im saying they aint going to kill 50 wolf PUPPIES they are going to kill adults who have a couple months left on there >live, give or take a few. So, they are going to find the old, or sick wolves? How do you know they only have a few months left in 'em? | |
The majority of them will have a couple months left on them, with a maximum of 2 years, but again id rather die 2 years earlier with out suffering then being alive 2 years and suffering, they are picking the biggest wolves, the article just doesnt say that because they want to make it look bad but ive seen the ACTUAL article online google it yourself.

Maximim of two years? That's a decent ammount of time ya know. I'm not looking through google for the article, bit I higly doubt they will find the sick and injured to kill. | |

Human intervention never fixed an ecology. Mostly agreed - the only exception is when humans intervene to undo previous intervention, which can sometimes produce positive results (assuming it doesn't backfire). For example, in Australia rabbits are a huge pest; one that was originally introduced by European settlers (so that they could have something to hunt, ironically - selfish bastards those settlers were!). They compete with the endangered bilbies for food sources and burrows, and breed at a rate that the bilbies simply can't match. As a result one of the species of bilby became extinct decades ago, and the other species is highly under threat. To combat the problem, the myxomatosis virus was twice deliberately released into Australia's wild rabbit population (first in the 50s, and then with a modified strain in 1996). It killed a large percentage of the wild rabbits and helped to partially restore the ecological balance. On the other hand, for every success there are dozens of catastrophic failures. Foxes were introduced partly to curb the rabbit population, but became part of the problem. Infamously, cane toads were imported from South America in an attempt to control pests that were damaging sugar cane plantations; unfortunately they didn't help in that regard at all (being unable to reach the insects who attacked the sugar cane from above). Instead, they're now decimating Australia's native frog population. (We have lots of species of frogs, and they're all really really cute and really really vital to the ecosystem and and really really endangered.) Not that cane sugar should really be grown here in the first place (it requires lots of water and Australia is by and large a dry continent - though it's not nearly as bad as cotton in that regard), but that's another story... Basically, the less humans touch the biosphere the better - otherwise we're left trying to clean up after our own mess, with only a handful of successes. | |
Killing the wolves isn't going to affect me fatally in my lifetime, and "down with the future!" I say, so by all means, kill the little buggers.

No, kill them all.
I just thought of it! We could have a entire new market of stuff. Like jackets and gloves, hats and beef jerky, or steak. Yum. I sent a letter supporting the killing of thr 50 wolves. | |
Have you ever tried venison sausage? That stuff is great, I bet wolf sausage would be pretty good too.

There are somethings I want to say right now that could very well make you cry, but I'll refrain.
Are you stupid? Do you think wolves live for a few months? *sigh* That's 75% of the F****** wolf population, becuase some backwater hicks want to have some elk to shoot at? The thing abot wolves is that they don't starve they're obviously eating the elk the f****** hicks want to shoot or there wouldn't be a problem would there? Anyways you can go back to your little backwater hut and shoot whatever you want there, just don't do it anywhere else. | |
Are elk an endangered species? There are so many elk in the world that if one forest runs low it doesn't matter.
Now wolves they are endangered. | |
Hey you don't seem to understand one scientific law that athough more organisms are born in one generation than the previous one the actual number of the population tends to stay the same!
But hell they don't really teach science in your state(especially not darwin!) that would be heretic! | |
Enjoy 50 of those things eh they would make good stew with some carrots potatoes yummmmmm, I love hunting myself i do it every day, squirrels deer everything and when people say not to do it, it pisses me off a bit =)
