Reposting my thoughts from another thread and additional info:
Wolves are misunderstood. By wolfaboos, that is. /engage on-topic rant (note: I'm talking about grey wolves)
- Wolves are not on the ESL (Endangered Species List), thus can and should be hunted in-season to ensure the population remains stable. A quick, clean shot to the head is lethal before the brain even registers pain. Unfortunately, other species are not faring as well. Shark fins still flood the black market, as well as rhino horns, turtleshell soup, ivory, and worse 'treasures', such as gorilla hands, bear gall bladders, and musk deers' musk glands.
- More on that note, wolf cubs are not around during hunting seasons, thus they aren't at risk for becoming "orphans" because 'da meen huntr killd der muthr'.
- There have been many cases of wolf attacks, and not all are because of rabies/defense/etc. with some resulting in one or more person(s) dead.
- If you accuse humans of 'hunting for luxury' or 'overhunting', then google "wolves surplus killing". Trolololo~
As someone else (on abeforementioned thread) said,
"Why do people assume just because someone loves wolves, they think the animal is an angel that does no wrong? (...) Honestly, I'm getting sick of people assuming wolf-lovers are shallow idiots who only care about that species."
This is because of the extremely skyrocketing population of wolfaboos, wolf lovers driven to the point of suggesting 'human holocausts' or actually stating they are wolves trapped in a human body, or "i ripd a huntrz gutz out w/ my glwin prple clwz". It is a face-palming, head-desking, braincell-killing fest of idiocy. They use txt language like it's understood worldwide. Note, though, not all wolf lovers are like this, thank god. No offense meant to anyone.
