Based on recent reports, Cassia County is under the threat of Gray Wolves and authorities think the species should be removed from Oregon’s endangered list. Even though the presence of the Grey Wolves has become increasingly noticeable, biologists from the Idaho Department of Fish and Game have not been notified yet of the presence of a wolf pack.
- Grey Wolves characteristics
- Dangers that grey wolves pose to the Cassia County
- Solutions that authorities have considered to remove Grey Wolves from Oregon’s vicinity.
The Idaho Department of Fish and Game has recently observed that inhabitants in the Cassia County region are confronting themselves with an increasing number of Grey Wolves. This species, also known as, timber wolf or Western wolf is specific for the wild regions of North America and Eurasia. Its specimens are considered to be some of the largest exemplars with measures ranging from 36 to 45 kg.
Grey Wolves have been regarded as an endangered species because they are incredibly rare and they have very interesting physical features. Unfortunately, many more reports have been registered in Oregon since 2014. Most inhabitants have complained on attacks on livestock and some residents fear they, too, could be attacked, unless authorities take the right measures.
According to Jim Hayden from the Fish and Game, wolves have been frequently observed in the region. Yet, there is no real evidence indicating the presence of a wolf pack. Biologists will not eliminate this probability until they find out whether grey wolf packs really exist in the region or not.
Authorities plan to eliminate grey wolves from the list of endangered species as many residents have reported attacks. Jeff Bailey from the Cassia County confessed that he once met a grey wolf while he was leaving for work. The man was not injured, but he told the press that he was very afraid. He further added that he constantly hears wolves howling near his house.

DID YOU KNOW….. Wisconsin and Michigan have had 2700 Domestic animals KILLED and maimed by wolves since their return to those states…. IF WI and MI were not forced to abandon their wolf management plans developed by science because of continued lawsuits in abuse of the Endangered Species Act by these disgusting groups it is estimated that ONLY 1700 Domestic animals would have been killed and maimed by wolves! Keep in mind that the 2700 is the documented number and not even close to that actual number! These groups are responsible for AT LEAST 1000 of the most heinous deaths that could become of domestic animals.
DID YOU KNOW….. Minnesota was killing OVER 200 wolves every year to keep them out of trouble. Yup, they almost hit 300 the year before the first hunt . They were killing OVER 200 PER YEAR for more than half a decade ALL on the taxpayers DIME all done by trapping. Not quite the animal that lives in harmony with people. KEEP in mind that the population of wolves in MN last couple years was only estimated at 2211 wolves and they were killing close to 300 for getting into trouble….once again that 300 is only the documented number…. many were so disgusted because of re-ccruing issues they shot wolves on site without approval of the DNR! The first year after the hunt they only had to kill 150 for getting into trouble. It is estimated that had the state stuck with the 1600 to 1700 wolves in the states wolf management plan only 50 wolves would have been needed to be killed for habituation and depredation issues.
DID YOU KNOW….In Idaho and Montana the August 5 2010 ruling by activist Judge Molloy created such an uproar that the Governor of MT told his ranchers to start shooting wolves and told any state employee that cooperated with a Federal agent in regard to dead wolves would no longer had a job. These groups knew that they had pushed too far with their abuse of the Endangered Species Act and 9 of the 12 groups that had their name on that law suit tried to back out and get the Molloy to reverse his ruling. It took an act of congress to put an end to the abuse of the Endangered Species Act for those states! You see these groups can continue to pimp wolves without regard to common sense because Judges like Molloy interpret “into the majority of these former range” to mean the majority of states like WI MT or WA should have wolves! It is unrealistic and unattainable without irrevocable harm to wolves and their reputation to have them at levels that wolf pimps want. They do so for controversy…..controversy gets the gullible to press “donate now” buttons and easy pickings for EAJA dollars .
