His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>For decades, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/gray-wolf\">gray wolves\u003c/a> were thought to have been hunted and poisoned into extinction in California, with the last sighting of the animal in the 1920s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that changed in late 2011, when a wolf wearing a radio collar crossed into the state from Oregon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the years since, California’s gray wolf population has grown into the dozens, with most roaming the \u003ca href=\"https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=229435&inline\">far northern part of the state\u003c/a>. State Department of Fish and Wildlife officials say wolfpack activity has been reported in Shasta, Lassen, Plumas and Sierra counties. But in some of those areas, like Modoc County, the wolf’s reappearance is fueling a backlash — especially among \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/cattle-ranchers\">cattle ranchers\u003c/a>, who see the apex predator as a growing menace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have lost all fear of humans and are coming in and killing livestock in very close proximity to ranch houses that are occupied with families,” said Ned Coe, a Modoc County supervisor and rancher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that more ranchers in the region are losing their cattle to wolf attacks as the predators shift their hunting targets from wild game to livestock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What would your choice be? A very fast deer or a large, fast elk? Or a beef animal — out in what oftentimes is a very smooth, wide open pasture — that doesn’t run very fast or very far?” he asked. “Easy dinner.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To protect their livestock, ranchers use a variety of non-lethal deterrents to keep the wolves away. That includes electric fencing and air horns programmed to emit blasts of sound at random times. Ranchers also use fladry, which are brightly colored strips of plastic or cloth tied to fences, to exploit wolves’ fear of unfamiliar objects and keep them away from herds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12038715\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12038715\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/JESSICA-VIGIL-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/JESSICA-VIGIL-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/JESSICA-VIGIL-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/JESSICA-VIGIL-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/JESSICA-VIGIL-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/JESSICA-VIGIL-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/JESSICA-VIGIL-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jessica Vigil, manager of Dixie Valley Ranch in Shasta County, has lost cattle to wolf attacks. \u003ccite>(Saul Gonzalez/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But Jessica Vigil said wolves are canny predators that quickly adapt to measures used to scare them off. Vigil, manager of the Dixie Valley Ranch, which spans thousands of acres in Shasta County, said wolf attacks are increasing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a short span of last fall in a month, we had five depredations confirmed by wolves,” Vigil said. “That is a cattle killed by a wolf. And then, last month, we had a set of twin calves that were born, they were killed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the wolves’ return to the state, no people have been injured or killed by the animals. Experts say that’s rare, but Modoc County Sheriff Tex Dowdy fears that could change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is the absolute fear … that we get a call that somebody’s been attacked by one of these wolves and at that point it’s too late,” he said. “I feel like we haven’t done enough to protect our constituents, our folks, our kids.

State Department of Fish and Wildlife officials say wolfpack activity has been reported in Shasta, Lassen, Plumas and Sierra counties. But in some of those areas, like Modoc County, the wolf’s reappearance is fueling a backlash — especially among \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/cattle-ranchers\">cattle ranchers\u003c/a>, who see the apex predator as a growing menace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have lost all fear of humans and are coming in and killing livestock in very close proximity to ranch houses that are occupied with families,” said Ned Coe, a Modoc County supervisor and rancher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

State biologists planned the capture operation after the U.S. Forest Service found evidence of a recent wolf presence in Lassen National Forest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The anesthesia and collaring process went smoothly and the wolf was in excellent condition,” CDFW’s senior wildlife veterinarian, Dr. Deana Clifford, said in a statement. “Furthermore, our physical examination indicated that she had given birth to pups this spring.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The female wolf was lactating, and state biologists believe it's her first litter.

The collar will collect data about her activity patterns, survival, reproduction and prey preferences. It may also help to minimize wolf-livestock conflicts by providing information about the pack’s location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s going to help us learn and glean information that can help us with the conservation management plan, as far as how we can help protect livestock and also help the species grow in the state,\" Traverso said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, biologists know that the Lassen Pack regularly crosses public and private lands.

