 “DEC's
Wolf Scheming” - By Carol W. LaGrasse, March 2012 (Reprinted
from New York Property Rights Clearinghouse, Winter 2011-2012,
PRFA)
DEC’s voluminous Strategic Plan for the State
Forests (August 2010) and its 110-page June 2011 letter to the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service demonstrate the state’s
official policy to accomplish wolf recovery in New York State
and the Northeast.

 “The
Truth about Wolf Reintroduction: What the U.S. Can Learn from
Russian Wolves,” Address by Will N. Graves, Author Wolves
in Russia, Fifteenth Annual National Conference on Private
Property Rights, Latham, N.Y., October 29, 2011 (Property Rights
Foundation of America, Inc.)
In this very concise summary, Will Graves systematically refutes
some of the claims that wolves would have no significant impact
when their reintroduction was planned for Yellowstone National
Park: The actual impact included devastating impact on hunting;
the elk population and many other species are decimated. He also
countered claim that wolves cull only the sick and old.

- New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation letter to US Fish and
Wildlife Service, June 30, 2011 - By Christopher A. Amato,
Assistant Commissioner (8 pp. letter of the 110 pp. commentary
and technical information transmitted to comment on “Proposed
Rule to Revise the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
for the Gray Wolf (Canis lupus) in the eastern United States,
Initiation of Status Reviews for the Gray Wolf and Eastern Wolf
(Canis lycaon)”
This letter argues against the US FWS proposed rule change
involving reclassification of the wolves in the Northeast, and
warns that “the new National Wolf Strategy…would
leave wolves in the Northeast without any federal protection
and essentially abandon the possibility of wolf recovery in the
Northeast.”

- “Enormous
Wilderness Corridors Masquerading as Land Management Refinements”
- By Carol W. LaGrasse, Reprinted from New York Property Rights
Clearinghouse, Vol. 15, No. 1 (PRFA, Spring 2011)
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s
Strategic Plan for its 442 state forests comprising 786,000 acres
outside the Adirondack and Catskill Forest Preserves focuses
on ensuring connectivity for wildlife movement between large
“matrix blocks” of state forests maintained
as mature cover connected with wide, natural strips of land with
a high percentage of forest cover. This system would enhance
connectivity though deep forested areas from Ontario to Georgia.

- Anxiety Through the Ages, from Range magazine, Winter
2008 “In his new book, ‘Wolves in Russia,’
Will N. Graves chronicles the reason wolves are feared by the
people who must live with them…” Also includes
Introduction by Barney Nelson Ph. D, and forward by editor Valerius
Geist, Ph. D., professor emeritus of environmental science, University
of Calgary.
Plus: From the Author’s Preface: “Most
of what I have learned is from reading Russian and talking to
Russians. In my opinion, many western writers and specialists
on wolves have become enamoured with these animals…However,
most of these pro-wolf writers are basing their conclusions primarily
on emotions, and not on facts.”
