More than 460 Yellowstone bison killed so far this season

All the more reason Our National Parks need our proposed “Sacred Resource Protection Zone”

The Image is what happens to Red Dogs when a Hunter is allowed to kill Buffalo. Their Offspring also dies a slow death by starvation! Totally DISGUSTING YES!!

We do not have enough Buffalo left to even allow Tribes to shoot them like shooting a Cow in a stall…..

With the season nearing its end, tribal hunters have killed more than 200 Yellowstone National Park bison this winter with another 267 shipped to slaughter,

according to information gathered by the National Park Service as of March 20.

The goal for this season was to remove 600 to 900 bison. Lawsuits filed last year to halt the bison hunts were unsuccessful.

The hunters from seven tribal nations killed twice as many bison as they did during 2019’s hunt. State hunters, who acquire licenses through a lottery conducted by Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, killed four bison this season, all adult males.

The meat from bison sent to slaughter is shared between tribes that have agreements with the Interagency Bison Management Plan cooperators — a consortium of tribes, federal and state officials.

In addition to the hunting, the Park Service had so far removed 87 bison for its quarantine program, shy of a planned capture of about 110 bison. Bison that pass the initial phases of quarantine — showing no signs of exposure to the disease brucellosis — can be shipped to the Fort Peck Reservation’s corrals for final confinement and testing. Once that protocol is successfully completed the animals would be available for transfer to other tribal bison herds.

Lawsuit

In an attempt to stop the continued slaughter of Yellowstone bison, three conservation groups filed a complaint on Monday asking a U.S. District Court judge in Washington, D.C., to reconsider the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s 2019 denial of a petition to protect the bison under the Endangered Species Act. The groups filing the complaint are Buffalo Field Campaign, Friends of Animals, and Western Watersheds Project.

The conservation alliance argues that the culling and killing of bison has endangered the herd by removing family groups and threatening distinct genetic subpopulations. Continuing to lower the park’s bison population could cause inbreeding or the loss of specific genetic adaptations, they argue.

Bison

As of last fall Yellowstone was home to more than 4,800 bison divided into two herds: the larger (3,600) Northern Range herd and the smaller (1,100) Central herd. The bison are one of the last remaining genetically pure bison populations in the United States.

Yet under a compact between the state of Montana and the National Park Service it was agreed Yellowstone’s bison herds should be reduced to lessen migrations outside the park boundary — hence the capture, slaughter and quarantine programs.

In the past six years park officials have removed more than 4,700 bison from the park, according to Yellowstone’s fall bison status report.

That includes 1,233 calves and nearly 800 adolescents (12 to 16 months). The idea behind removing removing large numbers of calves and adolescents is to reduce the number of animals reaching reproductive maturity, the agency stated.

In that same time frame, Yellowstone has also removed more than 1,733 adult females and 1,005 adult males.

Disease

The park’s bison are carriers of brucellosis, which can cause pregnant cattle to abort. Elk also carry brucellosis and roam freely in the Greater Yellowstone Area.

Ranchers surrounding the park vaccinate their livestock against the disease.

Instead of slaughtering elk to reduce their populations, ranchers and the state of Montana attempt to keep elk and cattle separated when the threat of disease transmission is greatest — when elk calve in the spring. The birthing materials are believed to be the main source of brucellosis transmission.

N.W.T. government hoping to shoot wolves by air next week

This is simply APPALLING!!

‘Under no circumstances’ is successful bidder to release photos or videos to public, government says

The Northwest Territories government is rushing to hire a helicopter and shooter to start killing up to 300 of the wolves preying on declining caribou herds.

The Northwest Territories government is rushing to hire a helicopter and shooter to start killing up to 300 wolves preying on declining caribou herds.

The aerial cull is part of a wolf reduction plan proposed by the N.W.T. and Tłı̨chǫ governments. They want the wolf populations that prey on the Bathurst and Bluenose East caribou herds reduced by up to 80 per cent. An estimated 420 wolves hunt the herds.

Details of the cull are laid out in a request for tenders for a helicopter, pilot and shooter, that the government published Tuesday.

