arizona and New Mexico any longer, because members don’t like the number of wolves that have to be managed for livestock depredation purposes. This is economically destroying families.

I know nothing about Estrella and her family, but I know that FWS is playing fast and loose with the rule, and we ranchers are paying a high price. The media owe it to ranchers to give us a fair shake and not paint us as wolf killers, when there is no evidence or cause to do so, especially when we have acted with good faith and reasonable expectations for nine years without seeing any sign of reciprocation from the agencies managing the program.

I suggest The Gazette read up on the reality of this program, because a rule change is in the works and Colorado is on the radar for released wolves. It would certainly be in the state’s best interest to get with the program.

original story

Silly little blogger trying to be cleaver and poke fun at a congressman’s serious statement. Like a little dog nipping at the heels of reality in his blog story “Congressman Wants to Release Wolves in Central Park?”. This blogger, Luke, thought the congressman was joking but he was not, little does Luke know reality does bite.

This low bandwidth blogger’s brain could not comprehend spending any seek time doing any research on what is really going on out west with the wolf program. I guess Luke was terrified he might burn a few of his 1980s circuit boards. I bet he is still using a cassette tape recorder to store his data. No wonder he is having so much trouble with seek time and storage, have to get that volume just right.

No idea what I am talking about dear blogger, ah that is because you are a wired poser some of us really did the wiring. I will let whirl your disks on that one for a bit. Don’t over heat.

This unwired blogger states the congressman made the following statement

Nothing is more attractive to a wolf than the sound of a crying baby, Pearce said. It would only be fair to visit the same fanged fears on the people of New York City and Washington, D.C

I like this blogger was not there, so I am not 100% sure as to Mr. Pearce’s intention, while 2 millisecond Luke assumed it must have been a joke. I know it was not a joke. Because we live with this “joke” of a destructive wolf program every day.

Like this congressman and I think all people should have to live with what we have had to live with for nearly 10 years. Walk in my shoes for a minute Luke and many your disabled soul will become enabled and even if only connected 10.0 Mbps the message will be clear (if your storage device and processor can handle it).

I can surmise that this congressman was attempting relate what is happening here to how it might be in Washington DC, since DC is part of wolves historical range and the prey base is there. This statement I am sure was to help people like this low baud rate blogger understand what we deal with day to day living with these horrible habituated wolves.

But this bandwidth lacking blogger like others sadistically enjoy taking pot shots at something they think is absurd without checking facts (poor seek time will get ya) or thinking about what if this was happening to them. I guess their souls got lost in a disk crash.

This blogger does not even considered for a millisecond the harassment we live with in the Blue Range Wolf Recover Area every day.

I ask this loose wired slogger, if he asked anyone that has to live with these wolves what it is like with wolves showing up in their yards constantly?

Doubtful since his poor search and seek techniques have already been exposed and are in need of an upgrade. Some reason he thinks it is about cows but it is about public safety as the Congressman no doubt pointed out and as attempting to get people to understand. These wolves are not dogs…they are wolves an efficient and terrifying predator hanging around our homes.

Maybe a few wolves in this blogger Luke’s concrete jungle of a yard harassing him would help this low bandwidth femto understand that we cannot walk out our front doors without these habituated wolves or their handlers US Fish and Wildlife Services or their State Game Official comrades tromping on our private land to protect the wolves not us. How about a 2 strike human biting Durango pack member in your yard. If the female wolf does not bite your fingers off maybe you will still be able to type and continue to publish your joke blog.

Currently, we have the horse slaughtering (the piranhas the Congressman mentioned) Aspen pack denning on private land and using their spring to drink. How about if a pedophile lived next door and then for giggles comes over and uses your kitchen like a convenience store.

Since I know Luke has had a humorectomy, to be clear for Luke that is also not a joke. This is what we have lived with for nearly 10 years, you would not last a week under the US Fish and Wildlife Service Wolf regime.

I think the way our congressman described this is much nicer depiction than what is really going on here. Can you image each day checking your wolf radio monitor (yes we have to be wolf wired here) like you check your email to see what direction you can travel on your property each day when you leave your house?

