Young Family Held Hostage by Mexican Grey Wolf 

Crystal Diamond, who lives on the family ranch near Beaverhead, spent 24 hours indoors with her two daughters, ages two and three, with a collared Mexican Grey Wolf on her front porch and in her yard, before the wolf was controlled by Wildlife Serivces personnel.  (Crystal has written a detailed timeline of events, see below.)

"There is no excuse for putting a young woman and her two small children in such a dangerous situation," said Rex Wilson, New Mexico Cattle Growers Association (NMCGA) President, Carrizozo.  "Our citizens should be able to rely on their government for protection, not be held captive in their homes by a government sponsored predator.  As a father and taxpayer, I am outraged."

According to Diamond, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services (FWS) personnel were aware that the wolf was in the area, but made the decision not to stay and monitor the situation, Wilson said.  "These people knew the wolf was there, knew that its presence placed families, livestock and pets that could be in danger, yet chose to go home.  Crystal was fortunate that a neighbor came by and helped her with this situation, which easily could have turned into a tragedy."

The NMCGA has long opposed the wolf reintroduction program for many reasons, not the least of which is the burden placed on residents of southwestern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona.  The New Mexico Game Commission has withdrawn New Mexico's participation in any facet of the program.  Arizona's Game Commission opposes any new wolf releases until proper recovery planning and environmental impact statements are complete.  The rumor is that the White Mountain Apache Tribe has withdrawn their participation, as well.

"The economy of southwestern New Mexico has been decimated, ranching, hunting and outfitting businesses are struggling to survive, people can no longer feel safe in their own homes, and for what?," Wilson asked.  "There is still not a viable population of the Mexican Grey Wolf, and timetable for establishing one.  We need to put an end to this huge waste of time, money and effort now."

Collared Wolf at Beaverhead

Crystal Diamond's Encounter

 

Tuesday December 13, 2011

I returned home to Beaverhead after being gone for several days with my 2 young daughters, Cayden (age 3) and Reece (age 2). My husband was away from home and scheduled to return Thursday. On the drive back I had passed my father-in-law who informed me that a wolf had been sighted at our Beaverhead Headquarters earlier that morning in the horse corrals & harassing our peacocks. The wolf had been chased away.

 

Arriving at Beaverhead, I drove up to the main headquarters to speak with U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) representatives already there. They stated that they were aware of the wolf sighting and would return in the morning. I drove directly to my home, reversing my truck up to the front porch. I unloaded both of my children from their car seats and placed them on the front porch which runs the entire length of my house. I began unloading groceries and luggage from the bed of my truck walking in and out of the house with the front door wide open. The dogs played rambunctiously around my vehicle and around the yard. I gave little attention to the commotion of the dogs and continued to unload my truck. My daughters were still outside when I walked back out my open front door to see my neighbor speeding up my driveway hollering out his window. He yelled for me to take the girls inside while pointing to the dogs who were roughhousing with a collared wolf no farther than 35 feet from my 2 year old daughter. I grabbed my girls and ran inside slamming the door behind us. My neighbor asked for a rifle to haze the wolf and took off running in its direction. Within minutes I heard a gunshot. I waited about 15 minutes before locking the children in the house and walking up over the hillside to locate my neighbor. I was yelling for him as loud as I could. Topping out over the hill approximately 100 yards from the house - I saw the wolf stopped and staring about 50 yards in front of me. Screaming, I ran as fast as I could back to the house. Apparently, as my neighbor ran up over the hill to haze the wolf she had circled back around, beating him back to the house. It was soon completely dark & we were unable to see any further than the glow of my porch lights. My neighbor instructed me to remain inside the house with my children and dogs and not to open the door at anytime during the night.       

