Gray Wolves in Wyoming Have an Ally

Posted Sep 26, 2012 by Alejandro De La Cruz

Cause leader Carole Altendorf says she’s really excited that more than 20,000 people signed her petition.

At the end of September, the state of Wyoming will no longer categorize gray wolves as an endangered species. CNN noted in a report in August that “‘Wyoming law also allows unrestricted killing of wolves if they are found to be ‘harassing’ livestock or domestic animals, even if wolves are intentionally baited into the conflict,’ said [Earthjustice attorney Jenny] Harbine.” When hearing the news, Cause leader Carole Altendorf grew concerned because wolves would once more become targets of hunters. Inspired to prolong the protection of the gray wolf, Carole created a petition to preserve their status as an endangered species. Since her launch, 20,000 people have signed and she’s planning to submit the signatures to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on September 27, 2012.

Carole believes gray wolves in the U.S. should be as revered as the American Bald Eagle. “I have become extremely passionate about the future of wolves [because] they are a symbol of the American wilderness.” But Carole wasn’t always an animal activist. “I started doing activism work in April of 2012. I started out with the petition site at Change.org. I discovered Causes.com, and found you are the best site to do petitions and fundraisers with.” She worked as a paralegal for over 30 years. When she retired, she wanted to find ways to give back. As a professional writer, she realized she had a talent for communicating with people, and that tools like Causes could help her communicate a large enough scale to affect change. Carole emphasized the ability to interact with likeminded individuals regularly and create a larger community on Causes as a great user experience. By cultivating and nurturing a community through updates and emails, Carole was able to keep enthusiasm for her cause at a high level. And it’s paying off as almost 45,000 people have joined her cause to preserve the wolf’s endangered status across multiple states in the U.S.

Carole will submit her petition signatures at the end of the week and she is confident state officials will take note. If they don’t, she’s ready to keep the pressure on lawmakers in every state where the wolf exists, including Wyoming, Alaska, and Montana. “Tonight I started a new petition: Reverse the Decision to Delist Gray Wolves. The target is the Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service who made that decision. I just looked at it now (8:26 pm Monday), and there are already 28 signatures in 45 minutes!”

If you’re interested in joining Carole’s community, visit her campaign page to see the different actions Carole and her 45,000 community members are working on.

The wolves I think also should be on endangered list they are apart of the echoe system of this earth and one of the most beautiful creatures of the world .

Please protect the American wolves. These animals have been hunted to extinction in so many countries and the USA is lucky to still have a wealth of wildlife in its beautiful wilderness areas. Wolves and bears do not exist in the wild in Britain but I am so pleased that they still roam the earth in another country. Value your wildlife and keep the wolves safe from being hunted.
- Ray
  
  We don’t have wealth of wildlife, just an over abundance of wolves. they are decimating our big game herds. I guess you narrow minded wolf people hate moose and elk, because they are going extinct. we need to thin the wolves out.
  - Jim Mazzarese
    
    Agree 100%
  - thomas
    
    oh ray all you want is more for u to kill, i think hunters and poachers are decimating the herds, you are in there territory – get out
Ninoska

i love the wolfs…

  It’s wolves. IDIOT!!!
  - MAyaca
    
    Perhaps it is not a persons spelling that is the issue here. I do have to wonder how the wild animals of the forests ever managed to live without mankinds involvement over the thousands of years they’ve been around. Everyone has their passion, yet people seem to be very mean towards those who would want to help the wolves. Kind of makes me wonder who actually needs managed the human who kill to just kill, which is the same thing being said about the wolf – who also kill to eat – like mankind does, people kill people – wolves kill wolves. Wolves die from starvation, disease and weather conditions ( another term for population control ), and are hunted. People also die from these same things. So which preditor needs managed the most. Managing wolves is one thing – massacering them is a whole other ball game and mankind is known for doing just that – wiping out entire populations – remember the A-bomb, wiped out everything – men – women -children-trees-all wildlife- All Life Period. Just Sayin.

I’m sure some of you who are following this issue are also aware of the Defenders of Wildlife’s Campaign to stop this from happening, but for those who aren’t here is the link to their website for updates & to follow their Campaign as well.

