[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 385620, member: 8833"] As has been said above - It's about time . RMEF has finally come out publicly against wolves. It has not always been that way. When wolves were being discussed initially for reintroduction the RMEF would not - and I repeat would not say a word. For all the years after wolves were reintroduced RMEF stayed quiet. I was one of the very early members of RMEF and talked till I was blue in the face with the local RMEF representative and their response was their mission was something like enhancement for all wildlife not just elk. I was so upset that I never renewed my membership and quit going to any banquets (I know of many others who did the same). I'm afraid for us that have seen up close and personal what has happened here in Mt., Wy., and Idaho with our elk herds where wolves are previlent that it may be too late. There has been a lot of damage done that has no solution in site. Now with the agriculture community so against elk due to the brucelosis outbreaks we have had, I fear for the future of the elk herds in and around Yellowstone Nat. Park for a number of reasons - and wolves are just one of them. I find it ironic that after all these years the RMEF has finally come to their senses - I hope it's not too late. RMEF has a lot of fences that they need to mend on this subject with a lot of former members and I guess this is just the start. We'll see if their actions are louder than their words or if this is just talk. [/QUOTE]
