    • This is a serious waste of public funds and exists, mostly for thrill-killers who can't find a job otherwise, all to please a few politicians and folks who want the prize without effort! They are truly a "hit squad" for lazy ranchers and lazy welfare-ranchers who don't want to do their damned jobs - as in tend their livestock like they claim to in romanticized accounts of "The Western Lifestyle" - a myth at best. They are killing off a keystone species that is necessary for a balanced ecosystem and only months after they were illegally removed from the endangered species list by fiat of CR budget riders last year..

      The first species to be removed from the ESA listing in order to kill them en masse for political gain. The science has been swept under the carpet in order to fuel the mythology of the big bad wolf for those who choose ignorance over rationale. This also fuels the blood lust for these brainless fools.

      The hunting crowd is upset that they actually have to get out of their pick-'em-up trucks and ATVs to hunt. If they had any skills-like those used in the thought process, they would have nothing to whine about. Elk, after wolves were reintroduced to the northern Rockies, are behaving like they should, like wildlife instead of cattle on the range staying in one place so they can be shot from the truck on the side of the road... which still happens to a great degree in this part of the country.

      Wolf-hatred is rampant in the west and EVERYONE should be aware of the millions of federal taxpayer $$s that are spent on this secret faction of the USDA.

      These are also the idiots who want to start using drones to patrol the wilderness!! This agency needs complete review, intense regulation... at this point they have next to none. The agency needs to be shut down, redesigned and prohibited from this kind of function.

      Read "Wolfer, a Memior" by Carter Niemeyer for a true depiction of the agency's "inside agenda" and how they function....
