AZ and NM Mexican Wolf Program
Kills the nation's
food supply,
Based on
Foreign Treaties
It is not OK to have property taken.
A Ranchers' job
is to
Feed the nation,
Not the wolf.
Below are five points to be noted to protect the livestock industry:
1. Secretary of Agriculture or Interior may take action Undue Economic Hardships as (s)he seems fit.
The Secretary may make further requirements for a showing of undue economic hardships as he deems fit. Exceptions granted under this section may be limited by the Secretary in his discretion as to time, area, or other factor of applicability. 16 USC 1539 (b)(3)
Ask the Secretary what requirements qualify as undue economic hardships.

2. Endangered Species Act is based on Treaties.
To conserve to the extent practicable the various species of fish or wildlife and plants facing extinction, pursuant to—
migratory bird treaties with Canada and Mexico;
and others
Within the Treaties, harming livestock or taking property removes a species protection.
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.

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 43USC1901 (A)(5).
Ask the Secretary, where is the protection for the livestock industry from the wolf.

Below are newspaper articles from early 1900's about wolves.
Remember the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, was passed to protect the farmers' crops by protecting birds that ate insects.
ranches in timber are affected the worst
From Rancher whose calf was attacked by a wolf (top of page).
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.
