Yellowstone National Park.And they said, "We think
so, but first we'd like you to come up and tag some wolves and do some
preliminary looking to make sure we've got enough."So we did that and sure
enough, there were a lot of wolves.The first year, 1995, we got 29 wolves
from Alberta, and shipped them into Yellowstone and Central Idaho, and the next
year, 1996, we went up to British Columbia and I think we took 37 wolves and
brought them down.NOVA: How did you catch them?EB: In Alberta, we worked with local trappers who normally trap wolves for the
pelts.We had several biologists from the Alaska Department of Fish and
Game who are experts at helicopter darting and capture operations.It takes about seven
or eight minutes for the wolf to become immobilized.The park guys took
family groups and put whole packs in pens in Yellowstone Park, kept them for
about two months and then turned loose the family group together.And if they leave that, then they're exposed to possible
attacks by other wolf packs or families.So when you move them somewhere
different, they want to go back home.NOVA: How did you deal with this in the context of your relocation project?EB: Well, studies have shown that if you move a wolf more than 60 miles from
its home territory, it will try to get back home, but it really can't figure it
out.They'll go for maybe 30 miles and then think, "Oh man, I'm lost.EB: Well, we deliberately got rid of them, as a society.The last wolves were actually killed by the U.Fish and Wildlife
Service that is now responsible for wolf restoration!EB: Well, some people voiced concern, but they were a tiny minority.With nothing else to eat, predators were taking their livestock.And so really the voices for restraint were overwhelmed by the vast majority of
people who wanted to put all the Indians on Indian reservations, cut all the
timber, mine all the dirt, and use all the water.The attitude was
exploitative.The vegetation was being
used by animals that were no longer reproductively active.Coyotes became more
widespread.Coyotes and wolves kind of compete for space.As a consequence, I
think foxes kind of took it in the shorts.They ended up being persecuted, so
to speak, by coyotes.NOVA: How were the wolves killed?EB: Poison, and a lot of them were shot.But poison
is probably what did away with most of the wolves.President Nixon that actually did away with
the 1080 baits.NOVA: What shifted the tide?You know when you scold your
dog, how it just curls up and makes itself really small?Wolves who want to appear
threatening also try make themselves appear larger.That's the same reason that wolves
never attack people.And they live their entire lives without
ever trying it.EB: They're doing great.There were no livestock depredations in '95.Thousands of people were getting to see and hear wolves howl, which I didn't
think would happen.But after two years, the wolves have adapted so well that we
don't have to do any more reintroductions.This year in the park
there were 13 litters born to nine breeding groups.In Idaho this year
we had at least seven litters born and we think we may even have one or two
more.The wolves are staying pretty much in wilderness areas, or on national
forest lands, public lands.In Northwest Montana, which is our third recovery
area, wolves started coming back naturally from Canada.NOVA: You've lost some wolves.One was killed by a mountain lion.In Yellowstone, we've had, I think,
three wolves hit by cars on the road.We've had, I believe, four wolves
illegally shot.NOVA: Have you found out who shot the wolves and why?So it was pretty severe.NOVA: He just did it for fun?Wolves do kill trespassing wolves in their territory.And we had to kill a wolf because it attacked livestock.If it attacks
livestock again, it's killed.EB: Well the livestock industry, particularly the sheep industry, has been the
most outspoken opponent of wolf restoration.And so, of course, they don't want another predator feeding on their
livestock.And there is a private program that compensates producers for
their losses.EB: Well, I think everybody has accepted the fact that wolves are here to
stay.The reintroductions are over and done with.The wolves are doing great.There's been almost no problems with livestock, and when there have been
livestock problems, we efficiently take care of the problem including killing
the wolves, and they receive their money from the Defenders of Wildlife, a
group that established a private compensation program within just a matter of
weeks.They have a major influence.So
bears will have a more constant food supply throughout the year.Scavengers
such as wolverines and bald eagles and golden eagles and magpies will also have
carcasses throughout the year.And that's going to have an effect on the whole
scavenger community.So I think wolves are impacting
coyotes.It will take time for the whole system
to readjust, but already you can see the signs of it starting to change.Wolf

Mountain Sanctuary is one of the few sanctuaries which allows human interaction with the wolves.The
impression a 180 lb wolf leaves on visitors to the sanctuary by rubbing their cheek against them and
giving wolf kisses is ever lasting.We
feel that as the wolves will be captive for their whole life, they need to receive the love their
caretakers and friends can offer.Interacting with he wolves is a truly amazing experience and it aids us in educating humanity
of the wolves plight.WMS
