Who else thanks reintroducing the wolves was a bad mistake?

Question

I think that the people wanting to do this has their facts WRONG!!! What a mess we have going on in Yellowstone Park and also the rest of Montana since they have brought back the wolves. Time for open season on the wolves and animal rights activist.

Answer 1

Yes it was a mistake. The people who brought wolves back to Yellowstone don't have to live there. They saw too many Disney movies and don't know what nature's really all about, and care more about the damned wolves than people. Here in Virginia we have been seeing mountain lions recently. I saw one myself. Many of us believe the government put them here secretly in some twisted liberal biodiversity scheme. Now I carry a Glock 10mm when I'm outside in case one of their precious kitties gets hungry.
I built a chain link cage trap next to the fence around my chicken area and will call every reporter within 100 miles when I catch a lion. Since wolves look a little like coyotes, it would be easy to mistake one for a coyote and accidentally shoot it.What a shame, but I would probably make that mistake myself and I have a shovel and a few rifles...
John Audubon, the man the Audubon Society is named for, recorded an attack by a pack of wolves that killed and ate a black man and wounded another black man. Maybe those who say wolves don't eat people are racists...

Answer 2

They did that in Wisconsin. I actually had one stalking my children a few years back during Easter, and it creeped me out to no end. Yellowstone is one thing, where there are not too many livestock areas around, but up here it has not been good.

If you're concerned about attacks on humans, there has only been one recorded wolf attack resulting in a human fatality. Kenneth Carnegie, in Canada. Like I said though, they stalked my kids and have stalked loggers in our area up there, and the DNR won't do anything unless there's an 'issue'. Well, most of the people I know that spend any time in the woods, now carry a handgun to make sure no issues occur and F the DNR.

Answer 3

What London organic international to reintroduce... Hmmm. Ah specific. i might choose for to confirm the lions at Piccadilly Circus. =] That'd be a coach to stop the site visitors... yet go away damaging Mr Dickens the place he's. If we exhume and reanimate him, somebody will might desire to tell him that the BBC gave Bleak abode a happy ending... Love from a Londoner born and bred. =D

Answer 4

Of course. It was a stupid lame brained idea to start with. Idiots that push for stuff like don't THINK about any consequences like ranchers loosing part of a herd, decimating other wild populations by predatory wolves, starvation because of depleted food supplies, etc. Animal rights activists should be ignored and/or hunted down. Their priorities are screwed up.

Answer 5

I'm glad they reintroduced them, it may take awhile for any semblence of a natural balance to work itself out but in the long run it's a good idea. Would you have a problem with the bison finally making a true comeback?
D58 is right on the money.
Wolves are the greatest hunters in lower North America and they deserve our respect. I would like to see their numbers rebound enough for there to be a season on them like with bear. I'd try the meat.

Answer 6

I feel the biggest obstacle the wolves have to face is mans fear of them, thanks to the wives tells, old camp fire stories and Hollywood and their depicting as evil killers of man woman and child.
I am a hunter that also deals with predators in the field of Nuisance Wildlife Control as a subcontractor for the states Department of Wildlife in which I reside.
I have responded to several alleged wolf problems only to find that the damage inflicted was done by feral dogs not wolves.
The wild Wolf don’t like people so they don’t wont to be near you, at all.
In North America their has never been a documented human death by wolves.
The only wolf attack documented was when a young man tried to crawl in to a wolf den to steal a pup for him self.
Momma wolf was not to happy and discouraged him quickly.
Then up on reporting it as a “wolf attack” when the individual confessed to trying to capture a wolf pup he got fined for his illegal actions also.

Wolves fear man where as feral dogs do not.
Most people could not tell the deference between feral dogs and wolves.

I also raise wolves legally and when I take one out for a walk in public I am amazed by all the people who come up to my wolves and kneel down to love on them and say what a beautiful dog I have.
When I explain that the animal they are loving on is not a dog! But in fact a pure blood wolf the women young and old ask if they can take it for a walk to show their friends.
I do get the occasional, “is he safe” all the while they are kneeled down loving on them.
And from experience don’t take a wolf pup in to public, you will be the better part of a hour getting the pup away from the women so you can go on your way.

The feral dog population in the wilds far out number the wolf, and if you are being followed or stalked it is most likely a feral dog with a bad attitude.
The feral dog will attack humans quite often.

Now mountain Lions, Bears and Feral dogs you may wont to be more concerned about for each of these species has in the past hunted and killed man.

Wolves, well you leave them alone they will leave you alone, that’s my experience.

There my two cents on the subject, now the less educated can give me the thumbs down.

Thank you Abdul I needed a good tear jerking laugh and you supplied it!

Answer 7

I believe in the long run it was a good idea. This way they will reproduce at a high rate and their numbers will become to much to control. Then the government will relize they made a mistake and put them on the varmint list for hunters. So it is a good idea because I will get to hunt them legaly really really soon. That is good news for the varmint hunters.

Answer 8

idunno man. wolves tend to stay away from people and hunt their own prey. very few cattle are taken by wolves and if they are the ranchers are compensated. i don't think open season on wolves is such a great idea yet. there aren't enough of em. and personally i couldn't kill a wolf or any member of the canine's unless if it attacked me. i think that wolves might be a good solution to CWD. there aren't enough natural predators and there aren't enough people that go hunting.

Answer 9

I don't think anybody could have put it more eloquently than D58.
Very educated, unbiased and thought provoking.
Good job!

Godspeed