It says a fixed wing aircraft with spotter will fly over the winter ranges of the herds in the territory’s North Slave region and relay global positioning system coordinates of wolves it spots to the shooter and pilot in the helicopter.

The Department of Environment and Natural Resources wants the contract to start on Monday and continue for 10 to 20 days. It is currently working on placing 30 satellite collars on wolves that will give their locations in real time.

The tender also reveals the government’s sensitivity to public perception of the cull. It says the successful bidder is not allowed to take any photographs or video with their own equipment and “under no circumstances” can release them to non-government personnel, media or social media sites.

The request for bids on the project closes Friday.

Shooting wolves from helicopters has proven to be an effective way of reducing wolf numbers but there are questions around how humane it is.  A 2015 study of an aerial cull in Alberta concluded that wolves shot from helicopters were not consistently killed humanely.

“Painful injuries and inhumane kills will inevitably occur, even with the hiring of skilled helicopter pilots and proficient shooters,” researchers wrote.

Reluctant acceptance

The cull comes after years of increasing restrictions on the hunting of caribou in the N.W.T., including by Indigenous people who have relied on caribou as their main food source for millennia.

“The elders have always said we have to respect the animals, including the wolves,” Yellowknives Dene First Nation Chief Edward Sangris said. “Hunting them from helicopters is not the best method to carry out. But they also said we have to look into the issue of the reducing caribou herd. If it helps, they’re okay with it, but up to a point.”

Sangris said hunting restrictions and the scarcity of caribou are having a profound impact on his people, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. He said having to turn to store-bought meat is probably hurting their immune systems.

A similar aerial wolf cull that’s been used for five years in northern British Columbia has seen caribou populations shift from declining by 15 per cent each year to increasing by that amount. A biologist from that program said because wolf populations bounce back very quickly, the aerial culling has to continue until the real cause of the caribou decline — habitat disturbance — is addressed.

• N.W.T. wolf cull plan that includes shooting from aircraft approved

• N.W.T. releases plan to protect Bathurst caribou, but some fear it’s too late

Sangris is sceptical about the government taking action on that front

“All they do is talk,” he said. “They don’t follow up with any action. Certainly industry is putting pressure on wildlife. We have to consider how much is too much.”

Sangris said climate change and the warmer winters it brings may also be disrupting caribou migration patterns, with more animals wintering above the treeline.

Roads or caribou

The decline of the caribou herds coincides with the rise of diamond mining in the N.W.T. The two biggest mines, Diavik and Ekati, have been operating for more than 20 years. They are located between the Bathurst herd’s calving ground at Bathurst Inlet, Nunavut, and its winter range north of Great Slave Lake.

$400,000 in Idaho State Funding to Kill Wolves Approved by Lawmakers

BOISE, ID – An Idaho board responsible for the killing of wolves that attack livestock and other wildlife is a step closer to getting an additional $400,000 in state funding.

The funds were approved in a 26-4 Senate vote on Wednesday. The funding now only needs the approval of Governor Brad Little.

The Idaho Wolf Depredation Control Board is funded by a mix of contributions from livestock producers, Idaho Department of Fish and Game fees and the state’s general fund.

Earlier this week, the Department of Fish and Game reported the conclusion of wolf control actions done during February that removed 17 wolves in the Lolo elk zone north of Highway 12.

USDA Wildlife Services agrees to temporarily halt lethal wolf control, ‘cyanide bomb’ use

Protect The Wolves™ Certainly Hopes that the $154,000 settlement terms for this Lawsuit are payed where it Belongs!!! With Canyon Mansfields Family!!

USDA Wildlife Services has reached a settlement with five conservation organizations agreeing to temporarily stop using lethal methods to target gray wolves on certain public lands and to suspend its use of M-44s, also known as “cyanide bombs.”

The new restrictions will remain in place until the federal agency completes an environmental review of the impacts of killing wolves.

The settlement between Wildlife Services and Western Watersheds Project, the Center for Biological Diversity, Friends of the Clearwater, WildEarth Guardians and Predator Defense was filed in U.S. District Court on Wednesday.

