Check out the size of these!
This is a picture of a pack of 25 wolves taken in the Weippe area in Idaho .
Each one of these eats 24 Elk per year. This group alone will consume 600
Elk this year. That doesn't even factor in the "sport kills".
The Canadian Gray Wolf runs in packs of up to twenty wolves. For every one
animal they kill to eat, these Canadian wolves kill about three more just
for the fun of it. The biologists call it "sport-reflex killing" or
"lustful killing". The Canadian Gray Wolf is a killing machine.
These are federal wolves, as it was the federal government who introduced
them into Idaho over our objections. They told the state of Idaho that the
wolves would be considered recovered when they had a total of 100 wolves
in Idaho . Now they have between 800 and 2,000 wolves and the situation is
out of control.
Idaho 's wolf emergency is a state issue. And in this situation, the state
of Idaho has both a duty and the authority to protect its people and their
property. House Bill 343 lays out the facts, the argument and the
authority to do so. - Idaho Rep Phil Hart.
Can you imagine gun control out there? This is not a good place to let the cat out. Make sure you are packing protection when you go for a walk in the
mountains. You never know when a wolf pack might surround you!
I'm a hunter myself. But I never understood predator hunting. We say we hunt deer and elk to help control populations and keep them healthy. Then we kill predators who do the same? If the elk population is threatened, maybe they should issue fewer tags instead of killing wolves. After all, they kill the weaker specimens, and we go after trophies. I think wildlife management should be left to the Department of Wildlife, not lawmakers.
If it truly is a non-native, destructive species, this is a huge screw-up in wildlife management and a tragedy on several levels. Not something to be celebrated IMO.
