I believe there is a solution to the reintroduction of the wolf in my state. It's called shoot and shovel. Just another example of our tax dollars at work through the wisdom of the uncontrollable DNR.That's the first thing I thought of when I read the article. "Shoot, Shovel and Shut Up." This was the advice from our game warden when we had a prob with beavers and asked him to trap them for us. There are also alot of exotic animal farms around our area... and I've seen puma and wolves roaming our property. The word is, that the owners of these farms will release animals when they have too many to care for and can't get rid of them.
We had an interesting wildlife ruckus last month. Seems some hunters saw a baby black bear in a tree. The mother bear was nowhere around and they were concerned enough to call the Fish and Wildlife ranger to come and rescue the little fellow. The ranger showed up, calmly shot the bear out of tree where it took some time to die. He then threw the dead cub into his truck and drove away. The guy caught hell from the furry animal huggers, the libs and the lib media who demanded the ranger's hide, but he is still doing his job protecting animals. He said, quite rightly, that the cub alone would have died anyway.
Wolves are another matter. The shoot, shovel and bury method works wonders.
