California Fish and Game Commission and Director Bonham,
I would like to express concerns about the wolves currently inhabiting California, specifically in Siskiyou County. There are several issues related to these wolves that I believe require the attention of both the Commission and the Department. Given that wildlife is considered a public trust, I firmly believe that the Commission and the Department bear the responsibility for their proper management.
First and foremost, I want to emphasize the alarming rate at which wolves in Siskiyou County are killing livestock. The number of livestock casualties does not align with the currently estimated wolf population figures reported by the Department. These population figures are factually incorrect, and it is the ranchers of Siskiyou County who are bearing the brunt of this mismanagement.
