October 1st, 2012, a half hour before sunrise, will begin a day of infamy for Wyoming wolves. Not only will they be hunted outside of Yellowstone National Park in a trophy hunt zone (over 2200 wolf hunt tags have been sold), they’ll be treated as vermin in most of the state. The shoot-on-site plan goes into effect tomorrow!! No license needed, wolves can be run over with ATV’s , hung from a tree, trapped, snared, POISONED or anything a wolf killer can come up with. AND they don’t have to report killing a wolf to the state for ten days. Yeah that’ll happen.
US government sanctions slaughter of wolves in Wyoming
Wyoming wolves lose federal protection, will be shot on sight across most of state
September 2012. US Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has announced that gray wolves in Wyoming will be taken off the endangered species list – a death sentence for a majority of the animals, which will now be managed under a state plan that delineates more than 80 percent of Wyoming as a “predator zone” where wolves can be shot on sight. In the remainder of the state, excluding Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks, wolves will be designated a “trophy game animal” and hunted in large numbers, with the goal of reducing the population from about 270 wolves to 100.
In response to this decision, the Center for Biological Diversity joined a coalition of environmental groups in filing a notice of intent to sue the federal government for stripping away Endangered Species Act protections from Wyoming’s wolves.
Slaughter
“Taking federal protection away from Wyoming’s wolves will bring the same kind of senseless slaughter that first drove them to the brink of extinction in the lower 48,” said Noah Greenwald, endangered species director at the Center for Biological Diversity, which has worked to protect western wolves for nearly a quarter-century. “Blatantly ignoring science and sanctioning the extermination of these beautiful and intelligent animals is a travesty. We’re going to sue to protect these wolves.”

On September 10th 2012, a coalition of environmental groups notified USFWS of their intent to sue over Wyoming’s wolf delisting plan but the groups cannot take legal action until SIXTY DAYS after the filing!! So the wolf hunt and the shoot-on-sight plan will move forward until the environmental groups can plead their case for an injunction in court to stop the killing. A lot of wolves can be killed in the meantime.
This is all on the Obama administration, Secretary of the Interior rancher Ken Salazar and director of USFWS Dan Ashe, who thinks this slaughter is, “scientifically sound”. Tell me how a wolf hunt AND a shoot-0n-sight predator zone, that will decimate 270 hapless Wyoming wolves, who live outside Yellowstone, is scientifically sound? Science has NOTHING to do with it. The power and influence of the ranching and hunting cabals pushed this agenda pure and simple!

That’s the sad state of wolf “recovery/slaughter”. The only wild wolf in America potentially safe is OR-7 because he decided to disperse from his natal pack, the Imnaha’s and run like hell away from the killing zone. Let’s hope he stays out of harms way. Yet his brother and sister wolves face an unprecedented slaughter.
Get active, hold a protest, organize!! The killing has to stop and the ONLY way it’s going to stop is by pressuring the politicians who rubber stamped this pogrom. Appealing to the states is hopeless, they aren’t going to stop killing wolves unless they’re ordered to.
Be relentless, don’t stop until we get some action. Start a write-in campaign directed at every US Senator who voted to delist wolves in the Northern Rockies, specifically the Democrats. Tell them to restore wolves Endangered Species Protections or they won’t be getting your vote on November 6.
I know time is short, the election is just six weeks away but we CAN make an impact! Wolves are dying. The Wedge pack was just aerial gunned in Washington state for NOTHING! Montana and Idaho wolves are being hunted as I type this, 26 dead since August 30, 2012. The Great Lakes states of Wisconsin, Minnesota and now Michigan are poised to travel down the same road. Oregon ODFW has a death warrant out on OR-7’s father and sibling, the only reason they’re not dead is a court ordered temporary restraining order stopped it.

Ranchers Cheer Removal Of Gray Wolf Protection
by Sharon Seltzer
May 23, 2011
The animals had been protected by the Endangered Species Act, but when a federal budget bill was introduced in Congress, senators from Montana ran a sneaky maneuver and added language to the bill to “delist” the wolves in the five states.

