The Sage Creek Pack was eliminated bởi aerial gunners in 2009. It was a huge loss. Yellowstone Người sói are genetically isolated, the Sage Creek Pack could have provided them with important genetics but that means nothing to the chó sói, sói killers. Wildlife Services was aerial gunning Người sói even as the first chó sói, sói hunt was taking place outside the park, which decimated the famed Cottonwood pack.

“The Sage Creek Pack roamed the Centennial Mountains between Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho – precisely in the area that could alleviate genetic isolation through the influx of Người sói from Idaho and the possibility (for now, Mất tích with the pack’s demise) of yearlings making their way into Yellowstone.”

Sage Creek Pack Wiped Out bởi Aerial Gunners in Montana

October 9, 2012

Aerial gunners wiped out the remaining four members of the Sage Creek Pack, which will serve to further genetically isolate Yellowstone’s wolves. The Center for Biological Diversity issued a statement concerning this outrageous event. This pack was originally targeted because it killed ONE SHEEP!!

“The initial cause for the destruction of the eight-member Sage Creek Pack was its predation on a single con cừu, cừu on the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s con cừu, cừu Experiment Station, which grazes thousands of con cừu, cừu on thêm than 100,000 acres in Montana and Idaho”

It always comes back to grazing livestock on public lands and who pays the price? The Wolf!

Montana FWP recently closed the backcountry area WMU-3 (which encompasses the wilderness outside of Yellowstone) in part due to the loss of nine Người sói in that area, including the Cottonwood Pack. This pack was part of ongoing research on Yellowstone’s famous wolves. The hunts eliminated the pack because buffer zones were not in place for the wolves, who can’t read boundary signs. Their only crime was leaving the protection of the park. So that’s two chó sói, sói packs gone in a matter of weeks. One Mất tích to hunters and the other to FWP aerial gunners.

That same năm [1906], bureau biologist Vernon Bailey traveled to Wyoming and New Mexico to investigate the extent of chó sói, sói and coyote depredations. Upon Bailey’s return to Washington, D.C., President Roosevelt invited him to the White House to see what he had learned. Although there is no record of their conversation, immediately following Bailey’s meeting the President, the Biological Survey recommended that the government begin “devising methods for the destruction of the động vật [wolves].”

By the middle of the 20th Century, government-sponsored extermination had wiped out nearly all...

Still missing. The alpha male of the Imnaha pack hasn’t been seen hoặc heard from since May 31st. ODFW photo.

The hunt for two Người sói in Wallowa County could last all summer long. That’s the latest word from Oregon cá and Wildlife.

ODFW is now giving federal agents until the end of August to kill two members of the Imnaha pack. It’s the third time ODFW has extended the hunt.

Also new, ODFW is answering critics in the environmental community who think the agency is violating its own rules, and letting the chó sói, sói hunt drag out for too long.

aerial gunning of wolves

UDATE: May 2, 2012

In light of the Sacramento Bee’s explosive expose on Wildlife Services and the lawsuit filed against the agency bởi WildEarth Guardians, I felt it would be important to re-post this 2009 piece.

Remember this is a repost, reflecting what was happening in 2009, so a few of the đường dẫn are outdated but Wildlife Services hasn’t changed, they’re still doing what they’ve been doing for decades, killing wildlife.

For Immediate Release, October 9, 2009

SILVER CITY, N.M.— This week’s aerial gunning of the last four members of the Sage Creek chó sói, sói pack in southwestern Montana contributes to the genetic isolation of Người sói in Yellowstone National Park – even as, on Thursday, the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks commission suspended the public wolf-hunting season near Yellowstone in order not to isolate the national park’s wolves.

Said Michael Robinson of the Center for Biological Diversity: “We are saddened bởi the loss of the Sage Creek Pack. Suspending the permitted wolf-hunting season near Yellowstone...

Người sói have been feared, hated, and persecuted for hundreds of years in North America. Before the arrival of Europeans, Native Americans incorporated Người sói into their legends and rituals, portraying them as ferocious warriors in some traditions and thieving spirits in others. European Americans, however, simply despised wolves. Many, including celebrated painter and naturalist John James Audubon, believed Người sói ought to be eradicated for the threat they posed to valuable livestock. This attitude enabled a centuries-long extermination campaign that nearly wiped out the gray chó sói, sói in the continental...

Lookout Pack Yearling chó sói, sói 2008

Washington state is missing the mother of the first chó sói, sói pack in the state in seventy years. Apparently the Lookout pack alpha female has been missing since May, why are we just hearing about it now? This will be the fifth chó sói, sói missing hoặc dead in the last three months in four states, four of them alphas (parents of the pack).

