Agreed...The enviros say wolves are a part of the eco system but with the numbers of humans in the lower 48 they are not needed and that system has gotten along just fine without them for 70 or 80 years.
The ecosystem gets along quite well without wolves.
Only the insane, or the academented, claim wolves are a better method of controlling herbivore populations than hunters.
Only the warped and perverted would prefer to have deer and elk slowly eaten alive by wolves. Yes, Virginia, wolves have to eat them alive because they are too small to kill rapidly and with mercy as do hunters.
The crucial issue is the use of “Endangered Species” alleged need for ‘critical habitat’ to justify the socialization of America.
Hunters pay to kill off surplus animals.
Wolves cost megabucks to do a far less controlled killing.
Think of a wolf pack not as loose cannons, but as “bloodthirsty beasts of the field.”
Such terms were good enough for the conversations between G*d and Moses.
Good enough for them is good enough for me.
