I remember when the Washington D.C. crowd was insisting on re-introducing the wolf and grizzly bear in this area the locals pretty much had the attitude, hey reintroduce them in YOUR back yard, not ours! Now the enviornmentalists have programs to pay the farmers back for all of the dead livestock that these predators kill each year.

They may be paying farmers for the dead livestock, but they aren't making any recompense for the loss of all the herds of deer, elk, antelope and moose that are being killed by the wolves. As those animals are wiped out and domestic herds are decimated, the next food on foot is hikers.

Coleus, Zulu--are you going hunting for bear in our fine state?
