Feds hand wolf-management duties over to Montana 6/25/05
liability was passed off to the states.A hot potato that they couldn't wait to toss.
Some lady at USFWS to Harriett Hageman, Esq. who is suing for the Counties , orgs, etc. in WY asked this senior wolf lady at the top of USFWS wolf introduction;"since you rarely,if ever,delist a specie, why do you want to hand over control to the states?"
answer ....."We(the USFWS) don' t want to be holding the bag when the decimation of the wildlife becomes apparent"
Lets make one thing abundantly clear, Montana FWP is on a 5 year probation period and can ,and will , lose jurisdiction& funding if they so much as fart without permission from Val Asher of the Turner Endangered Species fund who is on loan to the USFWS from the TESF at the request of Ed Bangs who had dozens of other more qualified candidates to choose from .
The Turner Endangered Species Fund is a virulent proponent of the "WildLandsProject". Mike Phillips, Executive Director of the TESF said to an audience of 600 on 2/24/00 in Duluth , Minn(in summary) "the goal of wolf recovery is to drive 30,000 ranchers off public lands" Ed Bangs,Dave Mech, Doug Smith, William Hartwig were there when he said it. A text of that speech was circulated widely when Phillips ran for the Montana House and was defeated.
Wolves carry and transmit Foot and Mouth disease in "hot spots" in the vastness of Russia/Siberia/Eurasia according to half dozen Russian wolf PhDs.
Superimpose a map of the American west over the aforementioned geographic area we are in a closet compared to Russia/Eurasia
Remember what Kurt Alt of Montana FWP said; The Yellowstone Ecosystem has some of the highest wolf DENSITIES in North America.
