Happy 4th Of July Free Wallpaper Wolves are Back on Endangered List

July 21st, 2008 David King - King's Outdoor World

Reports have just come out that Wildlife Officials have captured two wolves in western Okanogan County and fitted both with radio collars to track their movements and learn more about them. They took hair samples for DNA testing to confirm that the wolves were not hybrid animals.

One of the wolves was a lactating female nursing pups. This would confirm that this is the first pair of breeding wolves int the state of Washington. The DNA test results will be back in a few weeks.

Yes, the state of Washington is currently in the process of introducing wolves and granting a Protection Status—-We have a 3,000 acre cattle ranch in the central part of the state—-we already have to put up with coyotes, cougars, bears, and rattlesnakes killing, injuring, and eating our animals—–we do not need to add the government with their wolves—-to add to our survival problems.

Put the wolves into Discovery Park in Seattle (along with the cougar they had during the summer) and see how the West Siders like the threat!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are tired of being a playground for the city dwellers. Life is difficult enough for the farmers—-please do not try to make it even worse.
