Bill McIirvine's herd grazes on public land, that he leases, in Eastern Washington . A reintroduced wolf pack, begin targeting the herds of Mc'Irvine and other local ranchers who were instructed on measures to take to avoid the packs dependence on cattle. Unlike the other Ranchers McIrvine refused to take reasonable measures to protect the pack and his cattle . Due to his negligence the entire pack will be destroyed as they have become cattle dependent. McIrvine believes that that this is a radical government move that he doesn't have to comply with. The group charged with wolf reintroduction Conservation Northwest , holds McIrvine solely responsible for the cull of the pack. We would like to see Mc'Irvine lose his lease of public land. We assert he is abusing the environment and has no intention of coming in line with any current or future environmental initiatives to save the grey Wolf or otherwise. We also request he be fined by fish game and wildlife for 8 counts of killing an endangered animal .

The momentum we have built makes it clear that people are done watching McIrvine destroy our wildlife for his own convenience. He thinks he can ignore the rules and trample our public land without consequence but he is finally running out of places to hide.

McIrvine's cattle should be removed from BLM lands since he deliberately brought his herd into wolf territory . Wolves are endangered but there are millions and millions of cattle in the USA.

He has NO right to have his livestock on public land. Our Wedge Pack suffered and were murdered because of him. They help provide balance. People need to learn to live with them and killing 80% of your population is just stupid.Disgusting. Seriously, it's the wolves who have the right of way, not the people. They're just doing what they can to survive, it's not their fault livestock look like easy pickings.

He needs to pay the fines. He let his cows become targets on purpose so he could complain about it later. Total disgrace.

This guy is reckless and clearly doesnt care about the rules. Why should he get to keep using public land after causing the death of an entire pack? Take the lease away now.

Public land is for everyone not just for greedy ranchers who refuse to adapt. He had the tools to prevent this but he just let it happen anyway. Unacceptable.

THESE WOLVES HAD NOWHERE ELSE TO GO. McIrvine chose to ignore every warning and now innocent animals are dead because of his ego. Get his cows off the mountain.
