What purpose do wolves surve. We cant use them as a food source they reduce the deer population but we can do that ourselfs they kill cattle they have no use and their was a bounty for a reason. face it the old timers had their act togather and hows that go history has a tendency to repeat itself. They are not needed and definatly dont need to be federally protected. Their all over in northern wisconsin and our making a drop in deer up their I hunt up their all the time. They should be kept in check like all animals espiecally preditory ones so they know man is also a preditor. And dan that wolve kill if I remember correctly was last winter but was in ancrage alaska. but im not 100 percent sure it was by the dump where the wolves dont fear people though. Their was a bounty on them for a reason and thats all that needs to be said in my oppinion.
