http://azgfd.net/artman/publish/NewsMedia/Mexican-Wolf-Livestock-Coexistence-Council-Unveils-Innovative-Strategic-Plan.shtml I just read this on the AZGFD website and am blown away (although I shouldn't be surprised any more) to see that they are now paying off the ranchers to deal with the problem wolves. I have nothing against the cattle ranchers who are trying to get compensated for their losses incurred by the wolves. My issue is with the USFWS ridiculous spending. Instead of spending money to compensate the ranchers, why don't they stop financing wolf restoration. Now that leaves plenty of money to help our deer herds and other animals that we all enjoy and that some rely on for food for their families. I see the big picture and this is just a way for USFWS to get the ranchers (some of them maybe) to be quiet and go along with the wolf spending while the tree hugging activists work on the bigger scheme of taking over our forests and further limiting or stopping hunting altogether in "wolf areas". This is getting more frustrating the longer it continues. I just wanted to make a few more people aware of where our dollars are being spent. I'd be interested to hear if some fellow CWT members have some input from either side to further educate all of us.
