Delisting

Wolf losses continue to mount.  Moving the fed endangered line to the Pacific crest trail would help with the problem, getting it down to one agency for most of the losses.  Not that this a solution just one very small step toward management.  WDFW paid $3700 dollars out of a $1.27 million wolf budget for wolfs kills.  I know one producer that lost more than that and was not paid a dime, inconclusive cause.  Keeping the pressure on for positive change could help.

ducks4days:
Is there a petition or bill?

nwwanderer:
Not at this time, a producer made the suggestion, just passing it along, thanks

dwils233:
Delisting would be politically impossible until they meet all recovery metrics in all recovery zones....thats still years away.

Downlisting is the conversation/decision in front of the Commission right now. Technically they are considering a double downlisting- from state endangered to sensitive. Honestly, if the Commission could compromise to a single downlisting (threatened), that would be a huge win, but they seem unwilling to recognize that successful wolf recovery is happening, just not exactly to a 15 year old plan's idea of recovery.

We'll never see management until we can acknowledge recovery has/is happening.

pianoman9701:
They won't delist regardless of whether or not metrics are met in all recovery zones. Anyone who believes otherwise hasn't been paying attention to the Commission's actions regarding other predators. The protection of cougars, bears, wolves, and grizzlies is a concerted effort to damage game animal numbers enough to severely limit or end the hunting of our resources and the raising of livestock. This has been the plan ever since King Inslee top-loaded the Commission with animal rights activists.
