Sacramento, CA…The Senator was instrumental in securing $600,000 for the Wolf-Livestock Compensation Program. Sen. Marie Alvarado-Gil (R-Jackson) is being commended for her commitment to protecting California’s ranchers amid a rise in wolf populations. Earlier this year, Senator Alvarado-Gil successfully secured $600,000 in the state budget to fund the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (CDFW) Wolf-Livestock Compensation Program, ensuring ranchers get the compensation and support they need when wolves prey on their livestock.
“The return of wolves to California marks an important milestone for wildlife restoration. But it brings challenges for our hardworking ranchers, who are essential in feeding our communities and supporting the state’s agriculture industry,” said Senator Alvarado-Gil. “This program gives them the help they need to protect their livestock and their livelihoods as we navigate these changes. I’m proud to advocate on their behalf, and I’m committed to ensuring they have resources they need to thrive.”
In 2021, the California State Legislature allocated $3 million to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to create a Wolf-Livestock Compensation Pilot Program aimed at reducing the effects of wolves on livestock producers. The program focuses on three key areas of support: addressing direct livestock losses, implementing nonlethal deterrents, and providing incentives through a “Pay for Presence” approach.
As of June 30, 2024, California’s wolf population has grown to at least 63 wolves, including 30 new pups, with the discovery of an eighth pack called the “Diamond Pack.” This is a significant increase from 44 wolves at the end of 2023. However, as the wolf population rises, so do attacks on livestock. In 2024, there have been 39 confirmed livestock kills from 33 wolf attacks, marking a 62% increase from last year.
Senator Alvarado-Gil’s efforts garnered praise from The California Cattlemen’s Association, The California Farm Bureau, and Defenders of Wildlife:
“Senator Alvarado-Gil and her team are to be commended for their work to secure renewed funding for the Wolf-Livestock Compensation Program, which provides important benefits for the recovery of wolves in California,” said Pamela Flick, California Program Director for Defenders of Wildlife. “The return of gray wolves to California is a remarkable success story, and it’s critical that we continue to fund this crucial program to compensate livestock producers for economic losses determined to be caused by wolves.”
“As California’s wolf population has increased, so too have the losses of calves and other livestock from wolf predation, demonstrating the need for a robust compensation program in the state. The California Cattlemen’s Association thanks Senator Marie Alvarado-Gil for her work this year to secure renewed funding for CDFW’s Wolf-Livestock Compensation Program, ensuring that the cattle ranchers most impacted by gray wolves can remain viable to continue their stewardship of the land,” said Kirk Wilbur on behalf of the California Cattlemen’s Association.
“California’s Wolf-Livestock Compensation Program is a national model for reducing conflict between wildlife and ranchers. As the state’s wolf population grows, so too will the need for continued funding, said Steven Fenaroli on behalf of the California Farm Bureau. “We appreciate Senator Alvarado-Gil and the legislature for their swift action in allocating resources during this challenging budget season.”

Sincere thank you to Senator Alvarado-Gill for authentically reflecting on what her previous political party was and was not focusing on. She is now pro-Californian vs. pro-Commifornian. Let’s look at refreshing the recall of a governor who buys a $9mil compound to cushion himself from the homelssness, crime, illegal immigrant surge that he has created selfishly out of political retribution, with no regard to his or our children, grandchildren or current upright citizens. Recall Newsom. Re-set CA.
This is what happens when the least educated voters in the country aged 25+ have the right to vote without having to take an IQ test.
So she just filed a countersuit against the former aide who sued her for sexual harrassment. And apparently he hurt his neck while going down on her in a parked car. She made him go down. Perfect. She will probably earn a cabinet position in Washington D.C. now. Then she can go down on Gaetz while Pete Hogshead and MTG watch!!!! Trump will be behind a curtain choking his miniscule chicken.
More rapes and murders committed by the let’s new voters.
On Wednesday, US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Boston announced that two illegal immigrants have been arrested and charged with forcibly raping children in Massachusetts. The agency also announced the arrest of a third person who was convicted of raping a child in Brazil and was hiding out in the US after being caught and released at the US Southern border in 2022.
Democratic Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey previously said her state wouldn’t cooperate with federal immigration enforcement efforts and mass deportation plans once President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House in January.
According to ICE, one of the suspects, 21-year-old Mynor Stiven De Paz-Munoz, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala, was arrested for the forcible rape of a child. However, law enforcement in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, ignored a detainer request made by the federal agency and released him.
