You mean that a predator in the outdoors was actually killed?
Noooo--the inhumanity of it all!!!
That wolf was supposed to live in the Mammoth Employee Dorms for the rest of its retired life...
...collar and all.

She was a beautiful wolf. I got to watch her on several occasions. Sad to see her killed this way. On a positive note, her death has re-energized the pro-wolf crowd. This story has made the international news circuit. Yesterday Montana closed the wolf hunting season on the north side of Yellowstone due to the number of study wolves killed.
There has also been a news release about California's lone wolf. Sorry I don't have time to link that story.
Oh yeah, a friend just told me that her pack, the Lamar Canyons, are back in their home territory of the Lamar valley.

Uh you might not want to let the hunter know where the prey is.
Good news otherwise in that non native wolf being shot by a legal hunter.
Riley while I find you an I retesting man I find your post to be ridiculous but that it does not surprise me that you a known liberal would belittle others for enjoying a sport you do lot agree with.
Kinda like when a conservative doesn't want a gun he doesn't buy one when a lib doesn't want a gun he tries to outlaw them.
More elk and deer and less non native wolves.

I'm a liberal and a hunter. Hunting is great. It's like a climbing approach except instead of busting your ass to get in to the mountain you're walking around quietly looking around for animals. Plus, there's nothing quite like shooting and butchering an animal yourself and then eating it all winter. The statement that all hunters suck seems pretty ignorant.
Last year the MT wolf population grew 15% even with the hunts. They're dogs, they reproduce faster than the average crowd of rifle totin' (mostly) males can kill them. I think the hunts are fantastic. The wolves continue to thrive while placating most of the ranchers and farmers who are actually affected by the reintroduced wolf population, unlike (to quote rockjox) you kommies from kalifornia. Seriously, most people shouldn't give a f*#k all how wolves are managed, their life will not change either way.

Same goes for genocides on some other continent, but I still choose to care. It is amazing any of these animals survived before man came along to "manage" them...

How dumb do you have to be to confuse their and they're?
And why wouldn't you just cut & paste the quote in the first place?

There used to be wolves throughout the country. They belong as part of a healthy ecology.
Although hunters raises more money for conservation than all the granola crunching Sierra clubbers, I think we need to bring them back, so there should be a hunting moratorium until then.
But it was a legal hunt. The collar was returned. (It wouldn't have looked good on the wall anyway.)

Calling a human just another predator to justify killing (oops, I mean 'harvesting') is silly.
Can a human even run down a deer and kill it with it's own hands, teeth?
Does this said human predator even live in the same environment?
Does this human predator have no other choices to live?

A genocide results in the loss of human life. A managed hunt on wolves results in around 200 dead wolves per state -MT, ID, WY- a year (at least in the last couple years).
I already said this but you seem to have missed it. Most people in those three states passionately hate wolves, I have heard people proudly tell stories of how they killed wolves without a tag. These hunts allow these people to be partially satisfied (they'd rather each and every wolf was dead) while allowing the overall population to grow.
Last year there were 2 wolves that were hit by cars in my county, THEY'RE back.

I don't hunt wolves, I think they're great for the ecosystem but more importantly I have no desire to spend that much time looking for a animal that will only provide me with a pelt if I shoot it.
Elk burgers though, now those are delicious.

Can a human even run down a deer and kill it with it's own hands, teeth? As a matter of fact, yes! Read 'Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall.

Yeah, humans can run animals to heat exhaustion in hot weather, but they don't kill them with their hands, teeth. We sweat, but they can't.

Is that really such a hard concept for you mono? Ever seen a deer? They ain't all Towering bambi's. And they're all sprinters, not joggers.
