Washington lawmaker proposes moving wolves

[CAMPMEAT]

I'm 99% sure I have wolf poop on my ridge, 250 yards from my house......raise your hands, anybody on the westside of the state does, near Seattle. C'mon, raise your hands...anybody ?

And I'm 99% sure this this comment makes no sense  ... so whats your point?

" this this " makes no sense to me. Explain yours. The westside people who vote for our demise, need wolves in their backyard as well. Pretty simple if you ask me.

Why? What's simple is that if the wolves want to be over here, they will get here on their own. They sure don't need our help. That's just plain ridiculous.

Robert,

The wolves didn't want to be here either. They just showed up with some help...and now everybody in government denies it, strange and ridiculous.

Wrong. The wolves in Washington obviously DID want to be here, since they came here on their own. The wolves that got help are the wolves in Idaho and Montana. Funny how people continue to get confused on that.

Again, for those who aren't aware, there never was a wolf re-introduction in Washington.

and no elk in the blues either.Not sayin just sayin.

[stevemiller]

Bob can you prove that they did not?No,At least no more than we can prove that they did.Why do you think they showed up a few years ago all of a sudden?

[stevemiller]

Even if what you say does have some truth to it,If they brought them close to Wa. then they spread to here,In my honest op. I would say they re- introduced them here. period.You are arguing Semantics.

And you back this statement up with what documented proof?

From the above link:

GENERAL INFORMATION

Were wolves re-introduced to Washington?

No. Wolves are returning naturally from dispersing populations in nearby states and provinces. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) never reintroduced or transplanted wolves into Washington, nor has any other state or federal agency.

How did wolves re-populate the West?

In the mid 1990s, the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) re-introduced 66 wolves from Canada into Montana, Wyoming and Idaho – 31 wolves into Yellowstone National Park and 35 into central Idaho. At that time, about 60 wolves were documented in the northwestern corner of Montana (see Map 1). Since then, wolf populations continue to recover throughout the Northern Rocky Mountains, where the USFWS documented more than 287 wolf packs in the 2011 (see Map 2 and Map 3). In fact, populations have recovered to the point that hunting and trapping are now legal in some states. As these wolf populations continue to recover and expand into other areas, it is likely that Washington will experience additional dispersing wolves in the near future.

Now thats a reliable source!!!   

[stevemiller]

So its just like i said,Semantics bob.The fish and wildlife services did this to us,one way or another.You cant argue that can you?

My insurance agent saw wolves in the back of a WDFW truck 2 years ago, in Republic Washington. She said the wolves heads were sticking out of boxes they were stuffed in.....

The USFWS brought in the wolves, yes. But not to Washington. Wolves were already present in the state prior to the that anyway.
