Probably too many facts for a few of you, much of the article explains what has been and is happening in WA...
"Any thoughts of large reductions in wolf densities to protect property like cattle, sheep or dogs; or to allow large ungulates to recover and maintain hunt-able populations are pipedreams.
In conclusion, this “Recovery”, “Delisting” and “Returning Wolf Management to the States” are like prescribing an opioid to kill pain while the underlying malady increases the inevitable likelihood of a very bad outcome. The phony “Recovery” levels are now established and the States must pay to keep them there."
And there you have it, the corrupt USFWS and WDFW's predator program to end hunting and make life hard on rural communities...Wolf lovers along with the fake environmentalist should be extremely proud of themselves.