In June 2016, the plaintiffs filed a lawsuit alleging the agency and its Idaho director, Todd Grimm, violated the National Environmental Policy Act by failing to complete an environmental impact statement for its gray wolf control activities in the state. The case was dismissed in District Court in January 2018, on the basis that the plaintiffs didn’t have standing to file it.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held in April of 2019 that the plaintiffs did have standing and remanded the case back to District Court.

Under terms of the settlement, the agency will pay $154,000 in attorney fees to the plaintiffs.

Wildlife Services will temporarily halt lethal control methods of gray wolves within federally designated wilderness areas, the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area and specified areas of Sawtooth Valley and Wood River Valley.

The agency will be restricted from using surveillance technology to target gray wolves in Idaho wilderness areas, and it will not be allowed to use lethal methods to target wolves on private land unless it’s in response to a documented livestock depredation or attack by a gray wolf. The agency will provide plaintiffs with depredation investigation reports from the prior ear by July 31, as well as copies of other reports prepared for the Wolf Depredation Control Board.

“Wildlife Services won’t be able to keep ignoring the science that shows that killing predators does not reduce livestock losses,” Talasi Brooks, a staff attorney with Western Watersheds Project, said in a press release.

In addition to avoiding M-44 cyanide bombs, Wildlife Services will not kill Idaho wolves for ungulate protection and will not use snares to target gray wolves on Idaho public lands.

Canyon Mansfield of Pocatello was 14 when he was harmed and his dog was killed by a cyanide bomb about three years ago. The device was set illegally and without proper signage on public land near his home.

“This news is very uplifting because it shows progress in our fight for justice for (my deceased dog) Kasey and everyone else who has suffered from these cyanide bombs,” Canyon Mansfield said in a press release. “I believe this shows that we are fighting a battle with a victory in sight.”

Laurie Rule, an attorney for Advocates for the West, said the forthcoming analysis will be detailed and will look at the science surrounding the agency’s lethal controls of predators to inform its new program.

“We’ll be watching carefully to make sure the analysis complies with all laws and fully examines the impacts and effectiveness of predator damage management in Idaho,” Rule said in the press release.

Lawsuit limits where and how federal agency may kill wolves in Idaho

Where and how the federal government may kill Idaho wolves has been curtailed, at least temporarily.

According to a settlement filed in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services may not kill wolves in Idaho’s wilderness areas, in the Sawtooth or Hells Canyon National Recreation Areas, and in portions of the Sawtooth Valley and Wood River Valley.

Wildlife Services also may not kill wolves in an effort to boost or protect deer and elk numbers, nor use cyanide traps or snare traps to kill wolves.

The settlement stems from a 2016 lawsuit arguing that the federal agency’s wolf-killing protocol violated the National Environmental Policy Act, in part by not taking into account new research questioning whether killing wolves actually reduces attacks on livestock.

Wildlife Services is tasked with resolving conflicts between humans and wildlife. The agency killed 1.5 million animals in 2018, according to the agency’s data, including 357 wolves.

Per the settlement, the agency still may kill wolves that have attacked livestock on private land if there is documentation. Wildlife Services must also check all wolf traps within 72 hours.

A federal judge in Boise initially dismissed the suit, but in April 2019 the 9th Circuit upheld the case, prompting the sides to come to a settlement.

Per the settlement’s agreement, the limitations on wolf killing will last until Wildlife Services completes a new Environmental Impact Statement, a process that could take years.

In February, the Idaho Fish and Game Commission approved nine proposals to extend wolf hunting and trapping seasons following a two-week public comment period in which the commission received more than 27,000 responses from across the world. In January, IDFG estimated there are more than 1,500 wolves in Idaho. Federal criteria for wolf recovery requires only 150 wolves in the state.

A spokeswoman for Wildlife Services did not respond to emailed questions.

17 Mexican Gray Wolves Were Found Dead in 2018 | Time to change status quo

It is time to change the Status Quo, there is only one way in which to do that effectively. That is to change the path, go with using new research, rights be they religious or not if one truly cares about protecting their children’s resources.

(ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.) — Wildlife managers have confirmed a record number of Mexican gray wolves have been reported dead this year, fueling concerns about the decades-long effort to return the endangered predator to the southwestern U.S.

Five wolves were found dead in New Mexico in November, bringing the total for the year to 17. That marks the most wolves killed in any single year since the reintroduction effort began in 1998, and it’s one of the deadliest months in the program’s history.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is investigating but hasn’t said how the animals died.

The dead wolves include a female pup, two male wolves and the leaders of two packs — one that roams the mountainous area along the Arizona-New Mexico border and another that lives in the north-central portion of the Gila National Forest in southwestern New Mexico.

WDFW clearly is Hiding the Truth/ Taxpayer dollars spent

 

WDFW is clearly hiding the truth! They are trying to claim they only spent $15,000 on lethal removal in 2018. It is time that the public ring Susewinds phone off the hook asking them why they are hiding what should be publicly available.

Look folks… the total that they are claiming is so far from the truth, considering they spent $135,000 the year before on 1/3 the slaughter

WDFWs Susewind pandering to Ranchers with no regard for science

Susewind needs to start managing based on Science, not the whim of Ranchers. Susewind and Martorello have made it quite clear that Dr. Robert Wieglus Research is in fact accurate. They further need to follow through on what it is that they promise to provide as far as Our Phone Conferences are concerned.

The Washington official who has the last word on whether to kill wolves says he struggled with making the call last summer, but decided that culling three packs that were attacking cattle was necessary and would not prevent wolves from recolonizing the state.

Fish and Wildlife Director Kelly Susewind spoke on a department video about being confronted with the decision in August during his first month on the job.

“I know the idea of killing wolves is deeply troubling for many Washingtonians, and I had to come to terms with it myself,” he said. “I had to come to terms with it within just the first few weeks of taking the job.”

The department posted the 4 minute, 37 second video on its YouTube channel Thursday. In it, Susewind says Fish and Wildlife is committed to wolf recovery and that “removing a small number of wolves to address conflicts will have no appreciable effect on wolf recovery in our state.”

Susewind moved from the Department of Ecology to take over as Fish and Wildlife director during another summer of wolf depredations on cattle, mostly in northeast Washington. Susewind had been Ecology’s top official on water-protection policies.

Within weeks of taking over at Fish and Wildlife, Susewind authorized shooting a wolf in the Togo pack in Ferry County. A Thurston County judge initially blocked the operation. Another judge allowed it to go forward at a hearing 11 days later attended by Susewind. In September and November, the department vigorously defended in court Susewind’s decision to remove wolves in the Smackout and Old Profanity Territory packs. In all, the department shot four wolves in the three packs.

“The decisions I made to remove wolves from those packs were difficult, but I believe I made the right call,” he said. “One reason is I based those decisions on the state’s wolf plan and the department’s protocol. The department’s protocol was developed by a broad diversity of stakeholders.”

Fish and Wildlife conferred with its Wolf Advisory Group. Members of the group who represent environmental and animal-welfare organizations opposed culling wolves in the Old Profanity Territory pack. They complained that shooting wolves in that part of the Colville National Forest was occurring too frequently.

In court hearings so far, Fish and Wildlife has defended rancher efforts to use non-lethal measures to prevent attacks. The state had at least 122 wolves at the end of 2017 and culling a handful won’t stop recovery, the department argues.

“Make no mistake, wolves are doing well,” Susewind said. “They’re here to stay. I do believe people and wolves can co-exist as long as we work together as stakeholders to find creative solutions that meet the needs of both wolves and our communities.”

Seriously? Taxpayers have been footing your bill on almost free grazing for decades. We have to agree with Rep. Peter DeFazio, a Democrat who represents Oregon’s 4th District, in defense of keeping federal protections on wolves. He called the bill “a talking point for a few idiots.”

The Large NGOs have refused to even respond to multiple invitations that have been sent them. What are they afraid of?

