We can see where this is headed, it matters not one whit to these groups that ranching has been on the land in this area for over a hundred years and that people are dependent on these grazing allotments to sustain their businesses and their private homes and lands are attached to these allotments. They will loose all if grazing allotments are made off limits becuase suddenly they have become wolf habitat.
We can see this destroying ranching through political action coupled with misinformation or carefully censored information implying that these allotments are in wolf territory rather than the wolves are on historical grazing allotments long attached to historic ranches. We can also stand here and watch as wolves kill the livestock and the pro-wolfers shove their fantastic fib down the public’s throats, or we can push for realistic and legal wolf control and property protection and public education to garner support for protecting their rural economy, lifestyles and peoples.
It’s encouraging to hear some truth from someone looking at the whole picture, rather than those who are focused on the single aspect of the problem. Their prejudiced followers insist that we allow the wolves to do and be what the political action advocates have embraced and implemented. They blindly ignore the devastation of such unconscionable choices and behavior. Those of us who are deeply concerned for our entire natural environment need to develop into a supportive and proactive community who will, as you have stated, push for realistic and legal wolf control and property protection. Public education (not pulling what wool is left over the blithe pro-wolfers eyes)is desperately needed. When they awake one day to discover that indeed, they have lost their beloved rural economy, lifestyles and peoples, it will be too late. I suppose then that the powers that be will be “whoops-ing” and then springing onboard to remedy the awfulness of what they created so that they can re-create, according to their twisted ideas, what we irreparably lost.
Our ranchers have historically contributed to, maintained through sensible practices, and sustained our rural economy. Their hard-working and sacrificial efforts and management have made this area into what it is. Our recreational wilderness and the beauty and wonder of our wildlife left in its NATURAL state is being annihilated because of the interference into the natural balance.
