Gray Wolves No Longer Need Federal Protection, Obama Administration Says

47. O.is a greenhorn & easy to snooker..it's chronic wasting disease (gamefarms) and clim. change

Years of our gov. lack of science/expert use to make wildlife and land decisions.

Game farms breed a lot of those trophy elk and deer, it's an industry where they feed processed feeds a lot and animals get out, escape (or 'culls' are probably even dumped out). chronic wasting disease is a prion disease like madcow and those processed feeds are made from render(dead animals). prions have been shown to survive the render process.

climate change aswell has changed many of the former grazing areas. there is just not enough open land, correct foods to support great herds. a lot of the deer/elk are not native species and hunters do not take the weak, skinny and sick like wolves do.

Our BLM and Hunters also fly helicopters around the public lands in the dead of winter for their studies/hunting and wild horse round-ups. In many records you can see herds of deer, elk run in the winter..wildlife should not run like that in the winter. That runs off their winter reserves.

"CWD can reduce the growth and size of wild deer and elk populations in areas where the prevalence is high, and is of increasing concern for wildlife managers across North America. The disease was long thought to be limited in the wild to a relatively small endemic area in northeastern Colorado, southeastern Wyoming and southwestern Nebraska, but has recently been found in several new areas across the North American continent. The disease also has been diagnosed in commercial game farms in several states and provinces.""