There are more humane methods of population control, they tag wolves to study them they can also spay & neuter them to control the population. We really do not need another reason to shoot any animal or human. There are firing ranges for practice shooting.
- George
  
  Tenfeet, I don’t think you are getting the big picture here,
  wolves are eating our wildlife herds, not making whoopee to them!
  - Mark
    
    But it’s not their fault as their habitat are continually being destroyed for farms and land such as yours. They need food don’t they?
  - Doug D
    
    You know that there have been experiments using a recording of a rival wolf pack that farmers have used witch seems to work to keep wolves from attacking livestock. …. just an option over killing them and that way everyone can exist together happily.
    - George
      
      Too bad somebody wasn’t walking around the northern
      Yellowstone elk herd with a boom-box spouting a rival wolf pack’s howls, you
      know, before they were all dead.
      - Doug D
        
        I agree .. cycle of life can be rough foe all animals. But there other options besides having open season on wolfs….
  - thomas
    
    george –there not your wildlife herds – they are the countries – which means all of ours -you ignorant greedy pig. how many do u poach- none right – liar
    - George
      
      Watch it Thomas, your IQ points are leaking out and I think
      I stepped in, nope, that was a public land cow flop. I would say that the odds
      of you sneaking a public land cheese burger or wearing public land leather boots
      (or… should I get into public land petroleum products? Na, that is for a
      different thread) is far greater than my ever taking an illegal animal. That
      has never and will never happen. By the way, do you know how many billions of
      dollars hunters provide each year for public land wildlife and ecology? I would
      sure like to sit here and debate public land use with you but I need to backpack
      some supplies into a public wilderness area where my friend is trying to
      harvest a very public mule deer. Just for curiosity’s sake though, what about public
      wolf predations of privately owned livestock on privately owned land.
  - Suz
    
    You built your ranch on their indigenous home
  - Gary
    
    I believe he is saying that less wildlife herds will be killed if there are not so many wolves. So we spay/neuter to reduce possible offspring. Dont forget that before people started caring this is what these animals did and it kept other populations down. First it will be the wolves, then the deer or elk. People need to butt out of wildlife altogether. We are the problem not the animals. are we going to punish these creatures for what they do naturally? Might as well start sniping people for taking a shit too, after all we are over popuated too.
- http://www.facebook.com/iman.tawheed Iman Tawheed
  
  I agree, well said. We should use the most humane means possible. Beautiful animals, let’s do our best to preserve them.
- http://www.facebook.com/roysegroup Earl Royse
  
  Tenfeet: Why on earth do we need “firing ranges for practice shooting” if we’re going to “spay and neuter” and not “shoot any animal or human”……………..What do you suggest we shoot? (Admittedly) beautiful wolves are destroying (for food and “fun”) BEAUTIFUL, edible wildlife HERDS…………….they aren’t fucking them, they’re killing them!!! Why don’t you tree huggers get it?
  - George
    
    Well said! But you better watch out Earl or Thomas will call
    you bad names. Bwahahahahaha!
http://www.facebook.com/people/Paul-Yoder/100000516465636 Paul Yoder

anyone that sees the damage that a pack of wolves can cause to other wildlife and domestic animals, including pets, would NEVER see anything positive in fostering wolves.
walf

So if they delist the wolf and they expand greater than they have; what does she propose when they devour the game that hunters take to feed their families and those animals become extinct? I bet she believes beef is manafactured!
George

If Bald Eagles were decimating other wildlife populations, ranchers
livelihoods and making it unsafe for children to wait outside for the school bus
then their population would need to be controlled as well, revered or not! What a silly
comparison!
- thomas
  
  george – your kids where approched by wolves while waiting for the bus? and if this where remotely true bring them to the bus in your car, you live with wildlife,YOU NEED to adjust or MOVE……….

Wonderful work and all power to you. I have a wolf tattoo on my arm which empowers and strengthens me. The problem for wolves is man, not the other way round. They are beautiful creatures, and from the UK, I wish you every success with your campaign.

ForAnimalRights

Anytime a wild animal is a inconvenience to man, it’s always to kill it. Ranchers who lose their animals to a wild one then fence in your property. If you’re concerned one of them may lose its life to a wild animal, then you might as well kill all the animals that are a threat to your livestock that’s the answer right? These animals have every right to be on this planet. As far as all the hunters, I am sure there is a lot of trophy hunters out there who make me sick! It is one thing to kill a deer and use it for food, but not to have it or any other animal stuffed so you can brag what you did.
- daddydigs
  
  You have obviously never been out of the city. Can you eliminate crime, neither can you prevent a wolf from getting into livestock. Don’t eat anything from the grocery store since you do not support farmers and ranchers.
  - thomas
    
    daddydigs, i’ve been all over hiking and camping, the wolf lives in a very small area now compared to what they used to inhabit, we need to leave this small space for them – no rancher or farmer should be in this area, and use OUR public lands to let them graze, and seeing that it’s our public lands i don’t give u permission to use it, and i’m going to let the dnr and the politians know this, and if enough people do the same you’ll have to move.
thewheel

I think you people are sick if you think for a minute we need wolves and you should have a dozen or so in your back yard with your pets!! You need to see the cattle and wild life after the wolf attack them and eat while they are still live and then leave them to die slowly.
- Tiredofboredpeoplewithoutfacts
  
  So many times they will be eating the elk calf as the cow is trying to deliver! Take that visual as you paint such a “majestic” picture of your wolf!
  - Tiredofboredpeoplewithoutfacts
    