I’ve been dreading this day ever since I heard that the USFWS planned on delisting Wyoming’s wolves. I’ve tried sending petitions, I have signed petitions to stop this from happening…but they were all a failure! I am now crying inside. I have been thinking about Wyoming’s poor wolves nearly 24/7 these days. I can’t even get myself to focus on my English Essay and my Speech for Public Speaking Class (both of which I should be working on right now) as my mind and spirit have flown to Wyoming (and this is coming from someone who rarely gets distracted from working on schoolwork).
Those poor Wyoming wolves. Any legal method to kill wolves can theoretically be used on them in most of the state. I know that most of the wolves live within the Trophy Zone, which is a little safer, but just to think that a wolf in any other part of the state can be killed, even tortured, in any legal way is appalling and heartbreaking. I can imagine all of the brutalities that can now be commited against the wolf (particularily in the predator zone) and they are not pretty. I see mountains of dead bodies being piled on top of each other. Wolf pups being gassed in their dens. Cowboys lassoing and ripping apart wolves like what was done back in the olden days. Terrified wolves shot by aerial-gunning. Wolves dying painful deaths from poisoning. Wolves living their lives in constant fear. I know that only a few wolves live in the predator zone but I can still see this happening to them.
This is a repeat of the War on Wolves that exterminated them in the first place back in the 19th and early 20th centuries. I thought that humans learned their lesson about wiping out predators but I guess this is not so.
October 1st, 2012 will be the most tragic day of modern wildlife conservation. An once endangered species will now be treated like a worthless pest to be destroyed at all costs.

5 BE ceaseless in Complaining to the NCBA with calls and emails.
Check out their website under ‘legislative objectives’- dont take my word for it. Destroying the environment via almost free allotments, for personal profits of members, and destroying wolves has been a success in their legal agenda. Read it for yourself. Create multiple FOIA’s against the NCBA.
6 Fight in your state against funding the Depts of Natural Resources. They are all the same killers gaining profit from overtime personal wolf hunts : WI to WA. FOIA these agencies to see which corporations are funding them, including IDAHO’s receiving of 51,ooo dollars from RMEF.
7 Organize and support the banning of trapping, snaring, and poisoning as they are state sanctioned abuse programs promoted gainst all fur bearers in the national forests.The correlation between animal abuse and human abuse as sociopathic behaviors is grounded in the DSM IV and distinguished psychology journals, including the UN’s. License holders for strangling, trapping and poisoning are given approval by the state agencies that make money from the killing.
AGAIN: Boycott beef.
The population is over the carrying capacity and with this anti-wolf,
anti-earth success additional ranchers will feign wolf kills to cover their grain expenses in the ongoing drought. They will do this so they can collect subsidies and their corporate cronies will promote it. And dont forget they vote to cut any government aid to other citizens while shouting, “less government’. They promoted a huge sale of ‘pink slime’ to the USDA for school children’s lunch programs. If you didn’t follow this sale to the USDA, the specific beef company immediately went Chapter 7. There will be no liability for health consequences to children. They have no conscience. Our Sorrow must morph into action. Be unrelenting.

My first thought when waking up this morning, October 1st, was: “oh no, today is the start of the needless killing of wolves” and I’ve been walking around with tears in my eyes since.
Why does mankind (lots of ‘men’… very little ‘kind’) have to keep on proving its worth over Mother Nature? Why wolves? Ever since the bible they’ve been persecuted and killed just for the sake of killing something mankind does not understand, or even tries to understand. Why do men – and women for that matter – want to prove they are better, smarter and more humane than animals when animals are more often the better link in the chain of life?
It kills me knowing that in a few hours people will go out there with guns, traps, poison etc… 2200 wolf hunt tags sold to kill 170 wolves? Surely more a lot more wolves will be killed so if it doesn’t need to be reported straight away… if they don’t keep tags on it from day one, people will keep on killing wolves until none are left because surely… they don’t know how many are left…
The idiots doing the killing should go shoot each other, trap them, poison them and then the balance in nature might be restored.

Billie,
It’s truly a dark time, probably the worst we’ve faced since the wolves delisting in 2009. The wolf hunt outside Yellowstone allows for the killing of 52 wolves. The rest of the state will be a predator zone, where wolves can be shot-on-sight. The worst is they can use poison, the very thing that wiped wolves out in the first extermination. Our only hope is the environmental groups will file for an injunction as soon as they can but there is a sixty day waiting period after they file notice to sue. They filed on September 10, 2012..sixty days would be around November 8th. BUT if they ask for an injunction, will they get it and how long will it take the Judge to decide? Many, many wolves could be dead before this process plays out. It’s just horrific.

What’s awful is the use of poison. That affect not only wolves, but other animals, our water supply. If the wolves have recovered enough to be delisted (which I don’t think they have), that is one thing – but immediately initiating hunting is something else. I can’t believe how primitive people behave when given the change. Makes me think that if we didn’t have laws in place to protect us, we’d shoot each other too. Oh wait….
And then the slob hunters out in the Great Lakes region who want to use dogs and RTVs to chase animals all over people’s property. No restraint whatsoever. They are threatening to take the law into their own hands if they can’t use dogs. If they do, they will be breaking the law and will be arrested, and probably not for the first time either according to statistics. It’s embarrassingly terrible.
