3 thoughts on “Deformed wolf that bit Minnesota teen”
Wolves and other native wild animals are under massive assault because of the Livestock Industry, a very powerful lobby in D.C. and in most states, as well. Here in New Mexico, efforts to reintroduce Mexican wolves on public lands (where the Livestock Industry grazes cattle & sheep), have been a horrible failure. Those ranchers (many are also hunters), who graze on our public lands, (at taxpayer -subsidized rates), not only shoot, poison,& trap these animals themselves, but they get Federal Wildlife Services to do massive slaughtering. This is all done on National Forests, wilderness, state & BLM lands, at the behest of the Livestock Industry. I keep saying this and I hope people will start to listen: Until the destructive Livestock Industry is removed from all public lands, there will be no peace or justice–or viable survival–for native wild animals, and especially for the wolves.
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/343/829/766/stop-public-lands-ranching/The Public Lands Ranching Industry is destroying National Forests, BLM lands, wilderness areas and state lands in The West. Ranchers get to graze livestock, which are exotic animals, on our fragile public lands at below-market grazing fees, paid for by taxpayers.
I suspected something abnormal about a wolf biting the hand of a teen, mostly suspecting that the teen was lying and was feeding the wolf and claimed the bite was unprovoked or baited by his actions.
The comment above about ranchers destroying public land and infringing on wilderness and wildlife is right on and not enough commented on by conservation groups. In Montana there are 772 permits ($1.35 per animal unit per month) to graze on national forest lands and 3776 permits to ranch farm on Bureau of Land Management (AKS Bureau of Land Mafia) land with 23,000 such permits in 16 western states. Many, most really, of the ranchers complain about coyotes, wolves, bison, lions and bears. They want it all, in their entitlement thinking, public land is their land. So, ranchers/farmers, to a large extent, at the expense of wilderness and wildlife (encroachment), produce their product, with public support, to sell much of it overseas. We need to hear more from wildlife and wilderness conservation organizations about efforts to buy out/retire grazing and farming on public land.
