wolves - your opinon?

[spencer]

yeah, I understand that heaps of ppl are talking bout their opinions and this thread is for opinions

Yes, and what's wrong with that? You've stated your opinion and other people are doing so as well.

I'm not really a fan of hunting, even if it's to control overpopulation because you're basically picking out the wolves who get to live and those who don't. Seems kinda unfair to me.
So, how are the wolves picked out, those who get killed? Do they only kill the sick and weak ones?

Wolves are the ones that keep other animal populations in check!!! They feed one the weak and sick and old, they also make sure that the herbivores that they hunt don't eat all the vegetation in that area that they are in. And I see y'all's points. I mean vultures are going extinct too, but a lot of people aren't stressing about that even though they should be!!! All animals that are endangered should be a priority to help get put back on track to not being endangered. Wolves are majestic creatures that live in the forests that are being cut down to make room for more houses and such. Sharks are also going extinct, and people aren't stressing about them either. I think what makes teens go wolf crazy is twilight, and how wolves howl. I mean not a lot of other animals can make beautiful music like wolves can with their howls! And wolves are the ancestors of dogs.

Honestly, no offense, but I see nothing wrong with hunting wolves. Let's say a wolf came onto your farm, and it started mauling your sheep/cattle/whatever livestock you have. You can't just stand there and watch them maul your wolves like "LOL WOLVES KILLIN MY HARD WORKED FOR LIVESTOCK LOL."
You have the right to shoot them, since one loss of life is much better than 50 lives. Wolves can reproduce, y'know. You also have the right since they're on your land, attacking your property.
So please, don't feel sorry that we have to defend ourselves. I agree that hunting is bad, but we can make synthetic fur. We're still going to have to kill some animals to protect ourselves, guys. It's been like that for millions of years, no need to let wolves overrun the forest and make other animals go extinct.

I have no problem with hunting wolves in moderation, or if you need to (for food, or as scyther2004 said, if they're causing damage to your property). I really have no problem with hunting in general, even trophy hunting (I'd actually love to have a taxidermy wolf head), as long as it's not overdone. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love animals (and wolves are probably my favorite). I obviously would hate if a species (or the species population in the area) was damaged as a whole for what humans have done.

I have just about no problems with hunting wolves, just as long as it's not torture\significantly affecting the wolves' population.
Wolves are beautiful creatures, and even though they do kill off other species such as elk, hey, that's just nature. Of course, none of us would want the elk to overrun the forest, eating all the vegetation and leaving nothing for other species.

there just has to be balance and I find nothing wrong with humans intermingling in that balance.

My opinion on wolves is that they are very nice and majestic creatures. I believe that wolves shouldn't be hunted after all they are just misunderstood.

I never seen wolf, but I love them. Mostly arctic wolves, they're pure white and well blended in snow.
