Gentlemen...FOCUS!!!

It doesn't matter who planted what wolves where, or even when they did it. What matters now is that Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming are up to their bloody eyeballs in the damn things. Bergmann's rule, "native" wolves, transplant conspiracy theories...blah, blah, blah. The real issue is the legal mechanisms that allowed this crap to escalate to this level, and if those mechanisms aren't changed it'll just happen again. The real problem children that need a serious spanking are the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA). The ESA needs to be amended so that species with continental/global distributions that aren't in jeopardy can't be listed...i.e. wolves, wolverines, Canada lynx, grizzly bears, etc. It also needs to be amended so that projected issues that can't truely be quantified (i.e. global warming...whoops climate change) can't be determining factors in listing species. The ESA would only be half as bad if it weren't for the it's red-headed step-brother the EAJA. That's the funding mechanism that drives all the lawsuits, and thankfully there is legislation to amend it (link below). If you really want to make a difference write to your Congressional delegation and tell them how fed up you are with this non-sense and that you want to see these laws changed to reflect a common-sense reality.
