- These wolves kill anything but their preferred target is elk.
- They are reproducing at a rate of 24% to 35% per year
and currently number well over 1,000 in Idaho and 2,000 in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming!
- Each wolf kills 2 animals a month for
food and another 2 per month for sport or "thrill" kill!
- Do the math: We are loosing between 24,000
to 48,000 animals a year increasing by 30% a year!
- They prefer the newborn and unborn which has very dire consequences for
our Elk species and has resulted in plunging the Idaho Elk calf-to-cow ratio to it's lowest count in
recorded history.
- The wolves are killing out the future of our herds. We apparently didn't learn from the Banff National
Forest example cited on the next page!
- When the elk are gone these predators will still eat, they'll just adapt and change
prey.
One dog killed, one in the hospital, and some women lucky they had Pepper Spray.
This guy was lucky, he was close to camp. He could have easily been a statistic.
It took years for these killers to run out of prey up north. It will only take a short while down here.
Another Pet attacked by Wolves
Aired on Versus:
The first time we have seen a member of the National Media addressing this issue.
Thrill Kill:
Just like the native Timber Wolf, Coyotes won't survive.
Grizzley with Cubs:
Everyone knows to avoid a bear with cubs...not these wolves.
Alaka Governor Sarah Palin has had enough and writes a letter to congress.
After being involved in this effort for nearly two years and speaking with key personnel from numerous states at all levels of government and the private sector, we have an opinion. See the "Recent Developments" page.
This Canadian Wolf evolved to help control millions of Caribu. Elk aren't as fast and are easy prey.
It's interesting that every time we find film footage like this they ALWAYS cut away as the Wolf starts to Eat. Wolves don't kill the animal before they begin to eat and will eat it alive! Apparently this fact is just too gruesome for the average person to believe.
The original director of the West Yellowstone reintroduction says it's to Drive 30,000 Ranchers OFF Public Land.
You better keep an eye on your Pets!
