Well, best of luck to both of you in your fights. Whenever the federal gov't interferes with something like this it never works, and sometimes it doesn't even work on the local level depending on what type of person you have in office.

Nope not mad. No sense in that. Frustrated because you don't really understand what I have said. The wolf issue is an emotional issue. The do gooder tree huggers would have you think wolves are noble caring animals...as they feel the people on their side of the issue are.. They care not for the problems they create. The only thing they think is that they are better people than others...why they helped get wolves reintroduced...so aren't they grand?? I must also say there really is no such thing as wolf politics. Just another way to try to humanize another animal. There are however wolf issues...Just like the trapping issue. The non trapping side think they are better people than anyone that would wear or use an animal skin..oh horrors. And to cut trees where spotted owls live..how could we... Just so long as they have their house made from those same trees and they don't know..it's OK

Actually, that entire statement you just made I agree with. I can't stand the tree huggers either, they are no different up here than in other states other than the fact that they haven't made any headway up here... yet!

Wolves don't care of the people that care for them, but they ARE a caring animals as far as their own families (packs) are concerned, but they (like us) are also a vicious cold-blooded killer ... lots of times I think people love or hate the wolf because they ARE much like us in their actions.

Don't get me started on humanizing animals - I have nine large dogs, they ARE my kids :D:D and better behaved and more well-manered critters you won't find :cool: More so than my human kids!! lol

Dogs
 

Had a friend from Nenana who had a pack of sled dogs. Left 3 in his Land Cruiser. Ate his seats..Literally in 15 minutes. Thought it was funnier than he!!. Laughed till I cried. Just think of all the nauga's it took to make those naugahyde seats. I actually know of a gal who thought it was a real animal that they made naugahyde seats out of. The lights were on..but nobody was home...Like most of the tree huggers.

Nah...wolves are nothing like us..They kill their own food...we have someone else do it for us. except for hunters of course.

Well at one time or another we ALL had to hunt, somewhere along our lineage ;)

Three dogs and 15 minute, HA that's nothing...LOL I had a wolfdog MANY years ago and when I went into the hospital to have my first kid he ate the COUCH... literally... there was NO stuffing left AT ALL... I kept waiting for fluff to come out his nether ends.... heheheh. :eek:

You mean kinda like that lil Poly Ester critter that no one seems to be concerned is gonna be kilt off????

My pups are MacKenzie River Husky mutts. Nenana is on the OTHER highway from me.

I like Skeet's idea of turning some wolves loose in Central Park. I think that would be a nice wake up call to the tree-hugging eco-terrorists that want to save all the cute furry creatures while being ignorant of the implications of doing so.

While we do not have much, if any, of a wolf problem where I live, the coyotes are the real culprits out here. Many a pet and even vulnerable livestock have been taken by a 'yote, and there are too many cases of 'yotes attacking children and even adults. We do have a season for these buggers, and there is no bag limit. While I am unsure of the effectiveness of this 'management' practice, I am confident it has made some impact to manage these predators.

I do believe there should be some sort of season on wolves in those areas where they (the wolves) are throwing the ecosystem out of balance. And I strongly feel that the people who should make and govern those (hunting season) regulations should be from those areas. The people (read "politicians and any other anti-hunting and eco-terrorist special interest group") in D.C. and elsewhere are so far disconnected (particularly geographically) from Wyoming, Alaska, and any other area that is or may be impacted by the wolf-density problem, that they are the last people who should have any say in how wolf populations should be managed.

Ill try to post a pic of my wolf taken here... not sure how to post pics yet... i was calling coyoties...somewhere north of the usa, and he showed up with a attitude, so i adjusted it for him..lol

and coyotes are 10 times worse than wolfs....and house cats are much worse than coyotes....

verminate em all....wooooo hooooo
