Environmental groups Ask Governor to Restrict Lethal Wolf Controls  :bdid:
 
Center for Biodiversity Submits "Wolf Lethal Removal Rule-making" Petition to Governor
 
Environmental groups on Thursday asked Gov. Jay Inslee to push for the creation of strict rules limiting when wolves can be killed in response to livestock depredations.
 
Their original petition was rejected by the Washington State Fish & Wildlife Commission. It sought to limit when the state Division of Fish and Wildlife could kill wolves. It would have also required ranchers to use nonlethal measures to protect their livestock.
 
That would have been a devastating blow to the hunting, ranching, and rural committees.  It would have tied WDFW's hands in dealing with problem wolves.  It would make wolves impossible to delist, since the animal rights groups would sue to stop it.  It would open WDFW to be sued every time they tried to kill a wolf.
 
Now they are petitioning the Governor to adopt what the Commission rejected - Ungulate populations will be destroyed if the governor adopts this petition.
 
Send a message to governor using this link or call his office at 360-902-4111:
https://fortress.wa.gov/es/governor/
 
Tell the governor:
 
You oppose the Center for Biodiversity's petition;
1) The petition will destroy social tolerance for wolves in rural communities which will delay wolf recovery;
2) The petition will open the state to costly lawsuits;
3) The petition would tie WDFW's hands in dealing with problem wolves;
4) The petition would have a severe impact on ungulate populations;
5) The petition will negatively affect hunting opportunities.

This is important folks!

Write the Governor's Office (https://fortress.wa.gov/es/governor/) and let him know that the management of wildlife must be guided by sound and unbiased science and our state wildlife management agency, not by animal-rights organizations that thrive off of emotionally-based diatribe and propaganda, and manipulating the political landscape to further their agendas.

Ask him to please watch "The Real Wolf" video

The Real Wolf: The Science, Politics, and Economics of Co-existing with Wolves in Modern Times

The Real Wolf is an in-depth study of the impact that wolves have had on big game and livestock populations as a federally protected species. Authors, Ted B. Lyon and Will N. Graves, sift through the myths and misinformation surrounding wolves and present the facts about wolves in modern times. Each chapter in the book is meticulously researched and written by authors, scientists and wolf experts who have spent years studying wolves and wolf behavior. Each describe a unique aspect of the wolf in the United States. The Real Wolf does not call for the eradication of wolves from the United States, but rather advocates a new system of species management that would allow wolves, game animals, and farmers to co-exist with one another.

Written by Ted B. Lyon and Will N. Graves.

With contributions by: Rob Arnaud, Dr. Arthur Bergerud, Karen Budd-Falen, Jess Carey, Dr. Matthew A. Cronin, Dr. Valerius Geist, Don Peay, Laura Schneberger, Heather Smith-Thomas, and Cat Urbigkit.

Edited by Linda Grosskopf & Nancy Morrison.
