Not a huge fan of the kettle range conservation.
They are saying the cows are destroying the national forest.
Basically saying cows are..... Eating all the grass,poop in the creek,making to many cow trails,destroying the ecosystem.
Things of that nature. The grass they eat along the roads gets rid of a lot of fuel for fire danger alone.

Lethal removal has probably caused more dispersion and growth in wolf numbers than any other single factor.  Be careful what you sue for

Depends on who is doin the shooting, WDFW always seem to leave a few wolves to carry on the cow killing education. In other parts of the country cow killers are hit hard and give cows a break till the next bunch moves in, and the cycle starts all over..

Years ago the USFWS discovered that when wolves started in on livestock they had to take out the whole pack, right down to the pups, course that was in Wyoming where they stuck to their guns, so to speak.

Agreed, WDFW has simply primed the pump

Not only is it a hard life raising cattle, but the legal barriers have become overwhelming. Screw the USFWS and DFW on the wolf program. There's no reason these eaters should be allowed to take precedence over peoples' livelihoods.
