Wolves were reintroduced into the mountain grazing lands of AZ a few years back. Amazingly they seemed to attract high power rifle bullets.

No argument there. I do think that a government stupid enough to play with ecology like this ought to pony up when it goes wrong. The problem is that it's using my money to do that.

I have certain neighbors whose cash crop is a herd of bison. No kidding. If I were a wolf I'd be looking for an easier meal... ;-)

U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy of Montana restored the predator’s endangered status last summer.

SSS may work, but it would be even better if Judge Donald Molloy ...

They kill just for the sake of killing.

"I want to know when a HUMAN has been killed by a wolf."

If you REALLY want to know, why then, you'll look it up.

Better yet, why don't you prove to us that it doesn't happen?

>> Wolves move into an elk rich region ... [this] sustains wolves for 2-3 years ...[then] the prey base is reduced 90 percent and the wolves begin to move elsewhere ...

Sounds good to me - anyone know where I can rent some for our 19 acres in Colorado? Courtesy these dumba$$ creatures, I’m under constant “honey, go fix the fences” pressure.

I’m betting that when a rancher drops a wolf with a well-placed projectile, he doesn’t call up Fish & Game and turn himself in...

That was just the beginning of the SI article. It’s a long piece and towards the end a man is killed and partially eaten.

It’s only a matter of time before a human tragedy happens.

Agree, and the ones who have been around humans before are the most dangerous either fed by humans or garbage dumps.

Bingo! It’s called: Shoot, Shovel, and STFU.

In 1942, Michael Dusiak, section foreman for the Canadian Pacific Railway, was attacked by a wolf while patrolling a section of track on a speeder ...

This is but one example from British Colombia. Wolves overran Vancouver Island in the 1980s. Attacks became so common that articles were published in Canadian magazines documenting such attacks...

Wolf Attacks on humans have occurred in national parks, too. In August 1987, a sixteen-year-old girl was bitten by a wild wolf in Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario...

NOTE: This list of wolf attacks is by no means exhaustive. They are simply listed to show that attacks have occurred both in the wild and other settings.

A popular TX solution is to run donkeys with your bovines - coyotes and wolves are terrorized by them.

My hybrid was absolutely terrified of my neighbors’ horses.

These wolves are competing with you for food, and you appear to be on the side of the wolf.

What gives?

It was a few days after the two were chased back to their compound that another guy left for a walk along the lake and the people that found his remains that night of his walk figured he was attacked by at least two wolves and when he tried to make it back they hamstrung him and killed him. I doubt he tried to pet them. :)

Thanks for the links on wolf kills, George. Looks like LFM is no longer interested in the conversation.

I just love the wolf lovers. Domesticated dogs attack humans. Wild dogs attack humans. Feral dogs attack humans. The big cats attack humans. Bears attack humans. Hyenas attack humans. Predators around the world attack humans, yet they repeatedly try to tell us that wolves never do. Sheer idiocy.

Pity, though, it would be nice if we could train/bioengineer them to not attack humans. Then we could reintroduce them in suburbia and start ravaging the darn road crossing deer. *g*

In Alaska, wolves had just about decimated the caribou herds. Many Alaskans, especially natives in the more remote villages, depend on caribou to feed their families.

So the game and wildlife dept. implemented a wolf control program which included hunting them from the air.

The idiotarian Palin-haters have blog posts up all over the leftosphere calling Gov. Palin as a bloodthirsty maniac who kills warm and furry animals just for fun. Some even portray her as shooting them from the open door of a Huey, ‘Nam-style. (Whan wolves are hunted from the air, they actually use fixed-wing aircraft).

These people are stuck on stupid and full of hate, a combination which is troubling.
