The wolves won't be such wonderful company for you if their numbers go up. Backpackers will become endangered, as opposed to wolves. The romance of it goes away quick.

Unless they have rabies, wolves are not dangerous. You have watched one too many disney movies.

There are signs on the ski lifts at Killington that say: "These woods are as dark and lonely as they were two hundred years ago--don't ski off the marked trails!"

I had one for a pet once. He was the sweetest thing imaginable, except for his unbreakable urge to eat my chickens. The reaction he got from dogs we met in the park was remarkable. They would turn inside out when they smelled him. I was training security and guide dogs at the time. He could do either superbly.

Definitely NOT for amateurs, however. You could train him to do anything but could never intimidate him. You definitely couldn't spank him except while he was a puppy.

I still miss him.

I disagree. Back up your assertion, please. As a varmiter I can tell you that feral dog packs are very dangerous to people. This is well documented throughout the south by surveyers and others working the timber stands. And you are going to tell me that wolf packs are not a threat to humans? I want to see some evidence.

Shall I assume you are not a farmer or rancher?

Wolves are dangerous. They are wild animals.
Most of the time they will not approach a human, but a small child alone in the woods and a hungry wolf pack could be a bad combination.

I like wolves. They are a lot more honorable than a lot of humans,, but if I'm alone in the woods where wolves are present, I will have a gun. Just in case.

They're extrememly dangerous, to America that is.

Enviros put these carnivores where they don't belong and then go about the process of bullying the surrounding communities off their property in order to give these animals "territory". All because suburban pipe-dreaming idiots and "backbackers" get all warm and fuzzy and decide to play God. Meanwhile the elitists among us are using them as a tool to further their agenda.

Most re-intoduced wolves aren't even the natural species. They're hybrids that lose their fear of humans during the "re-introduction" and other interaction.

They and other unatural predators (like the cross-bred inbred "Florida Panthers) are some of the most dangerous creatures on earth. I know this first hand.

My suggestion is if you see one these creatures anywhere near where you live, rid your area of them by any means necessary. Or suffer the consequences.
