As time progresses, more people will be killed by large predators in the United States. There was a reason our forefathers worked hard to rid the land of large predators. They are not fun to live with when you depend on production from the land to survive.
True words.
From an ancient farmer’s lament..
“I raise animals, the wolves destroy them.
When I defend my animals, I am arrested,
Because a GREAT MAN who is above raising animals,
Would be in need of wolves.”
I was walking my dog along the Mississippi River about 15 years ago when a wolf ran away about 20 yards infront of me. Everyone tells me it was a coyote. If it was, it was the biggest coyote I ever saw and I have seen coyotes while walking the dog on the streets of Chicago in my neighborhood at the time.
