You believe everything every federal ministry of information agency says don't you??
That link certainly doesn't give much information btw.
The simplist and most efficient way to handle this is to allow each state to manage it's own wildlife.
Here is a great article by a retired Fish and Wildlife man:
3 Scams - The Truth Is Not In Them
Another one;
The Two Faces of Government
A list of articles by Jim Beers, he should be the most read outdoor writer in America but lame stream media treats him like the plague.
He has testified before congress three times but politicians are more interested in listening to bull crap from people who can make large donations to their campaign funds that listening to common sense or to the American people who have to deal with moronic federal policies.
How can they be so sure that a decline in elk is due to the wolves?
One of the major iniatives of this is to drive ranchers off all federal lands, thereby
increasing food costs to you.
BTW, these radical animal rights conflict industry people tried to say that elk were suffering from mad cow desease to discourage hunting and/or pass anti-hunting bills but were disproven once again when real life studies showed that elk that had been transplanted from one area to another were feeding on a kind of lichen they weren't acclimated to and that was what was causing some elk to have mad cow like symptons.
But that is the modus operandi of these well funded special interest NGOs, make wild claims, get federal government backing and saddle states and usually individuals with ridiculous policies that are all but impossible to change. It's like being raped and then have to pay the rapist for his trouble.
Wolf predation on livestock is also a problem.
Unless something is done to Control the wolf population they will continue to increase at an alarming rate. It will be hard for the Montana rancher to stay in business because of the predation by the wolves. Due to this predation wildlife have also changed their habits to try and survive. Instead of being in their natural habitat elk, deer and other herbivores are congregating in large numbers for protection. Thus impacting private property of ranchers or land owners. At this rate the wolf harvest of wildlife will result in the near total elimination of the animals we have all learned to admire and hunt.
The wolf population is far beyond what was asked for but still they are keeping it on the endangered list, go figure.
per a 4/2009 article (can't link from my phone) from the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, nationwide the Elk herd is up 44% since 1984, with significant growth in herds that are plagued by the Jihadist Wolves over the same time period.

The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation,
The Elk Foundation continues to voice its longstanding support for delisting wolves under the Endangered Species Act, enabling state-based management. In December, RMEF joined with 18 other groups urging the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to delist wolves in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming.
The only thing jihadist in this equation are the animal rights groups that are anti-gun, anti-hunting, anti-meat eating, anti-business, anti-farming, anti-ranching, pro-global warming bs and so forth such as HSUS, Farm Sanctuary, Peta, World Wildlife Fund, Defenders of Wildlife, Center for Food Safety and
a miriad more morons who can't seem to be able to leave other folks alone in their quest to create their fantasy bambi world.
thank goodness, i was worried about the wolves being extinct
That's easily understood because the media constantly bombards us with what is said by radical 'nature fakers' and doesn't give us real information.
Here is a good example of abuse of the 'endangered species act.' (they use the same propaganda to promote idiotic 'climate change' policies such as the ehtanol mandate that is moronic on every level.)
A friend of mine's mother retired recently and had a building lot in Florida that she intended to either retire to or sell and retire somewhere else.
Her property was a bit inland with access to a canal that connected to the ocean and had greatly increased in value because after recent hurricanes many people wanted to move inland. There was a house on each side of her building lot.
When she went to visit the place on retireing she found an EPA sign that read; "Protected Florida Scrub Jay Habitat."
The bottome line was that she was prohibited from building on her own lot and must continue to pay property taxes or eventually cede it to the state of Florida because of unpaid back taxes. Her only alternative is to sell the property but the buyer must sign and agreement to keep it forever a Scrub Jay habitat. Who's going to buy that???
I assure you the Florida Scrub Jay is not endangered but it is on the federal list and to get it off you just about need an act of congress.
What we have is unconstitutional confiscation of property without compensation remisiscent ot 19th century land grabs by the British governemnt and throwing people off their own land.
There are thousands and thousands of just such cases all accross America.
I just talked with my next door neighbor who sold his farm mostly because of idiotic intervention by the EPA who is all over the little guy like stink on a skunk but if you want the EPA to do something about illegal practices by a large chemical company, you had might as well be petitioning the abominable snowman!!!
