Well, big KUMBAYA!
LOL, what an idiot.
If an asteroid wipes us out, Kenny will say it did it to help out all the poor single-cell critters out there who are suffering under our brutal antibacterialocracy.

Those who live in urban areas, like Boise where I live, have all kinds of ordinances to contend with. ...so let's bring urban Boise to Yellowstone! Happy, happy, joy, joy.

Wolves are decimating populations of sheep, deer, moose, and elk and this guy’s big concern is pneumonia?

Well, it turns out that nature has taken its own course and most of the sheep were killed by wolves on Tuesday/Wednesday night. The Bozeman Daily Chronicle is reporting that 13 of William Hoppes sheep were killed and 7 are missing. The Chronicle reports that the remaining 3 sheep will be moved to Jardine which is still within bighorn sheep habitat. Hopefully these remaining sheep will be properly secured away from wolves, grizzlies, and bighorn sheep. Additionally, I hope that the 7 that are missing dont interact with bighorn sheep if they are still alive. Maybe the wolves will do us a service and kill them too. Well, maybe the wolves will do us an even greater service, and chomp down on some greenie weenies like the author.

So then the wolves helped the bighorn sheep by killing and eating their cousins. Is that what this is about???
Maybe Ken Cole could give the wolves the addresses of his cousins and they could help him accordingly.
Someone do him and us a favor and take away his laptop.

Ken Cole.....why, I remember Ken Cole. He was with that Chinese guy and they were sticking live eels up their ass. It didn’t work with Ken because his head was in the way.

IDK about some of these animals but one thing I am aware of is that the elk population had exploded, and they were destroying the natural habitat by overgrazing and riparian damage. The wolves have reduced the elk population and restored to a more natural balance.

The big horn’s on Pikes Peak are domesticated...
I scratched one behind the ears in the parking lot.
Like rats they are.

For those who have missed this lecture.
The reintroduction of wolves has nothing to do with regulating the ungulates (deer, elk, moose) or because, gosh, people just wanted to see wolves happily skipping and frolicking around wildflower studded meadows. Wolves were reintroduced by the liberals to destroy the ungulates. It is extremely hard for liberals to argue against hunting. Starving elk and blue-tongue deer are not good for anybody. Hunting acts to keep the ungulate population healthy. So, the only way to get rid of the hunting rifles is to get rid of the ungulates. We think gun control is checkers, and the liberals are playing chess.

I’m pretty sure domestic sheep have a better chance of picking up diseases and parasites from wild sheep than the other way around.

Not to make too fine a point of it, but this thread began with BS (That Wildlife News is a blog that ain’t much but a collection of environazis stroking egos, with the author of this bit of fluff at the center of the circle jerk) and seems to have attracted enough misinformation to qualify as More Crap Than I Get On My Boots Going Through A Feed Lot.
Just one damn time, I’d like to hear information about my home (I live a hundred miles north of Yellowstone) from somebody actually knows WTH goes on either at the park or the ranches that are around the place and are still trying to stay in operation with that flock of fools screwing up everything they touch.
...and then we get some flatlander who couldn’t find Yellowstone on a map unless you tacked it to his forehead and probably couldn’t decide which end of a cow to go to for milk (if he didn’t stumble over that little detail about gender) happily quoting some pap about the elk population.
Sheesh.
I’m going for a walk before I break this damn keyboard..
