[QUOTE="jmden, post: 589091, member: 1742"] Carefully read through the points that detail the difference in habits/actions between these two very different types of wolves in this email link below from one of the people most involved in documenting the existence of the wolves that were here before the non-native, invasive Canadian Grey wolf was introduced: [url]http://www.skinnymoose.com/bbb/2011/01/21/native-rocky-mountain-wolves-v-introduced-canadian-gray-wolves/[/url] The information is this email is and should be a major sticking point in this issue in my (albeit fallible) mind. The Feds helicopter net gunned a very different wolf from not too far over the Canadian border, brought it back south across the 49 parallel and suddenly it's 'endangered'. Think about that. The whole thing is a complete farce. Dr. Val Geist is quoted as saying that 50% of a given wolf population would have to be killed every year for years to have an appreciable effect on increasing elk populations in the same areas. See below link: [url]http://explorethebitterroot.com/removal-of-west-fork-wolves-unlikely-to-help-declining-elk-populations[/url] From above article: "Renowned wolf biologist, Dr. L. David Mech told me in a recent interview that removing wolves from the West Fork region would probably have little to no effect on restoring elk numbers.

Dr. Mech believes we would have to remove far more wolves than the Federal Government will consider allowing to have any chance at helping the elk population." This is a serious issue, made much more serious because of the kind of animal introduced.
