The Gov't is reintroducing the wolf in areas it deems acceptable it is not "destroying" the wolf... Uh No Stoic... have to vehemently disagree w/you here... as there has been aerial shooting/killing of hundreds of wolves over the last few years... diminishing their numbers greatly... and as you say... "The Gov't. ... deems acceptable..." That's exactly what I'm talking about... why should the Gov't. be in control of the wolf population...? And the answer is... the "venerable" ranchers will not vote Gov. officials into office unless they kowtow to their whining about wolves slaughtering their cattle... when it's common knowledge that wolves NEVER overkill and only kill what their pack needs to survive on... ![Whisper [:-*]](/emoticons/emotion-17.gif)
So, let's see... a few head of cattle vs. hundreds of dead wolves... a natural balance...? I think not... wolves are highly intelligent, loving and dedicated animals who can easily co-exist w/in an environment of domestic livestock... and they would not decimate a herd to the point of huge losses... It's just once again, powerful men's desire to control anything and everything to their satisfaction... and I would absolutely love to place all of the men involved in this destruction of wolf packs in the same fields of wilderness and hunt them down mercilessly until they're all dead... ![Angry [:@]](/emoticons/emotion-12.gif)
So... thanks to the rest of you for sharing the meaning of your screen name... and Mopigeon as I messaged you... I am deeply sorry for your incredible loss and can only hope that time will heal you even if just in a small way...
