Wolf kills mule

[redhen]

It's not about where anyone else chooses to live.  Those people and their families have been there for generations.  They make their living from the land.  You know like people used to.  The wolves are re introduced and not of the same 'strain' as the originals - hence invasive species.  This pack consists of known livestock killers - plain and simple they should be eliminated before more are spawned and before non livestock killers take up the practice.  Easy to judge from someplace else.

I will have to do research, but at one time, I've heard this several times on Discovery trype shows, and read it on the net, but there was a super aggressive strain of bear that would hunt man, it was/would hunt in packs. It was hunted into extinction, due to this, it would at some points in time kill whole villages. So, if we had the capacity, we should reintroduce this animal into our population?

The wolf is no different, yes, it used to be in the wild, but a different smaller strain as has been noted. The problem also is these wolves are showing no fear of man. I have not read this whole thread, only stumbled across it, but I received this in an email, these animals are dangerous and I do not feel they should be there. I feel that the people should have the right to protect themselves, these animals are not going after the sick, they in this article are going after MAN. The encircled a group of hunters. Who couldn't shoot them if they had a side arm as "they did not have a tag". They should have the RIGHT to shoot them to protect themselves!

So why don't the farmers just shoot them? Cause its illegal? Whoopie doo
I think it highly unlikely that you'd actually get caught..just keep your mouth shut..
Although I would really hate to kill one, I think they are so beautiful and majestic...I would not hesitate if they were on my property and my pets/livestock were in jeopardy...
It would be a non-issue for me...

There is info out there to support that they kill for MORE than just to eat.

This notion that the available habitat is the same as 150 year ago is ignorance. Wolves are nomadic roaming pack hunters and when ranchers and pet owners create an artificial food source the wolves are naturally going to take advantage of it regardless where you live they will hunt in the cities if they have to they do not fear man like a coyote.. Think about it the average person has no problem with wolves in the areas suitable for them and they should be entitled to exist there but the excess that become a problem should be dealt with also. This eutopian society mindset that we can live with wolves is ignorance surrounded by no experience or reason. The Feds have been doing this for years with the grizzly bears in the Yellowstone area and they are always killing them or transplanting them back into a saturated habitat to only recycle them.

Some hae said and keep saying "well you live in their area" then don't complain when we kill one. Truth is everyone of you would kill one if faced with that choice and had the means available, who do you think you are fooling?

Locking up or fencing your land from the predators is not practical nor feasible and if it were the group that turned them loose should foot the bill afterall that is what applies when your dog gets loose and kills your neighbors stock... except with the government. How many of you lock your chickens up 24/7?

X100 AGREE!

You obviously missed the point and the definition of an analogy... the point was people will do what they want or have to to protect their possessions from what they perceive as predators. What exactly is natural about a wolf killing an artificially provided animal? or putting them in fringe habitat areas that they may never had need to be there without domestic stock? get off the old lame "it is natural so it must be best" lie. Cancer is natural is it best? give me a break.

I tell you what why don't you show us all the nobility in giving up your private property first you know lead by example. Sound bites sound good but are far from reality just like someone living in suberbia setting policy for those in the country.

Hmm... Austin Texas how many wolves do you have there? not counting the zoo.

So far Duramaxgirl is the best witness we have here.

That has to be the absolute most far-fetched, outrageous and outlandish analogies I have ever heard. Not even a vaguely close comparison. Even a sexual predator knows his predation is not natural.....mind-blowing analogy there I tell ya what!

People who move to the boonies, claim they accept the consequences of said actions and then complain about them could have questionable intelligence.

Don't move next to the dump and complain about the smell and demand they close it down because it lowers your private property value. The emphasis being private it would seem in the video, as they claim the wolves violate their land, because the wolves have no fair claim to the land no matter how much longer they have been there than you.

Turn your dog out in wolf country see how long Fido makes it. Wolves will kill any canine that trespasses in thier area, bird dogs, hounds and pets. And they do not eat them unless they are hungry, that is a documented fact.

Wolves do not kill for the love of killing...that would be humans...how many people do you know that have mounts from animals that they enjoyed killing? Or pictures of themselves with animals that they killed? Wolves don't do that at all...they kill, eat, and move on...

Wow.

 

[duck&chickencrazy]

I don't see how that proves a wolf loves killing...it's pretty much the wolf protecting their territory from a potential threat and so they would eliminate that threat...just as your pet dog would attack or feel threatened by another dog if it came into "his" yard...
