Washington Wolf Plan Poll

[sebek556]

I would not call wdfw stupid or intelligent, I do question their motives sometimes though..

[L8NITE]

Must have missed this post earlier...my votes in Strongly NO! They cant control the wildlife we already have. Add  another predator that will soon be out of control and we wont have any deer or elk left to hunt. Between the cougar and out of control wolf population...

[KillBilly]

we are starting to get them in, keep the votes coming we are running out of time!

Yes we are, thanks for your votes guys.

They are feeding us a line they are the same kind of wolf but they average bigger size, much larger packs, breed sooner 1yr old, have more pups 5 vs 1-3, attack other k9's more readily, and don't show fear of humans and human activity. They look the same but arnt

Another myth seems to be that wolves were, or are being, introduced into the state. Also not true:
 
 

Were wolves ever re-introduced to Washington?

No. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) has never reintroduced or transplanted wolves from other states or provinces into Washington, nor has any other state or federal authority. There are no plans to ever do this. There is no reason to bring wolves into Washington because they are returning naturally from dispersing populations in nearby states and provinces.

that statement does not make sense when compared with this statement

Third, recent genetic research involving hundreds of wolves sampled from Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming in the 1990s and 2000s found no evidence that the remnant native population of wolves that differed from the reintroduced wolves. Thus, the wolves present in these states before wolf recovery began were genetically similar to those used in the reintroduction.

either wolves were reintroduced or werent and its hard to have remnant populations of a species supposedly eradicated/exterminated/or for all intents and purposes supposedly wiped to extinction...lies lies and more lies

[high country]

Let him be Muk, we all have a few differences in our perspectives of the situation. We may never agree on how the wolf boom came to be, but we can agree that a competent management plan is needed, and not allowing land owners to defend their property is horsechit in the first degree.

i agree completely high country, I still find it hard to beleave that the state would value a wolf, over a tax payer..

Give this some thought please. Although the WDFW's credibility is thinner than high altitude cold air as far as the Wolf Plan is concerned. The Federal Government is the one forcing us to recover and manage an endangered species. As sad as it is, there are certain areas where WDFW's hands are tied. One of those areas is manpower budget and the use of lethal take. Even if they wantd to utilize lethal take as a primary means, the lovers would have them tied up in Federal Court for sure. So, bottom line is this they aren't really wanting to not allow us to protect our pets and livestock, they just can't say it's okay.....

And.... genetic testing has confirmed that are of the same species that we first had here in Wa.
