Sect 11

BUT THE

.

Endangered Species Act of 1973

Is built upon Treaties.

 The Treaties say 

that the species is not to harm agriculture or take another's property.


It is to benefit crops.


That is not the case upon 

New Mexico and Arizona ranches.


Does harming agriculture and taking of one's property remove the species from being protected?

Ranchers Need Answer 


1. What qualifies as undue economic hardships?

2. What qualifies as harming agriculture?

3. How exactly do USFS grazing fees prevent economic harm?

4. Where exactly is the protection?

5. How do wolves benefit the food supply on federal lands?


There are laws in place

Four Treaties

Treaties say species are protected to protect agriculture, persons and/or property.

Whereas, Many of these species are of great value as a source of food or in destroying insects which are injurious to forests and forage plants on the public domain, as well as to agricultural crops, in both the United States and Canada,  

Go to Canada/US Treaty

2. Mexico in 1936:

Article II  (E) The prohibition of the killing of migratory insectivorous birds, except when they become injurious to agriculture and constitute plagues, as well as when they come from reserves or game farms: provided however that such birds may be captured alive and used in conformity with the laws of each contracting country. 

Go to Mexico/US convention 1936

3. Japan in 1972

Article III (1)   Exceptions to the prohibition of taking may be permitted in accordance with the laws and regulations of the respective Contracting Parties in the following cases:

3. It is not in the public's best interest to have wolves take from the nation's food supply.

 to prevent economic disruption and harm to the western livestock industry, it is in the public interest to charge a fee for livestock grazing permits and leases on the public lands which is based on a formula reflecting annual changes in the costs of production.


Ask the Secretary how exactly do our grazing fees prevent economic harm.


Go to 43 USC 1901 (a) (5)

Go to 43 USC 1701 (a) 12

ranches in timber are affected the worst

From Rancher whose calf was attacked by a wolf.

 I found this group of photos to just be incredible and lucky to have caught on camera.  Of course its at one of our waters and right at our driveway. The calf was rescued by those longhorn cows and her mother, a hornless cow.  The wolf can be seen circling around to get at her again.  The calf was protected long enough to be hidden by its mother.  

As of this morning, 8 days after the attack, we put the poor little thing down, she had gangrene, wolf bites are seldom not fatal. These wolves are artificially inseminated, bred in captivity, pups cross fosteres into wild dens, fed at each den piles of zoo logs until the pups are large enough to help kill calves and elk calves.

    As the supreme court  pointed out in  US vs Grimaud 1911, it is your (USFS) function to determine what private use of the National Forest in any given case is consistent with the purposes sought to be attained by the statute. 

    The imposition of harsh and onerous requirements not related to the to the benefit received or to your general responsibility to preserve and manage the NF, 

    might well constitute and abuse of discretion

    1907 NM, 4 wolves killed a cow or calf every three day.
