[Behind Liberal Lines]

I agree. I have no problem with deer, bear or cougar hunting, or hunting anything else, but shooting coyotes or wolves is too much like shooting dogs and I love dogs.

However, Wolves and/or Coyotes don't feel the same way. THey have no compunction about coming into your yard and killing your domestic dog.

SHEESE!!!
I said I wouldn't like to shoot a wolf or coyote, they look too much like dogs. I like dogs and I stand by my statement.
But if I had to shoot anything to protect myself, my family, my pets or stock or anyone else's I would.

There ARE areas in the east which are sufficiently remote that could support a wolf pack. If I lived in one of those areas, I would not try to raise livestock there, I'd keep the right kind of dog, or not let it run loose without myself and rifle around, and I'd just enjoy having them there.
