I love the pictures and myth of the wolf. But they don't belong anywhere near human habitat. Saying they were there first is just a tough toenails argument...we are here now and they can go someplace else or be eliminated...

One of the rules of nature is that when a bigger or stronger animal comes into another animals territory, they either fight until on is dead or the weaker one heads for a different territory...I am all for us winning...the wolves in some states have decimated deer and elk populations...

Alaska has filed suit against the feds for not allowing culling as they are taking over wildlife.Killing because they can.Not for food.but practice.
The main reason,other than the numbers,is the interbreeding with the coyotes which in turn,turns out a very vicious animal with the natural instincts of both.Not good.
In Texas,it is a shoot on sight for coyotes as the damage they do is ugly.Very cunning and viscous.
Some of the damage I have seen to livestock,especially horses,is sad.
When a Rancher puts hi or her livestock out to pasture,they expect return on their investment.Coyotes and such can put then in the hole.
I have 400 acres undeveloped behind my property and they are getting closer by the year.I do not even want to go into the diseases they bring.Rabies being at the top.
Oh yes,they breed as fast as they can.
I cull as many as I can.
