wolves - your opinon?

Just because some may hunt wolves doesn't mean they don't like them. I love tigers but if they became overpopulated i would hunt them.

Grey wolves are listed as not threatened and not endangered.

Mexican grey wolves are listed as endangered and threatened.
Artic wolves are also listed as endangered and threatened.

Grey wolves are over populated in many areas of the the three species the one we speak of is the first of them not the other two as it's currently not legal to hunt the mexican grey or artic wolves. well erm in some places it's legal for grey wolf to be hunted but again those places do hunting seasons for them. Some don't do anything with em.

Red wolves are tricky subject on one hand they are endangered on the other some say they coyote wolf hybrids but i'm not sure what they are to specific or even if they are still considered subspecies.

People who think their husky mix is automatically a wolf mix... Its annoying but it's funny.

Okay after reading the 15 or so pages I needed to catch up on, tbh I think thread should be closed. It is literally just wolfaboos vs. not wolfaboos. No one is going to agree on really anything and all this is doing is causing a lot of drama. It isn't even really a debate anymore, more like name calling and snide remarks.

I think way too many people keep forgetting that there is more than the grey wolf and that the grey wolf itself is also split depending on where it was located. I also think the anti-hunting anything and everything honestly do not realize that without population control many animals can destroy themselves. We have coyotes, loads of black bears, cougars and bobcats here but if we do not have population control hunting for deer they will eat themselves out of house and home. It has happened before, which is why we need to hunt because sometimes animals can't do it themselves even if you've an abundance of predators.
There is a huge difference between canned hunting, poaching and actual hunting. I wish people would understand this.

And to people who say that we are the only animals that hunt for sport and just to kill. Uh, have you ever once researched the amount of predators that hunt for fun? Wolves will kill livestock just for the sake of killing, as do many other animals that hunt.

personally, living on a farm in Wisconsin I have done a LOT of coyote hunting growing up. There are a ton of them out here and I don't see any problem with hunting them. Mostly to save the calves and horses. Like last year they took the wolves of the endangered species list and some tags were given out and when people were hunting the wolves here I thought it was really cool. My "second father" got a tag and he took me with him when he went trapping and the whole ordeal was very cool. I think that there is absolutely nothing wrong with hunting. Wolves will kill just to kill, they won't even eat the animal. I think hunting them would do the state a bit of good.

Wait, I'm confused.. So they gave out tags for *endangered* species? Please clarify.

[Kleinkat]

I think they meant they were taken off the list.

[the dreamer.]

no, they were taken off the list and then tags were given out. When a certain area of the state had too many wolf tags filled they didn't allow the trapping/hunting in that area anymore.

hope this clarifies, sorry to confuse.

Yes, that makes more sense! I think you had a typo and that's what confused me: "the wolves of the endangered species list" I'm assuming was meant to be "the wolves off the endangered species list." Sorry!
