Grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, coyotes, cougars/ mountain lions,bobcats, wolverines, lynx, foxes, fishers and martens are the suite of carnivores that originally inhabited North America after the Pleistocene extinctions. This site invites research, commentary, point/counterpoint on that suite of native animals (predator and prey) that inhabited The Americas circa 1500-at the initial point of European exploration and subsequent colonization. Landscape ecology, journal accounts of explorers and frontiersmen, genetic evaluations of museum animals, peer reviewed 20th and 21st century research on various aspects of our "Wild America" as well as subjective commentary from expert and layman alike. All of the above being revealed and discussed with the underlying goal of one day seeing our Continent rewilded.....Where big enough swaths of open space exist with connective corridors to other large forest, meadow, mountain, valley, prairie, desert and chaparral wildlands.....Thereby enabling all of our historic fauna, including man, to live in a sustainable and healthy environment. - Blogger Rick

PREDATOR DEFENSE sending out the "alert" that the alpha male of the Imnaha, Oregon Wolf pack has been targeted for removal by Oregon Dept of Wildlife............What was a 16 member pack recolonizing Oregon is now down to 4 members..............and in jeopardy of being blown up...............If we were watching a movie of how man kills, kills, kills any other creature that is deemed to stand in his way, we would be disgusted by our actions!................STOP, we must if we are to be the "advanced and caring" species that we are told we are every weekend in our respective houses of worship

URGENT ALERT:  ODFW KILLING ALPHA MALE OF OREGON'S FIRST BREEDING WOLF PACK!

Please immediately contact Governor Kitzhaber and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife NOW!

Kill orders went out 9/23 on the alpha male and another member of the Imnaha wolf pack.   The pack used to number 16, now it is down to 4 and soon to be a mere two:  the alpha female and this year's pup.  The other wolves were either killed by ODFW or have dispersed from the area.  

On May 5  wolves lost federal protection under the Endangered Species Act and the state took over wolf 'management'.  By mid May, ODFW had killed two wolves of the Imnaha pack.  Now they are gunning for two more, including the alpha male.  Without the alpha male and the other wolf, the female and pup will perish and the Imnaha pack will be destroyed.

Livestock owners are loudly decrying loss of cattle and demanding that wolves be killed every time any predation occurs.  They are reimbursed for losses due to wolves.  Decision makers need to hear from taxpayers and voters NOW who support wolves!!!  If we are not vocal and heard, Oregon wolves will not make it.

Is there any contest here?  endangered species vs cattle?   Especially since cattle losses are reimbursed with your tax dollars!!!

Please contact authorities immediately and voice your opinion!

1. Governor John Kitzhaber:    representative.citizen@state.or.us, 503-378-3111

2. Director of ODFW:    roy.elicker@state.or.us, (503) 947-6044

Thank you for your help!  Please forward this alert to friends and family immediately.
