Enviros and animal rights nuts will go ballistic if this is signed into law.

Wolf Ping!

In before the crazies take over.

[cuban leaf]

None of the FedGov’s business. Let the states deal with it.

...which is apparently what this does.

[PghBaldy]

They better shoot em quickly

[jazusamo]

Ping

[Sacajaweau]

They’re killers....and everyone knows it. Just ask the ranchers. People that treat them like babies are whacko.

[shelterguy]

Wolves kill Bambi so which one do they stick up for?

[Fido969]

Gay wolves?

Wolves were there first. Then in other states they reintroduced wolves to the area and resulted in sheep and calves being killed.

Wolf Tags in Idaho. Resident tag is $18.50, non-resident $31.75. You have to have a valid hunting license first, of course. I believe Montana and Wyoming have similar arrangements.

Not an animal I'd care to hunt, really, you can't eat them. If you're a rancher and you have to shoot one, though, a tag is preferable to having to talk the feds into the fact that you had to shoot.

[ealgeone]

Under the GOP’s bill, landowners, hunters and others would be allowed to kill gray wolves, unless the states decide to implement their own protections.

Where it should have been all along!

I know I am likely a minority on this site, but REAL CONSERVATION is something the Republican party should get back to claming. Why have we ceded conservation to environmental nutjobs? I think we should conserve our natural resources the best we can. It shouldn’t be something we instinctively reject. Conservatuon is a conservative principle. I’m not saying this is right or wrong but I’d like to see our side taking this issue away in a sane way.

This will never pass the Senate.

It should, but it won't.

This is just another way for the Left to stick it to "flyover country".

It is classic urban sticking it to rural people.

Here is an excellent paper that expodes the myth of the "harmless wolf".

It was written by Valerius Geist, Professor Emeritus of Environmental Science, The University of Calgary.

He believed in the myth until hard facts showed him how it was created.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

that’s GAY wolves. Or alternatively, GEY.

[Buckeye McFrog]

“They still inhabit just a fraction of their historic range, and continued protection under the Endangered Species Act is necessary,” said Rep. Don Beyer (Va.), the top Democrat on the Natural Resources oversight subpanel

so....they have to be protected until they once again are seen in Newark, New Jersey, Philadelphia and Chicago?

This guy is a friggin moron.

Stopped by the local pet store one day to pick up some goodies for my GR. Along comes this guy with what I would swear was at least a 75% gray wolf on a leash. WHOA! Long wolf legs, the whole bit. I complimented him on his gorgeous ‘dog’ while noting that said ‘dog’ was wearing a prong collar. After exchanging pleasantries, we both entered the store. I quickly noticed that other folks with their pets were giving this dude and wolf a wide berth. I asked the gal at the cash register about the wolfish ‘dog’ - she said, ‘Oh, they come in once a day as he’s continually socializing ‘Fluffy’ (pick a name). She said they had never had a problem with them. Have to admit, ‘Fluffy’ was very well behaved - but I haven’t been back there since.

...and prohibit lawsuits challenging the removal.

Help me out here folks. I know this is allowed for in the Constitution (to remove from judicial review), but is this the first time it has ever been used?

Can't wait to hear all the whining about separation of powers.

In Wisconsin, they claim there were fewer than 300 in the state. Asking deer hunters up north, they’ll all suggest the totals are at least double that figure. Harvesting as sport is always subject to tree hugger objection, but man, ask dairy cattle, sheep and other farmers and they’ll tell you they want them all dead.

The deer population is down up north due to the wolves and when I’m outdoors up north either due to big cats or wolves, I carry a sidearm.
