Another Reason to Remove All Endangered Species Act Protection From Wolves

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - State wildlife officials said they’ve never seen anything like it: A pack of wolves killed 19 elk at a western Wyoming feeding ground and didn’t even bother to eat.
They pointed to the kill as an example of the need to let the state rather than the federal government manage wolves.

 I've been trying to tell people since the late 90's that wolves do this all the time-I've been stalked by the wolf-huggers,had my e-mail acct hacked by them,and had to get restraining orders against several of them who found my home address. 
I've seen this shit in person,many times. It's usually one elk,a cow/calf pair,or a pregnant cow- that means both cow and calf are killed and left to rot.
I've watched several of these kills for weeks-the wolves never returned,never ate even a single bite-they just killed the elk or deer,and left it there.
Most of the time scavengers ate the dead animals-hawks,crows,eagles,coyotes,foxes,saw a wolverine once eating from a wolf killed mule deer.
Point it out in comments on any website- and you get called a liar,redneck,told you just made it up because you hate wolves,been told I would be able to shoot an elk if I got off my ass and hiked more than 5 minutes from the truck-by clueless dolts who have no idea how elk are hunted in the northern Rockies.
I saw most of the wolf kills more than two days by horseback from the nearest road, where we set up our base camp-it was usually another day's hike on foot from there where I started finding wolf kills.




The Wyoming Game and Fish Department can do little to prevent such kills as long as wolves remain federally protected and not under state control, Game and Fish Regional Director John Lund said Friday.
“With the management authority, that would allow us to address isolated issues like this or in other areas where wolves are having an impact on elk herds,” Lund said.
Environmental groups that sued to restore endangered species protection for wolves in Wyoming in 2014 contend that if Game and Fish had control, wolves would be the species at risk. The groups believe Wyoming would allow wolves to be shot on sight in most of the state.
Representatives of Defenders of Wildlife and the Natural Resources Defense Council, two of the groups that sued, didn’t return messages Friday

Here's a prime example of the type of people who make up these animal "rights" groups... 
" Only an uncivilized, marginally developed genitalia, morally, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, financially deficient person, with criminal and sadistic tendencies, who prays on innocence and the voiceless, would consider beating his bodies to the punch by such senseless murder. Obviously, he could not beat his bodies to the punch by maybe finding a cure for Cancer, or feeding the hungry or, helping the needy because he just does not have what it takes to be a man. Shame on him and shame on all who take advantage of their privilege of being part of the mother nature, by killing, raping and maiming animals. And of course, back to the under developed genitalia and having no guts, they can't do it with bare hands and they resort to high power riffles. These are the same people that if they could get away with raping the children and their mothers and even fathers, they would. I bet this Robert BOY has molested a child sometime in his life!"

vitriol from animal "rights" whackos


The killing happened Tuesday night or early Wednesday at McNeel feedground near Bondurant, one of 22 western Wyoming feedgrounds where state wildlife managers put out grass and alfalfa hay to help elk survive the winter. Seventeen of the elk killed were calves born last year.
Wolves eat a lot of large prey, averaging as many as 22 ungulates - elk, antelope, deer or moose - a year. And wolves often kill without eating their prey. But Game and Fish has never documented wolves killing so many elk without eating the animals, Lund said.
“It’s extremely rare in that severity,” he said.
Game and Fish says wolves have killed as many as 75 elk at the McNeel feedground this winter - so many that agency division chief Brian Nesvik wrote to a top federal wolf management official on Feb. 1 asking what could be done.
The lawsuit by environmental groups doesn’t permit many options, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regional wolf coordinator Mike Jimenez wrote back.
“Even if we had authority to move wolves, it is likely that translocated wolves would return to the area within a short time period,” he wrote.
One western Wyoming hunting guide expressed anguish that wolves are taking such a toll on game after being reintroduced to the Yellowstone region in the mid-1990s.