 

My overhead porch light, two motion lights, and a brightly lit holiday porch decoration were left on. Most of the inside lights were on, including our Christmas tree in the front window. Music played as the girls ran around the house up until bath time at 6:30 p.m. I had just placed them in the tub and walked directly to the recliner in the living room just feet from the front window. I was on the telephone when I looked over my shoulder to see the wolf staring back at me . . . her nose pressed against the window pane. I jumped up and stepped away from the window. She remained at the window watching me for just the few seconds before I ran out of the living room into the bathroom where my children were. I called my husband on his cell phone who at this time was on his way home. Throughout the evening my male border collie whimpered at the front door aggressively trying to get out. Both dogs paced the house on high alert all night. At my husband's request, my neighbor returned to my house. He sat on my front porch with nothing but a blanket, camera, & gun in freezing temperatures until midnight when my husband returned home. At that time, they noted all the tracks on and around the front porch and attempted to preserve several tracks by placing bowls and cans over the prints. Preserving all the tracks would be impossible, as fresh snowfall began to cover the ground.

 

Wednesday December 14, 2011

Our neighbor returned to our house around 7:30am. Together with my husband, they went to take photographs of the wolf tracks they'd tried to preserve the night before. New wolf tracks in fresh snow were everywhere - all around the children's play yard in the back of the house, leading up to and on the front porch, in the front yard, and in the driveway. Based of the location of tracks, they determined the wolf spent most of the night within 50 yards of the house.

 

USFWS, Catron County wolf investigator, and Catron County Commissioner all arrived around 8:00am. Using tracking devises, the wolf was determined to be with a quarter mile of the house. I was assured that the wolf would be removed.

 

Pressure from heavier-than-normal vehicle traffic and people on the ground, had pushed her as far as two miles from our house throughout the day.

 

Later that evening, the wolf was returning to our home and was put down by Wildlife Services. She was euthanized on private property 150 yards from my house. I was notified by Wildlife Service Officers that the wolf had been removed and would no longer pose a threat to me or my children. Words cannot express my overwhelming sense relief when I received the news.

 

My daughters and I had literally been held prisoner in our own home for over 24 hours. It's difficult to describe the terror of a predator so fearless and eager to get in my home. My responsibility as a mother is to keep my children safe at all times. For a period of time, that God- Given Right was stripped away. The thought of "what might have been" consumes my every thought.

 

Thank you to USFWS for resolving this issue in a quick and effective manner. Thanks for the swift action of Wildlife Services and the professionalism of their officers. And most of all, thank you to a neighbor who placed the safety of my children above his own. Without his watchful eye, the events of my story may have very easily had an unforgivably tragic ending.

Pearl Harbor

 Seventy years ago today, the Japanese surprised the United States by bombing Pearl Harbor, Hawaii! On that day 2459 Americans were killed! Today we must thank our veterans for the peace and freedom that we enjoy! I pray that we will always have a strong and modern military and that we always be ready to defend ourselves from foreign invasion!

 Thought for the Day 

"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income. You cannot establish security on borrowed money. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they will not do for themselves." (Abraham Lincoln)

Subject: Cannon Air Force Base Low Altitude Terrain Navigation Proposal

  Dear Community Leaders,

     As you may be or may not be aware, Cannon AFB in Clovis, New Mexico is proposing a "Low Altitude Terrain Navigation" training area that reaches across New Mexico and Colorado.  In Colorado this training area stretches from Conejos County in the southeast to Montezuma County in the southwest and Mesa County in the northwest to Park County in the northeast.  The purpose of this training area is to allow C-130 cargo aircraft and CV-22 transport aircraft to fly 200 feet above the ground over this area (primarily at night). 

     The full impact of this proposal should be gauged by the constituents who are impacted and their elected representatives.  The public comment period for this proposal is ongoing and a final decision will be made this December.  The electronic version of the proposal can be found here: http://www.cannon.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-110909-039.pdf

 

A map of the proposed training area can be found here: http://www.cannon.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-110908-041.pdf

 

**The list of public meetings is attached.**

 

Comments regarding this proposal can be e-mailed to:  27SOWpublicaffairs@cannon.af.mil

 

Letters can be mailed to:

  Please encourage your constituents to participate in this process.

