UN Agenda 21 ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
Astonishing.
As for the wolves, I am tired about hearing how misrepresented and unfairly vilified as a species.
There was a reason they were hunted to near extinction in some places: humans are prey to them.
What happened to the meme that wolves have gotten an undeserved bad rep?
Isn’t it something when they forget and show their true colors. They couldn’t give a flying fip if a vicious dog breed they have reintroduced to the environment kills livestock or even people. In their leftist calculus that will discourage people from visiting the area and they like that.
We should emphasize to folks....this was State employees...not federal employees who made this decision.
Anyone know whether the woman hates guns?
How far off the road was the victim?
Notice the multitude of overlapping government agencies.
All with paid staff, and their own little fiefdoms.
Every one of them could be paid on call if needed at all.
The County Sherrif can call as needed.
One of the environmentalist myths is that wolves do NOT attack human beings. They wouldn’t admit that the woman was in danger. And if the wolves did get her they probably wouldn’t leave any evidence behind.
WDFW = Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, for those of us who hate undefined acronyms.
Can’t risk the wolves so we won’t save the human life.
Liberal bullies value the animals over the human because they hate humans and relegate animals to helpless innocent little babes to be protected over all else. It is maternal instinct warped to the point of evil.
Someone needs to dox the name and address of the employee
And the hiker should have had a Glock.
Disbatcher should have told government asshole that the woman was a voter. The help would have gone out like a shot.
Infuriating, especially when a woman’s life was threatened.
Also infuriating that wolves are even listed as endangered.
I’m curious about this story. What was a lone woman doing hiking in wolf country, and how did she manage to outrun a wolfpack and climb a tree? Who actually called, and how did that person manage to evade the wolves? All of this happened at a point that was a 2-3 hour hike from a road, but a phone call came in.
Clearly, based on the facts and quotes in this story the Sheriff got it 100% correct and acted as he should have.
The problem with wolves in general have been spun to death in the media and public debate and leave us with many questions -
Did they introduce the same species in these areas or did they introduce a super-predator that may not have been the one in these areas? I have read that the “wolves” in northwest Washington were closer in size to coyotes than those they introduced (these things are BIG).
Did the wolves in this region live on available game or did they mostly follow the buffalo herds around the northwest? In other words, were they native or were they just as nomadic as the prey they lived on that no longer exist?
How much is this program costing the taxpayers? It seems terribly expensive to me. How many government workers are there for each wolf and how often are they employing helicopters to shoot them after livestock incidents? How much are we the taxpayers paying for killed livestock?
If someone found a few T-Rex’s would the same people want to introduce those because they were here once? It seems like an absurd question, but follow the logic used to justify the reintroduction.
What has been the impact on local numbers of elk, moose, and deer. If those numbers have gone down as much as some suggest what is the impact on the local economy?
If there are more incidents such as this in areas frequented by tourists on public lands such as hikers, campers, and backpackers what would the economic impact be to those areas?
Do the people within the regions where there are now wolves support this or is this something being pushed by people who do not live in the rural affected communities. I bet I know the answer to this one....
If it were a Federal employee treed by wolves, they would have sent an A-10 Warthog to strafe the wolves.
Just like Bengazi-Americans are now disposable according to government apparatchiks.
Hmmm
I wonder if the helicopter pilot actually saw the wolf pack? The story says the wolves “scattered” when the helicopter arrived. According to the pilot, or just the woman? This story fails journalistically because it doesn’t give solid confirmation that the central element, wolves, were actually present.
Maybe the woman just wanted a helicopter ride out of the woods.