State biologists planned the capture operation after the U.S. Forest Service found evidence of a recent wolf presence in Lassen National Forest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The anesthesia and collaring process went smoothly and the wolf was in excellent condition,” CDFW’s senior wildlife veterinarian, Dr. Deana Clifford, said in a statement. “Furthermore, our physical examination indicated that she had given birth to pups this spring.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The female wolf was lactating, and state biologists believe it's her first litter. It's unclear how old the pups are. \"She’s still nursing them. It’s really hard to assess,\" Traverso said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the female’s origins remain unknown, genetic samples obtained from scat indicate the male wolf originated from Oregon’s Rogue Pack. Traverso said he is the son of the famous wolf OR-7, the Rogue Pack’s breeding male -- who generated international interest when he became the first wild wolf in nearly a century to venture into Northern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/2014/07/25/californias-wandering-wolf-now-has-puppies-in-oregon/\">Photos taken in 2014\u003c/a>, also by remote camera, confirmed that OR-7 had at least three pups. Today, his son's pups are the equivalent of his grand-pups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biologists are hoping to learn a lot more about the Lassen Pack via the collar on the female -- the first gray wolf collared in California. The collar will collect data about her activity patterns, survival, reproduction and prey preferences. It may also help to minimize wolf-livestock conflicts by providing information about the pack’s location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s going to help us learn and glean information that can help us with the conservation management plan, as far as how we can help protect livestock and also help the species grow in the state,\" Traverso said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, biologists know that the Lassen Pack regularly crosses public and private lands. While most of the pack’s known activity to date has been in western Lassen County, some tracks also have been confirmed in Plumas County, the CDFW said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Known by the code name given to him when he was tagged with a GPS collar, he caused \u003ca href=\"http://science.kqed.org/quest/audio/lone-wolf%E2%80%99s-historic-trek-provokes-questions-and-concerns/\">quite a stir\u003c/a> among everyone from environmentalists to cattle ranchers. \u003ca href=\"http://science.kqed.org/quest/2013/01/23/fear-and-loathing-in-wolf-country/\">Conflicting feelings ran deep\u003c/a>, rooted in various cultures and histories: some revere the wolf; many fear it. OR7 has since returned to Oregon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our lone wolf notwithstanding, the gray wolf has made a healthy comeback since its listing under the Endangered Species Act over three decades ago — so much so that the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) is \u003ca href=\"http://www.fws.gov/home/wolfrecovery/\">proposing\u003c/a> to remove the animal from federal protections in the lower 48 states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wolf activists think the move to delist is premature, and are planning a \u003ca href=\"http://org.salsalabs.com/o/2167/p/salsa/event/common/public/?event_KEY=81110\">rally\u003c/a> in Sacramento on Friday, Nov. 22, to voice their opposition. The rally precedes an FWS \u003ca href=\"http://www.fws.gov/home/wolfrecovery/\">public hearing\u003c/a> on the proposal, one of several being held across the country. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'We need to restore the gray wolf to the numbers where it's fulfilling its ecological role.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>FWS \u003ca href=\"http://www.fws.gov/home/wolfrecovery/pdf/FrequentlyAskedQuestions11-19-13.pdf\">states\u003c/a> on its website that there are now 5,360 gray wolves in the lower 48, with a current estimate of 1,674 in the northern Rocky Mountains and 3,686 in the western Great Lakes. The numbers, say FWS, far exceed the minimum numbers set at the outset of the recovery plan, and it is now time to \"focus our limited resources on the Mexican wolf population in the Southwest.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But activists say the numbers are not nearly enough to ensure full recovery. \"They're utterly deficient,\" says Amaroq Weiss of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/\">Center for Biological Diversity\u003c/a>, one of the groups behind Friday's rally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need to restore the gray wolf to the numbers where it's fulfilling its ecological role,\" Weiss adds. She points out what happened at \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_wolves_in_Yellowstone\">Yellowstone National Park\u003c/a>, when the gray wolf population was decimated in the 1920s. This resulted in elk — wolves' prey — proliferating and overgrazing on the area flora and fauna, which had a detrimental effect on the larger animal and plant environment. (The gray wolf was reintroduced to Yellowstone in 1995.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FWS says the gray wolf population is \"robust\" in eight states – Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Washington and Oregon. If it does delist the animal, wolf recovery efforts will be left almost entirely to the states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which brings us back to OR7. When he crossed into California in December 2011, the Center for Biological Diversity and several other groups petitioned the state to add the gray wolf to its endangered species list. After several years of study, the prospects of state action do not look good, says Weiss. In an op-ed that ran in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/opinion/ci_24557440/wolves-california-needs-help-save-endangered-species\">Mercury News\u003c/a> today she wrote:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The word out of Sacramento this week is that a preliminary state study undergoing peer review tries to make a case against protecting wolves. In fact, OR-7's historic 500-mile journey from Oregon to California makes a very strong case for why wolves need protecting here, offering on-the-ground proof of what top researchers have said for decades: Recovering populations will return to California's thousands of acres of prime, upland wolf habitat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question is, will California be prepared to manage them when they get here?\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.fgc.ca.gov/\">California Fish and Game Commission\u003c/a> is expected to decide in February whether wolves should be protected under the state’s Endangered Species Act. They’ll be using the preliminary state study that Weiss mentioned in her op-ed. According to a \u003ca href=\"http://www.capitalpress.com/article/20131119/ARTICLE/131119888\">report from Capital Press\u003c/a>, the study recommends against endangered species protections because currently, there aren’t any wolves in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should a wolf wander into California without being protected as a state or federal endangered species, it would be considered a “non-game” mammal, which means it can’t be hunted, but could be killed for causing property damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is planning for more wolves. State officials have convened stakeholders including ranching, hunting and environmental groups to put together a \u003ca href=\"http://www.dfg.ca.gov/wildlife/nongame/wolf/Stakeholders.html\">statewide wolf management plan\u003c/a>. The plan would look at where wolves could expand to in California and will examine how other states have managed conflicts between wolves and livestock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hunting wolves is already allowed in the northern Rockies, and about 56 were killed in Wyoming this year, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.denverpost.com/environment/ci_24559595/feds-push-end-endangered-protection-gray-wolves-ignites\">Denver Post\u003c/a>.

