Somewhere between Merrill and Marathon City Wisconsin, a hunter allegedly snapped the pictures below of the 168 pound Wolf that he had just shot.................I just cannot fathom killing such a beautiful animal...........We do not eat wolves, do not use their skins as clothing............To take this type creature from the wild seems more than misguided-----It is just plain wrong!

 
 
MOST BIOLOGISTS WILL TELL YOU THAT THE BIGGEST WOLVES IN THE WORLD TOP OFF AT 120-130 POUNDS, BUT SUPPOSEDLY THERE HAVE BEEN SOME DOCUMENTATION OF WOLVES WEIGHING UP TO 175-190 POUNDS .......................................IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE PICTURES BELOW TRULY DEPICT A 168 POUND WOLF, SUPPOSEDLY KILLED BY THE HUNTER IN THE PICTURE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN MARATHON CITY AND MERRILL, WISCONSIN?

    Obviously none of you live in wolf country. Have you had your dog killed by a wolf? Your livestock? Probably not. The population is well above endangered. The number reaches past 1000 when in 1999 Wisconsins aim was to maintain 350 wolves in the state.

    It's really pathetic that men somehow think it's some great act of bravery or toughness to kill such a powerful and magnificent creature. In reality. it is cowardly. These men would be ripped to shreds if they had to battle these creatures. Instead, they hide from them with their guns and shoot them . I would be embarrassed. It's the opposite of bravery.
