We did win a major victory when wolves were relisted on August 5th but you would never know it with the continual whining by the states, ranchers, hunters, et.al. The newest and most egregious assault on wolves is Montana FWP’s intention to hold a meeting, tomorrow, Friday, August 20th, at the Red Lion Colonial Hotel in Helena. The purpose?
Is this even legal? How can the state of Montana seek to form a coalition with anti-wolf lobbies? This has to be a conflict of interest. Does the state not represent the entire population? What about wolf advocates who don’t hunt or have ranches or farms but want wolves protected? Do we count at all?
Does everyone see what wolves are up against? How the USFWS could push to delist gray wolves in the Northern Rockies, when they are fully aware of the toxic climate that exists in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming against wolves, is egregious beyond measure.
Is anyone responsible for “managing”wolves looking out for them?
Will wolf advocates be at the meeting tomorrow with their video cameras, to document what is being said? Will there be minutes to this meeting? And who are the other groups Ron Aasheim of Montana FWP is talking about? I don’t see one environmental group mentioned? How desperate do you have to be to pull a stunt like this, barely two weeks after wolves protections were restored? Should Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks be renamed, Montana For Hunting, Ranching and Woolgrowers?
Think about this for a minute. This is the state of Montana, holding a meeting,with practically no notice ( I could not find an announcement about this meeting anywhere before today, if there is such a link, please post it on this blog), to build a coalition with groups who are clearly anti-wolf. Oh and we can’t forget the unnamed “‘other groups”. Who are they, the Safari Club and Cattlemen’s Assoc.?
Wolf advocates, if you can make this meeting under such short notice, I urge you to do so. Wolves can’t speak for themselves, they need our help. The persecution of these magnificent animals knows no bounds. Please take this seriously. In my opinion the state is trying to find a way to circumvent the ESA and hold wolf hunts. I believe there are powerful hunting forces behind this push to dismantle the ESA and strip wolves of their protections. If it wasn’t for the endangered species act, wolves would never have made a comeback at all.
Here’s a video of one of the last wild Mexican gray wolves, captured in Northern Mexico in the 1970’s. Is this what’s in store for wolves in the Northern Rockies? Just a few wolves left standing?

Rita…I don’t think we should take these threats lightly and we should start writing and calling these people now. I posted Rehburg and Baucus info on a previous post but I will put it in the contact list. As a matter of fact everyone needs to call his or her congress person and express their outrage over this bill. I do think they will have a battle royal to change the ESA. Doesn’t mean they won’t try. It sounds like they will do anything to get wolves killed. They are proving why the states can’t manage wolves. Personally I don’t think they have the votes in both houses to pass this. Not everyone is from Montana, Idaho or Texas. I have no idea why a Texan introduced that bill, there are no wolves in Texas.

This is very bad. This sort of coalition is what solicits the killing of endangered species (here it is by simply calling them vermin) and makes it hard for any sort of comeback from environmental groups, particularly if it is given backing by government departments (e.g. Gov. Butch Otter is a member of the Idaho Anti-Wolf Coalition).
Nabeki, I’m with you on this one, I too smell something rotten with this meeting, something that could endorse, supply or even move to legalise illegal activities. Hunters and ranchers have had their way for FAR TOO LONG and this is the result: a middle finger to ecological knowledge because it doesn’t work out well enough for the killers.
To those who go: -be careful- and stay safe. It is truly sad that such a thing has to be said.

Nabeki, maybe you should make a post with those new elk #s that came from the rmef to show everyone that elk are not being wiped out nor are they endangered like some hunters claim. Yes, as we all know, elk are lower in some areas, but that should be expected, Elk populations as a whole are doing good and the link I posted has the elk population #s. Hunting/ranching groups do have powerful lobbies in congress, but I think anyone who counts the animal rights groups and environmental groups out are crazy. They are very powerful and have a lot of money and they have victories under their belt. The animal rights groups and environmental groups that is.

Hi Jon,
The numbers this year are not very different from last year.
2009: Montana 150,000, Idaho 105,000, Wyoming 95,000.
2010: Montana 150,000, Idaho 101,000, Wyoming 120,000.
So it looks like Wyoming gained 25,000 elk. Here’s the link to the 2009 numbers. I just did a post on it and included the link to it.

Nabeki, the funny thing is when you show these #s, to people, specifically hunters, they will deny them and still claim they are no elk left or they will tell you you are misreading the #s or something like that. The fact is those #s came str8 from the rmef which is a pro hunting organization. I posted these #s on Ralph’s blog and already 2 hunters got on my case. I guess that in their mind, they truly believe wolves are wiping out the elk even though when a pro hunting organization like rmef says different. Even Dave Allen said elk are doing good. I honestly don’t get the whining from those complaining that wolves are the reason for low elk #s in some areas. I mean this should be expected and understandable to even hunters. I mean wolves have to eat, so why do hunters act surprised and whine about it when elk #s are low in some areas due to wolves? It’s like hunters want an overabundance of elk in each area there are elk. This is not natural.