The numbers, say FWS, far exceed the minimum numbers set at the outset of the recovery plan, and it is now time to \"focus our limited resources on the Mexican wolf population in the Southwest.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She points out what happened at \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_wolves_in_Yellowstone\">Yellowstone National Park\u003c/a>, when the gray wolf population was decimated in the 1920s. This resulted in elk — wolves' prey — proliferating and overgrazing on the area flora and fauna, which had a detrimental effect on the larger animal and plant environment. (The gray wolf was reintroduced to Yellowstone in 1995.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FWS says the gray wolf population is \"robust\" in eight states – Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Washington and Oregon. If it does delist the animal, wolf recovery efforts will be left almost entirely to the states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Which brings us back to OR7. When he crossed into California in December 2011, the Center for Biological Diversity and several other groups petitioned the state to add the gray wolf to its endangered species list. After several years of study, the prospects of state action do not look good, says Weiss. In an op-ed that ran in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/opinion/ci_24557440/wolves-california-needs-help-save-endangered-species\">Mercury News\u003c/a> today she wrote:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The word out of Sacramento this week is that a preliminary state study undergoing peer review tries to make a case against protecting wolves. In fact, OR-7's historic 500-mile journey from Oregon to California makes a very strong case for why wolves need protecting here, offering on-the-ground proof of what top researchers have said for decades: Recovering populations will return to California's thousands of acres of prime, upland wolf habitat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question is, will California be prepared to manage them when they get here?\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.fgc.ca.gov/\">California Fish and Game Commission\u003c/a> is expected to decide in February whether wolves should be protected under the state’s Endangered Species Act. They’ll be using the preliminary state study that Weiss mentioned in her op-ed. According to a \u003ca href=\"http://www.capitalpress.com/article/20131119/ARTICLE/131119888\">report from Capital Press\u003c/a>, the study recommends against endangered species protections because currently, there aren’t any wolves in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should a wolf wander into California without being protected as a state or federal endangered species, it would be considered a “non-game” mammal, which means it can’t be hunted, but could be killed for causing property damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is planning for more wolves. State officials have convened stakeholders including ranching, hunting and environmental groups to put together a \u003ca href=\"http://www.dfg.ca.gov/wildlife/nongame/wolf/Stakeholders.html\">statewide wolf management plan\u003c/a>. The plan would look at where wolves could expand to in California and will examine how other states have managed conflicts between wolves and livestock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hunting wolves is already allowed in the northern Rockies, and about 56 were killed in Wyoming this year, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.denverpost.com/environment/ci_24559595/feds-push-end-endangered-protection-gray-wolves-ignites\">Denver Post\u003c/a>. Michigan held its \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/11/15/mich-prepares-for-first-wolf-hunt/3561529/\">first-ever wolf hunt\u003c/a> last Friday -- an effort, say state officials, to reduce wolf depredation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003cstrong>public hearing\u003c/strong> on the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service proposal to delist the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act will be held on Friday, Nov. 22, 6-8:30 p.m., the Marriott Courtyard Sacramento Cal Expo, Golden State Ballroom, 1782 Tribute Road, Sacramento. A \u003cstrong>rally\u003c/strong> by those opposed to the delisting is scheduled the same day at 4 p.m. at the entrance to the Marriott.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
