In some cases, wolf depredation of livestock turned out to be faked by ranchers. Remember that almost all of this is playing out on PUBLIC lands which ranchers have always considered to be their private domain.

The data showed that the common practice of tracking down and killing wolves that prey on livestock did not result in decreased depredation rates regionally, or over the long-term. The study also found that wolf attacks appear to follow seasonal patterns that reflect the food needs of wolf packs and livestock calving and grazing cycles.  </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/04/060405100249.htm"><P>"This study shows that wolves are being killed as a corrective, punitive measure -- not a preventative one," Musiani said.  "People hope that killing individual wolves that attack livestock will rid the population from offenders but this isn't happening. It seems other wolves simply take their place and you have the same problem over and over again," Musiani said. "To use a human analogy -- by putting criminals in jail we are going to obtain a decrease in crime? In many cases, probably not."  </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EBA2D528-5D5E-467C-8A09-6DBF44C07957/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
