| More Dead Mexican Gray Wolves…..Feds Probe Killing of Wolf in Catron County
Friday, December 10, 2010 By Rene Romo Journal Southern Bureau LAS CRUCES — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is investigating the case of a Mexican gray wolf found shot to death last week in Catron County. The wolf, found on Dec. 2, is the sixth to have been found dead this year under suspicious circumstances, though Fish and Wildlife said last week that one wolf, alpha female 1106 of the Morgart pack, apparently died of a rupture in the small intestine after ingesting a plastic ear tag in October. Fish and Wildlife late Thursday announced plans for the January release of a 4-year-old male lobo in southeastern Arizona in the vicinity of the Hawks Nest pack. In mid-June, the alpha male of the Hawks Nest pack was found dead in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest in a case that is under investigation. In July, another adult male from the same pack was found dead under suspicious circumstances. Federal officials said they hoped the wolf slated to be released next month, a male designated M1049, would mate with the alpha female of the Hawks Nest pack, which includes six younger wolves. In other wolf mortalities referred for investigation this year, a female wolf that roamed alone in southwestern New Mexico was found dead in April, and the alpha male of the San Mateo pack was found dead in late June. In the latest death, several people believed to have been involved in the shooting have been identified, said Nicholas Chavez, a special agent in charge of the Fish and Wildlife Southwest region law enforcement. Chavez declined to disclose their names, and he said authorities are evaluating the case to see whether criminal charges are warranted. The shooting was first reported to the Catron County Sheriff’s Department on Dec. 2, and federal authorities were called in. “My understanding is it was a wolf that could easily be construed as being a coyote because it was old and skinny,” said Catron County manager Bill Aymar, who was briefed on the case by a county employee assigned to investigate wolf contacts with residents. The lobo killed last week was identified as a 13-year-old female, designated F521, that had traveled during the past year with two adult male wolves in the northwestern part of the Gila National Forest. The wolf was considered to be at “an advanced age for a wild wolf,” according to a monthly federal report. Wildlife officials expected the wolf recovery project, launched in 1998, to produce a wild lobo population of 100 by the end of 2006, but the count at the end of 2009 was 42, down from 52 the previous year. http://www.abqjournal.com/news/state/102319131944newsstate12-10-10.htm ======= Idaho Plans on Slaughtering 80 Wolves in the Lolo Using the Disgusting 10j rule!! Eye On Boise Fish & Game plans Clearwater wolf kill Posted by Betsy at 3:58 p.m. on August 13 Posted by Betsy at 3:58 p.m. on August 13 The Idaho Fish & Game Department is working on a plan to kill 70 to 80 of the 100 or so wolves in the Lolo elk management zone, and keep that zone’s wolf population at just 20 to 30 for the next five years; with wolf hunts off the table since a federal judge reinstated endangered species protection, the F&G plan calls for officials to do the wolf removal, rather than hunters. “Idaho Fish and Game would prefer to let hunters help manage the wolf population. But until the wolves are delisted and turned over to state management, Idaho has decided to pursue the best option available under the Endangered Species Act,” the department said in a news release. The Lolo zone, one of 29 in the state, is the only one targeted, because of “unacceptable impacts on the elk population by a wolf population that has recovered biologically.” Fish & Game is opening a two-week public comment period on the plan; at the close of the period, it’ll be submitted to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service for final approval. Click below for the full news release from Idaho Fish & Game. Wolf Reduction Proposal Available for Review, Comment The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is seeking public comments on a proposal to reduce the wolf population in part of the Clearwater drainage. The proposal calls for reducing the population of wolves in two big game management units that make up the Lolo elk management zone. Wolf