"While the pro-wolf argument was and remains about the beauty of wolves, the need of ecosystem for wolves, and their general lack of negative impacts; the anti-wolf position tends toward apocalypse".............. "The wolves are claimed to be the very worst thing that has ever happened to big game, the elk and other herds are said to be in great decline, the ranching economy has been delivered a blow to the gut".......... "Worse still the entire wolf project is a giant conspiracy to bring a huge non-native beast to Idaho, Montana, Wyoming from the far away country of Canada instead of restoring the timid, little seen, and small native wolf of the Rocky Mountains, canis lupus irremotus"............ "The purpose of the great conspiracy is to end hunting, bring more federal control (or perhaps United Nations control) for its own sake, destroy gun rights, and the like. All these things are supposedly based on malice"................"While this is very speculative, perhaps twenty years from now we might see wildlife distributed not as much by geography and habitat as by politics"............. "Red states might have big populations of a few large animals, designated as “game,” plus varying numbers of other animals, viewed as varmints"....... "The game would be managed much like livestock, e.g., cows are “slow elk.” Elk are quick cows, good for targets".............. "Blue states might have a much larger variety of kinds of animals"............ "They would be treated as wildlife as well as game".............. "The category of varmint would be abolished"Coyotes, Wolves and Cougars foreverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05594002891926526543noreply@blogger.comBlogger1125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3113182078732942696.post-62128184555926462292013-06-03T11:31:47.115-07:002013-06-03T11:31:47.115-07:00It is very heartening to see the revival of wolf p...It is very heartening to see the revival of wolf populations nationwide--lets hope this success leads to more!robert kiyosakihttp://www.highyieldlowerrisk.com/opportunities/why-a-precious-metal-ira/noreply@blogger.com
