Are you saying you don’t think that wolves should be in Yellowstone?

I should think giant, beautiful Yellowstone should be allowed to have all its original species.

I read that something like there has never been a confirmed human killing by a wolf in North America.

Pay the ranchers what’s proper, but make Yellowstone as gloriously natural as we can.

“Yellowstone should be allowed to have all its original species.”

These are Canadian wolves that often are twice the size, weight, and strength of American wolves.

Myrddin knows the sizes better than me.

Should predators also be introduced from Africa, Asia...?

Never a confirmed human killing by a wolf in North America ?

Do a search as I will send you a few also.

“Pay the ranchers what’s proper, but make Yellowstone as gloriously natural as we can.”

I tell you what you need to do, quit your current job and become a REAL naturalist.

You can volunteer (or get paid) to be the bait, can wander into the wilderness on the privately owned property where REAL people have to deal with the fantasies of those who want to see the Garden of Eden exist in today’s world.

Most people like you have only seen wildlife from a distance, on a Discovery Channel documentary or the Animal Channel.

We have lots of public land set aside for animals. Yellowstone is one of them, although we do have a tourist industry close by that creates lots of jobs and sustains life for humans. If you want some REAL nature, wander back into the millions of acres in GRIZZLY territory, instead of sitting in your car.

You’ll get to see some “original” species, probably more than you care to. Try having a sporpion crawl across your face (I have). There is a place for wildlife preservation (and we have more public land for this than since the 1800s) and it’s a good thing.

But it’s so easy for those who don’t know what the *** they are talking about, don’t have to deal with it, to be so . . . enlightened about these things.

The father of an Ontario man killed in a wolf attack in northern Saskatchewan says it’s a relief to finally have the truth come out.

A coroner’s jury in Prince Albert ruled Thursday that wolves killed Kenton Carnegie in November 2005.

The 22-year-old University of Waterloo engineering student had been on a work-term ...

An expert, who prepared a report for the coroner’s office, said it was more likely a bear killed Carnegie. But in the end, the jury dismissed that notion, declaring it a wolf attack.

“Kenton was an honest man,” he said. “His life was honest, we didn’t want his life to be dishonest. We wanted the truth of his death to be made public.”

Did you read the article?

The nearly 60,000-acre ranch, which includes deeded land and Forest Service allotments, is located

That's not Yellowstone, it's a private ranch where they try to make a living.

Might I suggest doing a google search before posting?

Only Disney movies claim that wolves have never killed anyone in America. But Disney is mere HollyWeird, and the real world has examples of predators like wolves, bear, and cougar attacking, killing, and eating humans.

Allowing Americans to be armed when on all state and federal lands would rapidly return us to the pre-enviroMental era when predators knew their place on hte food cahin.

Since you probably are unfamiliar with man’s place on the food chain, he is the top predator WHEN ARMED.

When man is not armed, man is food for predators.
