Red Wolf Scandal Summary
For those whom have been requesting a summary of this still unfolding scandal.
William Ball
- The USF&W lied to the people or locals as they call them, of NC from the very start of this failed program. They knew, if they had been honest, this would have never had been allowed to go forth. - The USF&W stated that these “red wolves” would NOT stray off the Alligator Wildlife Refuge. They lied. - The USF&W stated that if these “red wolves” did, somehow manage to stray off the Alligator Wildlife Refuge that the USF&W would be there to trap them and return them to the refuge. They lied. - The USF&W stated that these “red wolves” would NOT eat deer and other wild game in eastern North Carolina. They lied. - The original "red wolves" released into the Alligator Wildlife Refuge, where not even close to being a true Red Wolf. They were nothing more than a hybrid wolf/coyote mutt. - The original "red wolves" and even more so, these so-called "red wolves" of today are NOT fully protected on private land under the Endangered Species Act, as these animals are a experimental non-essential reintroduced hybrid species. The red wolf in North Carolina is protected on federal lands under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) as an experimental, non-essential population. This means that relaxed regulations allow landowners to kill a red wolf if it attacks their livestock or pets. Additionally, a red wolf that is taken incidentally to any type of legal activity (e.g., hunting coyotes following state regulations) on private lands in the red wolf recovery area does not constitute a violation of the federal regulation, provided that the taking a red wolf is not intentional. - These so-called “red wolves” have inter-bred with coyotes to such an extent, that they are indistinguishable from a coyote. Even USF&W field biologist admit that they cannot distinguish a red wolf from a coyote. Ms. Cornelia Hutt, Ms. Janet Hoben, and Ms. Kim Wheeler, can you tell the difference between these red wolf/coyote hybrids and coyotes, in the wild??? I seriously doubt it and if you truly can, then you are in the wrong field career. - 26 years and over $28 million later, there are only 4-5 "breeding pairs” versus the original 4 “breeding pairs”. If that isn’t defined as a failure, I don’t know what is. Given, these figures (from Mr. David Rabon, USFWS Red Wolf Coordinator, himself in November 2013), Ms. Cornelia Hutt, Ms. Janet Hoben, and Ms. Kim Wheeler, continue to perpetuate the lie that this program is a huge success. Truth is, it is anything but a success. - This red wolf reintroduction program is a miserable failure that even a blind man can see. So, there must ulterior motives at work here. Could those motives be financial gain, i.e. sue and settle?? Could they be for the procurement of private land for the Federal Gov’t?? Could they for a continued salary and title?? - The red wolf reintroduction program is such a failure that no amount of money and no hunting ban, is going to save it. You cannot save a sinking ship when the bow is under water and the stern is following. Again what are the true motives of those who continue to support this abysmal failure??? - The reintroduction of this bastardized red wolf/coyote hybrid to North Carolina has not benefitted wildlife nor the people of North Carolina in any way. In fact it has had the opposite effect, in that this non-essential experimental hybrid species, has done great harm to the eco system, the wildlife, and the people of eastern North Carolina. I say it is time the people of North Carolina to scream, enough is enough. We should be demanding the RWC to not go away mad, but to just go away. We should demand that the USF&W to stop with the lies, pack up their stuff, reel their folks in, and simply go away. We should demand that the NCWRC and Boyle’s reestablish the legal hunting season, immediately. 1SHOT1KILL out.
