H.R.1985 – Pacific Northwest Gray Wolf Management Act of 2015

Oppose this bill because it gives each covered state (Washington, Oregon & Utah) exclusive authority to manage wolves. This bill is not science based, rather it relies on irrational fear and hatred for the wolf.

How Wolves Help Safeguard Ecosystems And What We Can Do to Protect Themtinyurl.com/2m3m9rvfWolves are more than just predators. They are a vital species whose presence or absence profoundly impacts the health and structure of their ecosystems.Their predatory behaviors initiate several ecological effects, also known as trophic cascades, which maintain the balance and biodiversity of the surrounding habitats. By preying on large herbivores such as elk and deer, they help regulate the populations, which prevents overgrazing and in turn allows plant communities to thrive.Wolves indirectly boost the numbers of smaller mammals and ground-nesting birds by controlling mesopredator populations such as coyotes. Wolf predation also provides carrion that benefits scavengers such as ravens, eagles, and bears, which enriches the nutrient cycle and supports a more diverse community of organisms throughout the ecosystem.When it comes to ensuring long-term wolf conservation, there must be collaborative efforts between communities and conservationists. Many conservation groups collaborate with ranchers and farmers to implement non-lethal predator deterrents, such as livestock guardian dogs, electric fencing, and range riders. These efforts can reduce human-wolf conflicts, which fosters a sustainable approach rather than lethal control methods. ... See MoreSee Less

The shift to fear and misunderstanding came about as people became more sedentary and shifted from hunters and gatherers. As our world became more industrialized and technologically advanced, we also became less in tune with nature, forgetting its importance to our health. This is why the Endangered Wolf Center’s efforts to bring the community closer to nature creates environmental stewardship for generations to come. This will not only help the wolves and wildlife but will benefit humans as well by creating a healthier environment.”— Regina Mossotti, FWS Mexican Wolf Pup Foster AdvisorPhoto : Nashoba;.
