the Red Wolves in Eastern North Carolina
are the only wild population of this
species that exists the North Carolina
Wildlife Resources Commission has never
been a big fan of the Red Wolf program
unfortunately they have recently adopted
a resolution actually requesting that
the US Fish and Wildlife Service declare
the Red Wolf to be extinct in the wild
and removed the Red Wolves from lands in
North Carolina
I do want to mention the resolutions and
the allegations that the Commission is
somehow undermining our our
collaboration and our spirit of that
vibration can they maintain this wolf
program on federal land as required in
their rules can they also develop in
maintaining stable and self-sustaining
population of wolves which is also a
stated goal and this information through
this comprehensive program evaluation it
is very clear that the management on
federal lands is an unequivocal and
equivocal no it’s also very clear that
the self-sustaining part with the
population size that it is cannot be
obtained on behalf of the Red Wolf there
are less than a hundred of the Red
Wolves alive today in the wild anywhere
in the world and in captivity there are
less than 200 I believe we owe it to
this animal to keep it from the brink of
extinction the cows all the wolves have
no natural predators in North Carolina
and they’re smart crafty animals
anybody’s ever tried to hunt them they
have the advantage to start with and you
put these restrictions on the hunting
they go run rampant this is a kind of an
unprecedented action and in terms of a
state trying to assume the authority
over the fate of an endangered species
and the US Fish and Wildlife Service has
to decide now whether their mission is
to appease a state Fish and Game agency
or to provide for the recovery of a
critically endangered species that has
been entrusted to them under the federal
Endangered Species Act
