Status Of Oregon’s Imnaha Wolf Pack

B-300, the alpha female of the Imnaha pack

The Imnaha wolves are still alive and none have been shot as of today.  That doesn’t mean a whole lot because the kill permits usually last for 45 days. Please keep these wolves in your thoughts this holiday weekend and hope no harm comes to them, that they are not baited or their radio collar signals tracked.

I dislike feeling so helpless and not being able to help the wolves except by writing to the very people that issued the wolf  kill permits to the ranchers.  But these agencies are sensitive to public opinion and especially tourist dollars coming into the state. Oregon has a reputation as being a progressive, forward thinking state.  Exposing this can’t be very pleasant for them, it’s shining a light on their actions. 

I would also urge people to give up eating beef. I’m not  proselytizing but it would be a healthy choice and  help wolves and the environment.  Cows do a lot of damage to range land, they trample stream beds and soil streams. They destroy native grasses and vegetation. Cows are also the single biggest obstacle to wolf recovery.  It’s something to think about. No cow makes it out alive in the cattle industry and it’s not wolves doing the killing.

Also don’t forget to send in your comments to ODFW on their wolf management plan, which as you can see,  is sorely lacking:  Here’s the link to the recent post I did on this, it has all the contact information included:
