Delist, Defund, Revoke and Revamp, ESA Wolf Programs

these animals should not be walking around freely while damaging and killing the hearts of many people. if they are on property it should be the right of the property owner to make up of what to do to protect themselves and animals.

This should all be managed at the county level. Duly elected county officials should be able to issue kill orders on these dangerous predators. Citizens in rural areas shouldn’t have livelihoods and indeed their lives and the lives of their children threatened by D.C. politicians. Repeal the E.S.A. !

These wolves should never have been reintroduced. Not enough natural wild food sources to sustain these animals. I foresee increasing issues for them as well as for the ranches that they will gravitate to in search of food.

Delist Wolf Program amd get rid of ESA

As a wildlife biologist, no animals should have more rights than a human beings. The endangered species act has been abused as a weapon against private landowners and individuals to remove their holdings and likelihoods. This is a criminal act and abuse of the federal government against it’s citizens. Walls in particular have more rights than human beings and are afforded greater protections. When wolf numbers become high enough, they decimate local Elk herds. When wolf genetics are deluded with domestic dog DNA and are afforded full wolf protection this is a bastardization of wildlife management.

No wolves

Enough of putting extra burden on livestock operators of not just the death of livestock but the stress on livestock causing cattle not to be bred. Also the extra cost on ranchers trying to defend there property.

This needs to be changed these ranchers cant keep losing their livestock!

Wolves need to be managed. Current management habituates wolves to humans providing food. This is a human attack disaster in the making.

Delist now!

Definitely a problem for the Ranchers (it's a 37.5-billion-dollar cattle industry in the State). I am confident a solution to the problem will be found even it means open hunting season for the wolves. It's a man-made problem, yet on the other hand you have other predators who can also kill cattle on the open range. This will be a hard nut to crack. But with good planning things can be worked out that will mutually be beneficial for all.

The Mexican grey wolf program is, in addition to the damage it is doing to ranching, absolutely CRUEL to these wolves. These poor wolves are no longer physiologically wild; they are pen/zoo raised, therefore physically weaker than a naturally born-survival of the fittest wild wolf. The Mexican wolves are human habituated and lacking in the hunting prowess of a wild wolf. Many are simply starving and the idea of cross fostering baby pups for genetic diversity is, I believe, a hoax. Have you ever tried to get a dog to foster a pup that wasn't hers? So, we have poor, lost, weak wolves terrorizing domestic cattle with zero instincts to save themselves and all sorts of suffering for some sentimental notion that the eco-system is richer with wolves howling. The only thing that is richer is the people who are running this tragic experiment. PLEASE, if you care about animals, wolves, cattle, humans STOP this cruel fantasy program of "back to the wild."

While I think that it's important to have animals like these in the ecosystem, I think it is important to acknowledge that the USFWS has take captive animals raised on domesticated livestock parts such as beef scraps in captivity and turned them loose, expecting them to know not to touch cattle, and THEN these same officials refuse to either PAY for the livestock lost OR refuse to relocate the trouble animals.

This is a failed experiment. Shut it down.

I live in NE Az and believe the wolves are multiplying faster than assumed.

I’m not sure why Liberals LOVE wolves so much?? Most never get out on the landscape and see the unchecked destruction Wolves cause to Wildlife and Livestock. I don’t hate wolves. Agree they are part of the Ecosystem, but the protection they receive with no Management Plan whatsoever is insane and not science based

Wolves are often viewed as a major threat to traditional hunting practices because they compete directly with human hunters for the same game species. These predators can significantly reduce populations of animals such as deer, elk, and moose, which are the primary targets for many hunting enthusiasts. When wolves prey on these animals, there are fewer game available, which not only limits the opportunities for hunters but can also drive up prices for licenses and impact local economies that depend on hunting tourism. Additionally, the presence of wolves may force game to adopt more elusive behaviors, making them harder to track and hunt. Moreover, wolves can disrupt the balance of local ecosystems in ways that are unfavorable to hunters. As top predators, they not only reduce the numbers of key game species but also alter the natural behavior and distribution of these animals. In areas with a high wolf population, game may become more cautious and shift their feeding and breeding patterns to avoid predation. This behavioral change can lead to a decline in the overall quality of the hunting experience, as fewer animals are seen in traditional hunting grounds. For those who rely on hunting as a cultural tradition or a source of income, the impact of wolves on game populations and behavior represents a significant challenge.

Mexican grey wolves need to be managed like everything else. Some biologists/ gov. Agencies need to be realistic and wolves need not to be a political tool.

Yes, they need to be de listed immediately.! For public safety and the economic stability of our country. The USFWS and the FS are way out of their rightful place.

All wolf species must be delisted!
