Friction Over Wolf Reintroduction Spills Into Colorado ( and NM )
Colorado Observer ^ | November 21, 2013 | Valerie Richardson

Wildlife lovers clamoring to bring gray wolves to Colorado may want to pay attention to those wooden outhouse-style structures in rural Catron County, New Mexico. They’re called “kid cages,” and they’re built to protect children waiting at school bus stops–from wolves.

“The wolf issue is an example, especially with the kid cages, about how you’re putting the interest of wildlife over the interests of human beings,” said filmmaker David Spady. “Every American should be concerned about seeing kids in cages and wolves out wandering around freely.”

Spady’s remarks came during a Tuesday screening of his film, “Wolves in Government Clothing,” a documentary on the impact of the 1998 wolf reintroduction on those living in the rural West.

The film focuses on rural communities struggling to cope with the economic and safety issues that accompanied the wolves, including livestock depredations, reduced elk and moose herds, and fewer hunting opportunities, not to mention chilling close encounters with wolf packs.

...

The Fish and Wildlife Service is expected to rule on the wolf proposals sometime after public hearings conclude Dec. 3.

They’re just like big lovable dogs. I’m sure I’d be happy to let the grandkids go out and play amongst them. NOT! Uninteded consequences? Maybe not. When vast areas are declared “human-free zones”, “wildlife corridors”, “earth islands” and “bio-sphere habitats”, things will be just fine cause the wolves will already be firmly in place.

I don’t have a great deal of sympathy for Catron County welfare ranches.

” - - - filmmaker David Spady - - - “

Uh, Davie-boy, when was the last time that a non-rabid wolf attacked a human, or even a “film-maker” in the lower 48?

Chances are, it would also be the first - - - .

The best way to deal with government wolves remains:

SSS

Shoot, shovel and shut up.

By the way, here's a clue: A wooden outhouse side structure is going to provide a young child minimal protection from wolves.

“google wolf cages for kids and you will see a link of “google images” with some photos.”

And all those images are of winter snow shelters that have been at bus stops for years, which are being re-labeled as “kid cages” now as a political ploy by anti-wolf people.

Every one of the 100-plus enviro-nazis were staunchly opposed to removing the federal protections and more than a few wound up in tears.

Kinda pulls at the old heart strings, doesn't it? /sarc

They’re designed so children can step up in them and sit down and wait for the bus,” Catron County Sheriff Shawn Menges

““You guys, you, we entrusted you to take care of our beloved wildlife, lands and waters, to take care of this land, and you need to be the watchdog so the states don’t open it up to an open slaughter for these wolves,” said Betty Neuenschwander.”

Waaa Waaa, idiots. Whack them all and make a hat out of them!

The wolves probably wouldn’t last long on the 16th street mall on gang nights.
