That same año [1906], bureau biologist Vernon Bailey traveled to Wyoming and New Mexico to investigate the extent of lobo and coyote depredations. Upon Bailey’s return to Washington, D.C., President Roosevelt invited him to the White House to see what he had learned. Although there is no record of their conversation, immediately following Bailey’s meeting the President, the Biological Survey recommended that the government begin “devising methods for the destruction of the animales [wolves].”

By the middle of the 20th Century, government-sponsored extermination had wiped out nearly all...

Oregon lobo Hunt Extended Two más Months, ODFW Defends Its Actions

posted by Dark-Blood

Still missing. The alpha male of the Imnaha pack hasn’t been seen o heard from since May 31st. ODFW photo.

The hunt for two lobos in Wallowa County could last all summer long. That’s the latest word from Oregon pescado and Wildlife.

ODFW is now giving federal agents until the end of August to kill two members of the Imnaha pack. It’s the third time ODFW has extended the hunt.

Also new, ODFW is answering critics in the environmental community who think the agency is violating its own rules, and letting the lobo hunt drag out for too long.

UDATE: May 2, 2012

In light of the Sacramento Bee’s explosive expose on Wildlife Services and the lawsuit filed against the agency por WildEarth Guardians, I felt it would be important to re-post this 2009 piece.

Remember this is a repost, reflecting what was happening in 2009, so a few of the enlaces are outdated but Wildlife Services hasn’t changed, they’re still doing what they’ve been doing for decades, killing wildlife.

Looking Back: Remembering The Sage Creek Pack..

posted by Dark-Blood

May 27, 2012

The Sage Creek Pack was eliminated por aerial gunners in 2009. It was a huge loss. Yellowstone lobos are genetically isolated, the Sage Creek Pack could have provided them with important genetics but that means nothing to the lobo killers. Wildlife Services was aerial gunning lobos even as the first lobo hunt was taking place outside the park, which decimated the famed Cottonwood pack.

“The Sage Creek Pack roamed the Centennial Mountains between Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho – precisely in the area that could alleviate genetic isolation through the influx of wolves...

Aerial Gunning of lobo Pack in Montana Isolates Yellowstone Wolves, Undermines Recovery

posted by Dark-Blood

For Immediate Release, October 9, 2009

SILVER CITY, N.M.— This week’s aerial gunning of the last four members of the Sage Creek lobo pack in southwestern Montana contributes to the genetic isolation of lobos in Yellowstone National Park – even as, on Thursday, the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks commission suspended the public wolf-hunting season near Yellowstone in order not to isolate the national park’s wolves.

Said Michael Robinson of the Center for Biological Diversity: “We are saddened por the loss of the Sage Creek Pack. Suspending the permitted wolf-hunting season near Yellowstone...

lobo Wars: America’s Campaign to Eradicate the lobo

posted by Dark-Blood

lobos have been feared, hated, and persecuted for hundreds of years in North America. Before the arrival of Europeans, Native Americans incorporated lobos into their legends and rituals, portraying them as ferocious warriors in some traditions and thieving spirits in others. European Americans, however, simply despised wolves. Many, including celebrated painter and naturalist John James Audubon, believed lobos ought to be eradicated for the threat they posed to valuable livestock. This attitude enabled a centuries-long extermination campaign that nearly wiped out the gray lobo in the continental...

Lookout Pack Yearling lobo 2008

Washington state is missing the mother of the first lobo pack in the state in seventy years. Apparently the Lookout pack alpha female has been missing since May, why are we just hearing about it now? This will be the fifth lobo missing o dead in the last three months in four states, four of them alphas (parents of the pack).

New Mexico and Arizona have been the hardest hit, losing three highly endangered Mexican gray wolves. Two members of the Hawks Nest pack, who have seven pups, are dead. The alpha male o father was found shot to death in the Apache-Sitgreaves...

Minnesota teen suffers head wounds in fight with attacking lobo

Published August 28, 2013

A 16-year-old boy who fought off a rare apparent lobo attack in northern Minnesota says he won't be sleeping outside anytime soon.

Noah Graham of Solway was camping on Lake Winnibigoshish with five friends last weekend. He told The Pioneer of Bemidji that he was talking with his girlfriend just before the animal chomped the back of his head early Saturday.

Minnesota Department of Natural Resources officials think it's the first documented serious-injury lobo attack on a human in Minnesota.

