Where’s The Beef?
March 14, 2007
Somebody tell me, please! The antis are all in a tizzy in the Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Oregon and Washington areas because the feds plan to delist the gray wolf. They are threatening lawsuits and the like. Michigan and Wisconsin now and perhaps even Minnesota, have officially declared the wolf there delisted. Where’s the uproar there?

Tom, I’m originally from Minnesota. I cuurently reside in Colorado. I still hunt the “big bog” back home with my family every year. I have witnessed wolves in the wild and have hunted whitetail deer next to them. We (people like you and me and the Mn. Dept. of Natural Resoures) would love to manage our own animals. But when they fall under the federal umbrella it’s hard to do. It has been talked about for 15 years up there and it gets old just “talking about it”. We (Minnesotan’s) have grown used to dealing with the wolves on are own.
So you are saying that wolves still remain listed in Minnesota?
[...] this morning I asked why there was no fuss in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan from animal rights groups over delisting [...]
No Tom, wolves should not be listed on the federal endangered list in Minnesota. I can’t speak for Wisc. or Mich. They have surpassed Mn.’s management goal (numbers wise) years ago. There problem now isn’t the forested zone (which was originally the DNR’s goal) as much as it is in the transformation zone ( between the forest zone and the agriculture zone).
The Dept. of Natural Resources and the Mn. Trappers ass. has pretty good plans in place after they delist the wolves. Then we’ll here from the anti’s!
