Wolves in California, yay, now if only some golden bears would show up and Trump’s goons would leave them alone to prosper.
This president’s lack of appreciation for the environment, for endangered species, and his inability to appoint qualified personnel to be caretakers of our country is disgusting. Like most all people elected to “serve”, constituents are forgotten in the interest of money, mostly. Voters who stick with him and his appointees will be sorry, they just don’t know it yet.
Great news! 🙂
Yay! Hopefully protections don’t get stripped and the wolves live long enough to grow and disperse farther.
Yes, I do hope that these wolves are watched carefully and protected, because I do not trust that someone or someones won’t try to deliberately harm them. This is why I have mixed feelings about these types of announcements.
You notice that the article says that the Shasta pack ‘mysteriously disappeared’.
“The breeding male of the Lassen pack is the son of famous Oregon wolf OR-7, who came to California in 2011, the first confirmed wild wolf in the state in 87 years. OR-7 spent 15 consecutive months in the Golden State before returning to southwestern Oregon where he eventually found a mate, and has sired pups each year since 2014.”
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this paragraph. OR-7, Journey. The little non-pessimistic side of me gets giddy reading about his offspring and their survival. That is fitness! The larger pessimistic side of me becomes sullen, sad, and angry knowing this continent was once intensely populated with wolves.
