Did a bit of looking and over half of the pro-wolf comments come from out of state people.

That would of been sweet if the WDFW opened the removal of the wolves to a lottery for Washington hunters.  That alpha male would of made a nice life size mount.
If you love something you will set it free, if it don't come home, hunt it down and kill it.

There is no arguing with people who believe the following:

http://wdfw.wa.gov/conservation/gray_wolf/faq.html

From WDFW,

Were wolves re-introduced to Washington?

No. There is no reason to bring wolves into Washington because they are returning naturally from dispersing populations in nearby states and provinces. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) never reintroduced or transplanted wolves into Washington, nor has any other state or federal authority.

Aren’t the wolves that were reintroduced into Yellowstone non-native or different from earlier wolves?

No. There is no factual basis to the belief that the wolves reintroduced in the mid-1990s to Idaho and Yellowstone National Park from west-central Alberta and east-central British Columbia differed (being larger and more aggressive) from the wolves that originally occurred in the northern Rocky Mountain states.

Wolves are well known for their ability to disperse long distances from their birth sites. Radio-tracking data demonstrates that the wolves from southeastern British Columbia and southwestern Alberta mixed with wolves from Idaho and Montana, along with those from farther north near the source locations of the animals used in the Idaho and Yellowstone reintroductions. When combined with recent research that reveals considerable genetic mixing among wolf populations in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, this information illustrates that wolves form a single population across the northern U.S. Rocky Mountains and southern Canada.

Recent genetic research involving hundreds of wolves sampled from Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming in the 1990s and 2000s found no evidence that the remnant native population of wolves differed from the reintroduced wolves. Thus, the wolves present in these states before wolf recovery began were genetically similar to those used in reintroductions into Yellowstone.

Are you saying that what WDFW posted on their website isn't true?  :dunno:

1st it think its funny because they claim there is a "mexican red wolf" yet all the wolves are the same... a gap in logic there.
The biggest problem i have with WDFW FB site is that SO many bunny huggers cry about the issue don't live i our state. The best thing that the WDFW EVER did was require a wild ID # AND purchas of a tag to comment... it seperated the hunters from the enviros...
If you want to engage these wackos on FB PLEASE don't get into a name calling/yelling session with them. It serves no purpose and only hurts our cause.

My biggest beef is that most links to document fact SUPPORTING wolf mgt is deleted and those that oppose are allowed to remain.  VERY sad.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

From the comments, I didn't realize there were this many cases in Idaho now....

Quote
Chandie Morse Bartell - In conclusion: There are four confirmed human cases of Hydatid Disease in humans in Idaho in the first time in our state's history: 2 USFWS employees who won't go public as they were threatened with their pensions, 1 a friend of mine from Elk River- Keith Lunders he has been cat skanned, and has a cyst in his liver, his letter was entered into the Public Record in front of the Senate Natural Resource Committee, for HB 343, Wolf Disaster Bill, which passed by a huge majority in the Idaho House and Senate. The other is the woman above who went public, and George Dovel wrote an Outdoorsman about her operation, with what she went through. She is not recovered yet, and last I heard still can have daughter cysts, and has to take medications for the rest of her life. *We also have a 15 year old teenager who's family contacted us their son has a cyst on his spleen, that isn't confirmed yet.
This is the tip of the iceberg! With all of the photos of the hunters I've seen with thier wolves and no respirators or anything, there will be many more cases.

You are more likely to catch Hydatid disease from your pet dog. Dogs are the primary spreader of this disease. Ever had a dog with tapeworms? There you go. How many people hug their dogs or let them on their beds or couches? Hydatid disease doesn't prevent people from having contacts with their dogs, but add the word wolf into the equation and people lose their power of reasoning.  http://www.dpiw.tas.gov.au/inter.nsf/WebPages/CART-6SA36R?open

I have posted a handful of comments. They don't listen to anything that I say. It just goes around in circles. These morons need to pull their head out of their green a$$! :mgun: :tree1:
