Idaho’s Fish and Game Department wishes to further reduce the number of wolves to allegedly increase numbers of big game animals for their hunters. Negative impacts on elk are primarily caused by hunters, disease, and weather….not wolves. People are once again using the wolf as a scapegoat. Their real agenda is to have as many big game animals to hunt for fun, including wolves.

That’s the title of a recent letter to the Arizona Star addressing the issue of unknown numbers of tracking devices that were given out to Southwest 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 this telemetry to people who were no friend to the wolf and they never thought they could be turned on wolves, making it easier to find and kill them? Oh no, that would never happen.
Well it could happen and it may have happened. The USFWS should IMMEDIATELY AND WITHOUT DELAY collect every single one of those radio receivers. It’s not as if they haven’t known about this problem for years.

Mexican gray wolves (also known as lobos) only exist in the wild in America’s Southwest. Unfortunately, with just 42 lobos — and two breeding pairs — remaining in the wild, these wolves are in big trouble.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has recently stepped up efforts to save these magnificent animals and to secure their place in Arizona and New Mexico, ending years of mismanagement and giving recovery efforts a real chance at success.
But with so few lobos remaining, the loss of even one wolf could spell disaster for these rare wolves.
Please urge U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to fast-track federal efforts to save these wolves. Click on the link below and make your voice be heard! (Thanks to Defenders of Wildlife for providing this information)

Help End Aerial Wolf Killing: Urge Your Representative and Senators to Co-Sponsor the PAW Act
So far, more than 1,000 wolves have been chased down by gunmen in low-flying aircraft and killed with high-powered rifles. This year alone, more than 250 wolves have been killed — making the 2008/2009 aerial wolf killing season one of the deadliest in years.
Congressman George Miller and Senator Dianne Feinstein have introduced the Protect America’s Wildlife (PAW) Act, federal legislation to end the controversial practice of using aircraft and gunmen to chase and kill wolves in Alaska. Will you urge your representative and senators to help get the PAW Act passed into law?
Complete the form through the link below to urge your representative and senators to sign on as co-sponsors of the PAW Act and help end this awful practice in Alaska and prevent it from spreading to places like the Northern Rockies