    (Not you thewheel) Obviously you understand!
  - thomas
    
    that’s nature loser – it’s how its been done for hundreds of years, how about when you blow a hole in them or if your shot wounds them and they suffer a slow death, get a clue the elk are not yours = moron loser hunter
    - Tiredofboredpeoplewithoutfacts
      
      Wrong!! More mis-information! Some duma** thought they should reintroduce wolves here into Montana/Idaho….but they were never here to begin with…just a small size & breed. Now we have huge hybreds that run in huge packs unprecidented in size & kills….NOT natural! Again, people getting involved trying to change nature, thinking they know better than nature. I get a kick outta people going to the store buying meat not realizing how that gets there and what the animals go through. Hunters are some of the best stewards of nature. Yes, I hunt, have good kills, a great understanding of nature & respect….and I am a female with Indian heritage.
      - Tiredofboredpeoplewithoutfacts
        
        Oh…and also please tell me how for hundreds of years how others got their meat….drive through Arbys?!?!
      - thomas
        
        where did u get your information – the grey wolf was hunted in montana in 1884 and 5000 wolves were killed the first year, they where wiped out of Montana completely by 1931, and what do u mean hybred wolf, they may be canadian wolves = so what. so change your sign in if you don’t have the facts
- thomas
  
  thewheel hmmm where u standing there watching this – and cattle shouldn’t be in wolf country, how about you and your cattle move where there are no wolves – i as an american cherish wildlife – and it’s moron hunters like you that think it’s your right to eliminate them. well it’s not your right and if enough people realize this and sign the petitions then the politians are going to have to listen..
Guest

Unreal- another person without their facts! So dramatuc as extint as they kill the other wildlife, kill for fun, take family pets right off their porches. Wolves only eat 1/2 of what they kill, the other wildlife they kill for sport! Wish these bored people thst want to give back: learn their facts, keep the drama fot Hollywood or just help in a soup kitchen! If they would due dilligence & talk to people, maintain moderation, educate themselves, even look at pictures of what wolves do to other wildlife for sport….maybe they would deal with reality than Disney!
- thomas
  
  guest – first learn how to spell..and u need to get YOUR facts straight, wolves don’t have a big gun to use to down an animal they NEED to survive and feed their young.
dan

I dont know where you are from . but you are not here watching the elk herds go down and the moose almost disappear they kill every moose they find and some times they even eat them but they do one thing for sure they kill them or most of the time this CANADIAN GREY WOLF eats their pray to death. many times they eat all they want then they leave to let the animal suffer a long aganizing death. So much for your wolf. You need to learn the facts before you try to run real peoples lives. We live with these monsters every day.
- Smart One
  
  I am sure she has researched the facts! Animals normally kill for food to survive or to protect themselves or family. The lion down to the smallest insect kill for survival. The most intelligent species on this planet, the human lie, cheat, steal and yes sometimes kill their fellow human. Oh! sometimes it is for pleasure. So my question is, ” WHO IS THE REAL ANIMAL”?
- thomas
  
  dan… move — this is a big country. leave the wolf a small space to inhabit, and yes small compared to humans territory. and lets not forget how many elk and moose are hunted and poached by humans or killed by the cars we drive. get a good arguement then comment…
ANIMAL LOVER

You people who say the WOLVES are destroying ELK and Moose herds,you need to do a study,ELK herds need to be thinned out and CARIBOU oh my they too are plentiful.The way the WOLVES have been SLAUGHTERED is WRONG,they have been taking out whole PACKS at a time,gone,never to be replaced..We should have MORE HUMANS on BIRTH CONTROL,because there are so many people out there who don’t take care of their OFFSPRING…WOLVES do you IDIOTS.
- daddydigs
  
  The wolves need thinning also, and you should not be allowed to reproduce.
  - Wolf Lover

- Texas Longhorn Breeder
  
  For all you bleeding hearts, It’s a shame your parents didn’t use birth control in your case. Maybe you would like some wolves in your community around pets and children. After all wolves probably inhabited the land your home sits on. Let them have it back. We can’t afford to keep losing our livestock to overpopulated wild wolves, coyotes or supposedly sweet loving domestic dogs your kind keep dumping out on our property to go back to nature. Unfortunately we either take them in or have to destroy them for killing our livestock as well as our pets. Bleeding hearts cause much of the problems you cry about. How bout you go out and spend some time with a rancher who helps feed you that is being devastated by your beloved wolves. Maybe camp out alone in “their” backyard some night among the livestock they love to eat. Maybe you could dress up like one of them and talk about how terrible we ranchers are. As part Native American I love and respect all animals; however I also realize that things have to be controlled to keep nature in balance.
  Too bad your parents didn’t do some type of control. Just saying.

