Wolves were part of the eco system. Deer and other creatures were culled by wolves. Now we have overpopulations of deer.
I understand ranchers hate wolves, but ranching was never part of the eco system.
“I understand ranchers hate wolves, but ranching was never part of the eco system.”
Where do you think your hamburger comes from? Are you willing to pay higher prices to reimburse ranchers for the cattle they lose to wolves?
Romanticize these creatures all you want. They’re killers and if they come onto a ranch and into proximity with humans then they’re not coming around to be cuddly.
Our rule around here is that if we see a wolf or coyote loping through at a decent pace we’ll leave it alone. But if it stands still and looks our direction it gets shot.
Because if you don’t shoot it you’ll eventually wish you had.
You want wolves killing deer in the suburbs?
but ranching was never part of the eco system.
It is now.