New Mexico and Arizona have been the hardest hit, losing three highly endangered Mexican gray wolves. Two members of the Hawks Nest pack, who have seven pups, are dead. The alpha male hoặc father was found shot to death in the Apache-Sitgreaves...

A 16-year-old boy who fought off a rare apparent chó sói, sói attack in northern Minnesota says he won't be sleeping outside anytime soon.

Noah Graham of Solway was camping on Lake Winnibigoshish with five Những người bạn last weekend. He told The Pioneer of Bemidji that he was talking with his girlfriend just before the animal chomped the back of his head early Saturday.

Minnesota Department of Natural Resources officials think it's the first documented serious-injury chó sói, sói attack on a human in Minnesota.

I read an opinion piece in the Salt Lake Tribune concerning Người sói return to the state. It’s been years since canis lupus roamed their native lands in Utah, they were extirpated from most of America, save a few pockets of Người sói in Minnestota. But in order to make it to Utah they have to vượt qua, cross the “no chó sói, sói zone” in Idaho and Wyoming. No easy task since two wolves, trying to set up cửa hàng in Utah, were recently killed for livestock depredation. I always take these reports with a grain of salt because I know and the “wildlife managers” will admit, if asked, that Người sói are a mere blip...

The livestock chó sói, sói paradigm is a fairy tale, told to justify the quest for a predator free landscape. Yet almost every media báo cáo concerning Người sói concentrates on ranchers and cattle losses.

Coyotes are the number one predator of cattle, namely calves but even the little “song dog” does very little damage. Please stop listening to this drivel and arm yourself with facts. This chó sói, sói hunt is Salem, Massachusetts all over again.

Myth drives these political hunts. One of the most repeated is, ”wolves are decimating game herds” , another over the hàng đầu, đầu trang accusation. Did bạn know there are almost...

21 Idaho Người sói and 7 Montana Người sói have been killed in the hunts, that number is going to climb very quickly once the cold weather arrives and forest cover is gone. Trapping in Idaho will lay Người sói low. bạn will see the numbers of dead Người sói skyrocket into the hundreds and all this is completely unnecessary.

There is no reason to hunt wolves, it’s a political witch hunt. The livestock industries’ hysteria concerning Người sói is pure theater. Here are the cattle loss figures for 2010:

Cattle Losses 2010
Non-predation (NASS)
Idaho 86, 900
Montana 74,800
Wyoming 37,100

Total Non-Predation: 198,800 cows

chó sói, sói Predation (USFWS)
Idaho 75
Montana 87
Wyoming 26
========================
Total chó sói, sói predation: 188 cows

AND

Even though the hunts are in full swing, Wildlife Services is still killing wolves, paid for bởi the American people. Remember the gần đây aerial gunning of 3 Người sói on the Peavey Flat hàng đầu, đầu trang Ranch in Idaho?

I first đã đăng this on September 29, 2009, just as the first chó sói, sói hunts were getting under way. I changed the tiêu đề and bức ảnh but the content remains the same.

Nature Magazine examines reasons behind chó sói, sói hatred and the systematic campaign to remove them from the lower forty-eight. It merits repeating that for thousands of years Native Americans were able to live with Người sói and bears, while settlers saw them as a threat. Even the famed naturalist James Audubon partook in torturing wolves, which was particularly shocking to learn.

Wolves – IMAX enlightens us regarding the true nature of this iconic apex predator. Some information is quite dated, traveling back to the heady days of chó sói, sói reintroduction in the Northern Rockies, specifically central Idaho. The Nez Perce tribe, like other chó sói, sói advocates, had high hopes for the wolves’ return, after their long absence. How the worm has turned.

Looking back, I see how we were all duped into thinking chó sói, sói reintroduction would have a happy ending. In reality, it’s clear there was never any real intent to maintain a viable, robust population of Người sói outside the national...

Trapping and Snaring



Trapping may be the most inhumane method used bởi Wildlife Services. Traps can go unchecked for days, allowing the animal to suffer. When not killed outright bởi the trap, động vật can endure physiological trauma, dehydration, exposure to severe weather, and predation bởi other animals. Most traps are notoriously indiscriminate, capturing almost any animal who triggers them. Non-target species found in traps include endangered species, raptors, dogs, and cats. The most commonly used trap is the steel-jawed leghold trap, a restraining device with spring-loaded jaws that clamp...