I will not and refuse to reply to your idiotic comments until you learn to read correctly instead of reading into something that isnt in the content of my statements. I truly believe you owe all of us an apology, so get some B—-S and be a MAN!APOLOGIZE
      - thomas
        
        if your supporting this wolf hunt i will never apologize, i have some land and found 8 deer on my land and my neighbors land shot and just hind quarters taken, hunters trespass on my posted property every year. you hunters are greedy and think you have the right to hunt and kill whatever you want. once again cattle should not be in the area with wolves and public land should not be used for cattle grazing. space has to be designated for wildlife and let them be.
shelby

I love dogs and I know dogs are decendents of wolves but to let them run wild again is crazy.I am sorry unless we distroy all our cities and bulldoze subdivisions and eliminate over 3/4 of our population we cant turn back the hands of time. By hunting wolf we just might save them.
Tired of Morons

For all you bleeding heart, politically correct morons that think the wolves and the mountain lions are not a threat need to actually find out the facts and leave places like Wyoming and Montana out of your idiotic plans. Wolves have two litters a year, with up to 8 pups per litter. When male wolves mature they are chased from the terriory to find another. They don’t stay on national forest or in national parks and they hunt the easiest prey–i.e. cattle, sheep horses and pets. Mountain lions will stop hunting game one they have hunted domestic animals or people because they are much easier prey. If you all love they animals so much, how about you get a pack and put them in your back yard, or better yet, let’s turn a few packs loose in central park.

The Grey Wolf has never been endangered. Ever! Populations
are getting grossly out of balance in Alaska, where trapping and hunting is a
way of existence, since they were forced to discontinued their poisoning policy.
There are huge regions with tribes of subsistence hunters with no game other
than predators to subside on. I doubt
this Wyoming hunting season that so many of you are so worried about will make much of a dent
in the Grey Wolf population, it is too little too late.
- thomas
  
  hey george, this is a greedy rancher thing, cattle do not belong where wildlife live, and yes they have been endangered or they wouldn’t have been put on the endangered list. it takes a certain number to sustain a species do to diseases and injuries ect.. it’s small minded thinking like yours that is ruining this country..
  - http://twitter.com/gllg55 Gayle Gibson
    
    They are ONLY endangered in specific areas. Not endangered in Canada or Alaska! Know your facts and get a grip on the fact that most ranchers are not greedy nor are they wealthy…if they are it’s because they inherited the business or they went into ranching already wealthy. A lot of land does not equal wealth…can often means land poor. They work long hard hours and could not continue working the land if they didn’t take care of it. As in all groups of people there are exceptions.
    - thomas
      
      gayle was i talking about canada or alaska ? you get your facts straight – these ranchers are using public land to graze their cattle and do not take the right or enough precautions to prevent wolves from attacking their cattle – i’ve also heard that if they have a sick calf they’ll put it in harms way so they get a check for it from the dnr.

I have a Canadian Grey. He is the best pet I have ever had. Certain types of wolves are endangered. The Red Wolf McKenzie is so close to extinction that you can’t find a report or a siting of one in the wild. They are amazing creatures that are poched for their fur. I understand that they get into people’s stocks but there’s a better way than killing them. Tranq them and have game and fish take it from there. I know it’s hypocritical of me of saying don’t kill them because my job as an infantryman in the army is to take lives. But wolves are amazing animals and my wolf is a sweet boy when I see a dead wolf it’s like seeing my best friend killed for doing what has been naturally done in the wild before humans were ever created.
Sylvia

I live in Wyoming with the wolves and grizzly’s. I think they should wander around in your back yard, then we would see how much you would like them. They are beautiful animals but they have no fear of humans. Have you seen what they can do to a human being, or how they are killing off our Elk, Deer and Moose herds? Then on top of that they kill livestock which is how a lot of people make their living. So move them to your back yard and see how much you still love them.

  sylvia – agaIn you decided to live where they live, if you can’t handle it – move, and blaming the wolves and bear for diminishing elk and moose herds are not true – i just read an article that the moose and elk contracted a disease and that cars hitting them along with POACHING is the problem not the wolf..or bear. again people’s hate for the wolf leaves you misinformed and ready to kill them all AGAIN.

