To you riteous guys out there that don't want them shot because they're not hurting anyone and they're just doing what wolves do please keep in mind that we have crow hunting seasons (I'm quite sure no one has ever died as a result of a crow attack), a lot of people shoot prairie dogs for recreation even though many people find them cute and cuddly.
First off read your own post on the subject, we have a season on crows, theres rules to prarie dog hunting as well Im sure.The original post on this subject wasnt about 9 legaly shot wolves, it was about 9 illegal ones, see the difference?Nobody to my knowledge said anything remotely close to "they dont want them shot".
Most of the states in question in this post to my knowledge have reached the population goals that would result in the wolf being delisted as a endangered species and put the management of them into the states hands where they could be killed legally.The only reason they havent been is the stateswont come up with a game management plan to give the feds.Why would I view poaching a wolf as being somehow better then someone poaching a deer?You want wolves killed, take it up with the state, get it legalized, and have at em.Theyre whats holding you back.
