(Continued froin Page 1) Davidson insists that in the fu- ture, he will not sell the furs of any animal that is on the Engan- gered Species List of the Depart- ment of the Interior, a list of rare animals whose slaughter, sale, or importation are prohibited by fed- eral law. At this time, the list names three of the some 24 subspecies of Canis lupus as endangered, but the pro- hibition is not commonly enforced. I. SPEIWAK and Sons are now using coyote fur where they used to use wolf, according to Robert Speiwak, treasurer for the firm. Fund for Animals has objected to the use of coyote fur on the grounds that coyotes too are ap- proaching endangered status. According to prosecuting attor- ney Frank Stuart Freeman of the state Attorney General's Environ- mental Division, the procedure fol- lowed after the office has received a verifiable complaint about an endangered species law violation, is to first "tell the store nicely that they are in violation of the law. "IF THEN they don't comply,"I Freeman says, "we send them a nasty letter, and if they still don't comply, we undergo court proceed- ings to prohibit the store from continuing to sell the item." Proceedings a r e complicated, however, Freeman says, by the difficulty of determining whether the furs in question are actually wolf. "Several of the firms advertis- ing 'wolf' are actually selling 'coyote'," says Freeman. "These cases are then turned over to the Consumer Protection division." In a recent court proceeding; against J. L. Hidson's, attorneys, Professors Archibald Cowan and for both the state and the company Dale McCullough express the belief found that the majority of the furs that wolves, while practically non- labelled as "wolf" turqed out to be existent in the lower 48 states of coycote on inspection. the U.S., are not currently in any d a n g e r of extinction in either THE STORE agreed to stop sell- Canada 'or Alaska.

ALTHOUGH DORIS Dixon, re- gional director of Fund for Ani- mals, says- the attorney general's office hasbeen informed by mail of wolf fur sales in Ann Arbor, Freeman claims no letters of com- plaint concerning city stores have reached his office. According to a secretary in Free- man's office, Dixon's letter could have been misplaced if it was addressed only to the attorney gen- eral's office. and not specifically to the Environmental Protection division. Experts agree that it is not only possible but historically demon- strable that man can drive certain species into extinction by unbridled mass slaughter for commercial purposes. According to Lewis Re- genstein, Washington director of Fund for. Animals, 500 animal species have met extinction so far in this century. REGENSTEIN SAYS the two species of North American wolf, Canis lupus (gray or timber wolf), and the very scarce Canis niger (red wolf), are both in danger. There are currently estimated to be fewer than 25 of these wolves left in the entire state of Michigan. According to the North American Association for the Preservation of Predatory Animals, there were 5,000 wolves left in Alaska in 1970, and the number has dwindled by 1,000 each year since. H o w e v e r, University wildlife The Canadian government does not consider the wolf to be an en- dangered species in that country. MOST LOCALLY sold wolf fur comes from Canada. Coats sold in The Bivouac are labelled, "Cana- dian W o 1 f - not an endangered species." Neither Regenstein nor Cowman and McCullough condone issuance of bounties on the lives of wolves. Scientists a n d environmentalists agree that the wolf is not the dangerous and vicious creature portrayed in folklore. It is more accurately characterized as a shy creature, avoiding c o n t a c t with humans whenever possible, they say. "In one f is c a 1 year-1967-68- Alaska paid bounties on 1,711 wolves, 718 of which were killed from airplanes," Regenstein states. Wolf hunting by airplane involves flying over a herd-or pack in the wilds and firing indiscriminately into the group -with a shotgun. Later, the hunter returns on a snowmobile to pick .up the pieces. In addition to the bounty, which may be as high as'$200, the hunter receives roughly $50 to $100 from a furrier for the pelt. The issuance of bounties has since been discontinued in most, but not all localities.
