OK-After plenty of research and after reading a couple of books on Yellowstone wolves I'm starting to come around a wee bit to the hunters/ranchers side of this issue. I still don't see where a couple of packs in Wa. would be the end of the world though. Pretty much comes down to a numbers thing. When the packs get too big they start killing more then they need just because they don't know what the rest of the pack is doing so they end up with three kills when they only needed one. Enough to send the hunters off a cliff! Plenty to worry about with the couple of packs we already have, no need to make up stuff....................
And this state is in the process of setting up 14 new colonies of wolves . Can you say idiots?
Really? They using black helicopters to set up these colonies? Crab endorsement card paying for it? Four in Yellowstone wasn't enough eh? Wa. going all out with 14?
Love to see a source on this as I keep a pretty close eye on this issue and haven't seen or heard anything other then trying (albeit lamely) to manage what we know is already naturally expanding into Wa.
