so i wonder what all the wolf-lovin tree huggers are going to say to justify this.


They say its the hunters and the dogs fault, the wolves are just being Canadian Grey wolves (even though this isn't the wilds of Canada). They suggest staying with your dogs, which I don't know of any person that can keep up with hounds chasing a bear or lion.
It basically is just a round about way to do away with the tradition of hound hunting. We have already noticed an increase in bears and lions, especially close to town, with less hound hunters out there. The predators are following the prey animals which have been chased out of the woods by the wolves and are seeking sanctuary closer to human populations. So now it is not just the wolves directly killing our game, it is also the side effect of more bear and cougars to kill game due to less population control through hound hunting.