Charles Bradshaw

I happen to love wolves also and have always wanted one of my own to raise,
but I understand that they also cause cattle farmers problems and also cause
other wild life problems, seems to me everybody is forgetting who caused this
problem to begin with, it was our forefathers who built this country, and the
main reason was for fur, it wasn’t for food in most cases, and yes the balance
of our existence needs to be preserved, but the wolf in a pack are a threat, as
is the lone wolf trying to gain territory, we don’t need to kill them all, we shouldn’t
half to kill any of them, but, as stated before we caused the problem and the
only thing to do is find a way to fix it, such as with the deer, they put a
limit on killing deer, and now they are populating neighborhoods like a pack of
wild dogs or should I say wolves, so we take the over population of wolves and
turn them loose in the neighborhoods ware the deer are running wild, I think
not, I think they should be monitored and control, but not to the point of
extinction, but to the point of existence as they run in their packs, we shouldn’t
stop them from living only to exist, but control their existence so we can all survive,
we caused this they didn’t, and the deer running wild in neighbor hoods and
parks, weight until someone’s kid gets trampled by bambi, their needs to be
some control, just not certain death or extinction to any species of animal or
human. the human race and expansion of our existence has taken up so much land
and property, it isn’t even funny, but it is the truth, look at the cities your
forefathers built, they are falling to ruins and all we do is keep moving
further out instead of building over, St. Louis for example, used to be one of
the most beautiful cities in the country to drive through, now all you see are
old building that are falling apart, windows boarded up, burnt rubble, it’s a
shame but nobody really wants the old or to fix it, they just want to push it
aside and forget about it just to have the new.

it isn’t the animals fault we hunted them to almost extinction, it is ours,
we closed in on them and still are, even after almost killing them all, their
does need to be a law for the amount that are killed each year, and yes, if a
rancher catches one killing his cows, he should have the right to shoot it, but
not the right to kill one just because he sees one.
Montana cowboy

Living in Montana, I have first hand the plight of the cattle rancher, losing millions of dollars due to the Wolf’s killing of there herds. Being a hunter, I have witnessed our Elk herds decline, by the increase of Wolf packs & their killing. It’s not only the young,weak, or ill animals that they target, they are a very smart hunters, by the number & tactics in which they hunt. Elk,Deer & other game fall victim to these killers.
Please do your research before you put your name on this cause angel list. Just read what the others in the know are writing here.

Some people take things like a “balance and check” program to the extreme, especially when a bounty is ordered or an animal, such as the wolf, is removed from the endangered species listing. The wolf, having been tagged with the man eating monster or the BS “Red Riding Hood” syndrome, will most certainly seal the wolf’s fate, and quickly. Then we and the future, can read about the one animal that has more family values, a true respect for one another and more intelligent than most humans, on line or in books. No thanks! I seem to have read something about the vicious “Western Jack Rabbit” and the “Indiana mosquito Bat”. They still haven’t recovered after 50 years! Don’t know about you, but having a few more bats flying around eating “West Nile” carrying mosquito’s, would be nice in this day and age.
Nature has a good track record of keeping things in balance, people tend to only upset that balance, while at the same time creating a new problem to deal with!
WOLF

THE FACT IS WE HAVE SPENT 300 YEARS KILLING WOLFS, WE HAVE A PROGRAM TO SAVE THEM AND GIVE THEM A CHANCE, WOLFS BRING BACK BALANCE. THE AMERICAN INDIANS LOVE THE WOLF TO BE FREE, IF THE WOLFS KILL ANY DOMESTIC ANIMALS THE GOVERNMENT WILL PAY THE RANCHER FOR THE LOSS.
ALL YOU SICK HILL BILLIES OUT THEIR THAT LOVE KILLING WOLFS ARE NOTHING MORE THEN SICK LOSERS, I AM NOT A TREE HUGER BUT YOU LOSERS ARE NOTHING.
WE DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO KILL JUST TO KILL BECAUSE YOU LOSERS LOVE
TO DESTROY.

  Wolf, take it easy. I need everyone here to relax and take a breath. Wolves in the wild are sustainable but have to have their numbers controlled or I assure you (Not if) when a wolf pack takes a small child off a rural school bus stop in the morning thinking yum an easy meal, the wolves will lose all the support from the middle.

I disagree with this. Come eat my cattle, pets, or get too close to my children and the animal will be put down. This may be a majestic animal, and they are very beautiful in the wild. BUT

Once it attacks my “family” I have no respect for it. Rifle or pack of Rottweilers/Doberman trained to hunt, it/they will be put down.

You liberals amaze me. You’d rather die waiting on the law than protect yourself. You should be ashamed of your selves.

  acprokeith, get your facts, there have only been 2 reported attacks on humans from wolves in the last 100 yrs, if your not comfortable living with wildlife then move to a safe place, the wolf was there before you or any other human. please leave – the country if possible..

