It's Washington rural v. Seattle urban

I wonder if that includes the ones that starve because they keep getting chased away from the feed station or are afraid to go there because the wolves and hanging around.

Doubt they will starve... Probably end up in the orchards around Yakima and hay fields in eburg...

Sure they would, there's a elk fence on the west side of kittitas valley that will keep them from coming down into the valley, that elk fence will be an asset to them wolves when cornering the elk.

nope, wolf huggers will not included elk that starve due to wolves blocking them from winter feeding grounds, instead they will use this as a reason we need even more wolves running around because the poor elk are starving, and leave out the facts as usual.

I'm pretty sure there is a provision in the Wolf Plan that if wolves impact herds by 25% (I think that was the number) they can take management action.

So I'm just going to throw this out there and some might say BS but I think on the west side of the Penninsula cougar have decreased deer and elk by in the neighbor hood of 75% in the last 16 years.
So another 25%, that don't leave much to rebuild with.
