With all due respect I am sorry that this guy's dogs were attacked HOWEVER this could have easily been a bear or mountain lion. They were treeing sows and were obviously in the wilderness where wild animals are and belong. Bears and mountain lions can be just as dangerous to humans and livestock, should we eradicate them too? This article reads like some hero story out of Boy's life magazine.
I am all for destroying wolves and other animals that attack humans and livestock but it is absurd to whine about dangerous encounters with wild animals when you are in their element. Carry a pistol or rifle and take care of the problem if one arises but otherwise enjoy the wildlife and remember that the wilderness is their world.
Some of us who have grown up in and lived in heavily wooded rural areas consider it our world."