ICE said in a statement that on Sept. 24, 2020, he entered the US, near Eagle Pass, Texas, and was released by the US Border Patrol with a notice to appear before a Department of Justice (DOJ) Executive Office of Immigration Review Judge.
On Feb. 29, 2024, De Paz-Munoz was arrested in western Massachusetts by Great Barrington police, for rape of a child by force, rape of a child, and indecent assault and battery on a person 14 or older, but again the police ignored an Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) detainer and he was released on bail.
Boston lodged a detainer with the police department, but it was ignored, and De Paz-Munoz was released on bail before ERO Boston officers could take him into custody.
He is now back in custody after having been charged by the Berkshire County Superior Court with the crimes. Acting ERO Boston Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde said, “Mynor Stiven De Paz-Munoz stands accused of horrifically victimizing a Massachusetts child and represents a significant threat to our neighborhoods. We owe it to the children of our New England communities to prioritize public safety above everything else.”
On Oct. 8, 2023, 42-year-old Billy Erney Buitrago-Bustos of Colombia, was arrested by Great Barrington police for allegedly raping a child by force, statutory rape, and aggravated rape. He entered the US on May 4, 2016, at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, but failed to leave under the terms of his visa.
After his arrest, ERO Boston filed an immigration arrest with the Great Barrington Police Department. After he was arraigned in the Southern Berkshire District Court and held without bail, the charges were elevated to the Berkshire County Superior Court on March 18, which honored the immigration detainer and released him into the custody of ERO Boston on Nov. 15.
41-year-old Alexandre Romao De Oliveira is a fugitive from Brazil who was convicted on Feb. 10, 2022, by the First Criminal Court of Jaru, Rondônia, of raping a child in Brazil and was sentenced to serve 14 years behind bars.
However, he fled the country before he could serve his sentence and entered the US on April 16, 2022, near Santa Teresa, New Mexico, without admission by an immigration official. He was released from custody after being served a notice to appear before a DOJ immigration review judge.
I’ll second that!
I just want to Thank PG&E for buying my multi million dollar new home. Gavin Newsom

TRUMP’S YOUR DADDY AGAIN
I think the democrats need a good cry. Not only did they look like idiots for electing Biden/Harris and those two became the worst in their jobs in Modern History, but they handed Trump the Presidency, the Senate AND the House.
All of the above is directly due to their ignorance, voting for a basement dwelling old man and a woman who started her political career giving blowjobs and spreading her legs to a married man who was a SF mayor.
Jeez, what a story, ex-hooker almost becomes president but blows $1.6 BILLION DOLLARS in a landslide loss.
Ahahahahahahaha, that’s too funny, the gay men Dems on the PT must of sent their idols on the View their crying and whining post they wrote on here.
Now those butch women sound like the tampon wearing transgender girlies here.
Joy Behar, co-host of “The View” said it was time to “tell the truth” on Thursday as she said she and other Democrats who supported Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election are “miserable” and they “hate that [Trump] won.”
“We lost the election. We’re miserable. Half of this country is miserable. And let’s just tell the truth: We hate that he won. We hate it. And everyone’s uptight and crazy right now.”
A clown car of MAGA idiots
Trumps mental health will never make his term. He is already melting down hard. Looks like a complete idiot. Sad time in AMERICA.
Isn’t that what happen to biden?
^^Obviously one of Trumps base. Uneducated and ignorant. “Isn’t that what happen to biden?” Nice reflection of your lack of education. WTF over?
I miss my stepmom Bill!
I’m a sore loser, Sniveler
Cry us a river dummycraps. We had to put up with highest inflation in over 4 decades, an embarrassing debacle of a withdrawal from Afghanistan that had our dementia in chief take our military out of a country before he rescued American citizens and never told our Allies. Then he had to bring our military back in. Besides killing American military personnel, he brought in to our country terrorists!!! Then on national TV he said he ordered a Righteous killing of 8 children in a Reaper Drone Strike.
15,000,000 illegals, thousands of them are convicted Murderers who ran away from their country so they wouldn’t be jailed. Plus thousands of sexual predators, violent gang members, drug pushers, Mexican cartel in all 50 states. Record violent crimes, ,highest energy cost on record, every thing he’s done has been a failure.
And his party is responsible for 2 Assassination attempts on our new Savior of America
