Wolf Resolution
Adopted in Convention at Redmond, Oregon, this Fifth day of March, 2005, by members of Oregon Women for Agriculture.
 
WHEREAS: The Canadian Gray Wolf was introduced in Idaho, Wyoming and Montana as “non-essential experimental populations” and is not a native species of Oregon; and
 
WHEREAS: Oregon’s endangered species act (OESA) requires any listed species be “native, not introduced;” and
 
WHEREAS: The wolf native to Oregon has long since been deemed extirpated/extinct; and
 
WHEREAS: The introduced wolf is under the jurisdiction of USFWS and “any wolf” is listed in Oregon law as an exotic animal (ORS 609-305) with prohibitions for keeping in Oregon permit from Oregon Department of Agriculture: and
 
WHEREAS: Any wolf migrating from other states to Oregon will be managed, monitored and controlled by USFWS at their expenses under their rules, with no responsibility falling upon ODFW except to request its removal to protect Oregon citizens and the wildlife of Oregon; now, therefore….
 
BE IT RESOLVED, that Oregon Women for Agriculture do hereby advise the Oregon Legislature that the wolf should be removed from the OESA based on its non-existence, that the illegal Oregon Wolf Conservation and Management Plan be rescinded and no future action be taken or money be spent by Oregon’s state agencies on either.
 
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that, in the event the CGW is federally de-listed, Oregon will evaluate its legal classification and change from exotic animal to predator.
 
Adopted in Convention at Redmond, Oregon, this Fifth day of March, 2005, by members of Oregon Women for Agriculture.