numbers would be kept at about 20 to 30 wolves for five years, while the elk and wolf populations are monitored. That amounts to removing about seven percent of the estimated minimum of 835 wolves in the state at the end of 2009. This wolf reduction proposal is for one elk zone out of the 29 zones that Idaho Fish and Game manages. The proposal is being pursued in an attempt to control wolf predation on elk in the Lolo zone because of unacceptable impacts on the elk population by a wolf population that has recovered biologically. As long as wolves south of Interstate 90 in Idaho remain on the endangered species list they are managed under section 10(j) of the Endangered Species Act. Simply put, the rule, revised in 2008, would allow Idaho to use lethal controls on wolves that are having unacceptable impacts on the elk population. In the Lolo zone, elk numbers have been declining over the past three decades as a result of a combination of degraded habitat, natural mortality and predation. Recent research shows that wolf predation now has pushed the decline to about 15 percent annually, and is keeping the elk population down. More than 140 adult female elk in the Lolo Zone have been radio-collared since 2002. More than half of the animals that died were killed by wolves, Deputy Director Jim Unsworth said. In addition, 86 six-month old elk calves have been radio-collared since December 2005. Sixty-five percent of the elk calves that died in the winter were killed by wolves. Adult female mortality and calf mortality are key factors that affect overall elk population trends. The reduction in wolf numbers in the Lolo zone would not affect overall wolf recovery efforts, Unsworth said. But it may help increase elk numbers. Idaho Fish and Game would prefer to let hunters help manage the wolf population. But until the wolves are delisted and turned over to state management, Idaho has decided to pursue the best option available under the Endangered Species Act. The state has prepared a science-based proposal that details the problem and shows the role of wolves and why their removal is warranted. The proposal has been reviewed by recognized experts, and will be available for public comment for 14 days. Once public comments have been reviewed, the proposal would be submitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for final approval. To read the proposal and to comment, visit the Idaho Fish and Game public involvement page at http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/cms/public/, where the plan will be posted Friday evening. http://www.spokesman.com/blogs/boise/2010/aug/13/fish-game-plans-clearwater-wolf-kill/ =======And Man Created Dog….Watch on Nat Geo, Sunday, August, 8 This sounds interesting…. it’s about wolves evolving into dogs. http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/episode/and-man-created-dog-3136/Overview ======= Grijalva Applauds Fish & Wildlife Investigation of Mexican Grey Wolf Shootings, Calls On Agency to End Threat to Reintroduction Thursday July 22, 2010 Washington, D.C. – Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva, who co-chairs the House Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands, today applauded the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) on its recently announced investigation of the murder of several endangered grey wolves in Arizona. The agency last week discovered the third dead Mexican wolf in the past month and has said the killings are being treated as intentional, which would be a violation of the Endangered Species Act. According to FWS information, the carcass of a male wolf was found northeast of Arizona’s Big Lake within 2 miles of where the carcass of another wolf from the Hawks Nest Pack was found on June 18. The pack traditionally uses the area east of Big Lake on the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests as its spring and summer breeding territory. “This cannot be allowed to continue, and I support FWS’ decision to pursue it with all available resources,” Grijalva said. “There’s a lot of land to cover and not many people to do it. I encourage FWS to make full use of the Office of Law Enforcement to see these killings are stopped.” FWS is putting more food out for pups living in packs where an alpha head has been killed. The agency is concerned that reintroduction of grey wolves to the region is threatened by the killings. The Service is offering a reward of up to $10,000 and the Arizona Game and Fish Department Operation Game Thief is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to the apprehension of the individual(s) responsible for the death of this wolf. Persons reporting information may remain anonymous upon request. Anyone with information that could be helpful in identifying the person or people involved in illegally shooting a Mexican wolf is urged to contact the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s Operation Game Thief at (800) 352-0700 or the FWS Office of Law Enforcement at (928) 339-4232. http://grijalva.