The extremist BOG refused to even debate or hear about the buffer issue for 6 years...Meanwhile- the ethical hunters have been targeting pregnant wolves when they leave the park boundary.  We know these "sportsmen" hate to be told NO.  They are trying to punish the NPS because they are trying to clean up unscientific and unethical predator hunting practices on refuge and preserve lands... This FED- State conflict only escalated after the Kenai grizzly and Lost Creek pack situations....The Lost Creek pack was involved in a 20 year predator prey study by the NPS- the State didn't even have the decency to tell the Service that they were planning to execute the entire pack including the collared alphas...
Why do Wolves and other animals have to be caught in the crossfire of humans?
