"It's a rite of passage, dictated by nature. Just keep your dachsunds and toddlers out of the way."

To hell with the Wolve's "rites". My kids and my dogs have "rights" also. The first "right" is the right to safety when they're on my private property.

We're in a crisis up here, though it may seem to be unimportant to the ignorant Urbanites in Lansing. I have a serious concern about the safety of toddlers being safe in their own backyards.

These wolves learned early on (during the early 20th century) to avoid humans like the plague for one simple reason: they were shot on sight. They are not being shot on sight now, and they have become emboldened.

I seriously hope that the first parents who lose a child to a wolf get rich on a lawsuit filed against the State of Michigan for negligence in administering their department.

Our ancestors eradicated wolves for a damn good reason; they cannot co-exist with humans to a reasonable degree.

I love Michigan's outdoors, and I am a conservationist, but the wolves are out of control and need to be dealt with.

We have that same problem in Louisiana, and I believe in Florida, with alligators. They became a protected species. Now, they are everywhere and are a serious problem.

As for the wolves, there is basis of truth in ancient tales for stories like little red riding hood, and the many werewolf myths; wolves are dangerous to everything in their path, including humans.

Form up, arm up, then go out and kill all the wolves despite who doesn't like it. If they INSIST that you live your lives in mortal fear stick a 12ga. under their noses.

Maybe they'll start waking up with the wolves swim Lake Michigan or Huron and eventually make their way to the Lansing or Detroit burbs. Coyotes are now in the City of Detroit. Are wolves next?

Agreed.
