PNP comment: Come “walk a mile in our shoes” and watch your pets and livestock slaughtered. These wolves were never “native” to Siskiyou. These are CANADIAN huge wolves. The SF Gate is so insensitive in telling us how we should live, without living here! — Editor Liz Bowen
Siskiyou County officials want to ban wolves
Tuesday, May 8, 2012
Fear of the big bad wolf has taken hold of a few politicians in Siskiyou County, who have introduced an ordinance to ban the predators.
The Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to consider a proposed law Tuesday that would “prohibit the presents of wolves in Siskiyou County.”
The misspelled ordinance, written by Leo Bergeron, the president of the Siskiyou County Water Users Association, was not referring to wolf welcome gifts, but the presence of wolves in the county.
The law would declare wolves, wolf hybrids and wolf dogs to be “injurious, detrimental and damaging to the county and its inhabitants” and an “imminent danger to individuals, families and the lives of others.”
It would also presumably allow ranchers to shoot California’s only wolf, the first of his species in the state in almost 90 years.
