“Our goal is restoration of a native wolf population not in producing a generation of hybrids we'd have to take care of in another way later,” said Donny Martorello, the department's carnivore manager in Olympia."

Native Wolf? If Donny was really interested in restoring the native wolves, he would recommend killing the wolves the USFWS illegally introduced.


Isn't Donny the WDFW guy who said WDFW would pay the vet bill on John's dog, that one of their planted wolves attack> and then he had to renege once it hit the net?

I thought the same thing initially.  But then I realized that the wolf is going to have a bunch of hybrid puppies.  Then there will be a bunch of hybrids out there killing wildlife and eventually breeding more and creating more hybrids.  Unless I'm totally reading the article wrong, and I very well could be since it doesn't make any sense.  Why would they allow hybrids to be born? 

Pretty sure the wolf won't have the pups.

Yeah.  That is good news.

I realized that right after I posted and deleted it.

Yeah, but is the fact that this happened at all more laughable or perverse? I can't decide...

What the heck is WDFW and DM thinking?

Spend a bunch of money to spay the wolf? What was the point? It will not help in getting closer to delisting. Now you have two wolves that are getting habituated to pets. Killing the wolf would have been cheaper and safer in the long run.

ENDANGERED SPECIES — The saga of wolf recovery in Washington has taken a strange tryst.

“But when those females came back in a few days, one must have been in estrus because that big, intact dog climbed a seven-foot orchard fence and took off with them from mid-January through February,” he said.


I am not purposely daft.  But what exactly is an intact dog?

"Wildlife officials advised the dog owner to restrain the dog for the rest of the winter.  While dogs can come into heat throughout the year, wolves generally come into estrus only in January and February, Martorello said."

Sooo WDFW's new wolves aren't dogs? I thought they said a wolf is a wolf? Are wolves dogs or are they something special?  Or is everyone mixed up except Donny?

I wonder if the WDFW (planned parenthood mobile unit) would castrate a young dispersing male wolf if it was hanging around a farm/ranch looking for love?  :tung:
