More Numbers

I know that numbers don't change most people's minds. But one purpose of this blog is to keep the information I find and develop.

When the wolf experimental re-introduction was agreed to it was also agreed that the goals would be met with about 100 wolves: ten packs of ten. Some suggest that might be for each of three different areas, so maybe 300 max. The following is actual MINIMUM wolf counts by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It is on their front page:

 

As you can see the actual numbers outstripped the agreed to numbers by over 500%. This is because the USFWS was supposed to manage the number under court order. They seem incapable of doing so.