But since Luke like others do not get the daily danger we are in, I guess they will have to experience it for themselves. That is what the congressman suggested.

I will make it simple for Luke’s low baud transmission.

These habituated wolvesfollow you when you go hiking, they follow ATVs, they hang out in peoples yards, they come into camps, they come near children, they attack near children, they attack and kill dogs, the slaughter little girl’s beloved horse, eat the fetus only out of an elk leaving the cow elk to die, they rip baby calves out when they are being born and then tear the milk utter off the mother cow leaving her to die. All documented in photos so you cannot be mislead by disneyesque view of wolves. Not to mention spree or sport killing.

Since I know Luke has a seeking problem (besides the humorectomy), here are links to articles on attacks and kills of people in North America by wolves.

Luke, if you still think this is a joke, I have a few choice places for you to camp or a few front porches for you to sit on. Not to worry when you get attacked or harassed, US Fish and Wildlife Service will claim the wolves were uncollared and it was your entire fault.

Here are the rules of engagement just you are clear on the rules we live under. Your dog is a free kill. I will let you think about the act of biting and what that means. Welcome to getting connected the real world.

Others like SOSForests have no problem with their seek time nor their decision tree algorithms, as SOSForests improves on the congressman’s suggestion. I am sure this blogger did not have to branch too far to come up with this suggestion being that he understands what is really happening out west. My only upgrade to SOSForest is to toss in some members of the press, wolf supporting environMental groups, and one loose wired low bandwidth blogger named Luke O’Brien.

This blogger, Luke O’Brien, is now the newest members of the Apathetic Press (AP).

So Luke if you have upgraded your database storage on this subject and now feel bad that you just did not have the capacity to understand and now your soul has been rebooted, if you would like to redeem yourself, print a retraction and donate to help pay for Maggie’s vet bills. After all if you support this wolf program you should help pay for the program.

Maggie is an adorable little dog and after being attacked and nearly killed by wolves protecting her child’s play yard just outside her front door. She can no longer chase a ball or stick as she will never be the same. What if the child had been out in the play yard when the wolf charged in and attacked Maggie? We have already had a case were a dog intercepted when a wolf charged in on a child.

This program has greatly affected our lives. That government that has forced these wolves upon our yards and homes should have to live with these wolves themselves. Thank you Steve Pearce for supporting the people that live in your district.

Wolves in Russia unmasks the Disneyesque view of wolves propagandized in the U.S. Wolves is a stunning, fact-laden account of pandemic and devastating loss of livestock, game animals and human beings from wolf predation. Any open-minded person who reads this book will grasp that wolves are a severe threat to our way of life in Montana, and to the people who live here. It is impossible to deny the centuries of recorded wolf predation impact documented in Wolves in Russia. A Russian proverb from the book: “Wolves are not killed because they are gray, but because they eat sheep.”Now Published

Sometimes it just shocks me what some people will believe. Maybe this is how cults stay in business.

Besides kissing with wolves (How to get to First Base with a Wolf) there are actually people that believe wolves are good neighbors as shown in a recent post on SOSForests.com.

I always wonder when and where they people joined the Wolf Cult. I am not sure what kind of deprogramming they need but facts do not seam to work.

A simple internet search will provide evidence of many human wolf conflicts including documented by the Alaskan government. Maybe in joining the cult their ability to type certain key words into search engines has been affected.

Mike who runs the site was right to point out that

wolves are not wonderful animals or good neighbors. Wolves are blood-thirsty predators that attack and kill pets, livestock, children, and adults. Blood-thirsty predators do NOT make good neighbors, and we do NOT “need” to find a way to co-exist with them.

That being said Mike also points out some of the attacks by wolves on people since many people are in denial and think wolf attacks have not occurred.

More wolf human attacks that are referenced in Range Magazine in their Groundhog Day at the Wolf Wars.

