well excuse me Chaz you really need to get the facts straight about the wolves. they only kill pets when they them selves a dieing and or afraid of something and to my point it is peoples fault that they go out and shoot the wolves when the wolves are simply minding their own business…and how sad is it that you really did not know this information at all! and by the way THANKS ANIMALS RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS FOR PROTECTING THE WOLVES. Go New jersey and the WORLD Wildlife FOUNDATION.

Will you all shut up! You have no idea what you are talking about. People from Wyoming don’t just go out and shot wolves for fun! They come to us and harm US!! How would you feel if you woke up to a wolf killing your pets! Grow up!!! Go Wyoming!

It’s not “part of the system” to kill for fun. That’s not natural at all.

And “kill or be killed” doesn’t really apply to wolves, they aren’t known for causing many human fatalities at all. Far more are caused by hunting accidents.

Livestock are taken because in most cases it is easier than hunting wild prey. Guard your livestock, protect it in some way (electic fence? Guarding dogs? Putting then inside at night?) and it becomes harder to take than wild prey, most wolves will then leave it alone.

The wolf is a beautiful animal that should be admired and respected, not feared and hated.

What about all the money sportsmen and women have been contributing to wildlife protection and restoration for years, just to feed introduced gray wolves. Get over the money issues, this is just politics, and if the feds could be 100% truthful about intentions and numbers and closures, etc. it might actually work, without all the turmoil. Bottomline the wild is not disney nor should it be! And humans are part of the system – kill or be killed, eat or be eaten!!!!

When you have all lived and ranched in Wyoming you can talk about how horrible it is too shoot the animals that steal your livelyhoods from your own backyards.

I remember sitting on a bus one day on the way home from building a gas plant in Kemmerer Wyoming. A young man in the seat behind me was bragging about slaughtering a herd of deer with a semi automatic weapon at close range. That was twenty six years ago. Times change but emotional retards with guns are still allowed to thrill kill gods creatures. I’m sure Dick Cheney and his buds will enjoy shooting wolves from airplanes. How many deferments did that sick bastard get ? 5.

What did you expect? Introducing wolves in the Greater Yellowstone Area was a bone-headed idea.

First, there are more people in the area than the early 1900s. Hence a higher probability of wolf conflict.

Second, the wolf they introduced is a more aggressive species that was not indigenous to the area. The original species pretty much roamed in pairs and not packs of 8 wolves and higher.

Finally, with the same wolf population and a more aggressive species there was bound to be more wolf/livestock conflicts.

People who pushed introducing the Timber Wolf are the only ones to blame for the wolf bloodshed.

Poorly conceived ideas beget disappointing results. Duh….
