May not have been planted but were protected when they never should've been. Now they want them protected enough to keep them out of their back yards and only in the woods killing the game we pay to hunt. I say share the love. Let'm hire shooters to take care of the wolves and bear and cats. When that doesn't do it and they've spent the money; when fear enters the hearts of the citys and towns people things will be set right.

That's how I'd manage them.

Here in Ohio not more than a couple hundred years ago men traveled in groups for protection against wolf attacks. I can see and hear the crys of fear of the women and children who have been at the mercy of huge packs that used to run wild. When I think of that and the insult to their memory these wolf protectors have commited, I know it's wrong but I want them to share in their crys in the night. They couldn't possibly feel as they did since their homes were not much more than huts but... Only then will they learn.

Our local zoo insults their memory even more, they built a wolf area and placed an observation building in it. It's a cabin with some kind of protective glass so people could experience what it was like in days gone by. Pissed me off the first time I saw it and have never been in it again.

The last wolf killed in this area was killed with a vengence and is recorded in Henry Howe's history of Ohio. If the dead could talk they'd have plenty to say to the fools that let that beast go again.

Said I had a strong O on it.