Let’s not forget that the imbalance in nature was created by HUMANS and noone else! Yes, predaors can cause a lot of damage, but think why that is so. Humans keep destroying their habitat, humans keep taking their food, humans keep going into their homes (i’m not saying you shouldn’t go out hiking, i’m just saying it should be at your own risk and don’t blame the animal for seeing you as a threat of a part of the food chain, which you actually are), humans keep making their home into breeding grounds for cattle (cattle = easy food for wolves and mountain lions), etc. So, bottom line, we may see wolves as a problem just and they may really be one, but they are secundary to the biggest problem on the planet which is HUMANS – out greed, egotism and self-centerdness make us the only creature capable of destroying our planet. Predators are an extremely important part of every ecosystem and humans are not (we have our own manmade ecosystem – cities – and we can’t even manage this one). Don’t disrupt the balance of nature or there will be no end to the problems we have to fix. So, please people, don’t yell and call each other names, and start thinking of a solution that will benefit all of us – humans, animals and the whole planet! But this is only my oppinion so please respect it and don’t call me names just because you don’t agree!

  the solution to this is tell the dnr to stop giving OUR public land to ranchers to graze their cattle in wolf country, we all need to take some time out of our busy lives and make a phone call, e-mail or write a letter to out politians. the wolf pack in washington was killed because of a lazy rancher and the dnr, these wolves where collared and could have been tracked if they where getting close to the ranch or the rancher could have used mules or recordings – he chose to do none of these. contact your politians people and sign the petitions

  misa, you are totally right.

Carole, Do you live with the wolves? Let the people who do make the decisions. Many of them have lively hoods that suffer as the result of wolf kills. I bet that if the wolves ate your little dog you would change your tune.

      to all wolf haters/ranchers/hillbilly hunters i plan on retiring up north and i will cherish the wolf /bear /elk and deer – i will also respect their space and take precautions knowing that i’m living in a shared space. again if you can’t take the precautions then move south where there are no wolves.
      - NordopiaHills
        
        No,I’m not moving down south due to animal rights whacvkos,or enviro nazis,or anything else forced on the people who actually live in the areas by those who live in the big cities,or on the coasts.
        Hunting is the most effective wildlife management toll there is-the gray wolf is NOT an endangered species,there will be hunting seasons for wolves-get over it-after more than a decade of lawsuits brought by all kinds of animal “rights” whackos-the issue has been resolved-the states will manage the wildlife in their own states as they see fit-NOT as the animal rights and enviro extremists see fit.

hi carole get in touch with Actor Anthony Denison of The Closer and now of major Crimes he loves the Mexican Gray Wolves i am pretty sure he would join your fight for the wolves if he has not done so by now

I live in Wyoming, and the damage caused by the wolves is extraordinary! Do you know wolves kill for fun? Just something to do when they are not hungry…..do you know that the damage done to the moose is unbelievable…..A moose cow only calves every two years, and a baby moose is extremely vulnerable, much more so than fawns and antelope, because of their long legs….they are more clumsy than other animals….And the wolves take their toll. When the wolves were reintroduced, it was done so with the idea they would be monitored,and only allowed to roam in certain regions… That has long since changed, and there are way to many…..Forget the poor rancher trying to make a living…..his calves are just more fodder for the wolf….Wyoming has always done a great job managing the hunting in the state, and they will continue to do so….even the wolf kill will be carefully counted…Oh, one more thing, they certainly take out buffalo and elk babies……Oh did I forget to mention a few big horn sheep lambs………..

Those of you that do not live in Wyoming mind your own damn business you gorper/tree huggers,The wolves have depleted the elk herds and have been brought down by wolves and left to die and food has been wasted, I have done a study in the hunting area that i hunt Mr animal lover so piss off you idiot you have no clue.So if you assholes don’t live here in Wyoming then shut the hell up and worry about your state, I enjoy our wildlife and we should have the right to control the wolf herds.How about we load them all up and drop them in your back yard where ever you live then you can take care of them. People like you bleeding hearts thought that the wolves planted in Yellowstone park would stay there! well you were all idiots for thinking that and again should of minded your own business so stick your petition up your ass Carole Altendorf

Woves are a natural predator and like many predators they help to keep the herds of the animals they hunt healthy. They kill only the sick, old, and infirm. Those that cannot stay with the herd. It is wrong to kill out any animal in such dispassionate and disgusting ways. Wolves and other wild animals need to be protected so that the Earth will once again become healthy.
Wolves Voice

