By telling me I am wrong when the facts are on my side you are attacking me.

Why do you not go to the article and read it sand look at they evidence they point out?

You never even answered what you think about the devastation of wildlife I gave you as evidence in photos in comment #54.

I realize I have been here a lot shorter time than you, but do not try to scare me away by calling on the teacher. I will defend myself. For some reason I think that in this wolf debate Jim will side with the anti-wolf crowd.

Would you like to ask him? After all, you are the first one to alert Jim to this debate, not me or Jack Hydrazine.
br />We can have a debate or we can call the teacher to separate us...

Your call! But you need to look at the evidence I present. Otherwise you come off like a bleeding heart animal rights wacko with no defense for your stance.

I am not afraid because I have nothing to hide. I know I am right.

DO YOU?

Some of us value the beauty of these animals and we don’t want them wiped out by our government or by angry ranchers. And before anyone wants to jump all over me for being a liberal, or a member of PETA, etc., you should know that I won’t even type a reply to the unfounded accusations.

I also think that some of you on this thread are breaking FR rules of decency. You feed the foaming liberals by displaying nastiness in threads like this one, by coming across as asinine and loony gunholders. Grow up or zip it because your freakish posts reflect poorly on FR as a whole.

Six injured in rare wolf attack (pictures of some of the victims at link)

Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada - A lone wolf that attacked six people, including several young children, in a provincial park over the long weekend has tested negative for rabies, the Algoma Health Unit said yesterday.

The wolf, which has been blamed for several separate attacks Monday at the popular Katherine's Cove beach on Lake Superior was shot by park staff.

I merely pointed out that you're wrong about there not being any documented attacks on humans. You're free to draw any conclusion you wish.

Instead of romanticizing about wolves I think human/wolf relationships are healthiest when both humans and wolves are a little scared of each other.

I've had wolves respond to me howling in Michigan's Upper Peninsula where I've also seen several in the wild.

I also observed and photographed a pack of wolves hunting a cow elk in Yellowstone and let me tell you I would not want these fellows in my back yard. The Michigan wolves were afraid of humans; the Yellowstone wolves clearly were not.

Limited and controlled hunting of wolves will insure that both humans and wolves maintain a healthy respect for one another. It is ridiculous to suggest that I advocate “killing them all.”

. It is ridiculous to suggest that I advocate “killing them all.”

I am an ex marine who saw first hand in my life what wild animals not afraid of humans can do.

This wolf is not like the wolves you have in Michigan, they are biog, and angry. They are not afraid, and the left knows it.

I want every wolf that is of the same species as the Canadian gray that was introduced into the lower 48 killed.

Yes, you heard me right. I want then exterminated. I do not want to live in Northern Canada or Alaska. I fear for my children'[s children. Especially since they now want these same killers brought into almost ever state in the union.

Trust me when I tell you, you do NOT want to come across these machines in the woods. If the left gets their way, you may not, but someday your grandchild will.
br />If you like them so much, then move to Alaska.

[diogenes ghost]

"Should we kill all of them too?"

Well, I'll be hunting in Alaska in Sept, and damned sure hope to whack a brown bear. I already have my tags...they are for one brown/grizzly, one black bear and one wolf.

When I'm done there, I'd be happy to come and whack any hanging around your yard.

'Cuz I doubt you are up for it yourself.

[diogenes ghost]

"....a hunter like my now diseased husband."

Damn.

I knew hunting could be called an obsession....but a disease?

I hope Obamacare covers it, 'cuz I musta caught it.

[txhurl]

I think most of the posters don’t know wolves and how they operate, not having owned or ever watched one.

180 lbs? That’s CRAZY. 100lb wolves are ferocious enough.

And we’re talking about Oregon! Not Alaska.

Shoot, shovel and shut the hell up until these monster hybrids are extinct. They can always be re-bred if there is some pressing reason to, like 3000lb elk overpopulation.

[Tom Hawks]

Can I "Tag" along....:>)

[Tom Hawks]

And we’re talking about Oregon! Not Alaska.

The only hope we have is that they migrate West and help reduce the population of liberals around Portland.

I think I read someplace that the moment these monsters start roaming the hills around Portland that a lot of leftist vegans will become newborn hunters.

"'Cuz I doubt you are up for it yourself. "

I am an effective, proven and repeat killer of both man and animal.

[ParityErr]

My parents own over 200 acres not to far from where that wolf pack was spotted in Oregon. Last summer I was up there with my parents one Sunday afternoon when I spotted what I thought was a coyote on steroids approx 300 yards away just standing there looking at us. This thing was many times larger then a coyote and bulkier. It hit me that I was looking at a wolf. After a minute or so he just turned around and walked away. We had a rifle in the truck but before I could recover from being stunned at looking at a wild wolf and grab it, the wolf was gone.

Up there people live by their own rules and I bet there are shallow graves with dead wolfs.

[txhurl]

And I though I had a hard time taking down my 100lb female when she went postal.

I doubt you would have survived what I have been through. I have eaten things you could only dream of never seeing!

You act like some tough dude, buy any man who has seen the Canadian Grays do what I have seen them do, would never defend them as you do.

I am not talking about the small 50lb Northwestern wolf, I am talking about the 100lb plus Canadian grays. I know because I have witnessed my own dogs being shred apart by them when I only 15.

Take my word, the only good Canadian gray (in the lower 48) is a dead one.

[diogenes ghost]

"Can I 'Tag' along?"

Sure.

And be sure to bring Mariner with ya.

'Cuz bears respond well to bait.

[diogenes ghost]

"I am an effective, proven and repeat killer of both man and animal."

Hilarious!!!!!

A killer squid!!!!!!

,br />Sadly, many at FR here would say you are not just exaggerating, but down right delusional.

We need more stories like yours to be told, because even among conservative circles, the lies about the wolves have been accepted as truth.

Have you ever thought of telling freeper Onevike? His ancestors were homesteaders in Western Montana, and this article was written by him. He is Chuck Wolk. He is also a big supporter of the Anti-wolf program in the lower 4.

[Tom Hawks]

And be sure to bring Mariner with ya.

ROTFLMAO... Some how I do not think I could convince him to tag along....LOL

[rex regnum insanit]

ROFLMAO -— And some Upper West Side idiots would think that’s just fine - that is until their schnauzer disappeared in the dog park!
A couple of months or so ago a coyote made it into lower Manhattan. The Emergency Service cops were bending over backwards to catch it without harming it. They knew that if they killed it they’d catch hell from a public whose idea of wilderness is a Bambi cartoon with a chaser of Fern Gully.

[drtom]

any man who has seen the Canadian Grays do what I have seen them do, would never defend them as you do.

You might not want to generalize that quickly.

I lived in the Canada's Northwest Territories for the better part of three years and often followed wolf packs in Wood Buffalo Park. I have seen them stalk, hunt and kill moose and bison old and young, and yet I find them a beautiful, awe inspiring part of nature. You don't have to be an ecowhacko to enjoy the wild.

Conversely, wolves have an incredible array of social interactions, family and pack behaviors, and communication techniques. It's actually highly fascinating once you get the hang of it.

Similarly, they are far from "killing everything in their path". Yes, they kill dogs and coyotes because they perceive them as competitors, but they don't waste energy on non-sustenance engagements if they can help it. Yes, there have been isolated incidents (one every eight years on average) that haven't been fully explained, but we also have had black bears pursue and kill people within a hot springs spa area. Which doesn't turn blacks into maneating monsters. Fact of the matter is, that statistically wolves have virtually no aggressive history with man in North America.

I guess some of us simply interpret "America The Beautiful" differently than others.
