Wolves as Real Estate
Agents: Proof Positive
September 1, 2006
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) has forced large
predators into becoming involuntary realtors.
What's wrong with this picture?
It clearly shows/designates every square inch of
America as 'gray wolf habitat' -- the areas left 'white' show as
'endangered' habitat and, by ESA definition, 'all or part of' the
'historic range.'
This is proof positive that the agenda is not
about 'protection' or 'recovery:' it is 'We want it All.'
Most have heard of predatory lending. This is predatory
property rights taking under the guise of the ESA.
As Montana Bob so succinctly puts it, the wolf is
being used as a real estate agent.
The entire text at the original fws.gov website
becomes, therefore, deceptive and suspect: "In April, 2003 the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) changed the listing status
for the gray wolf in the conterminous U.S. In addition to changes in
ESA status, the 2003 Rule included Special Regulations under section
4(d) of the ESA to address control of depredating gray wolves. A January
31, 2005, ruling from the U.S. District
Court in Portland, Oregon, vacated and enjoined the Service's 2003
changes. The Oregon ruling concluded that the 2003
Distinct Population Segment boundaries and reclassification
decisions were "arbitrary and capricious" and violated the
Endangered Species Act. A May
6, 2005 ruling (PDF) by the Judge provided
clarification of the original ruling. The Vermont
District Court ruled similarly. The Oregon
Court's ruling invalidated the April
2003 changes. Therefore, gray wolves in the
conterminous states (except Minnesota where the gray wolf remains
listed as threatened) and Mexico are endangered, except where
they are listed as part of an Experimental Population for
reintroduction purposes. Experimental Population Areas are found
throughout Wyoming and in portions of Montana, Idaho, Arizona, New
Mexico, and Texas." (emphasis in original)
'Thanks' to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and
The Wildlands Project, laboring under the guise of 'native,' huge
wolves from Canada are actual 'invasive species,' here to take control
of rural America. Have rural Americans (and their children, pets and
livestock, as well as wildlife) become guinea pigs of the ESA and
Wildlands Project? You decide.
