Wolf attacks Dog in Twisp, Wa.

[Smossy]

Forget what anyone thinks. If anything like a coyote or a wolf is attacking whats mine, or my family. Its going to lose its life. That is all. Laws are irrelevant when it comes to stuff like that.. Take a fricken machette to its face.

Ask Hirshey on here if she thinks wolves act like cougar or bear. I can't speak for her and won't try, but anyone who knows about her incident can guess what she might say.

Next, ask the guy whos dog got attacked on the front porch.

Ask the old lady who spoke at the Colville meeting why she is afraid of wolves and afriad to walk outside her home since wolves have arrived in her neighborhood.

I wonder what happens when a wolf is sighted inside the I-5 corridor neighborhoods, will people be told to put a high fence around all homes. 

FYI - There is a member on this forum who says they have fresh trail cam photos of wolves in GMU 460, I am sorry I can not say who at this time.

Predators are predators. Leave Fluffy or Moe in an open yard and you're inviting problems. Even then some can get past your best counter measures, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't contain your dogs.

Ask the people who owned the dogs below if they see any difference between a wolf attacking their dog versus what actually attacked their dogs...

Again, I think we all should have a right to defend ourselves and what's ours from wolves and that includes shooting them. But God gave us all brains, I believe we should use them and do what we can to protect pets and kids from predators as best as we can. Nothing is 100%, but it beats doing nothing.

Take some personal responsibility for keeping your dogs out of trouble.

Maybe you just can't see my posts. THE DOG WAS ON HIS OWN PORCH. It sounds to me like a brazen wolf is the one looking for trouble. You sound like Humanure because you'll always take the side of the wolf regardless of the evidence available. Why are you posting on a hunting website. Oh yeah, you're a hunter, right?

I addressed and acknowledged that a couple of times already. Perhaps you should go back and read things a little more closely before pounding away on the keyboard.

If we're down to grown men name calling this thread this has outgrown it's usefulness and I've probably made my point. Good luck.

No one's name calling. I'm just noticing a great similarity to a previous forum member named Humanure. I think you're either him or a very close clone. And, are you a hunter, and if so, what do you hunt and with what do you hunt?

[Fishstiq]

I've always been kinda curious why non-hunters spend time on this board. 

As to the original subject, if there was something I could do to defend my dog in that scenario, I would do it.  Protected or not, if the opportunity to shoot the wolf presented itself, I would take it.

This is sad, but not something that can be blamed on the WDFW. And I'm not sure why the state should be paying the vet bill.

I'm still in favor of sending you a few!!! Just tell me where to send the check!   

Save your money. Wolves are a wild animal and if they want to be here, they can get here with the use of their own four feet. Just like they got to Twisp, by walking across the Canadian border. Hmm... Maybe Canada should be responsible for the vet bill?   

OR wdfw should be ronsponsible for not shipping them elsewhere as soon as they were found in the state!!!!!

I think it's kind of ridiculous to say someone posting here is a non-hunter    just because everything he posts isn't in 100% agreement with your posts.

Have you not seen all of AspenBud's posts in the dog section and the bird hunting forum?

Exactly.  Oh what you ripped my dogs face off?  Your pelt will make a great rug. The kind that I wipe my feet off on before walking inside.

I didn't say he was a non-hunter. I questioned if he was and what he hunted. And no, I haven't seen his posts in the bird hunting forum.

Reasonable.  Hmmm.  So when the cougar takes my neighbors golden down in his fenced back yard while he's having breakfast with his family....  WDFW advises us not to let our kids or pets outside as a "reasonable" way to keep from being endangered by an animal that they control through deterrence  or the lack thereof.  Sound "reasonable" to you?  Not me.

Wolves are not coyotes and they are not porcupines.  Just like certain dog breeds with inherent behaviors are treated differently then others.  While it is uncertain if we can successfully coexist with the wolves...couldn't in the past.  It seems ridiculous not to help them at least establish a healthy respect for humans.

Grey wolves endangered. BS.  That is like saying elk are endangered in my back yard, I need a local release program.

NIMBYs piss me off!

WDFW is an agency run out of Olympia.  What runs the people in Olympia?  Money.  Whoever has the most money wins control of the decisions that are made.  Just a thought.

Wait untill Coywolves make more of an appearance here. Then there will really confusion, Pest, or Endangered Species?

We could only hope. I personally think coyotes and wolves both need to die.