 

KILLER WOLVESSince historians seem to be having problems digging up this information, here are a few documented cases of wolves killing and/or injuring humans. Although wolves should not be excessively feared, and wolves that kill humans are very rare, we do need the truth told by someone.         

Research: Scott, Peter A., et al. “Aggressive Behavior by Wolves Toward Humans.” Journal of Mammalogy 66.4 (1985): 807-809; Munthe, Kathleen and J. Howard Hutchinson. “A Wolf-Human Encounter on Ellesmere Island, Canada” Journal of Mammalogy 59.4 (1978): 876-878; McNay, Mark E. “Interactions in Alaska and Canada: A Review of the Case History.” Wildlife Society Bulletin 30.3 (2002): 831-843.

Scientist: Arctic wolf attacks a scientist in Canada (1985—Arctic, Vol. 38, 1985).

Female Researcher: Three penned wolves had to be killed before rescuers could get to the body of a female wildlife reserve employee that the wolves had killed in their pen (1996—The Kingston Wig Standard, Ontario, Canada, April 20).

Trapper and Two Indians: An elderly trapper did not return to the post office as promised, so two Indians were sent to find him. All three were killed by wolves (1922— Port Arthur, Ontario newspaper, Dec. 27).

Negro Man: Two Negro men were attacked in Kentucky by wolves on the way home from visiting girlfriends. One survived by climbing a tree (1851—John James Audubon, “Black American Wolf” in Quadrupeds of North America).

Farmer and Son: A pack of wolves attacked and ate a farmer and his son (1888—The Saint Paul Daily Globe, March 8 ).

Eskimo Woman: She was strangled by a wolf as her husband rushed to her assistance (1829—John Richardson in “Fauna Boreali-Americana”).

Sick Indians: Not only did wolves come into the Indian camps and eat corpses dead of smallpox, but also attacked, killed, and ate the sick (1770—Peter Kalm in “Travels in North America”).

Injured: Several instances of nonfatal, but serious attacks in Canada and Alaska have appeared recently in the news: Algonquin Provincial Park, 1996; Yakutat, Alaska, 2000; Vargas Island, British Columbia, 2002 (The Wolf Society of Great Britain, www.myinternet.co.uk/wsgb/index.htm).

Another extensive source for many of wolf attacks on humans comes from Abundant Wildlife Society of North America. Many of the attacks listed were documented by John James Audubon. In one instance, T. R. Mader, taped an interview of the following wolf attack.

A forester employed by the Province of British Colombia was checking some timber for possible harvest in the 1980s. He was met by a small pack of three wolves. The forester yelled at the wolves to frighten them away. Instead, the wolves came towards him in a threatening manner and he was forced to retreat and climb a nearby tree for safety.

The wolves remained at the base of the tree. The forester had a portable radio, but was unable to contact his base, due to distance, until evening. When the call for help came in, two Conservation Officers with the Ministry of Environment were flown to the area by floatplane to rescue the treed forester.

When the Conservation Officers arrived, the forester was still in the tree and one wolf, the apparent leader of the pack, was still at the base of the tree. The officers, armed with shotguns, shot at the wolf and missed. The wolf ran for cover and then started circling and howling near the two officers. After a couple missed shots, the wolf was finally shot and killed.

The wolf tested negative for rabies. It appeared healthy in every respect, but was very lean. The Conservation Officers felt the attack was caused by hunger. (Taped Interviews and a photo of the wolf on file at Abundant Wildlife Society of North America.)

A full read of the Abundant Wildlife Society of North America list of wolf attacks should be enough to assist in deprogramming anyone that wolves are anything but dangerous predators.

I was leaving one of the wolf meetings. I tend to be very quiet and even hang out with the wolf groupies. I love to hear what they have to say as I find it quiet amusing.

I watched a person leaving the meeting and they tossed a piece of paper that a wolf groupie had given them. My interest was sparked and I just had to see what the wolf groupie had given this obviously anti wolf person.

Pro Wolf Propaganda

I just had to chuckle at the logic here. I added the red box so it is clear where the killer cattle dealing with the non killer wolves live. 