Do not be wise in your own estimation. Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right
in the sight of all men. If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men."
Romans 12: 16-18.

HSUS: Dreadful Charity Practices

Three times a year, the venerable American Institute of Philanthropy (AIP) analyzes publicly reported information from charities and issues a report card grading how well these organizations spend their money. Unlike other charity analysts, AIP digs past the face-value data to get a more accurate measure of how effective a charity is.

In its latest report, AIP gives the deceptively named Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) a "D" grade, yet again. Last year, AIP gave HSUS a "D" grade, twice, due to the animal rights group's lackluster performance in using donors' contributions. Even the organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has a "C-plus" grade.

AIP finds that HSUS spends up to 49 cents to raise every dollar and spends as little as 49 percent of its budget on programs.

This is similar to the findings of Animal People News' Watchdog Report, which analyzed HSUS' 2008 tax return and found that up to half of HSUS' budget is spent on overhead costs.

It's worse when you consider that HSUS' grossly inefficient spending is likely done with a lot of money that donors intended to go to real humane societies, such as their local pet shelter, and not an animal rights group.

According to national polling, 71 percent of Americans mistake HSUS for a pet-shelter umbrella group, and 63 percent wrongly believe that HSUS is affiliated with their local humane society or pet shelter. In reality, HSUS shockingly shares less than one percent of its budget with these needy local shelters.

ASI Recommends Changes to FSIS Lamb Nutrition Facts

In July 2011, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) published a nutritional fact sheet for lamb and other meats. The American Sheep Industry Association (ASI) and the American Lamb Board reviewed the lamb fact sheet and, in a letter to FSIS this week, recommended several corrections.

These recommendations included the misidentification of a cut and modifications to cut trimming standards, specific calorie and protein content and specific cooking methods.


Motion to Bar Wolf Hunts Denied

A federal appeals court on Thursday denied a request by animal activist groups to halt wolf hunts that are scheduled to begin next week in Idaho and Montana.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the request by the groups that were seeking to cancel the hunts while the court considers a challenge to congressional action in April that removed wolves from federal protection in Montana and Idaho and in parts of Washington, Oregon and Utah.

Wolf hunts are scheduled to begin Aug. 30 in Idaho and Sept. 3 in Montana.

Eastern Wolf's Territory Labeled as Gray Wolf's

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reopened the public comment period on its May 5 proposal to remove the gray wolf population in the Western Great Lakes from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife because the wolf there actually is a different species. Removing all or parts of 29 eastern states from the gray wolf's designation of critical habitat also is being addressed.

The original public comment period closed on July 5, and the agency says it received more than 800 comments on the proposal.

The controversy regarding the gray wolf revolves around the reclassification of what the agency now believes are two distinct species of wolf, the gray wolf (Canis lupus) and the eastern wolf (Canis lycaon). The eastern wolf has historically been classified as a subspecies of gray wolf.

Species are listed under the Endangered Species Act at the species level, so once the agency had determined that the eastern wolf was in fact its own species, a reevaluation of protections afforded the gray wolf was instigated by several state fish and game departments and conservation groups.

Currently, the gray wolf is listed as endangered throughout the eastern United States, even though that area is the historical range of the newly recognized species the eastern wolf.

Thus, the agency proposed to delist the gray wolf in areas now believed to be the range of the eastern wolf and to initiate a status review of the eastern wolf throughout its range.

The extended comment period will close Sept. 26. To review the Federal Register posting, go to www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-08-26/html/2011-21839.htm.


Forum to Focus on Antibiotic Use in Food Animal Production

The use of antibiotics in the production of food animals elicits polarizing opinions across the media today as consumers become more aware and interested in the way their food is produced. While livestock producers have realized that significant animal illness can be avoided by the use of antibiotics, consumers are being told that any use of antibiotics leads to a lower effectiveness of antibiotics in humans.