Scapegoated? Poisoned? Murdered under probable false accusations? Why is the wolf always blamed for humans ill will?! I have grave concern that the recent killings of the Wedge Wolf Pack 9/27/12 by the WDFW was not fully investigated for just cause for example, a young wolf was found dead on the Diamond M ranch. Referenced here: (“WDFW began to lethally remove wolves from the pack in early August, as its pattern of predation began to escalate despite non-lethal efforts by the rancher and the department to prevent the attacks. A WDFW marksman killed a non-breeding member of the pack on August 7, and about two weeks later, biologists found the decomposed carcass of a young wolf within the Diamond M herd’s grazing area. The young wolf had not been shot, and the cause of death could not be determined.” http://wdfw.wa.gov/news/sep2712b/) Psychologically, it is very telling and inferred in McIrvin’s comments as to what potential action should be taken here, “McIrvin said his losses are so heavy, including lower weight gain and a lower conception rate, that the only compensation he’s interested in is a dead wolf for every dead calf….”This isn’t a wolf problem, we always could take care of our own problems,” he (McIrvin) said. “It’s an agency regulatory problem (with) threats of imprisonment and fines.” Refer to link below, BlueMountainEagle. It appears no autopsy was done on said wolf to rule out poisoning. Of course the body was decayed but this in fact should have been highly suspicious to the WDFW and just cause to do their job as mandated to protect the wolves by doing a more through investigation rather than assuming said rancher was upfront with the claims of the wolves killing his cattle? Furthermore, If this is the case, then, it is also probable that it was a ‘set up’ to make it look like the wolves were killing the cattle. Hence, the Wedge Pack were more likely scapegoat by the Diamond M and/or their cohorts to make it appear the wolves were responsible for the for the dead cattle. Lastly, i consulted with a wild life rehabilitator. and they had said that wild animals do not kill healthy animals. They kill the ones that are unhealthy or dying. PLEASE. This needs to be fully investigated. It is time for humans to stop setting up the wild life and allow them plenty of room to roam and return to their rightful territory.
Another grave concern, why is the Diamond M ranch allowed to have cattle roaming near forested area’s where the wolves territory should be not the cattle? Major adjustments need to be repaired TO PREVENT SUCH KILLINGS WITH NO JUST CAUSE & MORE COMPLETE INVESTIGATION OF THE HUMANS WITH COMPLAINTS AND THEIR MOTIVE OF OPERADI, in order to accommodate the wolf population their RIGHT to return and have territory within at least the range wolves need to thrive and survive. To Protect Wolves it should be Mandated that cattle ranchers are more of a CONFLICT OF INTEREST and should NOT be a likely candidate to rent along forest territory. This in and of itself creates a conflict of interest to the Wolves which are to be protected and now has failed due to these potential OVERSIGHTS coupled with having the preverbal ‘one bad apple’, Mcirvin’s, (Diamond M owner), from threatening the wolves and getting the ‘fear’ in place with other ranchers in the area, as he stated, “McIrvin said there’s no way to protect against wolves on the rough, big timber country range, where he runs roughly 300 pairs of cattle. McIrvin owns a lot of the area and has state Department of Natural Resources leases and U.S. Forest Service grazing permits in the area. Refer to link below: BlueMountainEagle Did Mcirvin, install the specialized electric fencing? “According to the department, state efforts include specialized electric fencing, attaching a radio collar to the pack’s alpha male and maintaining a regular human presence in the area.” Refer to link below: BlueMountainEagle This is a very serious issue where HUMANS ARE THE PROBLEM NOT THE WILDLIFE. Think outside the human condition to explore and make harmony to allow the wild wolves the right to live and not be harassed, intimidated, killed, controlled, and manipulated by self serving humans like the Mcirvin’s, (Diamond M owner) of the World. Continuing to rape and pillage our Sacred Mother Earth and her creatures.
Another, inherent issue of concern is that the cattle rancher is paid for the kill. I do find this helpful in alleviating and to deescalate the issues between the cattle ranchers whom are the ‘real’ conflict in wolves being able to reestablish themselves but the flip side of the coin, so to speak is that this can give a corrupt rancher an ‘out’ and perhaps leverage to lie and blame said wolves in order to be compensated. another idea on addressing this issue is to just pay for the kill without the influence of the cattle rancher needing to make the quota of money no matter where the ‘blame’ may really lie, if you are looking at the narrow human vantage point of perceiving it as blame when in fact the wild creatures are living out their lives in nature and thus have a right just like us humans. Furthermore, if this is the case and the Diamond M Ranch have poisoned the said young wolf than it is highly probable that this same group of possible suspects may have wanted to scapegoat these wolves by killing more cattle to justify the WDFW killing them as it did. It is clear McIrvin understands the protocol which may have served as a loop hole to get his way. McIrvin, said … the only compensation he’s interested in is a dead wolf for every dead calf….” Refer to link below: BlueMountainEagle. McIrvin, “cry wolf” and manipulation of planting the seed of fear in other ranchers concerns over their cattle also serves as an insidious cause to not allow the wolves to reestablish themselves in there rightful territoritory’s not humans. McIrvin’s, “cry wolf” Quote, “McIrvin expects the wolves to spread. “This is our problem today, but in three years it’s going to be every cattleman’s problem,” he said. Refer to link below: BlueMountainEagle. Where is the line drawn? This needs to be further investigated otherwise this is just pushed under the rug, so to speak and more of these types of potential vigilantly corrupted individuals will go to any length to ‘have there way’.