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=13&parentid=5§iontree=5%2C13&itemid=680 ======= I wrote about this on July 4 when just one news outlet was reporting it. Glad the word is out! The reward is large. I hope the poachers are caught and seriously prosecuted. If USFWS doesn’t start throwing these disgusting people in jail for a very long time, they will continue to kill wolves. I do not want low life wolf killers calling the shots on whether Mexican gray wolves will finally be recovered. Do you? Why are nine Mexican gray wolves still awaiting necropsy for cause of death? That’s what’s reported on the USFWS Mexican Gray Wolf Recovery page. I hope the info is dated and they’ve caught up on these exams. If so many wolves are laying in storage, waiting to be examined, what does that say about the USFWS sense of urgency? Mexican gray wolvea are the most endangered mammal in North America. All we have left in the wild are 14 wolves in New Mexico and 25 wolves in Arizona, just 39 wild wolves total. The rest of the population lives in captivity, preserving their invaluable genetics, which if lost, will be lost forever. Feds Probe Deaths Of 2 Male Mexican Wolves 1 Found In Ariz., Another In N.M. POSTED: 9:28 am MST July 13, 2010 UPDATED: 8:02 pm MST July 13, 2010 TUCSON, Ariz. — Federal authorities are now investigating the deaths of two endangered Mexican gray wolves, one in eastern Arizona and one in southern New Mexico. Both wolves were alpha males, dominant males in a pack, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials said. The Arizona male was found shot to death on June 18. U.S. Fish and Wildlife officials said he was part of the Hawks Nest Pack that uses the area east of Big Lake on the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest as a breeding ground. The wolf found dead on June 24 in New Mexico was part of the San Mateo Pack. Fish and Wildlife spokeswoman Charna Lefton tells the Arizona Daily Star that the agency doesn’t yet know if he, too, was shot. A third alpha male wolf has been missing since mid-April. It belonged to the Paradise Pack roaming eastern Arizona’s Fort Apache Reservation, the officials said. ======= Wolves in Oregon: Don’t be so quick on the trigger Oregon Yearling Wolf Killed By Wildlife Services 2009 Photo: Courtesy ODFW The Oregonian Editorial Board Published: Sunday, July 11, 2010, 10:36 AM Updated: Sunday, July 11, 2010, 5:30 PM Throughout Western history, it has always been easier to shoot wolves than to live with them. Now, just as the first small packs of gray wolves are getting a toehold in Oregon, it is vital that this state not go back to the old way, the easy way, every time there is a conflict with wolves. There’s just such a conflict now. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife responded to several documented cases of wolf depredation on Wallowa County livestock by ordering the killing of two suspected wolves in early June. Conservation groups filed a federal suit in Portland challenging the kill permits, and a judge blocked the shooting of the wolves at least until July 31.

Members of Idaho’s Fish and Game Commission said Wednesday night they hope the measures will help reduce the state’s wolf population, The Spokesman-Review reported. The decision comes the same week that Montana more than doubled its quota for this year’s wolf hunt. Idaho’s population is estimated at a minimum of 835 wolves, while Montana had at least 524 wolves at the end of last year. Hunting seasons in both states could be halted by U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy. He is expected to make a ruling in a lawsuit seeking to restore Endangered Species Act protections for wolves in the two states. The commission will set quotas for Idaho’s fall wolf hunt in August.

