Grey Wolves back in the news.

[Farmer Kitty]

I live in the Medford/Chelsea area and I agree the wolves are moving in. There was a pack 2 miles from our place a month ago and I've seen huge tracks in our back field. Theyre a big farm north of us about 35 miles that had a wolf come in there front yard and try to carry there 12 yr old black lab away. The lady ran out of the house and had to beat the wolf off her dog with a bat. Scary especially with my little kids!

Of which state?

I too have young children and it is scary. We had the wolves here bothering the big heifers for a couple nights thankfully they have moved off for awhile again. I'm just hoping they aren't bothering anyone else's livestock and don't bother ours when they move back into the area!

I thought so.

Someone told me that President Obama took the wolf off the endangered spieces list. Has anyone heard anything?
I'm wondering if this is the story she heard. Grey wolves

I read this, this morning...


President Barack Obama has suspended the eleventh-hour attempt by Bush Administration officials to eliminate vital protections for hundreds of wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the rest of the Northern Rockies.

These beloved wolves have literally dodged a bullet. Under the Bush plan, nearly 1,000 of these magnificent animals could have been slaughtered.

But Greater Yellowstones wolves arent out of the woods yet. Officials in Idaho and Wyoming have already signaled their intent to pursue delisting under their existing management plans -- the same plans that would allow widespread killing of the regions still-recovering wolf population.

That's similar to what the link I posted says. I'd like to know where it would hurt their population. Even our DNR admits that the wolves are over populated, meaning more wolves than the wildlife can support. Our DNR didn't even admit they had transplanted them here for several years.

I am sure you know as well as I do, when it comes to any animal, science is thrown out the window as soon as the bunny huggers open their mouths!
They are the squeaky wheels that get the higher ups to ignore us and science to save all the cute little animals!

You're right.

I spent a couple of hours yesterday with a guy that believed saving "ALL" the wolves was a wonderful idea!
Hubby felt sorry for him when he found out that he had gotten me started on the bunny hugger subject!
I was good!
