Default RE: Wolves KILL hounds!!

You arenot going to condition an animal to learn a different sort of fear from a man or any of its other natural predators. Example: Cars have been around for a long time, but yet it appears no animal has learned to look both ways before crossing (all kinds of things get smashed on the road- deer, bear, coyotes, elk whatever.)

Once again, i have never stated their isn't A LOT of holes in the way they are currently managed, but i firmly believe a medium can be reached where wolves, bears whatever can exist in certain areas alongside humans with little to no negative reprocussions (bears are a great example of that).

To suggest harassing/hunting animals is going to change their nature isn't correct at least at the present date (unless they start evolving). We have domesticated dogs for a whole lot of years yet they continually attack owners/children. You can do whatever you want to them, its still not going to change the way their brains work- they are aimed at only one thing, and thats surviving.

I'm begining to feel like im explaining myself to a child. I've already read the golden book of wildlife management, once you understand it we'll move on.
