Gray wolves are not wanted by most hunters they only kill for sport and need to lower their numbers unlike the native timberwolf in montana who got wiped out they only kill for fun not for food so i say get ridd of them

hi im from wales in the uk, ive had a special affinity for these beautifull animals for all y life! never seen one live but plan to visit canada next year! we really must ensure this animal survives, everything we kill and persecute will be to our detrement! the wolf is our brother as is mother earth and father sky! and brad as i respect your opinion i believe its man who has to go away! the indians lived with the wolves and survived that was until the introduction of european man the great white hunter! mans reign on this earth is allmost over cherish what we have before its too late!

[...] Idaho’s state government a few bucks. The program obviously has some folks in a lather, as history shows that rapacious hunting was responsible for the gray wolf’s longtime residency on the [...]

I am a sportsman who lives in Idaho and I have to admit that I felt the reintroduction of the wolf was unnessisary. I signed every anti-wolf paper that was placed in front of me, and I believed every thing that was told to me by my “friends” concerning how the wolves need to go away. It wasnt until I started to look into the issues myself that I started to have an understanding as to why they were being brought back. I can tell you all about why, but that will not do any good as it would only create more ignorance. Study it for yourselves. But do not look to the standard sources (ie defenders of wildlife, or Outdoor Life magazine) because they may have some of the facts, but they let emotion in with the facts to influence the opinions of the readers. The unbias data that comes from the biologists is the only place to find all of the facts. Doug Smith in Yellowstone National Park is a good place to start.
Once you have an understanding of these animals then you can share your knowledge. Have your opinions, but base those opinions on the facts.
Dont call me pro wolf, but I am pro wolf hunting. And it is not because I hate them, It is because I have sought out the facts, and I do respect them as an important roll player in the ecosystem.

I’m sorry, but I don’t know if I feel comfortable letting people like you “deal with the wolfs best [you] know how” if you can’t even write a simple comment intelligently. It is people like you that aid in the misunderstanding of such beautiful creatures.

People who kill wolves are lupifobic the people who hate wolves that posted here are stupid and should hide under rocks and die. 10 years I’ve been around wolves and they don’t harm anyone unless you prevoke them
the Ranchers and such want people to hate them because they are greedy!
My family has ranched some generations and we only had problems with coyotes
as to Randy I have the impression you are from the city because wolves that attack children from backyards have serious problems
A mountain lion or bear possibly but a wolf?
NO! ya know what? No! Just no!
Bad case of Lupiphobia there!
as to Refugio Gonzalez thank you your post is one of the most sensible! It speeks volumes

Most of you must be from the city and went to a art store seen a picture of the majestic wolf bought it and think its wonderful, well when it gets to the point that our kids can’t play in the back yard without a parent watching over them with a high power rifle because wolf packs are in the area were we live tell you what you deal with the drug dealers and rapist best you know how and we will deal with the wolfs best we know how.
