From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [AR-News] OREGON WOLVES TO BE KILLED! Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2011 14:52:38 -0400 >From Predator Defense in Eugene, Oregon URGENT ALERT: ODFW KILLING ALPHA MALE OF OREGON'S FIRST BREEDING WOLF PACK! Please immediately contact Governor Kitzhaber and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife NOW! Kill orders went out 9/23 on the alpha male and another member of the Imnaha wolf pack. The pack used to number 16, now it is down to 4 and soon to be a mere two: the alpha female and this year's pup. The other wolves were either killed by ODFW or have dispersed from the area. On May 5 wolves lost federal protection under the Endangered Species Act and the state took over wolf 'management'. By mid May, ODFW had killed two wolves of the Imnaha pack. Now they are gunning for two more, including the alpha male. Without the alpha male and the other wolf, the female and pup will perish and the Imnaha pack will be destroyed. Livestock owners are loudly decrying loss of cattle and demanding that wolves be killed every time any predation occurs. They are reimbursed for losses due to wolves. Decision makers need to hear from taxpayers and voters NOW who support wolves!!! If we are not vocal and heard, Oregon wolves will not make it. Is there any contest here? endangered species vs cattle? Especially since cattle losses are reimbursed with your tax dollars!!! Please contact authorities immediately and voice your opinion! 1. Governor John Kitzhaber: [email protected], 503-378-3111 2. Director of ODFW: [email protected], (503) 947-6044 Thank you for your help! Please forward this alert to friends and family immediately.