These people really hate cows!

So a few car crashes in our county over 10 years ago equates with cows being killers.   That is the new logic for you.

The wolves here have not only harassed children, hung around camps but also decimated many business some not even cattle related.  Their are no new elk caves in many areas.

Some of these wolves are reportedly dragging the baby calf out of mom when it is being born then ripping the milk bag off mom and leaving her to die.

Yet cattle kill and wolves do not kill.

I wonder in her scientific investigation this wolf groupie looked at the number of crashes due to drugs, drinking or even hitting dogs, trees or deer? 

Logic from the fringe of reality or really good drugs?

It is all in a days work in Catron County, New Mexico. The people that call the County home did not ask to be famous or to have the wolves constantly at their door step. But that is just where these habitual wolves keep showing up. It is common place in Catron County to not only see a wolf but have one in your yard, attacking cattle, killing stock dogs, pets and horses, and even threatening people.

But when federal officials of US Fish and Wildlife service decided to break their own Standard Operating Procedures and release a 2 strike wolf that had bitten someone, they went a little too far. A congressional aid requested the agency stop or delay the release of these risky Mexican gray wolves, and in what appears to be a shocking reaction to that request, US Fish and Wildlife Service released the animals a day earlier than planned.

Now the Feds have pushed the county and its residents just a bit too far. A few days ago Catron enacted its Wolf Ordinance to protect their citizens’ and officially requested the agency remove the problem wolves.

One can almost hear the timber falling in the forests to supply the frivolous tax payer funded lawsuits that are being threatened by self proclaimed extreme environmentalists. More trees are being used by Forest Guardians on this orgy of media outreach to string up a poor rural county, than the trees incinerated in the Cerro Grande fire.

It appears that Catron county is following the rules and that these “wolf mangers” and donation funded environmental wolf groupies are tripping over themselves to not only to get their names in the paper but to claim how this county is simply not allowed to protect its citizens’.

Instead of being on the ground where they are needed to clean up their newest self inflicted Mexican wolf mess, US Fish and Wildlife Service are actually out monitoring a little wolf blog. Your tax dollars are at work in a CYA campaign that knows no bounds.

I talked with the lady that runs this WolfCrossing.org website today and she told me that on numerous occasions in just one day the US Fish and Wildlife Service could be documented accessing the site based on the IP address she was seeing.

She mentioned that US Fish and Wildlife Service had not yet showed up to help people with the wolves or publish the over due wolf flight reports but they had time to monitor her blog. This blogger mentioned that it appeared that US Fish and Wildlife service had been working on a reason why recent killed cattle couldn’t be the Durango pack and passed that information on to Forest Guardians for their press release.

So why are all these government officials and extreme environmentalists huffing and puffing and trying to blow a New Mexican County’s ordinance down? Because the locals were right. The wolves did not stay in the wilderness as the “wolf experts” said they would.

Shortly after this dangerous Durango pack female was released from her soft enclosure she and her habituated mate high tailed it for Catron County. They picked up some other wolves on their way, coaxed them out of the wilderness and had a little killing spree in some cattle.

The cow they picked was pregnant and her calf never even got a breath before it was eaten up, then they went back to the cow that was chased down and killed brutally after or during the time she gave birth.

Witnesses saw the wolves on the cow that matched the Durango pack description. The Durango pack was also confirmed to be near from a wolf flight report on the following day. The day the cow was killed some how the Durango pack could not be located by the “wolf mangers” plane, eventhough the plane flew right over the people standing beside the dead cows body.

After the killing spree, the Durango pair showed up at a family home in the area at about 6 am and spent the morning in the front yard leaving plenty of tracks to prove another eyewitness account.

The resulting cow depredation (kill) report has been spun to attribute the dead cow to unknown wolves in the area. The cow was confirmed to be killed by wolves and because the little calf never breathed during his horrific forced delivery, he isn’t confirmed as a wolf kill.

The two legged wolves are still huffing and puffing at the door but Catron county has built the house out of brick and little red riding hood has a blog.