It is past time for Large NGOs to set aside their opinions and views and support an Organization with tools and research that none of these Large NGOs have.

Does the Public want to begin changing the status Quo? We offer the public Research and tools that NONE of these large NGOs have 😉  Perhaps it is time for the Public to show them that it is time for a new path.

EastOregonian- The U.S. House of Representatives has passed legislation that would remove the grey wolf from the federal Endangered Species list. The bill passed on a 196-180 vote.

The measure would strip wolves of federal protection in California, and the western two-thirds of Oregon and Washington. Wolves already have been de-listed in Idaho and the eastern one-third of Oregon and Washington.

Cattlemen are hailing the measure’s passage. It now goes to the U.S. Senate where, because chamber rules require 60 votes to end debate, it faces extremely long odds.

We take exception to comments made by Rep. Peter DeFazio, a Democrat who represents Oregon’s 4th District, in defense of keeping federal protections on wolves. He called the bill “a talking point for a few idiots.”

We recognize there are honest disagreements about wildlife policy, but insulting the intelligence of your opponents is hardly the stuff of thoughtful debate. The cattle and sheep producers of the West are not idiots and they deserve more respect from an elected representative.

We also think DeFazio should consider those who have to deal with the wolves first hand.

DeFazio told the House about Oregon’s famous “wandering wolf,” OR-7. OR-7 hailed from northeast Oregon. He wandered to California, came back into the southern Cascades where he found a mate and has produced pups. He and his progeny, seven or eight wolves in total, comprise the Rogue pack — so named not for their behavior but after the river valley where they roam.

“Guess what? We are not having catastrophic predation on cattle in Southern Oregon,” DeFazio said. “We could accommodate more wolves.”

The Rogue pack has a taste for livestock. It was credited with five confirmed kills in a three-week period earlier this month. Producers say the toll is higher, but those kills have not been confirmed by state wildlife officials.

Are the losses to depredation in Western Oregon “catastrophic?” Certainly not, if you aren’t running cattle or sheep on public and private grazing allotments.

Maybe DeFazio would have a different opinion if his livelihood was being devoured on the hoof and there was little he could do about it because the federal government tied his hands.

The gentleman from Springfield need not fear. His district will get more wolves. But should ranchers be forced to continue to bear their losses?

We have always believed that wolves have a place in the wild. But we’ve never believed that cattlemen and sheep producers should be required to provide a free buffet.

It’s time to end the protections for wolves as they continue to multiply and spread across the region without any help from wildlife managers.

Montana lawmakers have already passed legislation forbidding creation of a buffer zone – The New York Times

Montana lawmakers have already passed legislation forbidding creation of a buffer zone.

The Path to helping to protect our children’s resources still has a way forward with working towards establishing our Proposed “Sacred Resource Protection Zone”. All that is need to begin working towards this is all 57,800 plus followers joining together with Us as 1 Voice.

The shooting of another Lamar Canyon pack member has added more emphasis on the need for Our Proposed “Sacred Resource Protection Zone” between Yellowstone and nearby lands, to not only protect roaming wolves, but grizzlies, bison, elk as well as the resources that we are mandated to protect for our children.

Will the public choose to maintain the present policy or begin to support a Native American Religious Organization, with a new path, and research to move forward?

With your help we can work towards insuring that these environmentally important Keystone Species are! Help us to put The Indian and Public Trusts to work Today https://continuetogive.com/protectthewolves

With all of the publics support We can begin working towards establishing Our Proposed “Sacred Resource Protection Zone”.

What is our SRPZ? It is a 50km area around our National parks, that will help protect your childrens Resources that have become habituated to humans by none of their own fault. Our Terminology has already caught the eye of The Rocky Mountain Department of Justice. The only missing ingredient is 57,800 followers that truly want to begin changing the status quo.

Cooke City, Mont. — A wild wolf known as 926F, aka “Spitfire”, has made her way into the hearts of wolf watchers, visitors, foreign visitors who visit Yellowstone, she was needlessly killed by a hunter as she wandered just outside the park boundary last weekend.

