[Haaaze]

I, Tunnel Rat, will dedicate myself to helping wolves have a better future. I swear to give my all in protecting these beautiful creatures, and will help in anyway I can.


I support GRAY wolf hunting, as long as it's for controlling the population. :3

Sense you support gray wolf hunting, it doesn't control it's population. where I live, (Washington) we don't have any gray wolves that I know of. The only place to see them is in Wolf Haven. And every wolf that someone killed, could be put in Washington State to repopulate. (not to offend you)

You do have a good point.
But it costs quite a bit of money to relocate [not to mention it's very stressful for the animal], and relocating many wolves might be kind of hard, especially if grey wolves aren't the very type that was first where you live. [It'd be more introducing rather than reintroducing, which in some cases is necicary and not bad at all.]
And, sometimes urgent population controol is needed.
Although I do see what you mean, and people should spare some wolves to spread to other places where they don't exist any more.

A long long time ago, all the grey wolves were hunted out of the usa. And that was 'to keep tbe population down' but its almost hunted grey wolvss to extinction. I don't want that to happen again.

People didn't realise how important wolves were to the ecosystem, and farmers/ranchers saw them as competition, and killed as many of them off as possible, but they were not all killed off in the USA.

It won't happen again.

Not every wolf in the US. Where did you get that info from?
Hunters shot all they could, many because they couldn't care less about 'preserving the species'.

It won't happen again, hunting is now regulated and humane, hunters can
only kill a certain number of wolves.

You do realize grey wolves are currently least concern for their extinction risk?
Honestly, we should be concerned about endangered wolves right now. Protect all wolves from extinction, but focus on endangered wolves.

You can't try to cook two raw chickens, a thawed one and a frozen one, at the same temperature and then expect them to both come out ready to eat.
(bad analogy, sorry :p)

Thank you for elaborating on my point.

[sidereus]

Sorry Zarago. I started writing before you posted, but finished after you. .n.
Agreed with your whole post.

It wasn't sarcasm, in case you were wondering. I do mean thank you.

Agreed with you and Zarago. ^^
I live in the US, and wolves are getting populated here, the deer numbers are dropping low.
