"What animals are the biggest predators in the field?"

Wolves are predators. I'm glad that we can agree on that. I think they are beautiful and magnificent animals and I realize that they are predators. Imagine that.

"Yes, they do kill for food but, they also kill for sport. If I were a farmer I certainly would have my 45 aimed at every wolf I could find."

But what, you think it is *cool* that humans kill for sport? Wolf kills feed a lot of other animals. A wolf that comes on private property may get shot. But a wolf is part of Nature and belongs in the wild, imo.

The penalty for killing an endangered wolf, even in the protection of ones' livelihood, is $100,000 and a mandatory prison sentence.