(AP) — The state Fish, Wildlife and Parks Department will recommend a quota of 186 wolves in this year’s hunt. In May, the commission approved quota alternatives of 153, 186 or 216 wolves in 14 management areas and began taking public comment. State Wolf Program Coordinator Carolyn Sime says the agency has received about 1,500 comments in the past two months. That’s up from 75 wolves over three management areas last season. The FWP Commission meets this week in Helena to discuss the recommendations. A quota is expected to be set when the commission meets on Thursday. But the agency says the hunting season could be affected by a pending ruling by a federal judge. A lawsuit brought by environmental groups seeks to restore Endangered Species Act protections for wolves in Montana. http://www.abcmontana.com/news/state/97864774.html ======= Oregon Too Itchy to Kill Endangered Gray Wolves, Environmental Groups Claim By KARINA BROWN PORTLAND, Ore. (CN) - Oregon’s Wildlife Services director illegally issued permits allowing ranchers to kill endangered gray wolves, even though radio collars on several members of Oregon’s only gray wolf pack show that the pack was nowhere near the June killing of six cattle calves. After killing two gray wolves last year, the wildlife service plans to kill two more of the 12 wolves known to exist in Oregon, Hells Canyon Preservation Council claims in Federal Court Oregon’s only gray wolf pack, named the Imnaha pack, has lived in northeastern Oregon since January 2008, when a female wolf from Idaho wearing a radio collar crossed the Snake River and established a 10-wolf pack, according to the complaint. The members of the Imnaha pack are the first wolves to live and reproduce in Oregon since their numbers were decimated in the 1940s. After the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife determined that wolves had killed six cattle calves in northeastern Oregon in May and June of this year, it issued seven permits allowing ranchers to kill wolves “caught in the act” of killing livestock, the Preservation Council claims. Those permits were in accordance with phase one of the Oregon Wolf Conservation Plan, which applies when there are four or less breeding pairs in the eastern half of the state. However, the department also authorized Wildlife Services to track and kill two wolves from the Imnaha pack, even though information from the pack’s radio collars showed that they were in the mountains of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest when the deaths occurred on ranches in the Wallowa Valley. Under phase one of the plan, the only other condition allowing the department to kill wolves is in response to “chronic depredation,” according to the complaint. The department has extended the permits through the end of August, despite a lack of evidence that the wolves are in the valley and even though there have been no more livestock deaths attributed to wolves in the past month, the lawsuit states. The Wildlife Service already killed two gray wolves unrelated to the Imnaha pack last year, the Preservation Council claims. If it is successful in killing two juvenile members of the Imnaha pack, it will have killed four of the 12 wolves in Oregon, according to the complaint. Hell’s Canyon Preservation Council, Cascadia Wildlands, the Center for Biological Diversity and Oregon Wild sued David Williams, Oregon Wildlife Services director and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service demand a declaration that Wildlife services violated the National Environmental Policy Act by issuing the permits without preparing an Environmental Impact Statement or and Environmental Assessment. Plaintiffs are represented by Daniel Kruse with Cascadia Wildlands and Jennifer Schwartz with Hells Canyon Preservation Council. http://www.courthousenews.com/2010/07/02/28591.htm ======= Wolves Earn Reprieve as Hunt Halted Wildlife advocates celebrate short-term victory for endangered wolves In response to a lawsuit by national and state conservation groups, Wildlife Services agrees to temporarily suspend the hunt for two of Oregon’s 14 wolves.

The state has issued, and now extended, a permit to Aug. 31 to the federal agency to hunt, track and kill two wolves across a 70-square-mile area in eastern Oregon. According to the conservation groups’ lawsuit, Wildlife Services never conducted the environmental analysis required to disclose the impacts of killing a substantial portion of Oregon’s wolves. Cascadia Wildlands, Hells Canyon Preservation Council, Oregon Wild and the national Center for Biological Diversity brought the suit, and are also strongly considering suing the state for its role in authorizing the kill permits.

