Re: Please Help The Wolves!!!!
Quote:
well no wonder your no wolf fan if your involved in the hunting industry ![]() the scientists in the yellowstone region have found that bringing back the apex predator has brought a balance back to the eco system, bears, eagles, red fox even the aspen forests are recovering & coyote numbers are down all because the wolf is back where it belongs! ranchers are reimbursed for wolf kills & can shoot wolves that kill livestock but you cant persecute a whole species because of individual wolf killings, ranchers should learn to live alongside predators instead of wiping them out! sorry but i dont think youv read all the facts, how can you not believe theyre endangered? theres about 1,500 wolves in the whole of that region so of course theyre endangered! the wolf permits are not well studied! all scientific evidence has said numbers are too low to warrent hunting, genetic viability will be lost and the wolves will eventually die out!i think its you who need to look at the FACTS! last year when ESA protection was removed by the government it was taken to court & the judge took a long time to study the evidence of over 200 independant scientists who stated the wolf should not be delisted until numbers were high enough to avoid a genetic bottleneck, the judge quite rightly reinstated ESA protection! ![]() Last edited by noushka05; 15-09-2009 at 11:23 AM. |

Re: Please Help The Wolves!!!!
Sarah Palin is from Alaska. Things are viewed a lot differently in areas where we actually live near and deal with wolves and other animals. It's pretty easy to sit over there in the UK and talk down on all these "bloodthirsty American hunters".
I'm sorry, I will look more into the facts of the wolf populations in THAT area, I am speaking for MY area, where wolves are nowhere near to endangered. I do NOT have a problem with wolves, they are an incredibly beautiful animal and I do love them, even though we HAVE had horses killed or critically injured by wolves (I understand that this is natural)... but when their populations reach numbers that begin to decimate our moose/caribou/sheep populations, then I am all for wolf control of some kind. Just because I am involved in the hunting industry does not make me a heartless animal killer. It's a part of our lifestyle and our livelihood, as it is for many, many people in parts of Canada and the States. However, I won't be posting in this topic anymore. I should have realized from the beginning that it was pointless. |

thanks for not posting on here anymore thoand by they way the ungulates of that region are healthy once again because of the wolfs reintroduction! unlike hunters wolves mainly kill the old & the weak & this has also been proven by scientists analysing the bones & teeth of the wolves prey, theres such a lot of anti wolf propaganda by hunters & ranchers its a wonder theres any wolves left at all! |

Or is it just that humans want to be the only species with the right to be predators? |

vigil for the wolves...
By JON DUVAL Express Staff Writer Just over two weeks after wolf hunting season opened in parts of Idaho, opponents to the hunt will hold a vigil in Ketchum. It will take place in Ketchum Town Plaza on Thursday, Sept. 17, at 4:30 p.m. Karen McCall, who with Eloise Christensen is organizing the vigil, asked residents of the Wood River Valley to attend to show support for the environmental groups engaged in a legal battle with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The latter's decision to remove wolves in the northern Rockies from protection under the federal Endangered Species Act is being challenged in court by Earthjustice, a law firm representing numerous conservation and wildlife groups. "It is our turn to speak for wolves, to stop killing and to teach coexistence," McCall said in a news release. Wolf hunting in Idaho began Sept. 1 in two of the 12 wolf zones throughout the state. To date, four wolves have been killed, including one in the Sawtooth zone, two in the Lolo zone in north-central Idaho and one illegally killed in the McCall-Weiser zone, which is not open for wolf hunting until Oct. 1. The hunt in Idaho allows up to 220 wolves to be legally killed by hunters and another 35 to be taken by the Nez Perce tribe. Seventy-five wolves can be legally shot in Montana, where the wolf season opened Tuesday. there are only 500 wolves in hostile wolf hating Montana as it is ![]() |
