If this can be proven it will blow things wide open in Wisconsin, it’s unconscionable. To think wolves would be subjected to such horror when they are bound to their den sites awaiting the birth of their pups!
A similar situation was uncovered concerning Mexican gray wolves. Telemetry devices were given out to Southwestern ranchers when Mexican gray wolves were first reintroduced, apparently so ranchers would use them to keep track of any wolves approaching their cows. The USFWS handed out the telemetry to people who were no friend to the wolf.

**UPDATE** Remember these are only allegations at this time, but they are backed up by some very serious statements from people with impeccable integrity. We will keep digging for more information, and update as more information becomes available. All of us are still trying to wrap our minds around this.
Yesterday we were made aware of some very disturbing information. According to multiple reliable sources, with direct links to the the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, a DNR employee or employees have given confidential research data regarding the precise GPS coordinates of wolf dens to wolf hunters/hounders/trappers. The sources are reluctant to go on the record with this information, but if true it would answer many questions about this past falls wolf killing season.
One of the most common questions asked during the wolf killing season last fall was, “how are they killing them so quickly?” I…

Gail, I agree, the more despicable they become the more angry and disgusted people are getting. This story is going to break out of the Great Lakes and the Northern Rockies and it’s going to be big. We are making progress this year even though things seem desperate. But as Toni’s story points out, the intimidation factor is always there. If you have a pro-wolf sticker on your car, it might get keyed or worse, maybe tires slashed. Or if you speak out in a fish and game meeting in favor of wolves, will someone follow you and copy your license plate? It’s scary stuff going on in the Northern Rockies.
Unfortunately in Montana and Idaho, there is little to no support in any of the state legislatures for wolves. They have a lock on them due to the rider. But things are going to change and they will change, this year could be the turning point.

Good idea Diane. But look who they have as governor? I think Wisconsin is in the same boat as some of the wolf states in the Northern Rockies, no friends in the legislature for wolves.
Chasing wolves with up to six dogs per hunter, that is just evil dog fighting pure and simple. Wolves are wild dogs and using domesticated dogs to hunt them IS dog fighting. These people can’t get away with this. And if it’s true that the DNR gave locations of wolf den sites to trappers, hunters and hounders..then it will blow this whole dirty mess wide open.

Ann, actually Defenders of Wildlife has been very ineffective in defending and protecting wolves.

Here is something I have been doing since 2005
I buy index cards the size you would put a recipe on.
On one side of the card in the middle put a line from top to bottom.
then on the right side of the card (same side w/vertical line) put three lines horizontal. On the three lines put the address of who the post card is for. Place a post card stamp on the upper right corner.
Then on the other side of the card write your message.
I have been sending Governor Otter post cards ever since he was elected. Post card stamps are less cost than a regular stamp.
Now Bullock and the other governors will be getting post cards!
Just think if even ten people send post cards every week, they just might “Get It” that most Americans want the wolf put back on the ESA.
I talked with Doug Smith (Yellowstone wolves) about doing this. He said it would’t make a difference. I think if LOTS of people do this it could help.
I dread to think how awful Doug and his staff must feel. They worked so hard to bring the wolves back.
And to you Nabeki a heartfelt THANK-YOU for all you are doing for our
beloved wolves.

Christy, I’m not concerned about Doug Smith. I’m concerned about wolves and keeping them safe, unmolested and free. Smith has basically been harassing wolves for far too long. When will all his collaring (and “research”) be enough? This involves chasing each wolf down, tranquilizing them and then making their movements known to everyone with a tracking device, for example wolf haters and murderous perverts. Smith recently stated in a nationally broadcast NPR interview that he supports state sanctioned wolf hunts. He stated that “with no wolf hunting allowed there were alot of people walking around angry all the time…” because they couldn’t kill wolves. He then offered his bizarre and appalling opinion that wolf killing is neccassary so that wolves will be “accepted” by these angry people. One wolf defender responded by asking if these angry people should be allowed to kill their wives, if they are unhappy with their presence, to vent their anger and blow off steam? Doug Smith lives in a safe and sheltered Yellowstone cocoon and has become part of the problem in our mission to defend and protect America’s wolves.

BraveWolf, I’m not familiar with Mr.Smith, but just want to say that from what you describe, I believe he is correct inasmuch as yes, these people probably “are walking around angry all the time” due to this unimaginable hatred they have of the wolves. They will never “accept” them, and killing them is the “safety valve” which enables them to comply with wolf hunt seasons. The incredible part is that he seems to expect that everyone else who is enlightened should be subjugated into acceptance of wolf slaughters in deference to these psychopaths. The scenario would be that they are the superior ones and we are the subordinates. I say “bullshit” to that idea!

Christy, I think it’s a great idea, if everyone did just one thing for wolves every day, it would make a difference. Sadly Doug Smith supports the wolf hunts…he’s stated they’re needed for public tolerance. Eighteen years after wolf reintroduction, the wolf states are no more tolerant then they were during first extermination.
Thank you Christy for being a pro active wolf advocate. Small things can turn into big things, if everyone followed your example wolves would be on their way to relisting.