Hi Jon,
I’ve written over and over about elk numbers, they just ignore the it. The RMEF had their 25th anniversary last year and were trumpeting their success recovering elk. Elk numbers were up in twenty three states since the RMEF founding. The RMEF wasn’t talking radical wolf stuff when they put out their 09 press release but the wolf issue blew up soon after their delisting. I think many RMEF members were unhappy with them for painting such a rosy picture of elk recovery, it doesn’t fit in with the “wolves are killing all the elk” agenda. David Allen wrote to this blog last October, I re-posted it a couple of weeks ago. It was clear he was miffed we were using the RMEF numbers that elk are doing just fine. The constant focus on elk is taking away from wolves and their needs. It seems everytime the antis mention wolves you can bet elk or cows won’t be far behind. It’s a red herring issue and keeps us focused on their issue and not ours.
They know that wolves are not killing all the elk and the state game agencies have admitted many times that wolves kill very few livestock compared to other factors…but they always throw in the caveat “but it’s important to those ranchers who do lose cows”. One year 10,500 calves were lost to winter storms. The Montana winter of 1996 was so severe it wiped out most of the white tail deer, it took over three years just for them to make a comeback and now they are flourishing. That’s how nature works and they know it. If it wasn’t for the wolf and other apex predators there wouldn’t be any elk, they would have over browsed themselves out of existence millenia ago.
So it’s common knowlege wolves are just one integral part of our ecosystem. They are neither bad or good, they just are. They have to eat and their prey is ungulates for a reason. That’s why predators were put on this earth, to keep ungulates healthy. I love the saying “‘it was the wolf that honed the antelopes nimble foot.”
But when we talk to the anti-wolf crowd they aren’t listening to this. They have focused on wolves as scapegoats for all the problems in their lives, plus there is plenty of peer pressure. It’s cool in hunting circles to hate wolves. The politicians are just pandering to their base, they would rather talk about anything else then the terrible economy.
So, it’s my feeling they have the numbers, they know elk are doing fine in most areas and if they are worried about isolated declines then state game agencies shouldn’t be selling as many tags. But oh no, hunters will be allowed to kill elk but wolves will have to die for any perceived dips. They are hypocrites.

Look at Wyoming, they are probably the most anti wolf state out of the 3 if that’s possible and they have more elk than in 2009. So why are hunters complaining that wolves are wiping out the elk? I think it simply comes down to the elk are moving. Hunters who dislike wolves will use wolves as scapegoats and blame them for wiping out elk when it is possible that the elk just simply moved. They think the worst of the wolf and if they don’t see elk, they purposely blame the wolf without any thought. The fact is that the numbers from rmef prove that overall, elk are doing good. They are not being wiped out nor arr they becoming endangered due to wolves. These #s prove that.

Still it was the Obama admin that delisted the wolf and started this mess. Obama has not weighed in on the issue at all, even though numerous petitions, letters and pleas have been directed at him. I don’t think he cares one whit what happens to wolves. He’s a delegator and has given it all over to the rancher Salazar. So not only has a Democrat President caused the entire wolf mess but he’s also helping to destroy our wild horses. Some accomplishments..this isn’t the change people were looking for. He is clueless.

Also they formed a coalition with these “select stakeholders” within hours. Where is the public comment period that’s required for decision making? The whole thing smells to high heaven but I guess they are not too worried since they have the governor, two senators and one rep on their side. The people of Montana have been left out of this totally, except for the “select stakeholders”. The media is covering this like it’s business as usual. Outrageous. We have to fight back and let them know this is just not going to fly. I find it ironic in the extreme that this is the state who says they are responsible stewards to “”manage (kill)” wolves, when it’s plan to see they have no regard for wolves whatsoever. This is what it has come to.

I am sicked beyond words at the constant assault on wildlife and agree it is far beyond the time that we demand the USFWS do their job and PROTECT wildlife.

I am certain there is money exchanged under the table so to speak, and if not money, nice dinners, gifts, etc. And I hate to sound like a broken record, but Ken Salazar is the real problem here. As long as we have a Secretary of the Interior in bed with Oil and Ranchers, this is what we can expect.
Is the Doug Smith you referred to a few days ago the Doug Smith with the Yellowstone Wolf Project? I was looking at the WolfWatcher site/blog and was rather impressed with Dave Hornoff. I think maybe if we contacted maybe Dave and Mike Wagner of Heart of the Wolf and banded together so to speak, that would be a good way to become better organized and find someone who knows the wolves and how necessary as apex predators they are to take our story to Washington so to speak.
I know Facebook and Twitter can be a real asset but somehow we have got to all band together to save our wolves. It is amazing when you really start research all the many website and blogs by wolf advocates there are.
