Here is some more stuff that I have posted before.

A little research will show you that it is not our states management that has messed things up. Needless lawsuits and WY unwilling to change their Wolf Plan is what has messed it up for the states and hunters. I worked with some of the wolf bio's from Oregon and Idaho and don't remember anyone wanting the feds to stay in control of the wolves and not the state agencies. You can thank the anti's and WY for that.

I have seen a Oregon wildlife book that was printed in the 1930's that talked about how Oregon male wolves were over 100lbs and the same size as the Canadian wolves. I think the aggressive Canadian wolves comes from the wolf hysteria we have been seeing lately. All wolves are aggressive. They are predators that kill to eat remember.

Do you really think that if the U.S. and Canada had such a different wolf, that the Canadian wolf would have never made it over here? I don't remember a 10ft high fence that went 5ft under ground along the North border of the U.S. I would like see some scientific post about "thrill kill" from wolves. All the research on wolves doing thrill kills is like around 6 times in history. Please don't post some non scientific pics or typing from saveelk.com website. I want science and not propaganda. Wolves do come back to kills, make caches from kills, and can get chased off by bears or humans. Please site your scientific source; so I can go there and investigate it myself. Thanks

One reason that the wolves may seem very aggressive is the fact that they have not been hunted yet. Here in Oregon before 1995 and the Dog Ban; the mountian lions were affraid of humans and we had very few bad reports about lions. Ever since the ban of dogs hunting lions we have had hundreds of reports a year about people getting stalked and domestic animals getting attacked. Does that mean we all of a sudden have a new subspecies of lions that are more aggressive? I think not. The same holds true for the wolves. If we ever get a hunting season started we shall see the aggressive behavior of the wolves decrease. Lets just hope that we get a hunting season soon.

A few people dying from wolves will not change a thing. Just look at Cali and the lions that have killed people.

We can thank WY and the anti's in court battles for what we see.

Here is wolf article if anyone is interested.
