managed or extinct?

[paytonma]

to me it seems everyone wants the wolves extinct im wondering if im getting the wrong idea personally i dont want them extinct but i am pissed that there is no managment system

Extinct? No.

Managed and confined to the larger wilderness areas. Yes.

Shoot on sight, aerial gunning, trapping, poisoning, and bounties anywhere outside said wilderness areas. Yes.




Kind of a loaded question though. Even if you were to remove every single wolf from the lower 48 they would still not be extinct. Not even endangered. Conservative estimates put 60k wolves just north of the border so there's no real threat to them becoming "extinct". Removed from a geographic location yes, but not extinct.

Managed in wilds of Alaska, Canada and Yellowstone = YES

Extinct from Washington and Idaho = YES

No poisons or aerial shooting. That's cheap.

Cheap?

Poisons have to much collaterial damage. Thats why they banned 1080.

Managed, heavily managed.  Some areas might seem like great wilderness to huggers, but there will be conflict after conflict after conflict.

I'd like to see them managed and relocated as necessary.

Specifically, I'd like to see very dense wolf populations managed  in New York City and SanFrancisco with proportionately smaller populations as the general public of each area wishes.

Places that don't have room for wolves - like Idaho and Montana - should be able to make that decision for themselves.

[CementFinisher]

neither. I would hope the species would never go extinct. But to washington its an invasive species so i believe they should be killed off here.

i would be okay with them not being extinct if they were managed here the same way the coyotes are...... open every day no bag limit, trapping also allowed.  i think we would be able to keep them down to a reasonable level that way.
