01/20/10 What nonsense!
Anyone who read the double speak (Trib-Outdoor 1/14) about the species of tapeworm newly introduced into the Northwest in the guts of transplanted (NOT “reintroduced”) Canadian wolves needs to check out the Outdoorsman article at idahoforwildlife.com to really appreciate the plague that’s been unleashed on a multi-state ecosystem. Unlike the mindless blather published by the Trib, the Outdoorsman documents that this life-changing nightmare can dramatically impact human lives with the need for expensive drugs, surgeries, autopsies, and funerals. Contrary to the nonchalant attitude of Fish and Game spokesmen quoted by the Trib, this medical issue is worse than a prom night pimple.
Records prove that the perpetrators knew in advance that transplantation of infected Canadian wolves would unquestionably include co-introduction of unwanted hitchhikers. Ed Bangs, the so called biologist in charge of introduction, not only had first-hand knowledge of the problem, but was furnished documentation of parasite infestations common to wolves by several experts with several decades of wolf-specific research. He chose to ignore them.
Since it would be unthinkable to introduce an alien species into any ecosystem without extensive peer review it’s simply impossible to believe there’s anything accidental about this wolf fiasco with it’s astronomical past, present, and future economic impact on the entire Pacific Northwest. Neither should there be anything accidental about state-initiated class-action lawsuits against Mr. Bangs and the US Fish and Wildlife Service demanding eradication of Canadian wolves, plus hundreds of millions in compensation.
PS Support Rammell for governor – the only candidate pledged to remove wolves.
