[QUOTE="jmden, post: 373523, member: 1742"] Amen. Below is an excerpt from one of the many articles compiled at www. saveelk.com seen here at: [url=http://saveelk.com/wolf_027.htm]The Outdoorsman[/url]. This is one of the things that makes many quite angry, myself included. These aren't even the wolves that were here!! I would encourage anyone to set aside some time and visit the saveelk.com site and learn about this issue from another side than that propagated by popular media outlets. [B][FONT=Times-Bold][SIZE=3][FONT=Times-Bold][SIZE=3][LEFT]Bangs Ignored ESA Subspecies Criteria[/LEFT] [/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][/B][FONT=Times-Bold][SIZE=3][FONT=Times-Bold][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Times-Roman][SIZE=3][FONT=Times-Roman][SIZE=3][LEFT]In that letter Bangs changed the definition of a confirmed wild wolf to be protected under the ESA to any animal that looks and acts like a wolf and has either survived in the wild or reproduced in the wild. He boldly asserted that neither domesticated wolves nor wolf-dog hybrids can survive in the wild and said any animal that has been observed to survive is “confirmed” as a wild wolf. By providing that new definition, [I][B]Bangs ignored[/B][/I] [I][B]20 years of scientific deliberation during which the FWS[/B][/I] [I][B]Deputy Solicitor ultimately determined that only the[/B][/I] [I][B]distinct subspecies known to have inhabited an area could[/B][/I][I][B]be reintroduced to satisfy ESA requirements.[/B][/I] Bangs paved the way to protect and propagate assorted wolf-dog, wolfcoyote and wolf-wolf hybrids in the Western Great Lakes and Northern Rocky Mountains Wolf Recovery Areas.[/LEFT] [/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