Although there have been several debates and discussions on this issue, the National Institute for Animal Agriculture (NIAA) is planning a national forum in which experts in animal agriculture, researchers in the area of livestock health and experts in human health will come together to have a dialogue about the use of antibiotics in the sustainable production of food.

Participants in the forum will have the opportunity to hear from the research leaders and experts and join in the dialogue.

The forum, entitled "Antibiotic Use in Food Animals: A Dialogue for a Common Purpose," is scheduled to be held at the Hotel InterContinental O'Hare in Chicago, Ill., on Oct. 26-27. Registration is open to anyone interested in this issue. The registration fee is $295 with discounts for early registration and for NIAA members.

Quiet Start to First Internet Wool Auction

One of Australia's oldest industries has finally embraced the internet age with the first-ever online wool auction. Wool has been sold over the internet in the past via an electronic offer board, but the new system launched by the company, Auctions Plus, allows buyers to bid for bales in real time.

Landmark wool manager, Dave Hart, says it will take some time for interest in the new system to build amongst both buyers and sellers.

"It was a very interesting exercise, met with probably limited success in terms of how many bales were sold. Out of 1,100 bales offered, only 243 bales were sold," Hart said. "The online auction is planned to be a weekly event but will be conducted in a cooperative manner with the rest of the wool trade. It's a marketing option to complement what we already have, the proponents are saying."

The online auction was conducted last week by Wool Trade Plus, an arm of Auctions Plus, which has run livestock auctions online for many years. Auctions Plus is jointly owned by Landmark, Elders, and Rural Co. (also known as Roberts Ltd).

Pennsylvania School District Using Sheep to Cut Costs

A small school district in Carlisle, Penn., is losing $2 million in state support this year after the state legislature made some of the largest education cuts in decades. But one school has come up with a creative way to take a small bite out of that deficit.

Tucked into a very informative article at Stateline about education cuts around the country is the delightful fact that Carlisle's Wilson Middle School assistant principal has donated the use of seven of his sheep to cut the school's grass. The sheep are expected to save the district an estimated $15,000 on yearly mowing costs.

"There were some people who called the principals," the district's superintendent, John Friend, told Stateline. "They thought that someone was playing a prank."

The district also installed solar panels last year on the six-acre plot where the sheep graze. Friend hopes the panels will further reduce costs.

USDA Asks for Input to Improve Processes

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is soliciting ideas about how to improve processes by consolidating information collected through the Farm Service Agency, Risk Management Agency and other USDA agencies.

The department has asked for ideas about how to simplify and standardize acreage reporting processes, program dates and data definitions, as well as how to allow farmers to use their farm-management and precision-agriculture systems for reporting production, planted and harvested acreage and other information needed to participate.

Comments are due by Sept. 19. More information is available at www.usda.gov/open.


Dairy Video Goes Viral

When Derik Milanesio decided to create a music video on his dairy farm in Strathmore, Calif., last month, he had no idea the attention it would receive. The music video, "Where them cows at," has gone viral. As of Monday, the video has had more than 8,200 views and the number keeps climbing. The video is available at http://vimeo.com/25964011.

Milanesio, herd manager for Frank Pinheiro Dairy, says he got the idea for the video after watching a friend's video on YouTube. His friend is a chicken farmer in Arkansas who made a video (youtube.com/watch?v=MFjE0qeUOq4) about the "chicks" on his farm.

"I said I can do better than that," says Milanesio.

Milanesio says he is surprised at how quickly the video took off. "We weren't originally planning to share it, but before we knew, it had already gone viral," he says.

The other surprising thing, he says, is that the video was spread by the agriculture industry - "It is amazing to see how the agriculture industry is connected."

Uruguay Expects Smallest Wool Clip in Over 100 Years

Uruguay is facing its smallest clip in over 100 years. The 2011-2012 season's wool production is estimated to be limited to 32 million kilograms, according to Joaquin Martinicorena, president of Uruguay's Wool Secretariat (SUL).

