WASHINGTON - Two conservation groups are calling on the federal government to restore gray wolves to Washington state, saying it's time to "hear the call of the wild again" on the Olympic Peninsula, in the Cascade Mountains and in the Blue Mountains of southeastern Washington.
Defenders of Wildlife and the Northwest Ecosystem Alliance said Wednesday that they have sent a petition to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, requesting that the agency restore and protect gray wolves under the Endangered Species Act.
Joan Jewett, a spokeswoman for the Fish and Wildlife Service in Portland, said Wednesday that she had not seen the petition, but that the agency would review it upon receipt.

Two years ago, Defenders of Wildlife petitioned federal officials to restore the gray wolf to the Southern Rockies, and petitioned in April 2001 for restoration in California. Those petitions are pending.
Since its apparent you didnt read the article I posted, I went ahead and cut out some key parts for you to review. Will you also take note of the date it was published, do the math and hopefully you will figure out on your own that your camp buddies were circumventing the ESA approval process and doing some kind of reintruduction on there own.
If this is the case, one could only speculate that they were compensated to do this illegal activity by one of the Animal Rights group that wants reintroduction...
Sure glad you know that your in agreeance with this reintroduction. Maybe you should send those animal rights groups some money, because they will meet some overwelming resistance when they attempt to "officially" bring wolves to Washington.
If all your claims are true about what you witnessed,and keep in mind this is a Federal program, so this is most likely a federal crime and IMO you should report it so and not withold back.
Make the RIGHT choice and turn them in! or ya in kahoots whith them?
I will pass this thread along for review and see if there is in validity, but dont seem surprised if ya get a call