They’re accusing the agency of bowing to political pressure to kill wolves, and not giving the state’s Wolf Management Plan a chance to work. “This looks more like retribution than wildlife conservation,” says Steve Pedery of Oregon Wild. “Vocal special interests in Northeast Oregon want to see dead wolves, and Governor Kulongoski and ODFW appear to be willing to oblige even if it means violating Oregon’s Wolf Management Plan.” Late Thursday, ODFW gave federal agents an additional week to hunt and kill two members of the Imnaha pack in Wallowa County – extending the deadline until June 25. The pack is believed to be responsible for a series of attacks that killed at least six calves during May and early June. But no one really knows for sure which pack members, if any, carried out the kills. What’s upsetting environmental groups is that ODFW has extended the hunting order for a second time, even though it admits that the wolf pack appears to be moving away from privately owned pasture. It’s also been more than two weeks since the last attack. “Killing two wolves that may or may not have been involved in livestock depredations more than two weeks ago is a purely punitive act,” says Noah Greenwald, with the Center for Biological Diversity. “With so few wolves, Oregon cannot afford to kill these two individuals.” Oregon has at least 14 wolves in the state. The Imnaha pack has ten members and the Wenaha pack has four. There are an unknown number of single wolves roaming the state. Some have been spotted as far west as the Santiam Pass near Sisters.The Imnaha pack is especially important because the alpha male and female are the only known breeding pair in the state.The environmental groups say ODFW is violating its own Wolf Management Plan because it’s not giving non-lethal methods a chance to work before issuing shoot-to-kill chance to work before issuing shoot-to-kill permits. For example, they say ranchers in Wallowa County are leaving livestock carcasses out in the open rather than burying them. The groups say this only attracts wolves onto private land. In addition to the permits issued to federal agents, nine Wallowa County ranchers have also been given permission to shoot wolves attacking their livestock. Oregon Wild and the Center For Biological Diversity say the ongoing hunt shows that wolves in Eastern Oregon need to be put back on the federal Endangered Species List. Wolves in that part of the state were delisted by the Obama Administration over a year ago. Last week, a federal judge in Montana heard arguments about the delisting order and whether it was legal. For now, Eastern Oregon wolves are protected as a state endangered species. There’s little more than a week left if you want to comment on the state’s Wolf Management Plan. Comments can be emailed to ======== Environmentalists ask governor to spare Oregon wolvestory Published: Jun 16, 2010 at 3:50 PM PDT EUGENE, Ore. – Environmentalists asked Gov. Ted Kulongoski to grant “clemency” to wolves accused in te recent killing of livestock in northeastern Oregon’s Wallowa County. Cascadia Wildlands of Eugene, Ore., and Hells Canyon Preservation Council of La Grande, Ore., on Wednesday said they had asked the governor to rescind Wolf Hysteria In Wallowa County Here we go again. “As tensions run high, members of the community attending Monday’s meeting asked the commissioners to enforce county ordinance 99-013. Vicky Fleischman of Enterprise presented a statement and a petition with 726 signatures requesting the commissioners enforce ordinance 99-013 and “remove all wolves from Wallowa County.” In 1999 the commissioners created Resolution 99-18 and County Ordinance 99-013 as preemptive measures against the threat of wolves migrating into Oregon from Idaho. The resolution and ordinance pre-date the Oregon Wolf Plan, signed in 2005, by more than six years. At that time, the gray wolf was protected by the Endangered Species Act, which is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The resolution says, “The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service shall immediately destroy or return all wolves from experimental populations that are found in Wallowa County at the expense of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service shall be held liable for any damages from wolf predation while in Wallowa County.” Please write to ODFW and express your outrage over what is happening to wolves in Oregon. The craziness keeps getting worse by the day. I think wolves have become the scapegoat for everything that people think is wrong in their lives. Pretty soon wolves will be blamed for rising unemployment, the gulf oil spill and global warming. Personally, I believe by allowing wolf hunts to go forward in Montana and Idaho the wolf hysteria has been feeding upon itself. Since the states seem to back up the wolf haters, the wolf hating movement feels empowered and is pushing for more and more wolf killing. This all stems from the delisting in the Spring of 2009 and is the best evidence of why wolves MUST have ESA protection. They can’t exist without it!! ======= Wallowa County seeks wolf plan changes Written by Katy Nesbitt, The Observer June 09, 2010 12:27 pm http://www.lagrandeobserver.com/News/Local-News/Wallowa-County-seeks-wolf-plan-changes CONTACT: Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife 3406 Cherry Avenue N.E.
