MARC MURRELL/SPECIAL TO THE CAPITAL-JOURNAL

The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation is calling out the Defenders of Wildlife, Western Wildlife Conservancy and others for using their data to erroneously state that elk populations have actually flourished since wolf reintroductions began in the mid-1990s. That statement is true, but only in areas of the Rocky Mountains where wolves aren't present, the RMEF contends.

The elk population in the northern Yellowstone area has declined from more than 17,000 animals to just over 7,000 animals since the wolf restoration project began in the mid-1990s.

I’d love to have wolves introduced here (Cape Cod and MA) they could take care of the deer, coyote, squirrel, and overabundance of retirees around here. Besides wolves are friendlier than your average democrat around here.

I went to the Seacrest Wolf Sanctuary for a tour last Saturday. I learned a lot. For example, when wolves kill bison and elk, it’s part of the “great circle of life”. When hunters kill bison or elk, it’s “the wanton distruction of our natural resources.”

“It really comes down to this: My conservative political philosophy does not threaten or affect the freedom of liberals. I don’t ask them to sacrifice anything for me, but they DEMAND I sacrifice for them”

where do we send the bill for what it costs to make the librul do-gooders feel good....
