"I'm not a liberal...i'd like to suggest a correction...flame away."No flame,and i don't think your a liberal.I believe the article said wolves had been seen in populated areas.That's not good for people or wolves.Remember,wolves are formidable predators and very(!)opprotunistic.If they lose their fear of humans that could be a problem.Unfortunately wild animals(sometimes)forget the boundries and(like it or not)have to be dealt with.Remember the women killed by gators here in Fl?
Wolves wandering into suburbs is bad for everyone. Yet the wolves deserve to live. They are God's creatures, too.
Regardless, I think this nation's efforts and priorities ought to be focused on training and supplying our formidable military, intelligence and national security. Without an ongoing prioritization of securing our democratic and free society, we can forget the environment, the wolves and everything else.
I think Republicans need to remember to be good shepherds to all off God's creation as best we can. I don't think it is a good thing to leave our children a nation where they will only be able to see a wolf on a computer screen.