Again, has an autopsy been done on the young wolf killed? and if not, why had it not been done? Changes need to happen for the WDFW to take the responsibility of protecting these wolves and ruling out any potential self interest destructive tactics humans will take to get what they want. There are many questions that are not explained. Needing to know what that the WDFW is taking responsibility to protect the wolves and not letting this case just slip through the crakes to crate another situation of sabotage, killing and potential poisoning of the Wolves. Which, by the way isn’t a federal crime if this wolf had been poisoned? The bottom line the ongoing ‘Human problem NOT WOLF’ with McIrvin has escalated to the degree that he has finally got his way and his satisfaction for every wolf killed to match the cattle has TRAGICALLY COME TO PASS. “McIrvin said… the only compensation he’s interested in is a dead wolf for every dead calf….” Refer to link below: BlueMountainEagle.
It appears there an glaring Oversight to not taking more into account to protect the wolves and create space for their existence as referenced in these said very serious issues as there are here where ‘problem ranchers’ can rent forest property where the wolves live this in and of itself creates and negatively serves to cause a great conflict of interest. If this was taken into account perhaps the WEDGE WOLF PAC MAY BE LIVING PEACEABLE THERE TODAY RATHER THAT GUNNED DOWN SEVERAL DAYS AGO DUE TO IRRESPONSIBLE CATTLE RANCHERS LIKE MCIRVIN WHOM ARE UNWILLING TO WORK WITH REESTABLISHING THE WOLVES BACK AND LIVING IN HARMONY WITH THEM and a failing system where these ‘problem humans’ are not more fully addressed to protect the wolves from being potentially scapegoated, poisened, gunned down and removed once again. This is entirly a human problem with ignorant self centered cowards whom refuse to see past their nose and relize it is NOT all about you!

Wolf Lover

I loved my white wolf who left this earth December 13, 2011. She was a gentle, loving, timid creature. Wolves are predators true but the biggest predator is man. Does this mean we should slaughter them as well. No that is against the law. Maybe ranchers should take measures to protect their cattle without slaughtering beautiful misunderstood wolves. So Ranchers have a hard time, I am the wife of a unemployed (not by choice) WV coal miner.
It isn’t like everyone doesn’t have their hardships but I don’t choose to slaughter one of God’s creatures who have every right to live as well.
John

We live today in a habitat we created. That habitat has very little chance of changing anytime soon. Having wolves back in the woods of North America is a romantic thought. In reality this can be accomplished but has to be controlled and limited if a co-existence of man and animals are going to be a mutual benefit. The right number of wolves will be welcome in the natural order of nature as it is limited today. Too many wolves will defeat the cause for reintroduction. Wolves will avoid man in most cases but will take farm livestock when the opportunity arises. Also our dilemma in Wisconsin is they have over populated the target number set by the DNR and are depleting the deer herd and drastically reducing turkey and other game animals populations. This not only has a very adverse effect on local economies but threatens the survival of other wild animals. Keep in mind wolves have NO Natural Enemies. AND KNOW THIS, THE FIRST TIME A CHILD GOES MISSING FROM A RURAL SCHOOL BUS STOP BECAUSE A WOLF PACK FOUND HER TO BE AN EASY MEAL, WOLVES WILL BE SHOT ON SIGHT BY EVERYONE WITH A RIFLE IN THE WOODS. Every fall deer hunt puts several hundred thousand hunters in the woods. This of course would be illegal and I would never encourage this practice, but it will happen. This is just my opinion.
Petra

Humans build their houses everywhere without taking into account what animals live there and after they live there too they start complaining about the dangers. Woolves lived everywhere first, people came after so people choose for living where woolves live too (like Idaho, Montana, Washington, Wisconsin). And people destroy and pollute everything, wildlife does not. They just eat what they need, people eat much more, look at all the much too big humans here and people are greedy, woolves just take what they need to survive. People does not need meat to stay healthy, woolves do. People choose to eat meat because they like it but it is a choice they have. Hunters who see woolves as competition for eating elk but hey, we have a choice, we can eat fruit, grains, dairy, vegetables, nuts, we can eat rice, etc. etc. and we are not alone on this planet. God creates also bears and woolves and nowhere in the Bible is stated that we are allowed to murder and slaughter them like some humans does. Ranchers are very selfish to build big ranches in states where woolves or bears live and make the choice to let their cattle run free without fences, without guardingdogs like kangaldogs or sarplaninac who have it in their genes to protect cattle so they know they run the risk that some cattle will be eaten but no, ranchers think the world is only theirs, they do not have to protect their cattle and share with other living beings and they just kill woolves or bears. They are are totally destructive so do not buy farmersproducts anymore from these states. i

People seem to forget that it is humans that violate the wildlife’s territory, not them violating ours. They were here first. And without predators who keep the populace of rodents and sick and diseased animals down we would be so overrun we would never be able to keep up. You think the eco-system is bad now, kill off all the predators and see what happens.
Mindy

Wolves are BEAUTIFUL animals…..BUT they kill just to kill and NEED to be kept under control like any other animal. We had a pack living a half mile from our home in town and we can not allow that to happen. Their numbers need to be lowered some then maintained!!
