As Ive been getting more into the hobby of bird watching and enjoying nature as a whole, Ive learned of the deer population conundrum & its impact on our feathered friends. Well get this, remember learning in elementary school about food chains and how if one species gets eliminated the whole thing gets skewed? Well wa-la, say hello to the Red Wolf. Im not saying the Red Wolf will fix the problem, but I am saying it certainly cant hurt to have them around. A typical red wolfs diet is about 50% deer (fieldtripearth.org) Sadly, they currently inhabit just several counties in Eastern NC and are on the brink of being removed from the wild due to political pressure from a Greenville developer. Are red wolves a threat to humans? -There have been no documented cases of healthy wild red wolves attacking humans in North America , despite 500 years of historical coexistence. (fws.gov /redwolf/faq.html) -A person in wolf country has a greater chance of being killed by a dog, lightning, a bee sting or a car collision with a deer than being injured by a wolf. (wolf.org) ONLY 8 DAYS LEFT FOR YOUR INPUT Interested individuals may submit comments, concerns, or information regarding the Eastern North Carolina non-essential, experimental red wolf population and the program evaluation to the following e-mail: [email protected]. WMI also is conducting a brief voluntary online survey that does not request any personal identifiable information. Interested individuals may submit input to either, or both. To access the survey visit the following link: jgassett.polldaddy/s/red-wolf-restoration-recovery-program. Any comments should be submitted no later than September 12, 2014. This will allow WMI time to review the comments and ensure relevant information can be considered during the review. Comments received after that date will not be considered in the program evaluation. 27 years. 3 decades should not go down the tubes. I hope one day they are introduced to my county and beyond. The big bad wolf isnt so bad. And I had to throw this in this post, a little spin on Midnight Oil lyrics. The time has come, to say fairs fair. We killed them off, now lets repair. The time has come. A facts a fact. It belongs to them, lets bring em back. fws.gov/news/ShowNews.cfm?ID=21F9771B-D79B-0B5A-47D45DAAFEB3AC6C Sorry for such a long post.
