I guess a million bucks is a little steep for a fence.
I don't know what else to tell ya. But IMO wolves were nearly wiped out by man not too many years ago just like the Bald Eagle, elk, deer, turkey, buffalo and countless other animals in this country and around the world. Wolves should be reintroduced to places that they used to roam free but it should be done in such a manner to allow for controling growing populations.
Who's hogging up all the land? The city folk, or the farmers/ranchers????? Where do YOU live???? Do you live in a populated area????
You know what, That argument holds about as much water as a noodle strainer. Every single person on this planet has some sort of a dwelling where wild animals used to roam free. I'd be willing to bet that a ranchers house, barn, and other buildings are taking up a lot more land that my apartment is. Do you think I like the city living? Please, I'd give my right #@%& to live on thousands of acres somewhere in the mountains where there were / are wolves and be greatful that I had a "wolf problem"!!!!!!!! I can't afford to do it though. At $10,000 an acre it's gonna be a heck of a long time before I can do so. I didn't have a ranch handed down through multiple generations like most farmers / ranchers did.
Yes the predators need to be limited just like avery animal in this country. But for someone to say and advise people that we should just go out and kill every wolf that you see is just an ignorant and completely selfish thing to say. Humans have done this with all kinds of animals and
MOST of us have learned that this planet is much better off with the animals alive and well than be extinct.
However, I strongly disagree with the way that they went about the re-introduction process.
This one statement is a huge part of the entire problem with wolf reintroduction.
Like I said earlier, our ancestors made the bed that we are arguing over now. When people almost wipe out an entire species of animal eventually someone is going to do something about it. That's when the trouble starts because we then are forced to reintroduce non native animals that have totally different habits and instincts to take the place of the wiped out natime animals that were there.