Well so much for progressive thinking in Oregon. Cattle trump lobos again. The ranchers are whining about six becerro depredations when they’ve lost hundreds probably thousands of calves to coyotes, weather, disease. Why aren’t they complaining about that?

I want the figures on cows and calves lost to non-predation and predation other then wolves, since the beginning of 2010. The new NASS numbers should be out but won’t cover 2010. Stop actuación like...

Wayward lobos

I read an opinion piece in the Salt Lake Tribune concerning lobos return to the state. It’s been years since canis lupus roamed their native lands in Utah, they were extirpated from most of America, save a few pockets of lobos in Minnestota. But in order to make it to Utah they have to cruzar, cruz the “no lobo zone” in Idaho and Wyoming. No easy task since two wolves, trying to set up comprar in Utah, were recently killed for livestock depredation. I always take these reports with a grain of salt because I know and the “wildlife managers” will admit, if asked, that lobos are a mere blip...

The livestock lobo paradigm is a fairy tale, told to justify the quest for a predator free landscape. Yet almost every media reportar concerning lobos concentrates on ranchers and cattle losses.

Coyotes are the number one predator of cattle, namely calves but even the little “song dog” does very little damage. Please stop listening to this drivel and arm yourself with facts. This lobo hunt is Salem, Massachusetts all over again.

Myth drives these political hunts. One of the most repeated is, ”wolves are decimating game herds” , another over the parte superior, arriba accusation. Did tu know there are almost...

Political lobo Hunts….

posted by Dark-Blood

21 Idaho lobos and 7 Montana lobos have been killed in the hunts, that number is going to climb very quickly once the cold weather arrives and forest cover is gone. Trapping in Idaho will lay lobos low. tu will see the numbers of dead lobos skyrocket into the hundreds and all this is completely unnecessary.

There is no reason to hunt wolves, it’s a political witch hunt. The livestock industries’ hysteria concerning lobos is pure theater. Here are the cattle loss figures for 2010:

Cattle Losses 2010
Non-predation (NASS)
Idaho 86, 900
Montana 74,800
Wyoming 37,100

Total Non-Predation: 198,800 cows

===

lobo Predation (USFWS)
Idaho 75
Montana 87
Wyoming 26
========================
Total lobo predation: 188 cows

AND

Even though the hunts are in full swing, Wildlife Services is still killing wolves, paid for por the American people. Remember the reciente aerial gunning of 3 lobos on the Peavey Flat parte superior, arriba Ranch in Idaho?

Hateing lobos

posted by Dark-Blood

I first publicado this on September 29, 2009, just as the first lobo hunts were getting under way. I changed the título and foto but the content remains the same.

Nature Magazine examines reasons behind lobo hatred and the systematic campaign to remove them from the lower forty-eight. It merits repeating that for thousands of years Native Americans were able to live with lobos and bears, while settlers saw them as a threat. Even the famed naturalist James Audubon partook in torturing wolves, which was particularly shocking to learn.

“In 1814, John James Audubon watched...

Wolves – IMAX enlightens us regarding the true nature of this iconic apex predator. Some information is quite dated, traveling back to the heady days of lobo reintroduction in the Northern Rockies, specifically central Idaho. The Nez Perce tribe, like other lobo advocates, had high hopes for the wolves’ return, after their long absence. How the worm has turned.

Looking back, I see how we were all duped into thinking lobo reintroduction would have a happy ending. In reality, it’s clear there was never any real intent to maintain a viable, robust population of lobos outside the national...

Trapping and Snaring

Trapping may be the most inhumane method used por Wildlife Services. Traps can go unchecked for days, allowing the animal to suffer. When not killed outright por the trap, animales can endure physiological trauma, dehydration, exposure to severe weather, and predation por other animals. Most traps are notoriously indiscriminate, capturing almost any animal who triggers them. Non-target species found in traps include endangered species, raptors, dogs, and cats. The most commonly used trap is the steel-jawed leghold trap, a restraining device with spring-loaded jaws that clamp...

“Wayne (1993) elucidated the genetic affinities of three of the members of this canid division, as follows: “The domestic dog is an extremely close relative of the gray wolf, differing from it por at most 0.2% of mtDNA sequence…. In comparison, the gray lobo differs from its closest wild relative, the coyote, por about 4% of mitochondrial DNA sequence.” To summarize, these data suggest the following: (1) gray lobos and coyotes are closely related; and (2) gray lobos are 20 times más closely related to perros than they are to coyotes”….Dr. Robert K.
