wolves - your opinon?

[Angelus Gaston]

Nope-these were ordinary ranchers who were killing and murdering these wolves, the government did nothing. Rabbits R different. U eat the meat and use the pelt and bones but with wolves and other predators they only want the pelt, they ought to have their guns and their licenses taken from them. I hate it when they do that, I hate it and it makes me so angry and sad.

Ranchers then not hunters there is a difference dont mix up the two they have a reason if the wolves were threatening there livelyhood they have every right to protect there income.

I hate the thought of wolves being killed as well but if its taking someone's living then it needs to be done.

NO. Never think that, they could use so many things to scare away predators, why mindlessly kill these beautiful creatures? I love them and I'd always help one if I found one in need.

There is ways another way. They are making excuses to kill and murder, they could relocate the wolves or they could just DEAL WITH IT. The wolves were here first so there, anyone who thinks it is right to kill is wrong and shall remain wrong for eternity. I love wolves and I would die if it meant one lived.

Not everyone has the resources and time to trap a wolf, you know.

"Deal with it."
If your life depended on the livestock you owned, you would protect your livelihood.
Not everyone has a comfortable, easy life. Not everyone can "deal with it."

Then make the money to find ways to stop wolves, build fences have guard dogs. Don't tell me they can afford a farm and they don't have any sheepdogs? Don't tell me they don't have fences? Get real! They should love wolves-look at their dogs by their side, who's their ancestor? WOLVES!

Financial troubles can come at any time from anywhere.

And that's not even a valid point. I love reptiles, but I don't love dinosaurs.

They should be thankful. If there weren't wolves then the prey would die of their own two much and there would BE NO DOGS. No dogs for the disabled, blind, deaf p, diseased-the world would be in ruin! Wolves R the worlds greatest provider-I will keep with them till the end.

[Angelus Gaston]

Think we are dealing with a Wolfboo not a Wolf Lover there will be no getting through to them.

Being a Wolf Lover I understand the fact that a lot of times not every wolf can be saved for one reason or another. It hurts but there are enough Grey wolves in the world to stop the species being completely wiped out.

Wolves hold a very special place in my heart and bash me for agreeing but please do it over PM instead of on the boards.

Are you serious... Oh my goodness.

No. That's not how it works. Wolves are not the greatest provider. Dogs are not the only animals
that do good - so do rodents, cats, cows, snakes, birds... list goes on. :)

It is possible to respect a wild animal whilst hunting/protecting what's yours.

*Since this clearly isn't going anywhere (like most debates on this forum really), feel free to PM me
if you want to talk about wolf hunting. I'm more than happy to explain my reasoning to you.

If there never were wolves in the first place, everything would be just fine and we'd have some other animal in the same niche instead. I'm not sure why you think that would be an issue.

Guard dogs? Oh you mean like kangals or caucasian ovacharka, that will massacre anything that messes with their herd and would kill the wolf anyways like they're trained to do? I think being shot is a much more painless way to die than being ripped apart by a dog with a massive bite force. Anyways I would appreciate if you would stop being so overly aggressive and confrontational, or else you will risk getting this thread locked, and I'm pretty tired of threads getting locked.
