They also cost about $3000 a piece. :)
“Tons of money and hundreds of thousands of hours of labor were required to eradicate the damned wolves in the first place.
Now these idiots want to undo all that good work.”
Wolves are dogs and dogs are wolves. There are probably more wolves living in people’s homes these days than ever lived in the wild.
I know people who are scared to death when they meet a stray dog on the street. These are the same kind of people who fueled the fear of wolves. They are scared of the natural world, having scarcely spent a moment in it in their lives. Too bad for them.
Here i St. Marys County Md. the DNR has introduced Coyotes, in an attempt to lower the deer population.
Only problem is the Coyotes can catch other animals easier, such as sheep, goats and young cattle.
that’s goofy
Anything on the Red Wolf in E.Texas? I have seen some large ‘yotes’ with the long legs and large muzzles. Not pointy nosed like a yote.
Huh?
Not sure of your point, are you trying to insult me?
Dogs may be related to wolves, but as tragedies have shown, wolves are not domesticated as dogs are.
Stray dogs don’t usually bother me unless they show aggression.
I live in what many would consider the back-woods, about as close to the natural world as modern life allows.
Nearest neighbor is about three miles away.
I look forward to collecting my own hides for a Wolf-Skin coat once hunting opens up in the lower 48.
Oh, sal...
The people involved in this article are closer to nature and the wild than most humans ever come. And they know an aggressive wolf is dangerous, just like a cougar stalking them.

Don't know anybody "afraid" of wolves.
I do know that in Chignik a woman was killed and eaten by wolves.
I do know that a friend of mine, who works for Alaska Dept of Fish and Game was forced to kill two wolves who came at him on a dead run. Could have been mistaken identity, but I doubt it.
People go missing here and again, a wolf typically devours everything and defecates hair and bones.
They said that ALL remaining Red Wolves were in pens somewhere around Bay City or such.
The wolf re-introduction program has failed so miserably in Arizona and New Mexico at a cost of about $400,000 per wolf; now the US Fish and Wildlife Services is floating a proposal to introduce the Mexican Gray Wolf from California to West Texas and south of I-40 in their so-called habitat.
Since our worthless Congress won’t reform the Endangered Species Act, the next step is to organize all affected counties in this area to request coordinated agency status under the NEPA process. The custom, culture, and economies of the counties of these four states will be greatly affected just as they have been in Eastern Ariz and Western NM.
The second thing to do is sight in all firearms as illegal killings will continue just as they have in the area of this article.
On the other hand, the wolves might be an effective tool against illegal immigration!
Actually, I was reading the article before I realized it was yours! Well written, as per usual.
One of our neighbors told us there is a bobcat who walks onto his deck about 5:30 every morning and surveys the neighborhood. That didn’t make me feel uber secure.
With pins and rods and reflective vest?
Seriously, it’s looking for pets to eat.
I have no doubt about it. Especially since we have a small blue heeler who disappeared about 5 weeks ago. If he were showing up on my deck, he would probably be long, and permanently, gone.
Oh, you gotta be kidding me!
Why don't they "introduce" the things into their own back yards, and not mine?
Didn't wolves at one time live in places like Massachusetts and New York and Washington? Why not reintroduce them there?
Ideal wolf population: zero.

They pulled that same stupid stunt out here in The Wastelands *years* ago.
The “protected” coyotes [*cough cough*...wolves] ate lambs and calves as they were being literally born and ignoring the bigger, nastier deer completely.
We can shoot all of them we want to, now.
Since that brilliant experiment worked out so well, they’re sneaking mountain lions in.
I just can’t imagine what’s gonna be coming from *that*.
a stray dog on the street.
