The poor wolves are just so hungry. I think I would leave a snack out for them nightly. A can of dog food mixed with antifreeze should do it!
It’s time for Congress to define “good behavior” on the part of the judiciary and impeach some judges for rewriting law - and the Constitution - from the bench. How is it that “environmental activists” having no direct personal interest in many “environmental” rulings are given standing in court in the first place? It’s also time Congress wrote them out of having that undeserved, unwarranted privilege.
Good point. At least in WI lots of these attacks occur in national forest or wildlife refuges. Maybe a federal 911, they can send out a drone.
While I don't consider the Mexican greys crossing the border illegals, their status as endangered has been a point raised in opposition to a fence. Guess we can make bridges for the Mexican wolves, no one else will use them.
The operative word being me. I keep my dogs close, if an animal attacks them, they're attacking me, how can you tell the difference.
Before or after they bite. The sad thing, about a quarter of the human attacks are rabid. Given that, wait till they bite. Obamacare covers it.
Borzoi, when hunting they use them in groups. In the past. Imagine the outrage if anyone used dogs to hunt wolves today.
Most of the farm people I knew in Wisconsin, my family and their surrounding communities ate venison pretty much year around....called it wild beef. They would have no problem at all taking out a wolf, or pack of wolves, that were threatening their herds. Trout are delicious year around too.
Difficult, but WI and I suspect most states allow claims. Time consuming, and not the reason you keep livestock
Live in Ct. Last year a rabid fox attacked my daughters father in law when we were in the woods cutting heat. Killed it with chain saw. Messy but he did not go through the shots.
PS Had no time to get to rifle. Crazy rabid fox stalked us.
“Probably won’t be too long before it’s illegal to defend your life with deadly force.”
There’s a big media stink going on in the British press about a couple who were vacationing at the condo in Portugal and defended themselves against a burglar who died in the fight.
Authorities are debating charging the couple with the Euro equivalent of manslaughter.
Agreed; none of which SHOULD be necessary, but how do the feds prosecute YOU if one of your animals kills a wolf?
A range steer can gore or stomp a wolf to death, a horse can stomp a wolf to death, a dog bred to protect livestock can tear a wolf to shreds.
Just nature; red in tooth and claw, no justifiable cause for action unless they want to prosecute the dog.
The dogs defense is “ I was just doing what comes natural, just like the wolves”.
Any pack of shepherding dogs should always be at least 5 to 7 strong for mutual support, mine are. Just costs an arm and leg to feed them all.
chuckle, chuckle.
Sure, sure, people say that buy how do we know the DNR didn’t radio tag that judge?
A male Irish Wolfhound stands at least 32 inches tall at the shoulder and weighs at least 120 pounds. The Irish Wolfhound female is at least 30 inches tall and 105 pounds. Many are larger. Males usually average 34 to 35 inches and 140 to 180 pounds; females 32 to 34 inches and 115 to 140 pounds.
The biggest problem with these guys is that they think they're lapdogs! They can also be quite stubborn, but are still the sweetest, most even tempered things you can imagine.
