sorry but I do get it!!!! man has created these problems and really doesn't have a clue as to how to fix it....it ain't the wolves fault it's mans fault!!!! blaming the wolves is just an excuse to whine about lack of success in harvesting an animal...I'll ask again should we stop all reintroduction programs??? or intruduction programs like turkeys in Washington state or other states where they are not native??? what about state where man killed all the elk and we are reintroducing them ...should we stop that also????
Ok Finn, your point is noted.
Rather be Hunting: Yes, re-listing could seriously damage the resource beyond repair. Even the RMEF called this the worse case of wildlife management since the Bison slaughter of the 19th century! The folks that don't live here seem to have a hard time getting their fingers around it, but I think folks are starting to get that this is becomming serious. One thing for sure, the Anti's have certainly gained major ground using the ESA as a template to curb or in some cases eliminate hunting. Look for more ESA restrictions on land access etc under the guise of protection. I just hope folks can get the correlation between the wolf re-introduction and that anti-hunting agenda, and what ramifications that could hold for hunters in all states. Time to watch for lawsuit restrictions for access etc under the ESA to cut down legal hunting. Anti-hunting organizations has scored a major home run with the wolf, they got a shot at a grand slam if the wolf is relisted.