 She was a member of the Lamar Canyon pack in the national park’s northeast region, Spitfire was the daughter of the legendary 06 Shewolf, an alpha female that had become a celebrity, famous for her hunting prowess and for her frequent appearances along the road traveled by tourists in the park’s Lamar Valley. that wildlife managers in other states have argued with Us regarding her already proven abilities. Needless to say that wildlife manager committed to learning about her, but never did bother to confirm that he felt it important enough to accomplish. Any idea on whom that particular Manager is? Take a wild guess… After those have attempted to answer this question in the comments below, the name will in fact be posted 😉

While wolf biologists called the mother 832F, She had a more special name to those that loved her “Shewolf” and was famously nicknamed as “06” for the very year she was born, she was also killed by a hunter as well.

Still, wolf hunting near Yellowstone has been extremely controversial, as it should not be allowed to begin with. The Resources that originate from within Yellowstones Boundaries, should be considered the resources of the majority, and not allow a state like Wyoming to even count them in their management numbers. Wyoming has already been busted for selling federally banned poisons, as such have already proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are in capable of managing the Publics resources and should be legally denied any management input when it comes to Our Children’s Resources.

  Wolves, Grizzlies, Bison that have spent time being Our Wild ambassadors to not only domestic visitors, but visitors from around the word. In so doing these magnificent species have made their way into hearts from around the globe, As such these Ambassadors deserve 100% of the publics participation to insure that they remain protected for future generations to marvel. This slaughter mentality is highlighting the clash between the New West’s ecotourism and the Old West’s mentality of claiming that hunting is to protect game and livestock. Let’s be factual here folks, Hunters in Montana in 2017 slaughtered 31,000 Elk, Wyoming and Idaho both another 26,000 each. Hunters have somehow decided that they are in fact conservationists. Conservationists folks do not go out and intentionally kill the strongest genes out of a herds gene pool. and once again we will show what exactly the definition of Conservation is:

con·ser·va·tion

/ˌkänsərˈvāSH(ə)n/

noun

noun: conservation

1. the action of conserving something, in particular.

   • preservation, protection, or restoration of the natural environment, natural ecosystems, vegetation, and wildlife.

     synonyms:

     preservation, protection, safeguarding, safekeeping; More

   • preservation, repair, and prevention of deterioration of archaeological, historical, and cultural sites and artifacts.
   • prevention of excessive or wasteful use of a resource.
   • PHYSICS

     the principle by which the total value of a physical quantity (such as energy, mass, or linear or angular momentum) remains constant in a system.

Wolves were restored to the park in the 1990s and quickly grew in number. About 100 wolves belong to 10 packs in Yellowstone, which is also helping to restore Yellowstones natural ecosystems to a time when without human involvement they were in fact healthy.

  Some claim that some 1,700 wolves still reside in the Northern Rocky Mountain states of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming, however with the numbers of wolves that each of these states are slaughtering yearly, their refusal to count wolves accurately we would have to dispute these claimed numbers based on shear ability of wolves and their families to survive in the wild. Numbers that actually might be able to survive we seriously doubt are outnumbering the amount that these blood thirsty states are in fact slaughtering.

 We will close out this article with an observation that being of the recent election. Thus far year in and year out, groups have tried to establish their so called buffer zone, each year expecting different results. The only thing that has successfully happened out of those attempts, is the fact that states have created legislation preventing their so called buffer zone.

Look folks looking throughout history that in order to change the status quo, sometimes it is necessary to vote in a change of ideas, research etc. just as was witnessed in the mid term elections. Our Children’s resources are not any different if you stop to think about it. Large NGOs have tried their best, and we applaud their efforts, but have simply continued maintaining the status quo. They have also refused to accept any invitations from Us to participate in our Legal minds conference, as well as have refused to respond period to any invitation.

Perhaps it is time to bring that change now folks. We have fought long and hard to get our research recognized and into the courts. We have progressed as far as humanly possible based on the limited amount of support to date. We have so much more to give in protecting our children’s resources and with all of our followers pitching in, We can begin to usher in changes that in fact will begin changing this status quo.