The disclosure was done during the official opening of the Uruguay 2011-2012 shearing season.

Minister of Agriculture and Livestock, Tabare Aguerre, said the clip this year will include the shearing of 7.5 million sheep and close to 2 million lambs, totaling an estimated 32 million kilograms of wool. A couple of decades ago, Uruguay's flock was more than 25 million.

However, the 2011-2012 season will be "the inflection point for Uruguay's falling sheep stock because of the excellent prices for wool and lamb", added SUL president.

Minister Aguerre said he was optimistic about the future of the sheep industry, emphasizing that sheep play an important role in rural development and social inclusion, and the purpose of the National Strategic Plan for the sector is basically to expand the production of lambs.

Financing to Enable Largest Slaughter Facility in Norway

The Nordic Investment Bank announced it signed a loan with Norwegian meat and egg supplier, Nortura SA, for NOK 315 million (US$58 million) to finance construction of what will become Norway's largest slaughterhouse.

The facility, to be constructed in central Norway, will slaughter cattle and sheep.

The new slaughterhouse will replace four of Nortura's old slaughterhouses, as well as a meat processing plant. In addition, three slaughterhouses owned by the meat company Spis Grilstad will be replaced due to a cooperation agreement between Nortura and Spis Grilstad.

Nortura expects to more than cut in half energy consumption by replacing the older slaughterhouses with a new modern facility. The new slaughterhouse, which was finalized in August 2010, will also significantly reduce water usage.

Nortura SA is organized as a cooperative owned by approximately 17,800 farmers and has industrial operations in 34 municipalities, with approximately 5,800 employees.

Fires, drought push bears into N.M. cities

BY JERI CLAUSING

ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALBUQUERQUE – Displaced by fires and short on food after months of drought, state game offi­cials say bears in search of a good meal are head­ing into the cities in unusually high numbers this summer.

In just the last week, a bear and her cub crashed a wedding at an exclusive Taos resort. A few days later, a bear was caught munching on fruit trees in a Santa Fe neighborhood. About 60 miles down the road, a bear was rescued from a tree in an Al­buquerque neighborhood. And earlier this sum­mer, a bear was caught on video checking garbage cans at the governor's mansion.

"There are bears everywhere," said Dan Wil­liams, spokesman for the New Mexico Depart­ment of Game and Fish. "It's a little busier this year than most for various reasons: We've had fires, we've had drought, we've had extreme heat. All of that has impacted the food source for the bears up high. Right now is when the bears really start trying to pack on weight for the winter. They are hungry, hungry. It's all about food for them right now. They will go to the easiest source of food right now – or any food."

Twenty-six bears have been trapped and re­leased back into the wild, Williams said. A record number – 147 – have been euthanized, 11 have been harvested by hunters and another 17 have killed on roads or other accidents.

Additionally, game and fish officers have brought 21 bears to the Wildlife Center in Espa­ñola this year, about two-thirds of which are cubs orphaned by fires and the drought.

"There's no food. So there's a lot bears," said Katherine Eagleson, executive director of the nonprofit rehabilitation refuge. "We've gotten some that have been burned by the fire and some that have gotten separated from their moms and some that are just hungry."

Eagleson said the center has been able to re­lease three bears back to the wild. One had to be euthanized while another, a 13- or 14-year-old female from the Las Conchas fire, is recovering from third-degree burns on all four paws and sec­ond- degree burns on other parts of her body.

Williams said in addition to the fires and drought, there also are more bears than usual.

"Our large carnivore biologist tells me that one of the reasons we are seeing so many bears this year is because the bears had a real good repro­ductive year going into this and the last couple of years," he said. "So there is a lot of offspring out there. In other words, there are just a lot of bears."

Williams said the bear who was tranquilized after crashing the wedding at El Monte Sagrado Resort on Aug. 6 has been released back into the wild, but her cub has not been found.
