Do you agree that Hunters should kill gray wolves, they are off the endangered list?

The wolves have already consumed 50% of elk and killed off 50% of coyotes. You think that trend will resolve itself if people stop hunting... no. Typical.. hunters tax dollars paid for the 14 year wolf restoration. Now that they are overpopulating and they need to be hunted the cry babies make the hunters out to be the bad guys. Least you not forget you have the hunters to thank for the wolves. Its not as if they are going to hunt ALL the wolves. Just a very small percentage so that they dont kill off all the prey and competition. It is to maintain balance. Something you need to remember is that YOU live on land that was once inhabited by animals. As our wilderness is fragmented and urban sprawl continues proper wildlife management is key to keeping healthy populations of wildlife. You however just sit and point the finger at hunters without even realizing that you are a part of the problem.. difference is that hunters are active in wildlife management while you just sit there and point fingers at everyone else.

yes I agree that they should be killed...they should have never been reintroduced in the first place......by the way this is hunting answers not anti hunting answers

Your 'points' don't make any sense. "If hunters stopped killing deer and rabbit, then grey wolves would not starve." The environment, no matter where, can ONLY sustain a certain number of animals. If there are more deer and other prey animals, that means less room, less food, sicker animals, and that in turn will greatly affect the wolf population, in a bad way. With over population, then the chance for disease is greater and once some diseases get a good 'hold' on an animal population, it can destroy that population and it can be transmitted VERY VERY easily. "Animals were doing fine before Europeans with guns came here." You are NOT native here most likely, same with the rest of us, we are a mix if cultures, and they came over here. Do you even know how much good hunters have done for the environment? Grow up and get an education, and don't let other people make your mind up for you. God gave YOU a brain for YOU to use.

if you want to be an animal lover then you need to keep in mind that city dwellers do less for wildlife than hunters do. hunters have been around since the stone ages. they needed to eat and now, since there is so much land that has been wiped out to make room for cities animals don't have the space they need. the less space there is for animals the more crowded areas for them get. and animals are mostly social creatures but they need space to hunt, sleep, eat, and play. since now there is less habitat for them then the populations of all animals need to be safely and humanely decreased for our benefit and theirs. I love wolves too but they don't have the space they used to have so I am on the animal lovers and hunter's side when i say hunting these non- endangered animals should be allowed.

I think that there should be a season for wolves. While I believe that it is a good thing that they are back, their numbers need to be controlled. Opening a hunting season is the easiest and cheapest method of controlling the population, and money for tags can be used to fund research and population counts to better benefit both wolf and prey populations.

I think people should have the right to protect their livestock and pets from predators. That includes wolves. Additionally wolves have decimated the Yellowstone elk and deer herds (which are protected from hunting). Therefore wolf populations need to be controlled and problem wolves terminated.

of course not. scientific reason:the population control myth is a biased opinion based upon statistics, it is not scientific and have no scientific evidence supporting it human hunting for population control is entirely useless as far as science is concerned. nature is resiliant, the animals that cannot obtain enough food dies, leaving the ones with better hunting genes live, thus passing it on. and for moral reasons too: consider this: what is i take a shotgun, and go to the slums of some poor place in the world and started killing humans because i believe that they will starve is i do not kill them????? it's best to leave nature as it is

obvious troll is obvious

If you hunt it and harvest it, you should eat it and utilize as much of the prey as possible. If you're not going to eat it, then don't hunt it. To every thing there is a season, and, for some things there are seasonings to improve the flavor. ;-) Sincerely, Gentlewolfspaws
